When you read a lot of romance novels (like I do) you come to expect that the romance will be sizzling from page one, hit the characters like a brick to the head, and knock them (and their lives) silly. This book doesn’t necessarily follow that formula. The intensity that I usually see isn’t there in the beginning. But that doesn’t make it a bad story. Nor does it mean it’s lacking. When I skimmed the other reviews, I saw the words “slow burn” mentioned time and again. I would agree with that expression. It is fitting. Slow. And burn. Both. The heat and tension are there. And it was enough to keep me turning the pages. It’s just not that completely unrealistic nuclear explosion we’ve all become so accustomed to reading in our novels.Terry, the heroine, is a delightful character. She’s spunky and faces challenges with a great attitude. Liam was intriguing and alpha. A perfect match for Terry. The writing is clean and well edited. Some of the descriptions were absolutely gorgeous. I loved that this story was set in an area of the world that is different and interesting. In summary, there is so much to love about this book. It is well deserving of all five stars.
