Let's talk dirty books
Splendid Trilogy, Book 1
Heat Factor: Hotter than most of JQ’s later books, but still just maybe Bunsen burner level
Character Chemistry: High drama but the overkill is fun
Plot: misunderstandings, compromises, kidnappings, OH MY!
Overall: If I were to write a first romance novel, I would hope it approaches this level of entertainment
Supernatural Society, Book 1
Review of Supernatural Society, Book 2
Heat Factor: Heated moments are shrouded in euphemisms
Character Chemistry: Longing glances, “accidental” touches, and purposeful misunderstanding
Plot: Parlourmaid falls for wacky inventor, seduction ensues
Overall: A delightful read
Rokesby Series, Book 3

Overall: The dialogue was too sparkling and overshadowed a good story
Wicked Dukes Club, Book 3

The Clayborne Brides, Book 1
