Heroine
Heat Factor: Our trio is very creative about the ways they fit their bits together.
Character Chemistry: They didn’t seem like fleshed out characters to me, so it’s hard to say that they had chemistry. But they didn’t have negative chemistry either.
Plot: What happens when a woman comes to gold rush California, when men outnumber women 100 to 1.
Overall: Very expository.
Decades: A Journey of African American Romance, Book #3
Heat Factor: Some cursory details.
Character Chemistry: They seem to have a chemical attraction that supersedes all of Miles’ bad behavior.

Overall: The music details were fun, but that’s the only nice thing I can say.
Heat Factor: Nothing too involved – it’s kinda lavender
Character Chemistry: Ugh
Plot: Miles abandons Leigh then changes his mind 3 years later and that’s just supposed to be fine
Overall: DNF at 45%

Character Chemistry: They have SUCH chemistry. It was obvious in book one, and it’s delicious in book two.
Plot: Hannah convinces her movie director boss to move their location to Westport, where she ends up rooming with her sister’s husband-to-be’s best friend, Fox.

Overall: Just electrifyingly steamy and so romantic…
