My thoughts: 
Slow Burn is an adult romance/mystery about Ashley Fitzgerald, a young woman who survived a horrific event as a child. She witnessed the death of her parents by fire, and survived the fire after being rescued by one of the firefighters. As an adult, she has blocked out the events of the fire and has moved on with her life through her art and the support of her family. When Ron Nobel shows up on Ashley’s doorstep, she has no clue as to how her life is about to change. Ron is the son of the firefighter who saved Ashley – and lost his life in the fire. After getting letters regarding the fire and raising suspicions as to the cause of the fire, Ron decides to do some investigating on his own and seeks out Ashley in hopes of convincing her to help him by sharing what she remembers from the events of that night. The attraction between Ron and Ashley is immediate. However, their relationship is doomed almost from the start. Ron is hiding the purpose of the investigation from Ashley, his mother hates Ashley and blames her for the death of Ron’s father, and someone is determined to keep Ron and Ashley from uncovering the truth. As key players in that fateful night begin to die and the danger gets closer and closer to Ashley and Ron, we have to wonder - Will their relationship survive the obstacles in its path? Will Ron and Ashley be successful in their quest for justice?

My Thoughts:
In my review for Slow Burn, the first book of this series, I predicted that Ms. Walters' writing and story telling would only get better with each book of the series, and I am pleased to say that I found this to be true for Mine Until Dawn. While I loved Slow Burn, I loved Mine Until Dawn even more.


In this book we are introduced to another Fitzgerald female, this time Jade. I adored Jade. She was so identifiable to me. I admire the way she moved forward from a disastrous failed marriage and weight issues and reinvented herself into a stronger, self confident, fabulous woman. She is a real woman that is easy to relate to. Along with Jade, we meet Vince. Like Ron Nobel (*sigh*) in Slow Burn, Vince is a bit of a tough guy, mysterious and a bit distant at times. (Can I get a shout of for the bad boys?) Vince comes from a troubled family. He and Jade have a bit of a past, and I loved watching them rediscover each other. The attraction between these two is tangible and smoldering. When their hunt for an ancient Mayan artifact brings them on a path of danger and theft, Jade and Vince work to trust each other as their relationship is blooming around them.

Kiss Me Crazy

(The Fitzgerald Family #3)

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Audience: Adult

My Thoughts:
Kiss Me Crazy has a little bit of a different feel to it from the first two books in the series. First of all, we have our first Fitzgerald man in KMC, and hello Baron! *swoon* Secondly, KMC is more of a romance; much lighter on the suspense and action and much heavier on the romantic elements. Readers who enjoyed the other books for the combination may be a little disappointed, but where those areas lack, the development of the relationship between the two main characters, Kara and Baron, totally makes up for it.
