Every Slow Song
Skylar Davis and Kennedy Moore thought they found their happily ever after when they met in their mid-twenties. Unfortunately, five years into their marriage, happily ever after didn't seem so happy anymore. Reaching the end of her rope, Kennedy asked for a divorce and the two separated.
After six months of being separated, Skylar still hasn't told her family about the impending divorce. When the time comes for the annual family beach vacation, what choice does she have but to ask Kennedy to come along and pretend they are still together? Telling the truth isn't an option since it will only make her already-strained relationship with her family even harder.
Two weeks pretending to be madly in love. How hard could it be? It turns out the hard part might not be faking it. The hard part is not getting their hearts broken all over again when the two weeks comes to an end.
BONUS: Don't miss the winner of the short story contest, Intimacy, included at the end of the book!

Me: Erica Lee has a new book! It's about a couple falling out then falling in again.
Me²: Erica Lee? Are you sure? You've never been a fan of her books.
Me: It's about an established couple falling out and finding love again.
Me²: You say that she likes to overdramatize and turned her books into kitchen sink disaster.
Me: It's a dollar.
Me²: Vent out on GR, I'm not listening to your stupidity.
I’m in the minority who feels this way, so before I even say anything else, please don’t let my upcoming negative thoughts about this book discourage you from reading it if you were interested before. Or better yet, if you’re one who believes in the ‘if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all’ thing, don’t read the rest of my review. Just dive right into the book.
Skylar and Kennedy have been married for 5 years, it wasn't an arranged marriage, they fell hard and hit the altar not soon enough. 5 years later, Skylar and Kennedy were not communicating, kissing, having sex. They were living as strangers in the same house until Kennedy decided to pull Skylar's head out of her arse by uttering the word D.I.V.O.R.C.E. 5 years of marriage followed by 6 months of separation, Skylar was still looking for her clit to tell her parents/family that her marriage was getting a D.
Criminal Profiling on one of the Leads-
Age in the book: 3O years old
Actual Age IMO: 8 years old
Best Attributes:
- Cool aunt, entertained her nieces and nephews.
- Readers were told that she took magnificent pics.
- She knows her way around a woman's body.
- Must have been dropped by one of the adults too many times when she was younger.
I really didn’t care for the moody, airhead, one of the most indecisive, wishy-washy lead I’ve EVER read. Why do I do this to myself? Every time I see a book with an enticing and catchy blurb I hurry and buy it and almost always end up extremely disappointed. For me, the best part of the book was the synopsis, and whenever I was bored or frustrated or shocked (in a bad way) I reminded myself of the awesome blurb and what it promised and hoped the book would turn around. Nope. So while the premise was an intriguing one to start with, it was poorly executed and add a ditzy lead in the mix along with events that you’d have to completely suspend reality in order to believe, this book totally missed the mark for me.
I'm sorry, I seriously love this trope and Loek's review. Trust Loek, she's an amazing reviewer.

Oh boy!
Insecurity, the lack of self-confidence and misunderstandings can destroy the best you've ever had. Damn, Skylar and Kennedy, two stubborn women. Especially Skylar. And oh boy, when they play along, it did get hot. The chemistry was undeniable. Every Slow Song is an unique story about what happens after a happily ever after. It was a captivating read that had me hooked from page one. I loved all the conflicting emotions and the characters are easily relatable. I highly recommend Every Slow Song.

Ladies and guys.... We don’t have telepathic powers. So communicate, communicate & communicate.... Don’t lose sight of it.

Very emotional
I cried through 1/2 of the book. Skylar and Kennedy are so in love ,but they need to really talk to each other. I found myself talking out loud to the main characters. I'm amazed Skylar would spend time with her mother at all. A person can only take so much. I am glad Kennedy stood up to her mother in law. I couldn't put this book down. Erica Lee never disappoints with her stories. Your heart will feel all the emotions that the characters go through. Congrats on another great book.

