Slow Burn Summer definitely delivers on the slow - this was a sweet but snail-paced love story. It was a lot of half-starts and so the burn was constantly doused by inaction or avoidance of the romantic interests in favor of preserving the work relationship and contract responsibilities. It was an enjoyable read and I sort of enjoyed the languid storytelling that veered off on various tangents. I went into this book expecting this so it felt sweet and not dull.
This book lacked some of the fire between the characters that I have loved in her past books - I don't mind a slow burn but I still want the fire at some point and this one was only slightly firey!
