Royal Dragons of Alaska, Book #3
Reviews of Royal Dragons of Alaska: Book #1, Book #2
Heat Factor: Not closed door, but not very intense or explicit
Character Chemistry: The way they go through their captivity together is just absolutely charming
Plot: You think it’s going to be an angsty, pining, stealing-the-fiancée kind of a thing, but then they get kidnapped and everything goes sideways
Overall: My favorite so far in this series. SO FUN.
Nights at the Mahal, Book #2
Heat Factor: Not super explicit
Character Chemistry: Instalove, but I bought it
Plot: Ethan crashes the wrong wedding, but the bride runs away with him anyways
Overall: Delightful
Heat Factor: This is a very mild heat, closed-door romance
Character Chemistry: They have undeniable chemistry and it’s pretty clear to anyone in the room
Plot: Aurelia has delayed marriage for years because she wants to marry for love. When her father dies and she learns her disabled brother may be forced into the military to serve, Aurelia has to choose a marriage of convenience in order to protect her brother. HOWEVER–the dreamboat soldier tasked with delivering her to her elderly groom throws a huge kink in all her plans.
Overall: This book was surprisingly gripping–the path to happiness is not easy and they are both somewhat powerless. I was very entertained with this sweet read.
Bishop Brothers, Book #1
Heat Factor: do do do do do EXPLOSION do do do do do
Character Chemistry: They’re the only two actually talking to each other in this book, so yep
Plot: Unwanted middle billionaire son is ultimatumed into an arranged merger marriage, so it’s a problem when it turns out he has real chemistry with the wedding planner
Overall: This book is deceptively low key
Heat Factor: This marriage is full of amazing sex.
Character Chemistry: They totally work. Like.
Plot: Merry keeps getting engaged to men and realizing she doesn’t love them! Luckily Trent isn’t worried about nonsense like that because these two are MFEO.
Overall: Eloisa James is at her best fixing marriages.
