    Slade Maderis was visiting his cousin Dr. Justin Maderis and his wife Lorren when he meets Skye Barclay. They are immediately attracted to one another, but she is on a mission that takes precedence. Skye, from Augusta, Maine, recently learned that she was given up at birth for adoption and that she is the half-sister of Justin¿s son Vincent, who was also adopted when his parents died in a car crash. After telling them her bombshell, she explains she overheard her aunt pleading with her parents to tell her the truth as she was marrying Wayne Bigelow until he called off their engagement when he told her choose between him and Vincent thus her being in Texas brings joy to Slade¿s mind.------------ Whereas Skye wants to be in Vincent¿s life like the big sister she should have been, Slade knows she is his beloved life mate. He plans to marry her, but goes slow as to not spook her he even provides her a job while she becomes acquainted with Vincent. What he failed to calculate was her New England former fiancé coming to Texas to claim her or else cause problems like threatening Vincent. There is quite a lot of money at stake and the identity of the biological father remains an enigma.-------------- The latest Maderis family saga is a fantastic romantic suspense tale that grips the audience from the moment Skye informs Justin and Lorren who she is and never slows down until the final confrontation occurs. Readers will need to set aside time for a one sitting experience as Brenda Jackson enticingly reveals secrets that make for quite a thriller. The romance between the lead couple enhances the excellent SLOW BURN.------------- Harriet Klausner

    Sizzlin' As Always

    Okay, all I want to know is how can I marry into the Madaris Family?...LOL...What can I say Mrs. Jackson has done it again! 'Slow Burn' offers another thrilling rollercoaster ride with the Madaris'. The characters as always just leap off the pages. The storyline is intriguing as usual. The passion and desire between Slade and Skye definitely scorched each and every page. I love the way Mrs. Jackson always brings you up to speed with what's going on with all the rest of the family and their circle of friends. And you also get a secondary romance for the price of one. Now, this is a CLASSIC Brenda Jackson romance! I can hardly wait for the next Madaris novel. Congratulations and Kudos on this being your 50th novel Mrs. Jackson, and keep 'em coming! One error the description on the back of the book states that Skye Barclay is an attorney, but in the novel, she's an accountant...oops! Still, if you are a true Madaris fan, this is a DEFINITE MUST READ!

    The Madaris Family is never boring

    I was needing a Madaris fix and Slade & Skye sure obliged. Brenda you made us wait for a Madaris story and it was well worth it. I like how all the other family members are included in Brenda's story's. Keep them coming. I Hope Blade or Luke are next in line for a story.
