What’s a Slow Burn Romance?

Slow Burn romances follow the characters as they fall in love gradually, giving readers a realistic and genuine romantic experience. Yes, there's plenty of sexual tension and the sex, when it happens, is descriptive. But you won't see it on page 1, and not until it’s clear the hero and heroine are on the path to love.

I have four Slow Burn series:

The Hart Valley books are set in a fictional small town in Northern California. These Slow Burn romances include themes of secret babies, second chances, and redemption as well as some light suspense.

The Pen Pal Sisterhood books are set throughout the United States. Four young girls who met as tweens have become as close as sisters. Now they’re grown and helping each other navigate life and relationships in the 21st century. Join the Pen Pal Sisterhood for a zany journey of screwball romances.

The Everlasting Love books are Slow Burn paranormal and science fiction romances with hard-working, adventurous heroines and dark, mysterious heroes. You’ll find suspense in all three.

The Janelle Watkins Investigations books are mysteries featuring an edgy woman PI and her law enforcement former flame who team up to investigate crimes in a small Northern California town. There's a bit of Slow Burn romance in these books.
