I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy through Net Galley of Slow Burn . This was previously published but has been changed a bit and republished . I really enjoyed reading this paranormal Suspense Romance . It's so action packed and Suspenseful . The story follows Ryder an ancient vampire and Sabine a Phoenix . Ryder and Sabine are held in prisoned in Genesis a military facility that experiments on supernaturals against their will . It's definitely torture . The story unfolds and their journey is not an easy one . Danger is everywhere . This story is smoking hot and full of suspense and betrayal quit a rollercoaster ride . I highly recommend taking the time to read .

Slow Burn by Cynthia Eden is book Two in the Phoenix Fury Series. This is the story of Ryder Duncan and Sabine Acadia. Ryder is the King of the Vampires but has been taken and held at the Genesis experimental facility where he is dying due to lack of blood/food. But then Sabine is thrown into his cell and his mind goes to working to save them. Acadia is a Phoenix who has been taken to the facilities. Acadia starts to think someone she knows is the one that is setting her up. This was an exciting read.

This was super sexy and exciting! Now if you read book 1 like I did it starts from the beginning but with different characters. This can be a bit confusing at times but only cause I had the other book in mind. These books do not need to be read together, easy stand alone. There were a couple little twists and intrigue moments that made this book a quick page turner for me. I definitely did not want to put this book down. Definitely looking forward to book three.

SLOW BURN is the second instlament in Cynthia Eden’s contemporary, adult PHOENIX FURY erotic, paranormal romance series. This is vampire Ryder Duncan, and phoenix Sabine Acadia’s story line. SLOW BURN can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order.

NOTE: SLOW BURN is the re-release of the author’s 2014 ONE BITTEN, TWICE BURNED. Some of the event of SLOW BURN cross over with, and run parallel to book one HOT ENOUGH TO BURN.

SOME BACKGROUND: Approximately ten years earlier the existence of the paranormal, the supernatural was revealed to the world. A group calling themselves Genesis is capturing, torturing and performing unsanctioned experiments on the supernatural in an effort to create the perfect soldier. These are their stories.

Told from third person perspective SLOW BURN follows ancient vampire Ryder Duncan and phoenix Sabine Acadia’s escape from the group known as Genesis. Ryder Duncan is an ancient vampire, believed to be the first vampire, and as such his powers are beyond that of which anyone knows but Ryder’s blood has been used by Genesis in an effort to create the perfect soldier but the power within the blood is more than anyone can handle. Enter phoenix Sabine Acadia, a young woman who knows nothing about her powers or the existence of the supernatural but a woman who is about to find herself front and centre in the unsanctioned experiments at the Genesis complex, experiments that match Sabine and Ryder together in an effort to merge their powers. Upon their escape, Sabine is desperate to return home to her family but her returns brings chaos and death to the people she loves. What ensues is the building relationship between Sabine and Ryder, and the potential fall-out as betrayal and vengeance target our story line couple.

Sabine Acadia is an innocent, naïve to the world of the supernatural but Sabine’s past is mired in secrets and lies, and our heroine is about to discover how truly deep goes the betrayal. Ryder Duncan is the king of all vampires, and as such, he is impervious to most of the ‘usual’ things used to kill a vampire including fire and our story line heroine but one taste of Sabine’s blood, and Ryder is unable to stay away, blood that calls to our hero’s heart.

The relationship between Sabine and Ryder begins as an experiment that goes horribly wrong for our story line couple. Ryder is starved of blood for months at a time, and Sabine is ripe for our hero’s lust. Sabine believes that Ryder only wants her for her blood but her memories reveal a bite that is both deadly and arousing. The $ex scenes are intimate and erotic without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Cain Connor and Eve Bradley (Hot Enough to Burn #1), scientists Richard Wyatt and Cassandra Armstrong, phoenix Dante, vampires Julia and Grayson; Sabine’s father and her brother Rhett; Rhett’s cousin Vaughn and his father Keith Adams; and Ryder’s brother Malcolm.

SLOW BURN is another story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, desperation and manipulation, torture and abuse, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic and passionate; the romance is seductive and fated; the characters are energetic and strong.

