I really enjoyed the first book in the Slow Burn series by J.T. Geissinger, so I was excited to be able to read the next in the series. Melt for You was a truly enjoyable read. The chemistry and banter between Jolene and Cameron was fantastic - there were a few times where I found myself laughing out loud!. Melt for You is a title that I will definitely recommend.

Oh my word, this author. I love everything Ms Geissinger writes. She has a knack for making her characters so real that even the unreal circumstances that they find themselves in are something you could totally see yourself or your bestie in. Joellen *IS* parts of every woman I know. Body issues, her sass bordering a little too closely to snark, her attitude towards exercise, unattainable and awkward crushes, the adoption of weird neighbors, ALL OF IT. And Cam is the guy we wish had set his sights on us. He's flawed enough to be real and hot enough to keep burning up the pages. He loved her for HER, and built her up unconditionally. I mean, where are guys like this?? I laughed out loud so many times I felt like I was with friends, I cried and I cringed and I had a definite book hangover when this story was finished. I re-read all the Geissinger on my kindle and looked for more. I really, REALLY enjoyed this book. Thank you so much.

Ok sorry to say this but this is one of my least favourite books by Geissinger. I don't mind slow burn books and sometimes they can be great but not this one. It just took too long, 84% on my kindle, for them to finally do "the deed " The book was funny and I liked their banter and chemistry but I just didn't like how long it took for her to realise who she really loved. Totally disappointed!

I will be honest I am not much romance unless thing go boom, people are running for there lives. Romance has been something I avoid because it really cheesy.

J.T. Geissinger is your typical ugly duckling story but what makes this stand out is the banter from the two characters that will have readers smiling, laughing and sighing.

The author is able to create amazing banter between Cameron and Joellen that makes the story fun and believable.



This reader is one of the those socially awkward individuals that seem to trip over her tongue all all the time. The kissing scene had me laughing

Cameron "Was that it?"

Joellen "Yes!" I shouted. Why? Was it that bad?"

Cameron "No, it was perfectly fine, lass. If I were your grandma." This lips curl up and I realize he is laughing at me.

Joellen. "Oh My God your impossible."

The kissing lesson continues from there with more romance and sweet moments.



The Running scenes are even better.

Joellen "Rest on your butt Crack?"

Cameron "With a straight Face he says Aye, Lass you caught me. its a bottle of butt crack juice. Drink up, its full of o'vitamins."

The banter keeps on going and readers will eat up every single word that J.T. Geissinger has written.



This story is one of the best romance book I have read in a long time and I can't wait to read more by this author. While they characters have sex it isn't nearly as graphic as the author Romantic Suspense serves which are a bit more erotic.



This story is a lot like my husband and I when we first met. I couldn't stand him and I never once pretend to be someone else for the first time. We teased each other until one day he asked me out on a date. After we were engaged he said "I always wanted to marry someone who had no idea how truly beautiful they were inside and out. You are beautiful and just need to believe in yourself and less about what others said to you in the past."



Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher Montlake for the advance copy of Melt For You by J.T. Geissinger

What would you do if a beardy, tattooed, muscular, rugby-playing Scottish man moved into the apartment opposite you playing rap music REALLY loudly? Well if you are Joellen Bixby you march right over there and give him a piece of your mind, that's what. No matter that he's half naked and wearing a kilt. Or that he has a lot of friends in similar stages of undress (apparently playing strip poker).

Cameron MacGregor may just be the most famous sportsman on the planet but when he starts hitting the headlines for his lifestyle rather than his skills on the rugby pitch his manager suggests he leaves Scotland for a few months. Now this delectable, pocket-dynamite girl from across the hallway is up in his face and calling him names - it could be love!

Joellen is a junior editor at a publishing house and has been in love with her married CEO, Michael Maddox for a decade. Her boss Portia hates her and her fellow cubicle inmates barely speak to her. When Portia dumps a book on her desk, wanting revisions by Monday morning Joellen is too cowed to say no, but she's not going to take any nonsense from that man mountain across the hallway, even if she has been dreaming about half-naked Scottish warriors for days.

In return for keeping the volume down, Joellen agrees to cook Cameron a shepherd's pie, which turns into a week of home-cooked meals. Soon, the two of them are wise-cracking back and forth and Cam is giving Joellen advice on how to catch her boss' attention when he suddenly announces he's getting divorced.

J.T Geissinger is one of my new favourite authors, she manages to convey so much without spelling it out in mind-numbing detail, she's funny, her characters are endearing, her writing is clever and her plots are enjoyable romps. Cameron manages to be both wonderfully sweet and ridiculously egotistical, maybe it's because he's always got a smile on his face that he can pull it off. I guess the abs of steel don't hurt either. Or his apparent allergy to clothing on the top half of his body.

Anyway, a sparkling romance, highly recommended.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

This is a must read if you enjoy hilarious witty banter and romance. I laughed out loud in a restaurant when I was reading it. Joellen considers herself to be unattractive, After work a usual evening for her is hanging out with her cat and enjoying some ice cream. When her neighbor, Cam starts playing loud offensive rap music Jo doesn't hesitate to tell him how she feels about it. Granted he's a huge handsome pro rugby playing Scot in a kilt but that doesn't faze her....much. Cam is baffled by Joellen's inability to see herself as he sees her. She thinks she's and ugly duckling but he sees a swan in disguise. Do yourself a favor and read this then recommend it to your friends. It's so good!

Sweet and fun, Melt for You is part of the Slow Burn series. "Ugly" Duckling Joellen is shown what a beautiful swan she is by annoyingly hot Scottish rugby player.

Wow if I could give this book more then five stars I would!! This is my favorite book this year!! Its about a hot sexy rugby player named Cameron McGregor and a impish girl that's hilarious named Joellen Bixby! I had to stop towards the end and text my bestie that we need to start following a rugby team!! If you don't fall for rugby after reading this there's something wrong with you lol!! But it was a awesome book awesome story line! It was sweet so so hot!! Some action thrown in it just had everything!!! Ugh I can't say enough about it!! I can not thank the publishers and netgalley and the author for sharing this book with me!! Omg best book yet this year!! I'll be singing its praises when the book is released!! Thank you again!! So much I truly enjoyed this read!!

I would love for Melt For You, to be made into a movie. It was hilarious and I am drooling thinking about seeing Cam's muscles in 3D. Joellen and Cam are able as opposite in personality as two people could be. The sparing between them made me laugh so hard. It must have been a lot of fun writing this book.
