Review: Slow Burn by Julie Garwood.

Hero: Dylan Buchanan
Heroine: Kate Mackenna

An unpretentious beauty who rediates kindness, kate MacKenna doesn’t have a bad bone in her body–or an enemy in the world. So why are bombs igniting everywhere she goes? The first explosion brings her face-to-face with a handsome Charleston police detective. The second one sends her into the arms of her best friend’s brother–a Boston cop who’s a little too reckless and way too charming for cmofort. But Dylan Buchanan won’t let emotion prevent from doing his job: Someone is trying to kill Kate, and Dylan is the only one standing between her and the monster who wants her dead.

I finished this book in one sitting. So I guess it was good. LOL.

I’m still kind of unsure how I feel about this book because I read it so fast but I do love some Dylan Buchanan…man that man is frickin’ sexy as all get out but I think his brother, Alec still has him beat as my favorite Buchanan, which surprises me since I love heroes who are big time flirts and trust me when I say, Dylan knows how to flirt.

So Kate, who doesn’t have any enemies that she knows of can’t seem to go anywhere without someone trying to blow her up, the first one could have been a fluke but not the second one. The second one, she was the only person around so it was more than a little evident that whoever is blowing things up is trying to blow HER up. That’s when her best friend, Jordan Buchanan sends her brother, Dylan who just got shot in the line of duty (he’s a cop) and is recuperating to Charleston to find out what’s going on. Dylan is sweet on Kate so with little persuasion, he goes…even though he’s miffed with her after the way she leaves Boston without a word to him.

I thought as a couple, Kate and Dylan were great. The chemistry between these two leaped right off the pages and I laughed whenever Dylan would back Kate into a corner or a counter and fluster her. I love reading about things like that and Dylan did a great job landing Kate because she was so lost without him. It was great!

This book is pretty fast paced, the flow was on point and Julie Garwood does a great job writing this one. You could tell that there was a great deal of love between the two and while the end was a bit rushed, it didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the book.

If you read the rest of the series, I don’t think you’d be disappointed in this book, it wasn’t spectacular but it was still nice. It’s no Killjoy that’s for sure, but on the flipside, it’s no Ransom either.

But still it’s good.

Oh wait, what I loved most about this book is Dylan’s nickname for Kate. How cute was that? And how unique…when he tells her that he loves pickles, Awwwww….I love it and I love him!
