Sexytimes
Shore Leave, Book #1
Heat Factor: Bed sex, bathtub sex, shower sex….lotsa sex
Character Chemistry: I feel like a heart eyes emoji right now
Plot: Two men who are absolutely not a good match engage in a fake welcome home kiss that turns into a fake relationship that turns into OMG is this a good match?!?!
Overall: This is one of those delightfully tropey romances that feels like a warm hug to read
The Spies Who Loved Her, Book 1
Heat Factor: Everyone is very horny.
Character Chemistry: Horny, yes. Is it love? Eh.
Plot: 50% being horny, 50% spy stuff.
Overall: Are you looking for some horny spies? Then have I got the book for you!
Perfect Fit, Book #4
Review of Perfect Fit, Book # 3
Heat Factor: Well, they explore a lot of kinky play, but it’s not the same as a book that is aiming for titillating kink. If that makes sense.
Character Chemistry: The trust comes fast but the emotion builds slow
Plot: Nathalie had a bad Dom and decided BDSM wasn’t for her, but when she discusses her history with a good Dom, she realizes she might be able to safely explore her fantasies again.
Overall: This is an example of when really spicy content doesn’t feel spicy because it’s so thoughtful
Coven of Desire, Book # .5 & 1
Heat Factor: There’s definitely a lot of horniness. A lot. A lot, a lot, a lot.
Character Chemistry: There’s an insouciant horny demon who’s present for sex and not emotions, and there’s a werewolf who’s…complicated
Plot: Layla is a witch, and she’s got an incubus attached to her soul, and also she has a crush on a werewolf who (might be but probably isn’t) murdering women
Overall: Didn’t work for me but if you like totally horny, totally bonkers witchy fantasy, it might work for you?

(a.k.a. The Wallflowers, The Next Generation, Book #3)
(a.k.a. The Devil in Winter Epilogues, also Book #3)
Erin’s reviewed the whole Ravenels series: Book #1 | Book #2 | Book #3 | Book #4 | Book #5 | Book #6
Heat Factor: These are some horny Victorians
Character Chemistry: It’s totally insta-love, and it was written lucidly enough that it worked for me
Plot: “We’ll never work because of an unequal match” + “Why is someone trying to murder me?”
Overall: I re-upped my membership in the Bad Decisions Book Club for this one and read it in one sitting. No regrets.
