REFRESHING
Excellent read, the story line added with the poetry and passion that spells from the pen is unmatched. I’m a visual reader and I could see this book in movie form. The reality of this book is breathtaking. Life reset and restored. Read this book you will not be disappointed.

Love and Happiness
Tired of the cheating and the lies, Serafina finally mustered up the strength and the courage to follow the words of Keyshia Cole and "Let It Go." Moving on with her life, finding another man was not at the top of her to do list. It's when you aren't looking that you find and HE has found her; the one. Happily ever after comes to a screeching halt when tragedy strikes. Will the new Serafina resort to what's comfortable and settle for less than she deserves?
You never miss your water until your well runs dry. Jeremy has come to know the truth of that statement since his relationship with Serafina ended. Reality and hard truths make him realize that she may have been the one for him. At what lengths is he willing to go to get her back?
Ayzha is happily married. Correction: Ayzha is married but happiness is nowhere to be found. Emotionally alienated, she just wants some love, for a man to want her and to desire her like her husband used to. When someone else enters the picture, will Ayzha confuse lust for love?
Khalil has left his player days behind him. Settled and more mature, he's looking for his queen that was made just for him. Life crosses their paths and it's a beautiful thing. Circumstances beyond Khalil's control threaten his future and happiness. Is he strong enough to fight for what's his?
"Slow Burn" is a book for anyone that likes drama or who just enjoys a good story. Seasoned with poetry, it serves to emphasize and improve the storyline without overshadowing or holding back plot development. Readers will come away with satisfaction at a tale well-told. I look forward the sequel, "Orchid's Nectar."

Slow Burn takes you on a journey of the true meaning of love through the characters Serafina, Jeremy, Ayzha, and Khalil. Ms. Farashuu tells an old story about love but gives it a refreshing twist. Each character is well developed and the storyline is so wonderful that you believe every word. My book club loved this book!!!! Get ready to feel love, pain, lust, sorrow and spiritual while you give into the Slow Burn.
If you're looking for a wonderful book to read look no further...buy Slow Burn. Be sure you have a box of tissue handy!

I can't say enough about this book, it blew me away. I judged the book by the title and cover and was excited to read it. I got something so much better than my mind could was anticipating. Once i started it was hard to put it down. Im a little unhappy that the sequel was never finished, but im hoping this author does not give up and finishes it one day. It would be a total let down if she doesn't
