I loved getting to read this ARC. Slow Dance was one of those books that as soon as I started I could not put it down until I finished it. I was immediately sucked into Shiloh and Cary's world and I just wanted to keep reading to learn more about them. I don't typically like books that do flashbacks or time jumps this frequently, but in this case I did like getting to see glimmers of their relationship then compared to now. The last 10-15% of the book did go by really fast details wise compared to the others and I would have loved more detail but I do think it added to the slow burn feeling that once things were out in the open between them it just sped right up.
