Heat Factor: It’s definitely sexy
Character Chemistry: Sexual chemistry for sure
Plot: Sexy lockdown rumpus
Overall: The sex writing was really well-executed, but I didn’t buy all of the emotional stuff
Heat Factor: Lots of peppers (and a tad of pepper spray perhaps?)
Character Chemistry: It overpowers all reason and sanity, I think
Plot: Sara was a promising student at Julliard when her whole life fell apart. Four years later, she sees a tall, wealthy, handsome man and they immediately get tangled up in a super intense, emotionally-explosive relationship with a lot of serious issues and roadblocks to happiness

Heat Factor: I did a text search and confirm sex but as to quality I cannot say
Character Chemistry: It was good, but I should have been more invested by the time I DNFed in order to make it really click
Plot: He’s the heir with overbearing parents and political problems blah, blah, blah; she’s the clumsy commoner who’s a breath of fresh air but could never really be with him blah, blah, blah
Overall: I was so optimistic about having a fun fake relationship comfort read but I really just cannot deal with this one
Heat Factor: Please pass the fan
Character Chemistry: Fixation has its perks
Plot: Absolutely ridiculous
Overall: I had so much fun
Magic in Manhattan, Book 1
Heat Factor: It’s absolutely fade-to-black, but also Arthur has a whole stern daddy thing going on, which, as we know, I am here for
Character Chemistry: I texted on the group chat: “This Allie Therin paternalistic hero is really doing it for me”
Plot: Young man with magic underestimates/fears his powers until forced to confront his abilities when swirled into magical intrigue by slightly older man
Overall: This book was so marvelous in so many ways that the only downside is that it’s not a standalone.
