Hero
Heat Factor: The door closes early! And I don’t often feel this way, but it’s actually disappointing because there’s a lot of possibility there for building the relationship during those scenes.
Character Chemistry: I honestly didn’t care what else was happening when Finn kept saying “my wife” (swoon!)
Plot: Woke up married (Irish tourist edition) plus Hollywood politics drama
Overall: The epilogue is from the dog’s perspective. 😐
Blood and Bone, Book #2
Review of Blood and Bone, Book #1
Heat Factor: It’s hot but it’s also really deep and intense.
Character Chemistry: Having been a Team Mia fan in the first book, I am shocked to find myself fully team Erin in this one.
Plot: Having researched and ghostwritten singer Jack’s memoir, Erin is stuck in a situation of her own making–she’s fallen in love with her subject, he’s famous, and she’s pretty sure he’s still in love with his late lifelong love and bandmate Mia.
Overall: This was such a satisfying ending to the first book–Mia and Jack’s happily ever after is hard-earned, slow, and satisfying.
Hush Note, Book #1
Heat Factor: They have very gentle loving sex because of Kira’s past
Character Chemistry: I got sucked in by all their drama, so I guess it worked
Plot: “OMG I am SO happy to see you again!” → “WTF I have a CHILD?!” → “Let’s be together forever, I promise that me being a rock star who tours for months every year will not be a problem.”
Overall: I was expecting to get bent out of shape about the secret baby drama, but I got some bonus annoyance as well.
Shore Leave, Book #1
Heat Factor: Bed sex, bathtub sex, shower sex….lotsa sex
Character Chemistry: I feel like a heart eyes emoji right now
Plot: Two men who are absolutely not a good match engage in a fake welcome home kiss that turns into a fake relationship that turns into OMG is this a good match?!?!
Overall: This is one of those delightfully tropey romances that feels like a warm hug to read
Stage Dive, Book #1
Heat Factor: The title refers to music, not a bedroom activity, but the bedroom activity is sexy
Character Chemistry: Great
Plot: 21-year-old celebrating her birthday in Vegas wakes up married to a rock star
Overall: This book is exceptional
