Hero – Current military or veteran
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
Heat Factor: Closed door
Character Chemistry: When he kisses you, you know
Plot: Pride and Prejudice, from the servants’ perspective
Overall: This is a great read
Heat Factor: Much is implied, little is on the page
Character Chemistry: Falling at first conversation
Plot: Romeo & Juliet, Medieval Kings Edition
Overall: Somehow I couldn’t put this book down, even though it’s not presented in a particularly suspenseful way
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
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
