GRR Reviews The Fix by Sylvie Stewart

Laney is a single parent who's doing "okay". Scratch that. Her job is a snooze-fest. Her son's misbehaving. Her free-loading brother doesn't' seem to be moving out anytime soon. And the hottest guy she ever laid eyes on, Nate, is a total ***.  // Nate moved back home to help his mom take care of things at a single phone call, because that's what a responsible guy like him does. But it was a bit overwhelming. Seeing the sweetest woman watching him completely lose his **** was not his plan to making a great first impression. But he's definitely going to FIX the situation...

Part sit-com, part romance with some good setup situations, and once they finally got together, hot sex, you should like the setup that does NOT overtly rely on the typical male/female tropes. 4/5

GRR Reviews The Way You Are by Sylvie Stewart

Liv  has a hot baseball star boyfriend and gets season tickets. And he treats her... okay. Sex is hot, in a "caveman" kinda way. Though she knew he's not long-term material. After she almost got ejected from a game, and Brett came to her rescue, she found herself crushing on Brett... // Brett is a nice guy and nice guys often come in second, and third, and... got friend-zoned. Liv is a friend, but her douchebag boyfriend gets all possessive when Brett was near her. Sure, Brett may want more... and for once, maybe nice guys do finish first...

Some laugh-out-loud finny bits, but it seems the Asian issues (Liv's half Asian) are merely skin deep. OTOH, the triangle for a fight between an alpha and a beta guy was good and sometimes, beta guy wins. Good setup.