Fake dating with a twist. The twist? Our main characters, Skylar and Kennedy, are married!
You are wondering how can they be fake dating if they are married? Kennedy filed for divorce about 6 months ago, Skylar is refusing to sign the papers and now she's asking Kennedy to come to her parents' yearly beach house vacation. Without the family knowing they are separated, of course.
As it turns out neither of them actually wanted the divorce to begin with and they are still madly in love, have crazy chemistry, and are just too sweet to put into words. Skylar is a character with self-esteem issues thanks to her not-so-supportive parents. There is a general lack of communication that led to the divorce and also the discomfort between the family members. I'm happy to see some growth in that, but there is not enough progress really. and that's what the book lacks for me. It's sweet and steamy at times, but the progress and development are just lacking.
I liked this for how sweet and well-suited these characters seem, but I just miss a certain something that would make it better. And the ending is just a bit abrupt for my liking. The award-winning short story that comes after has no relation to the book and confused me to no ends, it is a nice story, but doesn't fit in this book and is just confusing with the rather abrupt ending.

Couldn't finish it. Made me kinda depressed tbh.
I genuinely felt bad for the character of Skylar and hated her butthead family. I equally hated that her wife wouldn't step up to defend her against such assholish behaviour, and seemingly left her high and dry instead of confronting issues in their marriage.
Skylar's poor self image made me sad and while I was semi interested in learning if there was more to it than the obvious, I also couldn't deal with the depressing internal monologue going around, and the far too bizarre scenario of pretending the way they were and not communicating.
Someone get this chick some antidepressants and therapy, stat!

I’m gonna take what I read in one of the reviews and make it mine: I couldn’t deal with Skylar. I didn’t understand why the characters suddenly realize that they still love each other but the divorce has to go through.
The premise made me feel super motivated to read this one but as soon as we started to read from Kennedy’s POV my interest in the story disappeared and didn’t return. I was expecting a super dramatic situation that kept them apart and the only reason they are not together at the beginning of the book is because they don’t talk. Once I read something like “if the problem can be solved after a chat between the characters, there isn’t a real problem “ well, exactly that happened here and, given I was looking for some angsty drama, the book stopped being interesting.

Another cracker you won’t want to end...
I knew I’d love the story before I read it because this author never lets us down. This could be my favourite of her books now. It’s everything you ever wanted of what happens next after the happy ever after. Love, angst, humour, hot sex, cute dates, frustrating miscommunication; it’s got everything. I read it one sitting and I’ll have to read it again, it’s that good.

After Anyone But Her, Erica Lee seems to have developed a special liking for a setting where the leads are forced to spend time together with one of their families. The forced time together plus the family dynamics then becomes integral to the way their relationship develops. So here she takes us back into a forced-holiday-with-family setting once again.

As a rule I am a fan of Erica but this book did not work for me. I know many of these types of books are based on lack of communication but this one just took it to the hilt.. I cant give this more than 3.

loved it!
November 12, 2020
An almost divorced couple is forced to meet again at a family event and realises that the other is still very much in love with them.
This book is about how important communication is in every relationship. I love how the author writes it in first person narrative for both Skyler and Kennedy so us readers got to listen to both sides. At the same time, this made me want to scream at them for keeping their true feelings hidden.
Five-stars for a great second chance story. I loved it.

I loved this book, to watch Skylar and Kennedy's love for each other was so beautiful. It shows what happens when there isn't communication in a relationship.

Snore
I understand there are people who are asexual. However, I found the book ploddingly slow. I would not recommend it

3.5 stars rounded to 4
I had never thought I'd get to know about someone who has only the flight mechanism of the fight or flight instinct functional but then I read this book and was introduced to Skylar!
While the character and story made me borderline irritated, it had a sliver of reality and hence the high rating. It highlights very important aspects about how the past or lack of acceptance can blow apart relationships and things well into our future, and stresses how good communication is required in any relationship, be it with family members or spouse.
Though many readers may feel bad for Skylar because she was wronged by her family, I really liked the character of Kennedy.

