Waiting for Tom Hanks, #2
Review of Waiting for Tom Hanks #1
Heat Factor: There’s nothing. It’s closed door.
Character Chemistry: I think all the chemistry was actually in the first book
Plot: 30-ish woman having a meltdown
Overall: This is kind of like when you’re in your early 20s, listening to your friend constantly talk about the guy she’s obsessed with but refuses to do anything about it.
Heat Factor: There’s one fairly explicit scene around the midpoint
Character Chemistry: They really like each other, but…it’s complicated
Plot: Poppy accidentally gets pregnant, decides to keep the baby, falls in love, and finds herself
Overall: Cute
Heat Factor: Not quite fade to black, but the sex writing is more focused on the emotions than the mechanics
Character Chemistry: Veering into insta-love territory; maybe it’s fate
Plot: Grace has an identity crisis
Overall: Messy and beautiful
The Goddesses of the Morrigan Series, Book 2
Heat Factor: I’m covered in the blood of my enemies! It’s a perfect time to bone!
Character Chemistry: Macha is pretty self contained
Plot: Battle Goddess experiences several lifetimes, learns some stuff, kills a bunch of people
Overall: This is not in any way a romance, but it was an entertaining read
A Turner Series Novella
Heat Factor: Marshmallow toasting levels
Character Chemistry: Molly is just what Alice needs
Plot: Disgraced vicar’s daughter grows spine, learns art of blackmail
Overall: Good build up, abrupt resolution
