Lädt ... Slow Burnvon Anne Marsh
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  Lauren2013 | May 24, 2018 |   Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Member Giveaways geschrieben. This is my first review on LibraryThing.When I found out I was getting an ARC of Slow Burn thru Member's Giveaway I decided to read the first book in the series "Burning Up' too. This series is based around three very close foster brothers who grew up in the California mountain town of Strong, and after stints as Marines are back as firefighter/smoke jumpers. After reading this second book in the series I don't think it's strictly necessary to read them in order, but it does add to the experience (so I'll look forward to the third book too. Slow Burn is about Evan and Faye. Faye is a photojournalist who comes to Strong to do a story on the old firehouse that is being restored. But her story is complicated by a suspected arsonist. Neither Evan nor Faye is really looking for a relationship, but there is a strong attraction. Overall it was a very enjoyable read that had my requirement of a romance with an HEA, enjoyable characters, and this had the added mystery and suspense of the search for the arsonist. The only thing I missed was that with an ARC I got a plain cover so didn't get the lovely picture of Evan to look at. (  ) DianeSallans | Mar 19, 2013 | Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Member Giveaways geschrieben. I won an ARC of this from a Member's giveaway here on LibraryThing.Slow Burn is a solidly written romance. The first few pages had me wondering just who Faye's love interest was, but by the end of the first chapter, it was pretty obvious that Evan was going to be her man. I don't mind that obviousness especially in romance. I like to know who I'm going to root for. The chemistry between Faye and Evan was hot, and Marsh doesn't disappoint in the 'action' part of the romance. While their hook up happens happens fairly fast considering the story takes place over a short period, there was still a build up to it. The best thing about the story was that there was no pouting by Faye when discovers the secret Evan has been hiding. Not that she isn't pissed, but she reacts in a mature way that had me respecting her. Slow Burn definitely makes me want to check out more from Marsh!

Faye Duncan arrives in Strong, California for a photographic spread on the renovation of the historical firehouse. Her assignment takes an interesting turn, however, when she inadvertently photographs a suspected arsonist. Smoke Jumper Evan Donovan, a big man of few words, reluctantly agrees to look out for a former Marine buddy’s ex-wife, but soon comes to realize that Faye means a great deal more to him that a favor to a friend.
Evan is one of my favorite hero types - strong, silent and sexy - and his romance with Faye is sweet and steamy. Unfortunately, the rest of the story fails to live up to its potential.
Marsh’s descriptions of the fire fighting scenes are tediously repetitive and the suspense plot surrounding the arsonist is underdeveloped and lacking in tension. The villain, if one can call him that, is a pathetic loser who never poses a real threat to anyone.
I have the third book in the series and will probably read it sometime, but it isn’t a priority. (