I’m a big fan of Erica Lee’s writing! Her books always have really great humor and her characters are relatable and feel like they could be real people. I’ve enjoyed every book I’ve read by Lee and so I was very excited to read this one when it came out as well.
In this story we have Skylar and Kennedy who are married but separated and going through a divorce. I’m a huge fan of second-chance romances and I really liked that this wasn’t your typical take on a second-chance. I’m used to seeing stories where the couple was together when they were very young and have been separated for many years and come back together, but in this this book we have the MCs in the midst of a divorce having been separated for 6 months. I really thought that it was a fresh take, and gave us a glimpse into the “not so perfect” side of a relationship that we don’t get to see very often in romance.
I could really feel how raw and hurt both of the MCs were right from the beginning. I know that it’s a good book when I feel the heartbreak alongside the characters in the story and that really came through for me in this one. My only issue/criticism was that Skylar and Kennedy have major communication issues and that tends to get on my nerves when I see it so often in lesfic. It’s like “THIS WHOLE ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF YOU TALKED TO EACH OTHER ABOUT IT!”. But alas! Humans are imperfect and make mistakes which a lot of the time revolves around poor communication, and let’s face it, I’m a sucker for the angst. I also loved the cameo of Reagan and Charlie from “Anyone but her”!!
I would definitely recommend this book! It’s super affordable in the kindle store to own and I believe it’s available on kindle unlimited too.

I think this book will hold a special place in my heart, I haven't read a romance with this premise before and it was especially heartfelt experience. It hit a lot of notes that probably prop up in long term relationships and I found myself really engrossed in both of the leads emotional journey.
September 28, 2020
Just didn't get it! It was WTF from page one and just didn't ring true at all. Not my scene. Went staight to final chapter and still, no... doesn't work. Good night and thank you.
May 16, 2021
I wish this book had been longer. I also can't help but wonder if actual people pretend to be in relationships/ still together as often as characters in romance novels do. That said, I still loved this book. I liked that it was a long term relationship, dealing with the fallout of communication failures and emotional baggage. Couples splitting up due to a lack of communication is a bit of a trope, but one that seems more grounded in reality. People enter into relationships with all of their issues, and if they can't communicate, that can be it. This was a super short, sweet look at how to repair some of those issues.

Real communication means slow moments are breathtaking.
Skylark and Kennedy have been split for 6 months. A family retreat vacation brings them together one last time. Erica Lee has a brilliant way of writing such emotional dialogue. I was crying, yelling and swooning as these two amazing somehow and remember why they love each other. Skylar gains her inner strength and Kennedy has always seen her inner beauty. This is such a lovely second chance story. I will reread this book!

Angsty and sweet
This book ripped my heart apart for about 80% of it. Every time I thought it was going to get happy it knocked me down again. But being the masochist I am I loved every second of it. I love seeing other characters from other books by Lee mixed in in a very authentic way and without needing to know them prior.

Fake dating with a twist! I mean, the premise of the fake dating was kind of as absurd as ever — who would ever think faking a relationship with your ex in front of your family for two weeks was a good idea? But it got us into the story, and shortly the obvious feelings underlying the fake dating scheme made it more powerful than usual.
So then, I have to talk about the “characters failed to communicate” thing. It may be true that if Skylar and Kennedy had mind-melded in chapter 2, the whole thing would have ended early. Except… isn’t that the point? If a relationship hits a low point, I don’t think it’s because the one or both people sat on the couch and decided to withdraw or stop communicating. I think it’s probably because life struck, people were frustrated (for other reasons), overworked, facing challenges they don’t know how to handle (job, financial, kids going crazy, whatever), sleep deprived, overwhelmed… and their brain just goes haywire. Suddenly the things that shouldn’t matter at all make the biggest difference in the world, and the things that an outsider would say matter the most just kind of fade…
So I thought what Skylar and Kennedy were going through was totally plausible. And that made the time away from real life extra important, and I thought it was wonderful how it all played out.
I do think Skylar could have better sold the decision to go ahead with the divorce… I understand her thinking, but honestly my eye kind of skipped right past it in the heat of the moment. I had to go back and give that bit a close read later, and then it made more sense.
Still, I liked the way everything played out. One of those stories that feels more real, like the characters are grappling with things real people do (not so much the fake dating part, but the trouble in paradise part). And… they found their way through. Which, hopefully, real people also do. All in all more meaningful than the average fake dating romance, but still with many of the same bits that make that fun.

