Trope
Long, Tall Texans, Book #1
Heat Factor: There’s a little topless fooling around but no (extremely euphemistic) orgasms until wedding bands are exchanged
Character Chemistry: If I’m using my lizard brain, it’s awesome, but if I’m using my emotionally mature brain I have concerns
Plot: “How best can I manufacture drama to ensure that my hopeless, loveless vision for the future will actually come to pass?”
Overall: OMG this book is SO 80s and I love it
Heirs Club of Scoundrels, Book 1
Heat Factor: Moderately coercive
Character Chemistry: Loathing each other, longing for each other
Plot: Dissolute Duke makes a vow to marry a dying man’s sister

Scottish Hearts Series, Book 1
Heat Factor: There is sex.
Character Chemistry: Please, tell me again how you don’t want to be attracted to each other.
Plot: Let’s put everything we can into one story.
Overall: Slather it on with a spatula. The big sort for icing sheet cakes.
