Great Book!

I am a fan of Brenda Jackson, especially the Madaris series. This book was as good as the others with the romance and suspense. It also included characters from the other Madaris books. I would definitely recommend!

Love at first sight, but simmered to a "Slow Burning Fire"

Slow Burn" by Brenda Jackson continues the Madaris saga. Skye Barclay goes looking for younger brother, Vincent, who has been adopted by Justin and Lorren Madaris. When Skye visits the Madaris' home she meets Justin's cousin, Slade Madaris. For both, Skye and Slade, it is love at first sight. Sparks ignite and the fire starts to burn and keep on burning -- slowly until it erupts into a flaming blaze of hot passion.

Skye's life has not always been easy. Even though raised by adoptive parents and Skye had all the material things she needed or ever wanted, Skye felt there was something still missing. If not for her adoptive aunt and her adoptive father's boss and boss' wife, Skye would not have experienced the love she found when she visited the Madaris' home. There, Skye realized what was missing in her adoptive home -- it was love, a love that stems from the heart.

While visiting, Skye makes several other stunning discoveries when she finds her younger brother. She not only gains a brother, but she is also reunited with her paternal father and natural grandfather, who turned out to also be her adoptive father's boss. For Skye, love is overflowing, but the greatest love comes in the form of sexy Slade Madaris who is there for Skye when she first set foot in the Madaris' home. Skye's and Slade's love becomes a slow, burning fire that definitely erupts as time goes by.

BRENDA JACKSON FANS: THIS IS ONE OF THE "MADARIS" BOOKS. A MUST READ IF YOU HAVE READ THE OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES OR IF YOU HAVE READ ANY OF MS. JACKSON'S BOOKS. This book also reunites us with the Madaris clan -- Dex and Caitlin, Clayton and Syneda, Christy and Alex, and their families.

Not a slow burn

3.5 stars for this one. Good to that the Madaris family are here again, I did enjoy the original series even tho I thought the friends stories were better than the ones about the family. However this family book about Slade Madaris is an ok read. Yes its corny in places (the conversation between Skye and Slade sounds old) and almost unrealistic (the romance from introduction to marriage proposal takes place in a few months - nothing slow about that!) but has enough romance and suspense to keep it interesting. There is a secondary romance about an older couple that IMO deserved their own story. Ms Jackson is almost back on form with this book, so look foward to reading about the other family members and friends and hope Syneda's dad finds true love again.

Slow Burn

Skye Barclay recently discovered she was adopted and she has a sixteen-year-old brother named Vincent living in Texas. She arrives at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Justin Madaris, Vincent's adoptive parents, hoping to meet him, and the door is answered by Slade Madaris. The attraction between them is immediate and intense but Skye just wants to get to know her brother, if he's willing to get to know her.

Skye's parents and her ex-fiancée Wayne Bigelow are very opposed to Skye finding out about her biological family. If Wayne doesn't stop her, he risks losing more than Skye as his wife. His future is at stake and he can't let anyone get his way.

Slow Burn is a romantic and sensual story with a bit of suspense. The Madaris family is a close-knit, loving group of people. Slade is sexy and Skye is very sweet. Slow Burn is a nice story filled with many wonderful characters.

Everything in accountant Skye Barclay?s life is fitting smoothly into place until she makes the startling discovery that she was adopted. Not only does she learn that her birth mother has died, but now Skye finds out that she has a biological brother: Vincent. Skye wants to track him down, and her parents, as well as her fiance, Wayne refuse to support or accept her decision. And Wayne takes it a step further and abruptly ends their engagement.

Skye?s search for Vincent leads her to his adoptive parents, Dr. Justin and Lorren Madaris, and, lo and behold, Slade Madaris?Vincent?s tall, dark, and sexy cousin. Slade is by far the most compelling man Skye has ever met, but she isn?t ready to get involved so soon after Wayne's rejection?not even when Slade offers her a job so she can stay in town and get to know her brother better.
Slade is a shrewd businessman, but hiring Skye is one of the riskiest moves he?s ever made. Soon their mutual attraction explodes into a steamy summer affair. When Wayne shows up in town, determined to win Skye back, Slade sets out to prove that he and Skye are meant to be together. Because a Madaris man never walks away from a challenge?especially when true love is on the line?
