Review: Brilliant Finish To the Star Harbour Series
Rating: 5 out of 5

I have pretty much read in succession the four Star Harbour novels, and I have loved them all. I am not going to forget the Grayson brothers in a hurry, and I hope that Elizabeth Barrett finds a way to take us all back for regular visits as the setting, characters and trials and tribulations of this family have had me hooked from the beginning.I loved Seb & Lexie in Deep Autumn Heat (book 1), Theo and Avery in Blaze Of Winter (book 2), I have to say my favourites are Cole and Julie in Long Simmering Spring (book 3), but I think Val and Cam's book Slow Summer Burn, highlights exactly how talented Ms. Barrett is.This book really does burn, the heat between Cam and Seb almost ignites the pages from the get-go, and there was no messing around, they were hot and heavy from pretty much the beginning of the book. Elizabeth Barrett has written some scorching sex scenes through this series, and although you get the full visualisation of what's going on they are written so beautifully, with a fluid and descriptive prose that draws you in, she does not have to resort to the more base descriptive words that are used in a lot of today's fiction, not that that bothers me, but I just find that the lack of its use in these books really did highlight moment, and the authors talented writing skills.This book also delivers the climax to the suspenseful drug running sub-plot that has threaded it's way through all four books, I must say it kept me reading well into the night just to see the villain get their just desserts, and it just pulled everything wonderfully together to produce an exciting, engrossing end to a wonderful series.I cannot recommend this book and the whole Star Harbour series highly enough, I have loved having the opportunity to read and review them all, through ARC's supplied by Netgalley. Although that's not completely true, I bought Long Simmering Spring as it wasn't available as an ARC, and I just couldn't bear to not read the series in the order it was written. I hope these get published in hard copy at some point as I would love to have the Grayson brothers on my bookshelf at home.
