Hey y'all looking for slow burns- contemporary, historicals, paranormals- whatever.
Just finished Dear Dwayne, With Love & it was really cute. Have also liked a lot of Mariana Zapata's books in the past. Any rec's?

Awww yeah, getting my chair because this is gonna be good. Slow burn is another favourite trope of mine.
My first real slow burn, and still among my faves is Lead. Rock star romance with a recovering addict lead singer and his assistant/sober companion. It's the third in the series and can standalone, but the two previous books are also pretty great (the following one you can skip though, it was meh).
That's all I can think of right now. I really should have some trope shelves for my books. :/

Heather,

I’m going to go Old Skool with my rec:

The Outsider

I read this one recently, and I think it’s a 4.5-star read. Interesting late 1800s Montana setting.

Not an inspirational book but heavy on religion since heroine belongs to an offshoot of Amish-like religion (it's never mentioned which exactly).

I'm re-reading Family Blessings by LaVyrle Spencer, which is definitely a slow burn. A mother and her son's friend/colleague come together after that son's death. It's hella sad, but realistic about the relationship, I think.

If you like new adult and haven't read her, Tammara Webber's books are slow burn too. Easy is amazing (tw for sexual assault)

If you like westerns, I think Jo Goodman is a master of slow burn romance and she doesn't shy away from tough topics. Forever In My Heart is one of my favorites (it needs a tw for noncon/rape though)

And one of my absolute favorite romances of all time is Wild at Heart by Patricia Gaffney. It's kind of George of the Jungle ish but set in the late 1800's in the Chicago/suburbs. It's super sweet and a little melancholy.

My favorite slow burns are
The Hot Shot (currently $.99!)
Beginner's Luck
The Hating Game

I know that's mostly what I read, but I don't keep track of all of them. :)

Sweet! So many new ones to check out! Thanks Coral, McIaudia, Jae & Sam!!

I've recently read A Queen from the North: A Royal Roses Book it has a slow burn. Redheaded girl reviewed it on SBTB a while back and it was my first 5* read of 2018.

I'd agree about Mariana Zapata being the queen of the slow burn romance.

A couple of Julie James' would count: Practice Makes Perfect and Just the Sexiest Man Alive
Kristen Ashley's Law Man
Lucy Parker's Act Like It,
Rachel Higginson's The Opposite of You, Alessandra Torre's Love in Lingerie I'd say these are slow burn, maybe less "burn" than MZ but still good.
