Review: Another winner!
Rating: 5 out of 5

After reading the first two offerings in this series and knowing there would be a total of six, I decided to treat it like a six-part mini-series on TV (which is a pretty damn good idea **hint hint to all you producers**). So, with more patience than I thought I possessed, I’ve held off devouring the first five in one sitting. I just finished this episode and I must say, Ms Perez has surely tested that patience I mentioned. There ain’t nothing like the need for a little TLC and this author establishes that need with a bit of misunderstanding between Patrick and one of his best friends. In true Perez (and classic cliffhanger) fashion, this episode ends on a questioning note. Will Chloe….well, you can figure out the questions when you read ‘Slow Burn.’Ms Perez writes crisp and clean prose. She doesn’t tell us who Chloe and Patrick are. She lets her characters reveal themselves a little bit at a time, just like people do in real life. And there you have the beauty of her writing. This story could (and most likely does) play itself out in cities all over the world every day.
