Rokesby Series, Book 3
Review of Rokesby Series Book 1, Book 2
Heat Factor: A tiny bit of heat, right at the very end
Character Chemistry: Banter
Plot: Kidnapped by pirates! Twice
Overall: The dialogue was too sparkling and overshadowed a good story
Corsairs, Book 1
Heat Factor: You won’t want to admit that it’s actually doing anything for you, but it kind of will. You don’t have to tell anyone.
Character Chemistry: Good stuff, considering the interspecies complications.
Plot: Human slave woman is rescued by giant blue alien pirate! And of course they fall in love and it’s not at all weird!
Overall: Listen, if you can get past the horns and the tail and the weird blue scales…okay, if you can get past the owner/slave dynamic…okay. So it’s weird. But you won’t NOT love it.
Beau Lantry, Book 2
Heat Factor: Blazing sunshine on a tropical island paradise. Bring sunscreen!
Character Chemistry: Eh
Plot: They keep saying they are facing a lot of danger but the stakes never feel really high.
