Also, I don't remember the sex scenes in Stripped being quite as intense or frequent.
The e-book of this seemed to have a lot of typos, which was a little irritating, but I find I just mentally correct it and move on.

WHOOOO, this was SEXY. It definitely straddles the line between romance and straight up erotica, which I think Robert's does very well. There's enoughWHOOOO, this was SEXY. It definitely straddles the line between romance and straight up erotica, which I think Robert's does very well. There's enough story to keep me engaged between sexy bits, which were so hot. I loved this absolutely not-Disney approved riff on the Little Mermaid, and I"m always thrilled to see throuples as the end game. I think the only thing that would have made this better for me would have been if they had actually be mer-people. ...more

YES. I LOVED THIS. I loved seeing all my beloved Love Actually characters with a Latinx twist getting the endings they all deserved. I loved the way tYES. I LOVED THIS. I loved seeing all my beloved Love Actually characters with a Latinx twist getting the endings they all deserved. I loved the way these authors took even the most problematic stories from the movie and made them wonderful and charming and totally lovely.
Some of the stories in here are quite chaste and sweet, but most of them are S P I C Y. There are multiple queer and/or non-monogamous romances, which is wonderful, and I would love to see more of in general.
This was a perfect holiday read, and it's definitely going to be one I recommend a lot. ...more

It's sweet and beautiful and EXTREMELY romantic. I loved it. I love these characters. I love that Patience is fat and looks fat and her body moves the way a fat body does, like my breath caught when she was drawn laying on her back with her boobs spreading out towards her armpits, and I loved it.
Descriptions call it "erotic" but only because the sex scenes are illustrated; there's nothing racier here than a standard steamy historical romance. ...more
