Slow Burn

De: E. B. Walters

Narrado por: Nina Naughton

She doesn't want to deal with the past... Ten years ago, Ashley Fitzgerald witnessed the death of her parents in a tragic fire and her mind blocked the memory. She pretends to have moved on, is a successful artist and photographer, until she opens her door to a stranger, assumes he's a model and asks him to strip to his briefs. He plans to expose the truth... Wealthy businessman Ron Noble has the body, the jet, the fast cars and the women, but he hides a deadly secret.

His father started the fire that killed Ashley's parents. Now someone is leaving him clues that could exonerate his father and they lead to Ashley's door. Blindsided by the blazing attraction between them and a merciless killer silencing anyone who was there the night of the fire, Ron can't dare tell Ashley the truth. Yet the answer he seeks may very well tear them apart. While a demented arsonist plots his ultimate revenge...

She does an amazing job bringing the character to life>

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes i would have love to listen in one sitting but unfortunately I had to work.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this book to everyone. I loved every minute I devoted to the book. The characters were superb and the narrator did an amazing job bringing each and everyone of the characters to life.

Exciting and thrilling...

Slow Burn by E B Walters (book 1)... This is my very first read by this author. I have to say , this audio-book grabbed my attention right away. I loved it. It is thrilling and exciting and sexy as all get go. Poor Ashley had been thru so much in her lifetime, she really deserved a break! I had high hopes for Ron ever since Ashley had mistaken him to be a model. This book is very well written and I look forward to book 2.

The author, E B Walters does a fantastic job on the plot! The story as a whole has an incredible story-line and much of this book had me at the edge of my seat (listening). The narrator, Nina Naughton did a wonderful delivery of this story with so many different voices and accents. I could fell the fear among many other emotions. It was like listening to a movie! The fire... All I could think was deja vu!

*** I won this audio book as a gift in a rafflecopter drawing. ***

Another TSTL female gets her man...

Look chickie, if people around you are getting beaten up and worse, and the cops offer to keep an eye on you for your safety, and a fabulously wealthy and gorgeous man who OWNS A SECURITY COMPANY wants to protect you, and your response is to tell the cops, "NO, no gizmos or gadgets. No unmarked cars," YOU ARE TOO STUPID TO LIVE!!!! Then, agree to "allow" the cops to watch over you IF they will keep that gorgeous hunk of man cake away from you (for his own good, so he doesn't get hurt, ya know). This is the point where I begin to agree with the bad guys who think the world would be a better place without you in it and to pity the great guy who will no doubt end up wanting to kill you in the future after you have ruined his life. I am so tired of the dumb chick stereotype.

Dear authors: Was there a memo that went out indicating that men equate stupid with sexy or that women relate to very stupid female characters? If so, I'm thinking that memo was sent on April 1st. Please disregard it.

Since I'm on a roll, the narrator is not great. Her voice is OK, but she reads like she's explaining something very simple to a small child. She also, unfortunately, mispronounces common words. My "favorite" was, "I'm not an in-VAL-id," (As in invalid driver's license, as opposed to IN-vuh-lid, a person who is not able to care for himself.) Sigh I'm not sure why these things get recorded. Is there no one monitoring the recording? Hellooooooo, "We need you to go back and start that paragraph again. This time, pronounce the word as IN-vuh-lid." C'mon! If a guitarist is recording a solo and hits a clinker, someone tells him to do it again. 1+1=2.

Oh, one more thing, there are a couple of paragraphs in which the author uses "his buttock cheek" to describe hot guy's ass during sex. Once would be funny. After the third or fourth use, I almost cried laughing, so there is some entertainment value there.

I agree with other reviewers that there were good parts, and it had potential but just fell flat. With a little rewrite/editing to add a few brain cells to the heroine and a more experienced narrator and/or some help in the studio, it actually could've been good.

Story good - reader wasn't

The story was ok, but the reader ruined my experience. She "read" the material rather than performed it.

This is a straight forward 'who dunnit' with a romantic story line. The story is not particularly original, but probably better than it seemed with the poor reader

Excellent romance, with extra drama, lots of drama!!! A MUST READ...

E.B. Walters is one of my favorite author's. I believe this was the first "romance novel" I have read. Her detailed information about the characters, especially their features makes it come alive! I could picture many of the people in my mind. She is (Walters) is so talented, I hope she will continue to write romance novels!
Really a page burner, actually tried to listen one night (but I fall asleep) But NOT This one, finally had to stop at 5AM!! Love the way she wove in all the characters, and
buildings like Carlyle House. What a character Nina was sounded like my ex mother in law!
Definitely a good read.
