GRR Reviews The Doctor's Fake Marriage: A Single Dad by Amy Brent

The Doctor's Fake Marriage featured an unethical setup: a doctor taking advantage of a patient randy on hormones. The rest of the book is a little better, but not by much.

Playboy doc wanted the volunteer subject in his bed. When she's randy with a hormonal implant contraceptive (volunteered for it too), he nudged her into his bed. When they got caught, he had to marry her to keep his medical license. It'll be merely a marriage of convenience. In the meanwhile, she'll live at his place... and take care of his daughter (he's a widower and single parent) with help of a babysitter. But can there be real feelings there?

The premise is unethical as heck. It's practically... the four-letter r-word, as she's not capable of rational decisions at that time. I honestly don't know what's so romantic about that. The rest of it is average.

GRR Reviews Filthy SEAL by Amy Brent

Filthy SEAL is a contemporary erotic romance that actually managed to include a proper subplot romantic suspense that were almost blended into the background amidst raunchy sex. The attempt to inflate page count by including a ton of "bonus content" did not endear me to the author and actually dragged down the overall rating.

To recap just the main story... Ex-SEAL (now a 'contractor') was pulled home from the Middle East: his estranged wife died in a car crash leaving him a widower and a single father. His next door neighbor is a single mom raising a 19-year old sexpot named Lolita. Care to guess what happens next?

Despite the raunchy sex, which happened plenty of times, there really is a mystery as the death of the wife was NOT an accident, and it will take the guy a bit of investigating (and sexing up you-know-who) to figure it all out. The main story was actually 4/5 but the sex can be tuned down a notch, IMHO. But all the "bonus content" diluted the rating forcing me to drop it back to 3/5.
