That's it, Mell R. Bright is now on my auto-buy list. I like that her books have a decent worldbuilding that makes sense, and that there is no need for infodumping. I like that her books are plot-driven, not just a heap of tropes; I just can't put them down. But what I like the most is that her romances are not superficial: the feelings are messy, she explores different kinds of love, different kinds of relationships (not all of them romantic, not all of them healthy), and her characters, for all of their flaws, feel real.

And it's fun. And hot.
