Slow Burn: The Fitzgerald Family by E. B. Walters
4.0
I had this book in my library for a long time. I bought it when I started reading Ednah's YA books (Runes and Guardians series), why I haven't read it sooner? No idea. There was always another book that got my attention.
I have to admit: the first 50ish pages didn't really sell the book to me. I struggled to get the feeling of the book, but as I am a stubborn person and just hate leaving books half read (even at school I was reading all of them, when they were boring LOL). I stuck with it and I am glad that I did. The book is interested, we have 2 main characters: an artist that had a tragic accident when she was 15 and lost two most important people in her life and a sexy playboy, who's father was involved in the accident 10 years ago.
Ashley, the main female protagonist is an artist who paints erotic acts (sexy as hell straight away!), who doesn't remember what happened 10 years ago when her parents tried to purchase property, Calyle Mansion. She wants to buy it and hopefully put the past where it belongs: in the past. But then she meets, Ronald Noble. Sexy, flirtatious rich man, who wants to reveal the truth behind the accident, where as rumours say, his father was responsible for. He is trying to get close to Ashley and make her remember this traumatic event, even if he will have to seduce her. But what they both haven't thought about are lust and passion they feel straight away.
The characters are well developed, but I have to admit I didn't like that the bad guys are revealed so early. I was expecting more intrigue there and more gasping moments.
The book is not the best from the author, but I will read the rest of the series as they seem to be interesting.
Strong 4 stars as for me.