This book upset me more than it was entertaining
I've never seen anything or anyone more dumb than Skylar and this plot.. Ok there's break down in miscommunication but along the way you and your wife find yourself been friends again and she's telling you how much she loves you and misses you and you still choose to leave the vacation and separate from her and then expect her to come after you again while hoping for a sign to tell you what to do? Is this some twilight zone?
Fine you're insecure you have all right to be her family is an atrocity which isn't resolve we got no pov from Fiona or Patrick or even some closure between the siblings not even her horrible parents where brought to a good enough conclusion for me and somehow you blame all your insecurities on your lack of common sense when Kennedy is literally doing everything that says I LOVE YOU 🤦🏻♀️. That is not a story that's stupidness

Skylar Davis and Kennedy Moore have been married for five years. Now they separated and on the verge of divorcing. Skylar asks Kennedy to go with her for her family annual vacation to their beach house as she hasn't told them about the divorce. They actually like Kennedy more than their own daughter. She reluctantly agrees. I like the premise and setting the couple up to figuring out what has gone wrong. I didn't like that even though they rediscover happiness together they still plan on divorcing. That truly made no sense in my mind. It's as if the thought of getting counseling together never is thought of as an option which is especially strange as Kennedy is seeing getting a counseling on her own. Skylar definitely needs help dealing with insecurities caused by her parents. For me the plot stopped working at that point. The story is still readable but left me more frustrated than happy.

Life!
An impressive piece of work that relays the pain and angst of the demands of a mother. With the lack of support from dad and siblings and most of all losing oneself to constant self-deprecating thoughts causes a rift in Skylar’s marriage to Kennedy. Skylar learns early on in life that she’s perceived as worthless and appears to subscribe to that belief. When her relationship with Kennedy goes through some obstacles, Skylar accepts Kennedy’s demand for a divorce to prove her lack of value and worth. Beautifully written with well developed characters and plot. Skylar’s road back to coming into herself and seeing what Kennedy sees in her is inspiring!
A great read. I enthusiastically and unequivocally recommend this novel and any others by this author. Thank you. Peace

This book was indeed a vision and so much of how bad communication in a relationship can ruin a marriage. I really loved Sky and Ken. And I loved the way that even with many misunderstandings due to lack of communication, they still loved each other very much. Unconditional love. And I'm glad that in the end everything was resolved, and love found its way into a summer home!
This book showed me how difficult marriages can be at times, more than love (AND communication.) It can make even the saddest days be good. The right person will always be the right person.

Frustratingly Sweet!
This was a sweet story, where the two main characters just needed to “communicate”. I did read this when it came out but I wanted to reread again. That is what Erica Lee’s book cause me to do quite often. Skylar was served divorce papers by her wife Kennedy but she hasn’t signed them. But now the annual family vacation trip is happening but Skylar hasn’t told anyone. So she makes a deal with Kennedy, if she comes and pretends they are still together she will sign the divorce papers. So they agree, but is it the wise decision. Can Skylar deal with her unsupportive family for two weeks all while pretending with Kennedy while her hurt is breaking. A recipe for disaster. I loved the book and the story and the writer.

Erica Lee writes amazing chemistry and easy to read books. That's why I love them so much. This was the same. Yes you can say all of this could be sorted with a good conversation but so could most romances, and in real life how many times have you told someone who you think doesn't love you and that you think has moved on that you love them? I haven't, so the conversations are harder than you think? we love the sizzling chemistry, a little bit of angst before the happy ending that's why we read them. Another romance I devoured.

Slow Song
Erica Lee grows as a writer with every book she writes. I love the easy style of the words on the page as if each word has been lovingly placed there for the reader. This story is one that every committed relationship goes through. The inability of the members of that relationship to communicate what they want and what they need. This story is a romance and therefore there is a happy ending as it should be.
