Hero
Arcane Tales, Book #2
Heat Factor: Sex in the moonlight
Character Chemistry: I absolutely believed that they liked each other.
Plot: She wants to destroy his dad, but maybe he also kinda wants to destroy his dad?
Overall: The plot doesn’t always make sense, but I really enjoyed it anyways.
Advertisements for Love, Book #1
Heat Factor: Everything is very proper; the door is firmly closed.
Character Chemistry: Ewan is too obtuse to have chemistry with anyone.
Plot: Dueling flower farms + Widow must protect her child + First love back from the dead + Battles over an inheritance + Newspaper advertisements for a husband
Overall: I haven’t been this angry about a hero in a long time.
Fong Brothers, Book #2
Heat Factor: Lotsa handjobs and blowjobs, but we’re not without a penetration scene, too
Character Chemistry: My insides kept flip-flopping all over the place with these two
Plot: Cedric might be the one person who actually sees Brian. Brian finally finds some personal direction as he supports Cedric in achieving his goals.
Overall: I’m really hungry, but also I’m a heart eyes emoji
Heat Factor: I was expecting chick-lit level steam (so not much), and I was wrong
Character Chemistry: When it’s good, it’s good. When they’re struggling, I wanted to SCREAM.
Plot: She’s having a quarter life crisis. He’s a tortured soul. They’re both writers and neighbors on the lake in Michigan.
Overall: I am seriously not on board with January assuring Gus that she’ll stick through the messiness when Gus is scared to try a relationship and then immediately bailing in a meltdown when things get messy. Seriously. Not.
Heat Factor: I can neither confirm nor deny any on-page sex
Character Chemistry: So far, our heroine has spent pretty much all her time with her mother and sister, so there’s not really any chemistry to speak of.
Plot: Everyone decides to SHUN THIS FAMILY
Overall: DNF because the premise strained all credulity
