Let's talk dirty books
Filthy Rich, Book #1
Heat Factor: It’s hot. 🔥 Whew.
Character Chemistry: At first it’s like, “you’re really hot, we’re having sex,” but then eventually the emotional chemistry starts to sizzle.
Plot: Babies solve life problems (?) by creating more life problems (!!!)
Overall: I’m interested to see what this author does next.
Devil You Know, Book 1
Heat Factor: There is a stupendous amount of very detailed foreplay
Character Chemistry: Their chemistry carries the book
Plot: Overcoming sexual trauma, with a heavy side of blackmail and death threats
Overall: The relationship is great, but the rest didn’t quite work for me
The Abbott Sisters, Book 1
Heat Factor: Mostly closed door, but not 100% (in case you’re squeamish)
Character Chemistry: In the way of love based on a lie, the chemistry was aces
Plot: Pretty close to exactly what you’d expect
Overall: I alternated between rage and euphoria
Lone Star Brides, Book 1
Heat Factor: Chaste
Character Chemistry: They say that they have fallen in love, but I’m not sure when that happened because they have very few interactions, even though they’re already married.
Plot: It did not go where I expected it to
Overall: Interesting read, but not a satisfying romance novel.
Heat Factor: Not too steamy, but a lot of tension
Character Chemistry: Starts out pretty innocently and then gradually intensifies
Plot: Young heiress escapes a machinating cousin with the help of young, wounded officer.
Overall: It’s a straight up stress-reliever. Fall right in and enjoy the ride.
