Coven Daughters, Book 1
Heat Factor: 🍆🍆 (that means his firm penis leaves his pants twice)
Character Chemistry: Insta-lust, but they are both broken so they complete each other.
Plot: Novice Witch hexes Rock God old enough to be her father. Lots of woo-woo shenanigans ensue.
Overall: I could not suspend my disbelief enough for this one
Heat Factor: More of a Viennese Waltz than a Tango
Character Chemistry: I liked that they didn’t try to fight it
Plot: He’s a 27-yo free spirit, she’s a 37/38-yo obsessed with structure, so of course forced proximity leads to a “fling”
Overall: I was mostly able to let go of people being messy and enjoy a charming romance, but there were some latent value judgements I didn’t like
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
Albin Academy, Book 1
Heat Factor: Pretty sure my couch is just a pile of ashes now
Character Chemistry: Holy forking shirtballs! Yes!
Plot: Not-put-together man needs to figure himself out, too-put-together man needs to address his emotions.
Overall: Cole McCade can rip my guts out and give me a massive book hangover anytime.
Heat Factor: Sex is frequent, detailed, and degrading. Ruby gets double-teamed a lot.Â
Character Chemistry: “You remind me of myself when I was younger. I will therefore put you in extremely uncomfortable positions so that I can mold you into your best self.”Â
Plot: Business school teacher seduces student.Â
Overall: A porno in book form.
