Crystal Reed – author, librarian, and stripper – is at the end of a long tour promoting her new book when she encounters one of the sexiest men she’s ever met. Garrett Vartan isn’t your typical radio talk show host, and he’s completely captivated by Crystal. They circle each other a bit warily, and soon find themselves involved.

Secrets, surprises and sex...Slow Burn takes readers on a spicy ride through one couple’s dating dance. Crystal is a drop-dead gorgeous, talented woman with an interesting side job. She’s oddly vulnerable and lacks self-confidence, despite her looks. When she becomes intimate with Garrett and begins to trust him, will it be enough when she finds herself betrayed?

Madison Chase pens a sweet and hot story about two beautiful people struggling to find someone to call their own. With a few interesting plot twists, Ms. Chase takes this erotic romance from predictable to unique, and I much enjoyed this short novel. Slow Burn is action-packed from the beginning, and the whirlwind courtship between Crystal and Garrett is fun to watch. If you’re looking for a book about the redemptive power of love and the sometimes-rocky path you travel getting there, Slow Burn is for you. Four Angels!
