My Review:
The Slow Burn
Masterson Texas #2
Caro Carson
From page one of The Slow Burn #2 in her Masterson
Texas installation, Caro Carson will have readers hooked with her likeable,
empathic, perfect imperfect friends to lovers couple, wanting to know where
Tana’s lack of confidence comes from and what makes Caden such a Teddy Bear.
Then she’ll reel readers in as she unpeels the complex layers of Tana and shows
that Caden is the, what you see is what you get, real deal and finally there’s
the adorable bundle of joy that puts the icing on the story cake. Her plot is
engaging, her situations are relatable, her costars are outstanding and in this
time of uncertainty we can all use a little dose of Happy Ever After.
As the director of aquatics at Masterson college, Montana
(Tana) McKenna is hoping for redemption for past mistakes by training new
Olympic swimming hopefuls, but instead calamity strikes when she learns she’s
pregnant and her boyfriend, like everyone else in her life seems to do, abandons
her. So when a sexy firefighter/paramedic wants to be her friend she’s not sure
she can trust him either but she could really use a friend so she’s willing to
take the chance.
Lieutenant Caden Sterling thought he met the woman of his
dreams until he discovered she’s pregnant, fortunately there’s no other man in
the picture and even though he’s been warned that he’s in for trouble going
down this path he’s happy to play the friend card until she’s ready to be his
forever love.
Love seeing one I enjoyed showcased and there are two more I want to get my hands on now. :)
