Let's talk dirty books
Heat Factor: Mostly in flashbacks and implied by nerdy song lyrics
Character Chemistry: They don’t interact all that much
Plot: She-Hulk’s mild-mannered alter-ego keeps a diary about her love life, or lack thereof
Overall: A fun read, but not really a good romance
The Angel Eyes Series, Prequel
Heat Factor: Let’s fix your sexual trauma by having sex!
Character Chemistry: She literally owns him.
Plot: There’s a lot going on, and also kind of nothing at all.
Overall: Unfortunately, this book committed the cardinal sin of being not that fun.
Heat Factor: Approximately 50% sex
Character Chemistry: Not bad, especially considering that one of them is a sexy robot
Plot: Scientist takes her latest creation out for a test drive
Overall: Sometimes, you just want to fantasize about a perfect man who doesn’t have his own emotions
Cat Star Legacy, Book 2
Heat Factor: The hero is LITERALLY a sex cat
Character Chemistry: Destined to be together because of pheromones
Plot: A comic space adventure to stop xenocide
Overall: Hero is A+. Heroine and plot are meh.
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.
