Review of Dangerous Damsels, Book #1
Heat Factor: Charlotte and Alex have a lot of sex, but the reader does not get to watch.
Character Chemistry: Mutual kidnapping is always a winner.

Overall: A bit heavy-handed and there’s some weird stuff going on with the tone
New World, Book #2
Heat Factor: Ana tells Kit she’s a good girl so you *know* there’s some heat here.

Royal Dragons of Alaska, Book #4
Reviews of the rest of the Royal Dragons of Alaska series: Book #1, Book #2, Book #3
Heat Factor: There’s really just one scene (not long) and everything else is off page
Character Chemistry: He can feel the mating bond, but she can’t!
Plot: The mysterious Kenth appears in the castle bellowing about his kidnapped daughter. His family is shocked to see him, but he’s shocked to see that the stranger in their midst is his mate.
Overall: I wasn’t as invested in Mackenzie and Kenth as I have been in other brothers’ stories, but the growth of the overarching series plot was really interesting.
Heat Factor: It’s pretty fraught and steamy
Character Chemistry: There are four pairs in this generational story, and all of them have this desperate, meant-to-be energy
Plot: This is a romance that spans centuries and revolves around the sirens of the Island of Kell. It’s very gothic and desperate and sexy.
Overall: It was a tad slow for me in the beginning but then I got really into it and ended up loving it.
