Synopsis:
One Night. That’s all it was supposed to be.
Reeling from the sudden loss of her sister, Haddie Montgomery has sworn off relationships. All she wanted from Beckett Daniels was a sexy distraction to help her escape her pain for just a little while….There weren’t supposed to be any strings attached—so why can’t she shake the memory of that unforgettable night from her thoughts? Or the taste of his kiss from her lips?
No matter how hard Haddie tries to forget about him, Becks relentlessly tries to prove that she should start living for today. But she is determined to avoid romantic commitment, and she can always use her ex-boyfriend’s reappearance to help snuff out the slow burn within her that Becks has sparked….
Or will fate force her to realize that this kind of connection doesn’t come along very often and a chance at love is worth the risk?
My Review:
5 Time-Is-Precious-Stars!!
I have a confession to make: I read this book months ago and have simmered over what I could possibly write that would do justice to this unexpected, sexy, warm-hearted and funny story. Slow Burn was nothing that I expected from Ms. Bromberg, and it totally took me by surprise and blew me away!!
Ah, Becks and Haddie. If you think you know them from the Driven Trilogy, you will see them in a whole new light in Slow Burn. With that being said, this book can absolutely be read and enjoyed as a standalone. Becks and Haddie had one night together and he knows in his heart that he won’t be able to stay away from Haddie, even though she presents a tough-as-nails exterior to the world. He sees the real her. I read this book literally on the edge of my seat and I have never appreciated Ms. Bromberg’s brand of humor more!
Favorite quotes:
“Time is precious. Waste it wisely.”
“I just figured you were having some regression pussy.”
“Whenever I don’t want to deal…, I go and have meaningless sex to not think about it. ‘Slut glut, I believe is my term for it.”
“Slow burn, my ass. More like fire in the goddamn hole.”
“Goddmann estrogen vortex.”
Slow Burn will make you laugh, cry and SWOON. It’s a must-read and is destined to become yet another beloved contemporary romance from K. Bromberg.
