(...) story

Slow Burn is one of the few novels that I remember with fondness from my just beginning reading days. One of the first romance novels I ever read, the story of Marnie and Tate has stuck with me. Marnie is involved with Lance, Tate's son. Tate offers Marnie money to break it off with Lance. Marnie is angry, of course, even though she had had every intention of breaking it off because she did not feel the same way about Lance as Lance felt about her. Lance gets kidnapped, and Marnie sees the kidnapper's face, but cannot remember because of the trauma. Tate sets Marnie up at his ranch. The (...) tension begins building immediately and explodes into an inferno. The story is laced with Marnie's father being an Alzheimers patient, and the heartbreak Marnie feels because of this. In the end, Marnie remembers the man's face, though Lance escapes under his own steam. Tate then breaks it off with Marnie because he believes his son is in love with Marnie and that Marnie would be better off with a man younger than he, even if he will suffer to see his son and Marnie together. Marnie gets back together with Tate in the end because Lance tells his father that he is okay with Marnie and Tate's relationship. A wonderful book deserving five stars, you won't regret buying this one. A keeper for sure.
