    I'd rate the first two single-female-lead books at most a 7 out of 10. The first book's overall plot was okay, but the content jumped around a bit and seemed disjointed. The author was funny, making the ambiguous relationship between the female supporting character and the male lead vivid and engaging, while the interactions between the male and female leads were rather bland. The second book had too many female supporting characters, and the male lead didn't know his limits and preferred pure, single-female-lead characters. Skip the first two.
