Series Review: Enemies with Benefits by Annika Martin and Joanna Chambers (2017)

Heat Factor: Much of the first quarter of the book is kinky hate sex. Then it’s just lotsa sex. 

Character Chemistry: Apparently threats to life and limb are an aphrodisiac

Plot: Will is trying to kill the man Kit is protecting (until he gets the file he wants and can kill his protectee himself)

Overall: If you can buy into the drama, it’s a pretty good spy vs. spy suspense

Review: Liar City by Allie Therin (2023)

Sugar & Vice, Book #1

Heat Factor: Yeah, so, we barely even know they like each other at the end of this one

Character Chemistry: I don’t know how Therin managed it, but I wanted them to touch SO BADLY even though 1) it’s dangerous and 2) they mostly snip at each other

Plot: Empaths are a persecuted group, feared for their abilities even though they have to be pacifists (and vegans) by virtue of their extreme empathy, except that there’s a triple homicide that looks suspiciously like Reece’s nightmares, and the man rumored to keep empaths in check suddenly arrives in town.

Overall: It is not actually a romance (yet), but it is SO FREAKING GOOD

Review: His Christmas Guardian by Cindy Dees (2022)

Runaway Ranch, Book #4

Heat Factor: An extremely slow and unusually chaste burn

Character Chemistry: That “enemies” to “in love” switch flipped pretty fast

Plot: Government assassins put the Christ back in Christmas romance

Overall: Well…this was a thing I read
