Erin

Unwritten Rules, Book #3

Reviews of Unwritten Rules Book #1 and Book #2

Heat Factor: If you’re looking for characters with ED due to medication with partners who are with them 100%, I have a book for you

Character Chemistry: Every time they were gutted, I was also completely gutted

Plot: Jake and Alex had a whirlwind rookie season, glued to each other, until it all crashed and burned. Ten years later, they’re forced back together on their old team for a last chance to win a championship ring.

Overall: I felt like Eeyore until the end, when I had all the warm fuzzies.

Review: Will & Patrick Wake Up Married by Leta Blake and Alice Griffiths (2015-2016)

Erin

Heat Factor: After a very sexy night in Vegas, it takes a couple episodes before they get busy again, but when they do, it gets kinky

Character Chemistry: I’m a sucker for “the grumpy jerk is secretly soft for the vulnerable sweetheart”

Plot: Will and Patrick wake up married, and they can’t just be unmarried because Will’s charitable trust is financed by his mob family who requires that the scions marry for love and forever

Overall: It’s a long ‘un, but I didn’t want to stop reading.

Character Chemistry: Stella and Luca have been in love for NINE YEARS but refuse to a) admit it and b) do anything about it

Plot: Thirty-year-old woman is incompetent at both entrepreneurship and love, figures out how to do both during the course of this book

Overall: I was not a great audience for this book, but there are many people who will totally love it

Review: Would You Rather by Allison Ashley (2022)

Erin

Heat Factor: They get hot and heavy (and naked) and then it fades to black

Character Chemistry: I recommend therapy. Probably separately and together. 

Plot: Mia and Noah have been best friends secretly pining forever, but when she has to choose between leaving her job to pursue her dream or staying to keep her insurance, Noah solves the problem by proposing a marriage of convenience

Overall: I cannot describe the level of rage I felt every time the “we’re committing insurance fraud” plotline came up

Review: The Larks Still Bravely Singing by Aster Glenn Gray (2021)

Erin

Heat Factor: Gentle, encouraging, exploratory, emotional

Character Chemistry: They have big hug energy to offer each other, even though they both think they shouldn’t ask for it themselves

Plot: Boarding school besties Robert and David both come out of WWI with scars both physical and mental, and find their way back to themselves with each other

Overall: My heart is so full and so wrecked
