Elisabeth Barrett wraps up her Star Harbor Series with a sizzling sensation! The only thing wrong with this book is the fact that we have to say goodbye to the wonderful characters that inhabit this delightful town.For those of you who missed my previous reviews of this delightful series can read them HERE. Beginning in the Autumn four brothers face the seasons in the town they call home. Summer's here and now it's time for the oldest brother to find a lasting love. In Slow Summer Burn we get to watch the mighty fall.Val Grayson, the biggest and the baddest of the Grayson brothers has watched all three of his younger brothers find the right woman. For the first time since his father died, Val is undecided on which direction his life should take. He has spent what seems like a lifetime caring for his brothers and now new choices must be made and as soon as he wraps up his latest assignment with the DEA, he may just take the time to figure it out. But first...Cameron Stahl was born with the proverbial spoon and yet she finds she doesn't enjoy the taste. Managing to escape her oh so proper family and own, manage and run two successful boutiques takes skill and energy. But lately it seems her energy is running low and time spent with her family is draining her. It seems the only place she feels comfortable is in Star Harbor and the friends she has made there. Add the oh so sexy and elusive Val Grayson to the mix and honestly why would she ever want to leave?Because of her family connections Cameron and Val team up to investigate a new drug and it's connection to Boston's political elite. Watching two control freaks fall in love is as always fun. Having to learn not only to let go of control, not only to rely on someone else but to allow them to shine is never easy. And yet Val and Cameron learn how to do just that.All the characters from previous books make appearances and show the reader just how a true small town can connect. From finishing Sebastian' s resteraunt, or figuring out just what those mystery keys go to, or even catching the bad guys there is no escaping your neighbors. Which is a huge part of the charm in this series.Saying goodbye is going to be tough...good thing I can always find them in the books!A great book and a wonderful series I suggest you all give them a read.ShauniThis review is based on the ARC of Slow Summer Burn, provided by netgalley
