I received a complimentary e-copy of Slash & Burn (Volume 1) in exchange for an honest review.Liz Hamilton is a successful art gallery owner who is in the middle of a dryspell that she desperately wants to end. She's traumatized by an event from a few months ago and as much as she wants to have sex, everytime she comes close to actually doing the deed she freezes up and can't go through with it. The event? She witnessed the birth of her best friend's daughter and it was too much like the movie Aliens for Liz to ever want to risk something like that happening to her.By chance, she runs into Jackson, her ex-boyfriend from college who broke her heart when he walked out on her after discovering that she was a virgin. She's attracted to him, but still carries the pain he inflicted on her back then. Jackson may have walked away from her back in college, but this time he's determined to see her again and convinces her to have dinner with him. Will she be able to forgive him or will she be the one to walk away from him this time?I loved Liz. She's tough and feisty on the outside but only because that's because she needs to be to protect her heart because she never wants to hurt like she did from Burke. And the secondary characters were fun to get to know as well. I especially liked Lance, her gay assistant who always has her back!My only complaint is that Slash & Burn Volume 1 is too short. It ended on a high note (no spoilers) but now I'm sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what happens next with Liz!!! Luckily Kiss Slash Burn 2 is already out so I won't have to wait for long!
