Sass and Steam, Book 5
Heat Factor: It’s a sweet and sassy kind of steamy—not too many scenes, but you’re not left hanging.
Character Chemistry: These two are fantastically well-matched. It makes absolute sense almost immediately, even when they’re butting heads.
Plot: A pirate and a therapist fly around in an airship and take down an evil bad guy, fool around, and fall in love.
Overall: This was a sweeping, adventurous romance with heavy hints the rest of the series is worth catching.
Part of the Passports to Pleasure Series of standalone romances
Heat Factor: The last bit is a big ole sexathon. On a boat.
Character Chemistry: Instalust becomes instalove
Plot: Hattie goes on vacation and meets an Italian hottie
Overall: There were some gaps and I was left with…questions
The Family, Book #1 & 5
Review of The Family, Book #2 & Book #3
Heat Factor: There is plenty of time for sex no matter what else is happening
Character Chemistry: A lot of this couple’s chemistry occurs in Beautiful & Dirty, but they’re so happy to be reunited in The Don
Plot: Shae meets Salvatore on a day that she’s about done with her selfish boyfriend, and when her day in Naples ends with a pregnancy, she’s a little lost…until her cousin’s disappearing act takes her right back to Italy and Salvatore’s restaurant
Overall: You kind of have to read the whole series, but if half sex, half mayhem sounds fun to you, I definitely recommend it.

Heat Factor: Mercy. It is absolutely filthy. *fans self*
Character Chemistry: Her spikey spots fit in his soft spots
Plot: “What kind of criminal shenanigans did my family get me into?” → “Guess I’m gonna make the most of this unplanned vacation on the Amalfi Coast.”
Overall: AHHHHH! Cliffhanger! (Not for Zoe and Alfonso, but this is such a dramatic series!)
The Family, Book #2
Heat Factor: I think sex on a public train car might be a first…
Character Chemistry: “I can trust a man who wants to protect me so he can fuck me. Your motives are clear.”
Plot: It looks like a mafia book, but it’s actually more like a road trip/heist book
Overall: This book is so unbelievably fun.