Ryder Duncan, King of the Vampires, has been confined to a cell and is slowly dying…he needs to feed. When Sabine Acadia is thrust into his cell, his thoughts go from feeding to who is this beautiful woman and why her, why now? When he learns that she is a legendary Phoenix, her fire burns him, but does not kill him. Now he must try to rescue both of them from the Genesis experimental facility before they are killed. Through various attempts to escape and evade their captors they meet another Phoenix named Cain (who we met in the first book of the series, Hot Enough to burn). As Sabine tries to save her brother from being used against her, she realizes that someone in her family was responsible for her being captured and studied by Genesis. Is Sabine the mate that Ryder has always been searching for? An exciting and often dangerous visit to the paranormal world. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Whoah, what a crazy ride! There is non-stop action and sizzling attraction as Ryder and Sabine meet when they are captives of Genesis and used for testing.

They are able to escape along with some others that are in the book and hopefully we will get their stories in future books, as they sound pretty intense and interesting, also!

It was hard to put the book down as I wanted to get to the end and see how they would resolve their issues and get to their HEA. Hoping to get more revealed in future books as it doesn't sound like Genesis is closed down and you never know if these characters are safe!

Ohhh it’s such a pleasure reading this authors books. Even the ones rewritten. She is capable of holding your interest to the very end. Leaves you wanting more. What happens when the vampire of vampires meets the hottest of hot women. It will leave you burning for more.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

I received an advanced reader copy to leave an honest review of this book. I have read most of Cynthia Eden's works and really enjoy them. My favorite do tend to be her paranormal works so I was very excited about this book. I would definitely recommend it if you like a good paranormal romance. She is well written with good story lines and you will really enjoy her characters.

This is the second book in the series and follows Ryder, the first vampire created, and Sabine, a phoenix shifter. Sabine is a new phoenix shifter and has no idea what she is. Both her and Ryder are imprisoned at a testing facility that basically tortures paranormals. They need each other to escape and when they do, Ryder isn't willing to let Sabine go. Sabine needs Ryder to help her traverse her new normal. With enemies everywhere, they both have to find a way to work together and survive.

I would recommend the first book in the series also. It does give some good background information but it isn't necessary. Overall a very good book.

Enthralling!

I couldn't read this story fast enough! It has action, drama, humor, heart, twists and heat. The characters pull you in the the plot keeps you engaged.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

Sabine and Ryder are scorching hot and I was glued to the pages. It seems like the torture will never end and this one was full of surprising twists. There is a little overlap with book one but they definitely standalone. It's sexy and tense and I loved the romance. I can't wait to read the last one!

THIS IS A REISSUE!!! ONCE BITTEN, TWICE

Sabine has been kidnapped and taken to a facility to be experimented on. They put her in a room with a vampire. The vampire is Ryder, the very first vampire. They have starved him so when they put Sabine, he drains her dry. But Sabine is not just a human, she is a Phoenix. So when she dies she doesn’t remember when she arises from the ashes. After being on this Earth for centuries, he finally finds the one for him.

I loved this story!!! Sex, lies, and back stabbers. Be prepared for some smoking hot scenes.

* Voluntarily read and reviewed this for NetGalley *

Slow Burn (Phoenix Fury #2) by Cynthia Eden
This is the second book in the series and it's Ryder Duncan and Sabine Acadia’s story. The are both held by Genesis he is a Vampire and she is a Phoenix. There is terror, violence, an evil doctor and experiments, angst, tears, pain, strength, family, deception, strong attraction, steam and love all to get us to their HEA. I can't wait to read the third book BURN IT DOWN Dante and Cassie's story.
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Tear-jerker Page-turner Steamy Wonderful characters Entertaining Tragic Action-packed Happily Ever After Scary Twisted Unpredictable Easy-to-read

This book follows along from "Hot Enough to Burn" and gives us some answers that we didn't get in the first book The connection between Vampire Ryder Duncan and Sabine Acadia the woman thrown into his prison to feed him is instant and hot Sabine o idea what she is but one taste and Ryder knows not only what she is but that she is also his mate Now he is determined to escape the Genesis group and take her with him Will they escape will they survive and can they have a future together You will have to read to see. This is a rewrite of the earlier book "Once Bitten Twice Burned" which had some lackluster reviews so I am assuming that it was a fairly major rewrite but it certainly isn't lacking now

Holy Smoke!!

We got bits and pieces of Ryder’s story in the first book. We saw a vampire obsessed.

Sabine didn’t have any idea what she was until she was taken by the Genesis Group
Ryder has one taste and can’t get enough. His mate.

“Happiness. Hope. Peace.” A muscle jerked along his jaw. “And when I look at you, I see all of those things.”

This is a wonderful reprint. And even though it was first written in 2014 you’d never tell. Paranormal suspense you don’t want to miss.
