Location
Two Plus One, Book #1
Heat Factor: Definitely steamy, but not over the top
Character Chemistry: I was most invested in the relationship between Justin and Antonio, but Emily building relationships with the two men was probably actually better constructed
Plot: Silicon Valley + Let’s figure out this menage thing
Overall: Come for the menage, stay for the romance
The Rajes, Book 2
Review of The Rajes, Book 1
Heat Factor: Fade to black
Character Chemistry: Swoon-worthy
Plot: Ashna enters a cooking competition in a bid to save her floundering restaurant, only to discover that her competition partner is her high school boyfriend slash love of her life.

Invested in You, Book #1
Heat Factor:
Character Chemistry: The meet cute was a great setup, but it didn’t pull through for the story.
Plot: Overblown
Overall: I was constantly cringing.
Old School Romance, Book #1
Heat Factor: It’s that “I can’t resist anymore – wait, how did we end up plastered to your door with my skirt around my hips?” kind of thing.
Character Chemistry: On the one hand, they’re magnetic to each other; on the other hand, he doesn’t treat her well.
Plot: I saw my best friend naked and now I’m having all these FEELINGS.
Overall: It worked for me, but it definitely isn’t going to be for everyone.
