Book Reviews:
Melt For You is book two in the Slow Burn series by J.T. Geissinger. This book! I loved the first book in this series, Burn For You, so much. Sometimes when you love a first book that much, the second just can’t live up to your expectations. That is NOT the case here. Cameron McGregor managed to have me reduced to a puddle of goo in no time. If I had one little tiny complaint with this it’s that the entire book is told from the heroine’s point of view. I would give just about anything to have gotten in to Cam’s head.
Cameron McGregor is the captain of his Rugby team, the Red Devils, in Scotland. He is a huge celebrity in Scotland and along with that celebrity comes all the pitfalls of being famous. Cam’s public relations team thought it might be good for him to get out of town for a bit. He has traded apartments for a month with his cousin in Manhattan for a sort of forced vacation.
Joellen Bixby has spent her life feeling like she is less than everyone else. She thinks she is overweight, clumsy, gets tongue tied easily. Joellen works for Maddox Publishing. She loves books and it’s a dream job. She’s been there for ten years. She’s also been in love with her boss, Michael Maddox, for the entire ten years. He’s perfect in every way but she only worships him from afar.
Cameron’s love of rap music played so loud it rattles the walls of the apartment building is what brings Joellen to his door the first time. She is greeted by a mountain of a man with an aversion to wearing shirts and a love for wearing kilts. To say that their relationship had a rocky start would be an understatement. But somehow Cam was able to whittle away at Joellen’s resolve and win her over. She eventually admitted her love for her boss and Cam vows to help her win him by teaching her about healthy eating, exercise, and the art of seduction.
I feel like I should stop there because the rest you pretty much need to experience on your own. When I was reading this, I heard all of Cam’s lines in my head with his Scottish accent. He was hilarious and sweet and flawed and sexy and, well, you get the picture. I loved him. He did not tolerate Joellen’s self disgust and helped her to see herself in a different way, perhaps through his eyes. The things this man said!
And Joellen! I don’t know how any family could be so unaware of the impact of their words on their own daughter. Meeting Cameron was the best thing that could have ever happened to her. I loved watching their relationship build, and the impact he had on her self confidence. He became the voice in her head, reminding her of her self worth. It was a beautiful thing.
This book is laugh out loud funny (always at inopportune times I might add.) It is sweet and sexy and I loved every word of every page. I believe this is the third book I’ve read of J.T. Geissinger’s and I now consider myself a devoted fan. You can definitely read this if you haven’t read the first book. I do highly recommend them both, though.
JoEllen has been secretly crushing on her married boss CEO for the last 10 years, yes you read this right. She’s 36, single, her best friend is her cat, she talks to her elderly neighbors friends, this poor girl has no life. Until her neighbors cousin (who swapped flats for a month over the holidays) comes over from Scotland to get away from his troubles. He is everything that drives JoEllen crazy.
JoEllen finally knocks on his door to ask him to turn down his filthy music she can’t stand. Cameron opening his door starts this crazy journey.
JoEllen is putting in a lot of extra time at the office to avoid seeing her new temporary neighbor, over a weekend she comes face to face with her dream guy, her crush of a decade, her married boss, Michael Maddox. Her day is made when Michael tells her he’s getting a divorce. Ohhhhh let the games begin 😁
JoEllen needs some help, she’s inexperienced and she definitely doesn’t want to mess up an opportunity to make her dreams come true. So why not enlist the help of one of the hottest guys, that is living across from you, help?? And of course, remember, don’t fall in love with his humor, his kindness, his passion, his boldness, and most of all his handsomeness. After all, you have the chance to get the man of your dreams from the past 10 years……. So in the end, does JoEllen find herself loving her dream man, Michael, or her crazy obnoxious neighbor, Cameron?
I don’t want to say much more, don’t want to give away all that transpired during this great read. It’s a journey indeed, a slow burning, face palming journey. I enjoyed it, could have strangled JoEllen several times, but in the end, I was smiling and still wanting more ❤️
I definitely recommend this one to you slow burning lovers, that love a read full of humor and love. There is no love triangle, no cheating, just simply love, humor, and growth!!
My favorite quote :
“Your body isn’t a thing to be looked at and judged against some standard of perfection that doesn’t even really exist. It’s the vessel that takes you through life, allowin you to experience all the beautiful things life has to offer. Food. Sex. Sunsets. Music. Hugs. Laughter. A healthy body is a gift. Don’t take it for granted. Don’t treat it like some cheap one-night stand. Treat it like the love of your life. Treat it with respect and tenderness, but most of all, gratitude.”
