TL;DR: Quick and easy, mostly smut with little story.
Source: NetGalley, thank so much to the publisher!
Plot: The plots on both of these are basically people just finding the time and self worth for love, filled with a ton of smut.
Characters: I can’t give you many details on these guys, they felt very similar.
Setting: One of these was set on a vacation island and the other just around town – they felt about the same.
Romance: I can’t say I totally bought it? But I enjoyed seeing the characters fall in love/admit their love.
Thoughts:
It’s been a few days since I finished Forbidden Games by Katee Robert and honestly I can’t tell you a lot of details on this one already. This is a bind of two of Katee’s earlier works that I believe were part of the Harlequin Dare line. They’re fast reads, making this bind-up a very fast read, and they’re fun though seemingly forgettable.
One story follows a woman who is seeking help finding a husband and help becoming better in the bedroom. She turns to an old friend, the one who broke up her and her ex, revealing his cheating to her. The second story follows another friend of our first pair as he attempts to buy a gym from a woman who wants nothing to do with him. He follows her to a tropical island vacation and they hit it off.
These go exactly how you might expect. Katee Robert’s characters are always fairly mature and open which is refreshing, but it’s definitely more smut forward than story. So while I enjoyed the characters and their journeys, I do wish there was more but I also recognize that’s just not the goal on these. It’s a fun fast read and if you like Katee you’ll likely enjoy this collection.
