GRR Reviews Red Hot Stakes by Mia Madison

Gabby likes Luke's kids, enough for them to invite her to their birthday party. But when the twins flat out asked their father to marry her at the party, things got very very awkward. But when Gabby saved one of Luke's kids from drowning at the lake, Luke decided perhaps he can get to know Gabby a little better... Gabby is younger (by about 10 years), never married, but can cook and more. Finding Gabby to be under-employed, Luke was glad to offer her a job as a combination nanny / cook / personal assistant position. He really does need an assistant to help him research his next book. There shouldn't be any more, but Luke may be amenable to change his mind...

I like the push-pull, but I'm not sure about the kink aspects as that felt very... tacked on. And the darkest hour felt very... forced (basically, Gabby had to go to PTA meeting in Luke's place, heard some bad news, brought it home, and Luke decided to "shoot the messenger").

GRR Reviews Late Night Confessions by Mia Madison

Maya is a 22-year-old virgin, chatting anonymously on a "confessions" chat board. When she admitted she's a virgin, and she planned to lose her v-card the next day with her best friend (but a mere friend with benefits, not in love), she got a ton of solicitations... Except one from an older man that caught her eye... He did not sext her, but rather, discussed sex and love. She found the chat with him stimulating, and not believing he's real, he ended up sending her his picture. It was a few days later that she found out, to her horror, that her chat buddy is her new academic advisor in the university... and she had to stay away. But the most they get to know each other, the more they want to taste the forbidden fruit...

Not bad, no obvious stupidities, proper online etiquette and follow-up. The school stuff about zero fraternization ended up as the darkest hour, but then, what's what taboo  student-teacher relationships usually end up as. Not bad.
