Ace Security, Book #1
Heat Factor: It gets a little explicit
Character Chemistry: I hate them both
Plot: Rescue man saves demoralized, abused woman
Overall: I struggled so hard. But my eyeballs probably got their best ever workout with this book.
Hot and Hammered, Book 3
Review of Hot and Hammered, Book 2
Heat Factor: Hot and Hammered is a pretty accurate description
Character Chemistry: Teasing starts mean, eventually becomes good-natured
Plot: When Bethany walks off her job, Wes pulls a Zellweger and follows her. Plus Wes is trying to figure out how to parent his niece.
Overall: I loved the relationship, but I had qualms about some of the other stuff
Heat Factor: Holy arm porn, batman! Plus: 🍆🍆🍆
Character Chemistry: Checks every box
Plot: Hallmark Christmas Special, complete with twee alpine monarchy
Overall: I am cackling with glee
Eastside Brewery, Book #2
Heat Factor: It’s hot friends. SUPER hot.
Character Chemistry: Very much based on sexual chemistry
Plot: Eddie’s bad decisions impact his life all over the place, but he’s having some difficulty extracting himself from them
Overall: I enjoyed this much more for Eddie’s growth arc than for the romance
Chances Limited, Book 2
Heat Factor: Lots of foreplay, minimal penetration. Still steamy.
Character Chemistry: Elizabeth and Sidney treat each other really well and it’s very sweet.
Plot: For a book called “Trouble and Strife”, this novella was remarkably low-key. There was very little tension or conflict or drama.
Overall: I inhaled this book and wished it were longer.
