Hero
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
Heat Factor: The sex writing is remarkable. Also there’s pegging.
Character Chemistry: I believe the friendship. I believe the attraction. And I believe the love.
Plot: The third wheel becomes an equal partner.
Overall: This is a beautiful book.
Heat Factor: It’s steamy but it’s a slow build and it’s a very unique unfolding.
Character Chemistry: There are so many kinds of chemistry here it’s impossible to summarize.
Plot: Jack is a world-famous musician whose career began with his other half, Mia. At perhaps the twilight of his career, Jack is interviewed by Erin, a journalist. Together they unfold a story and also a deep and profound connection.
Overall: This is a two-fer – one romance, smut adjacent but deeply touching. The other, a very sweet HEA. I would not categorize this as a classic romance, but a very well written adult fiction with an engaging romance story line.
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
