Heartstone, Book 1
Heat Factor: There’s dragonfire, but that’s about it
Character Chemistry: Not really
Plot: Pride and Prejudice and Dragons
Overall: I was low-key stressed the whole time I was reading this book
Heat Factor: Characters remove clothing, but it rarely gets racier than that.
Character Chemistry: Distinctly lacking.
Plot: Maiden + Forest + Autumn Equinox
Overall: I would classify these stories as high fantasy, not romance
Heat Factor: Well done
Character Chemistry: Enemies to sex
Plot: Superhero defeats villain with amazing orgasm powers
Overall: Not particularly romantic – erotica is a good spot for this one
Fire and Ice Trilogy, Book 1
Heat Factor: No sex, but some very explicit moments of “we are very very ready to bone”
Character Chemistry: Lots of mistrust, but they are stuck with each other
Plot: Vampires vs mages plus inscrutable magic politics with a high body count
Overall: Too much snark
