My Review:
I was hooked from page one! Both characters had me engrossed in their lives right from the beginning. I couldn’t help at times, with my connection to them, thinking that too much was left out, that there was too much mystery. But, I guess that is what kept me reading furiously. On the flip side of that, I pretty much knew early on who did it. Yet, absolutely none of this mattered. I was so caught up in the story, the characters rich back stories – not to mention who they were in the present, and what I didn’t know about the mystery that the story Mrs. Walters wove together was absolutely wonderful.
The title Slow Burn was really appropriate to the plot premisie. Yet, at the same time, the sexual tension in this story was far from slow, but it did burn! The situations, the actions, the emotions new and old, tightened into a coil that twisted until it exploded. Even though the unique situation that brought these two together was nothing short of amazing, it was the erotic situations, the chemistry between Ashley and Ron that had me getting up in a dark room in the middle of the night to read more. Thank goodness for ereaders with night read so you don’t disturb your husband’s sleep! LOL
This story was definitely worth the read. Mrs. Walters has a new fan!
