This book is absolutely amazing. I read it from cover to cover in one day! There's romance, suspense, and a great ending. What else could you want in a novel. This one will definitely be a classic.

Sandra Brown is an author always in control of her writing, and in top form when she wants to be. Slow Heat in Heaven is one of her earlier romantic suspense novels, and can be forgiven certain flaws on that basis. Sure, it features lots and lots of steamy sex and nasty intrigue by a lot of evil characters. It was a fun read, for sure.
But what prevented this from being a great piece of fiction were a few problems: (1) none of the characters were particularly likable or sympathetic; most were downright despicable, like Ken, Tricia and Cotton Crandall. Cash Boudreaux as the romantic love interest was always (until the last page) hostile, crude, bad-tempered, and even hateful of the woman he was supposed to be in love with. He was also a womanizer who jumped into bed with just about every woman in the parish. Never did I consider him a sympathetic character or care what happened to him. The sex was brutal "tough sex" that never rose to the level of passion motivated by love. This made it hard to identify with. (2) The entire motivation for everything in the story was the rivalry over who got to own and use the plantation: Belle Terre. Just a wee bit shallow as the driving force in the universe.
(3) I didn't buy the fact that Gayla would become the unwitting slave of the boorish, hideous Jigger Flynn. She's portrayed as intelligent and beautiful, and as a young woman, even though black, she would have had many resources that would have kept her from becoming a prostitute and that a grey slave to an old-fashioned slave master. I did like what happened to old Jigger, however. No one ever deserved his fate more than he did. Sandra Brown is master of that.
Slow Heat in Heaven is just like the setting where it takes place: steamy, unredeemable and trashy. A fun read but nothing serious.

Good story and I enjoyed it, but I felt Cash Boudreaux was extremely crude and this took away from my enjoyment of the character. At times it was difficult to even like him.

This is my favorite author so all her books are excellent and I will keep buying her books as long as she's writing them!
Thanks!
