Kick-ass Characters
- Small Change by Roan Parrish - Heroine Ginger is not good at letting people get close, and it's lovely to see a spiky heroine and the hero who loves her.
- The Lawrence Browne Affair by Cat Sebastian - the way the heroes were kind, caring and thoughtful to each other was absolutely my catnip.
