great story line

just finished this book and it was a great story because all of the characters are all different in all their personalities blend well with the others; I have been on a Sandra Brown kick this winter and have read 29 of her books so far, this is one of my favorite for sure!

LOVED IT. Take me to southern Louisianna....

I have read Sandra Brown, Elizabeth Lowell, Nora Roberts, Danielle Steele, and many others in the genre. I absolutely loved this book. I finished it on a plane trip and had about a half an hour left on the flight and so I flipped back several chapters and re-read the ending again. The suspense and action added to erotic love scenes is incredible. I put this book away with my own five stars written on the front inside cover (a sign to re-read soon!) If you love a rough, sexy man than Cash is for you...

Well written, complex plot and strong characters.

I have read and liked most of Sandra Brown books. Some of them, particularly the very early ones, are lighthearted read. This one is not. The plot is complex enough to keep the reader interested to the very end. The main and secondary characters are well developed [Jimmy Don and Gayla are a good enough example]. The suspense and passion in this book are arresting, with the loose ends' -few as they are- solutions hinted at but open to the reader's imagination or particular bend of mind. "Slow heat in heaven" grabs the reader until the last sentence, although it is not -at least for me- a book for one sitting, but then, it is neither a book to read only once. It remains a favorite.

Belongs in the Romance Book Hall Of Fame!!

This book is an example of Sandra Brown at her very best. In fact, I don't think anything else she's written has even come close to the emotional rollercoaster ride you get with this one. Now, admittedly, Cash is not a hero for everyone; he is rude, crude, opinionated and just too sexy for words, but Schyler is more than a match for him. And I just loved the secondary characters of Gayla and Jimmy Don; their own love story just tore at my heart.I bought this book when it first came out and recently re-read and believe me, it stands the test of time and very few books can do that. Bravo to Ms. Brown and please, please write another book that's as emotional and steamy as this one.

One of the Best Romances I have ever read

This was the first Sandra Brown novel I read & I read this book many times since then. Cash Boudreaux is one of the sexiest male characters I've read about. Ms. Brown's ability to develop sexual tension between Cash and Skyler is phenomenal. I have to honestly admit, this book is probably Sandra Brown's finest book. None of her other novels have measured up to this story. The characters are human, they have depth. Everyone has a flaw -- no one is perfect in this book. But Cash & Skyler overcome their own quirks and human flaws to love each other. THe storyline does deal with poverty, small backwater town politics and gossip, intermingled with romance, suspense, and good ole' backstabbing redneck hypocrites... If you've never lived in a small southern town full of red necks, then I'm sure its difficult to imagine life in Heaven Louisiana. Honestly, I've been there/done that. Ms. Brown literally captures the feelings!!Plus there is one fantastic story line that encompasses this lovestory. Highly recommended reading. i have literally worn out my book and am looking to replace it.....
