Lotus is fierce, beautiful, and she isn’t looking for love – with Kenan, or any other man – and she’s spent the last two books dodging Kenan despite the spark of attraction between them.
Kenan, a veteran basketball player traded to August West’s losing NBA franchise team, meets Lotus DuPree, cousin and best friend to August’s wife, Iris. The last novel in the Hoops series stars Kenan Ross and Lotus DuPree. If Mariana Zapata is the Queen of the Slow Burn, Gregory Ashe is the King of it. We didn’t review all the books in his Hazard and Somerset series (although Em blogged about the series HERE, and Caz reviewed book three, Paternity Case) but the romance is a very slow burn. The works of Gregory Ashe: It’s pretty much a given in all his books that there will be lots of UST and angst before the MCs get together. Hibbert lovingly crafts these wonderful, small, intimate moments between the leads, and when they finally get around to taking off their clothes, well, it’s a wonderfully satisfying relief.” That’s the perfect definition of a slow burn!
Of her Work For It, our reviewer says, “Ms. The works of Talia Hibbert: Her books often star characters with past relationship issue which make them move tantalizingly slowly towards their HEAs. The works of Penny Reid: A large number of her books, especially in the Winston Brothers series, fit this trope, and have been well reviewed here. The works of Mariana Zapata: Sometimes called “the queen of the slow burn,” because nearly all of her books use this trope, Zapata came to our attention when you voted the slow-burn The Wall of Winnipeg and Meinto our most recent Top 100 Romance Novels. The blurbs here come from our very own reviews (and every book I featured here is a DIK!)Ī lot of well-known favorites fall into this category, such as: How “slow” is slow enough and how much you want your “burn” to burn is a matter of taste, so not all of the books listed here will culminate at the same heat level. That’s why I love and developed our Slow burn tag, which I used to make this list of top slow burn romance novels. In romance, this is the slow burn phase, where the energy of characters’ attraction builds up and up before being released.
As someone whose path to reading romance included a lengthy period reading X-Files fanfiction (oh, man, who else remembers The Gossamer Project?), I am clearly a huge fan of UST – Unresolved Sexual Tension.
