Summary: Belongs in the Romance Book Hall Of Fame!!
Review: 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.

Summary: Heat in Heaven--You mean FIRE in Heaven!
Review: Man get the water hose! I had to read this baby real fast for I was afraid that it would burn into rusty ashes if I took any longer. My, my, my what a hot one this book is. SANDRA BROWN, did your fingers burn completely off while you were writing this suspense, thriller, lovemaking Bayou burning, Cajun-man heartthrob masterpiece? Ladies and gentlemen, be forewarned--if the deep south--like Heaven, Louisiana, handsome Cajun men (like Cash Bordeaux ), southern comfort (as in ladies and gents of southern class), sibling rivalry( Crandall sisters), family skeletons surfacing like missiles( many families in Heaven, La.), commerce sabotage (Jigger Flynn's Pitt Bulls business; Crandall Logging business and Jigger's Rattlesnake business), wicked women (Rhonda Gilbreath, Pat. and Macy Crandall), whorehouse-rebell-rousing (Monique Boudreaux, Gayla Thornton) , Illegal gambling(entire town of Heaven) and Bayou blues (summer heat, hot bodies, delta romances and stolen sex) tweet your interest--then this is a must read. In the mist of all these factors sweet Schyler must restore her family failing Logging business, confront her childhood friend--turned tormentor, lover and back to tormentor--turned rescurer. Solve the problems of the entire little town including saving her friend from the town pimp, ridding the town of roving dogs that attack the town's people, and save the family homesite (Belle Terre) before she can find peace of mind. Don't be surprised when she also finds LOVE! Hey, did I say this was a sizzler.

Summary: Revolting hero!!!
Review: This book had the most repulsive, revolting hero of any romance novel I've ever read. Not once did he have a nice, pleasant, kind thing to say to the heroine. He treated her like dirt from beginning to end, until the last sentence in the book, when he unbelievably says, "I love you." Cash was a misogynist, cruel creep, and Schyler was a pathetic doormat. Her love for him made no sense because, other than his economically and emotionally disadvantaged past, there was nothing about Cash to make him even slightly sympathetic, let alone worth loving. I know this book was written 15 years ago, but I am appalled that even then, this author would have thought that a woman should love a man who treated her this abusively. I can love an alpha male as well as the next woman, but even an alpha male should have respect for the heroine, which Cash did not. Their relationship was sick, and should not be used as an example of what a romantic relationship should be.

Summary: Perfect Summer Read
Review: I have read this novel about five times and assuredly I will read it again. The plot is thick, with intricately linking characters. The detailed descriptions are superb; I could just hear the Louisiana drawl. And the tensions between the different characters are genuine and truthfully explored. I think the heroin, Schyler, is strong in a quiet gentlewoman way. She does what is right and necessary for her and others. I think she is commendable. The hero is indeed fallible. He is angry, at times hateful and he severely uses women (most, though, use him right back). But as the story moves on there is a hint of his imminent change. I think despite his character flaws this process shows he is truly falling in love.(....) The only problem I have with the book is a few despicable characters, especially Jigger Flynn and the inmates. I could almost not stomach reading some of their heinous deeds. All in all, Slow Heat in Heaven was an outstanding read. I've read eight of Sandra Browns novel (romance and fiction) and I keep going back to this one; of her works it is my favorite. I highly recommend it to romance readers and general fiction fans.

Summary: One of the Best Romances I have ever read
Review: 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.....

Summary: ok...I hope I don't reveal anything too big.
Review: Ok, so this book wasn't the typical romance, there were vulgar people who did terrible things. But stuff like that actually happens so why should it be off limits to write about? There are plenty of heros in other books that play the gallant role in a gentlemenly way, and plenty of heroines do the strong, willful damsel part very vocally, but what I found to be most intriguing about this book was that it didn't. To me it was the fact that it was so different from the typical romance novel, that it was good. Cash was often a jerk but he was also caring in his own way. He helped Gayla and Jimmy Don, he watched out for Cotton, and he showed great emotion towards Schyler. It wasn't often done in a sun-shiny way, but by showing it, he proved that he cared. And while Schlyer didn't tell Cash off like she should've some times, she was strong enough to handle her father's illness and the family buisness while dealing with petty people like her sister. I liked this book and thought it showed a rare insight into what some parts of life are like. Overall, it's one of the best romance/suspense novels I've read.

Summary: Good story...
Review: Unlike another reviewer on this book, I found the heroine to be very strong, lovable and a woman to get a job done. I did find the hero to be a bit..hmm...mean. Definetly rough around the edges, but not all together a bad man. As a healer he was very kind, but to women he wasn't...Anyway, the thing I didn't like about this book was that it went overboard on describing every little detail...scenery, house, etc. I found myself skimming through saying blah, blah, blah several times. All in all a good book and a good story.

Summary: Witless Woman Falls (Inexplicably) For Monstrous Man
Review: Quite frankly I don't know where to start. I suppose I should begin by stating that I didn't like Slow Heat in Heaven one bit. I thought the hero was a nasty loser, the heroine a pathetic weakling, and the majority of the minor 'characters' were quickly forgotten and unlikeable. My major gripe is with the male lead, Cash. Yes, he was incredibly masculine and sexy, but this was added to the sensitivity of a sledgehammer and the personality of a doorpost (i.e not a good combination). Here's a list of just some of the many reasons why I could not stand him, he was - abusive towards the heroine, a compulsive womaniser, accuses the heroine of committing incest, gambles on rotweiller fights where dogs savage each other until one dies, ... In the end I lost all respect for Schyler, the so-called heroine, because she never stood up for herself and put Cash in his place. Overall Slow Heat In Heaven is a repulsive parody of true romance. It is a shallow, vulgar travesty populated with petty characters and ugly happenings. Not recommended. JoAnne

Summary: This will have you breathless...
Review: I have the originals of most of Sandra Brown's books. This is the most erotic and sexy book I've read of hers. Others have been sexy, but not to this degree. A deep secret is forbidden to all but a few and this being in the swamps of Louisiana in a town called Heaven, there's a whole lot of hell going on. You think you know something, but you find out later you didn't. I've read this one over many times and love it more each time I read. Go ahead... take a little taste of 'Heaven'!
