Review: A GraveTells review: A fun sexy read with great chemistry and a man with a slow hand

Slow Hand doesn't waste any time diving into the attraction between the characters, and still gives the necessary backstory to make everything believable. The chemistry between Jared and Teri is instant and intense. One of the things I enjoyed most about this story was how creative the love scenes were... not in a 'wow, that's new' sort of way but that Jared doesn't rush into the "good part" like many stories do, and he fully enjoys Teri's body in ways many books don't take the time to explore in the quest for consummation.On the other hand, while definitely hot, there were a few things that bothered me about the love scenes. There's a lot of (what I think is) unnecessary talking. Some talking is good, ups the heat level, especially if it's in the right tone of voice and in the right circumstances, but too much takes me out of the scene. The sex language is also a little overly colorful, not quite purple prose but reminiscent of it. People's skin doesn't taste like candy or desserts (unless you rub something like that on it first) and there are some adjectives I just don't want to see in the middle of a sex scene, like 'turgid'.All that aside, this was a fun quick read with a lot of heart and one very patient and gentle pirate determined to sweep his woman off her expensive designer stilettos. Teri and Jared have such easy and comfortable chemistry, their playfulness is infectious and makes me want to charter a boat sailing the Caribbean right now!
