Heat Factor: Spicy enough
Character Chemistry: He berates her and does angry seduction and she melts under his caresses, so you know I am ALL about it
Plot: She’s his bodyguard, but he thinks she’s an escort/con artist
Overall: Once I started pretending this book was published in 1980, my enjoyment increased dramatically
Feminine Pursuits, Book 2
Review of Feminine Pursuits, Book 1
Heat Factor: Slow, steady, burn.
Character Chemistry: So much pining! But also, believable BFFs. And they do that thing where they call each other by last name and I swoon every time.
Plot: A year in the life of Flood and Griffin.
Overall: The plot meanders but sometimes a book (even a romance) is more than a tight plot. I recommend reading this one.
Scottish Bookshop, Book #3
Heat Factor: They’re not even in the same place until the very end of the book (seriously, 96%), so no
Character Chemistry: Weirdly, the chemistry worked for me, and I’m still trying to figure out how
Plot: Two nurses do an exchange program
Overall: It’s a lot and scanty at the same time
Heat Factor: Oliver has some stern daddy energy, and I am here 👏 for 👏 it! 👏👏👏
Character Chemistry: These two beautiful wrecks gave me butterflies
Plot: “My life is a bit of a mess, and a fake relationship will possibly help me fix it. Or complicate it. Or make it so much better.”
Overall: I stayed up until 4 a.m. to finish this book and didn’t even realize it. And I wish I could both devour it again and slowly savor it.
Time Traveler’s Network, Book 1
Heat Factor: Three short sex scenes with a few details
Character Chemistry: Instalove based on shared trauma
Plot: Downton Abbey, but with time travelers
Overall: So much drama
