I've probably said it before, but I don't normally read Erotica. So, when something catches my eye, there's normally a reason. My reason - curiosity ;-)
Once Burned is an Erotic Romance Suspense. It layered in just enough suspense to keep me turning the page. Once Burned is not a thriller, but is truly a cozy little "whodunit," think updated "Murder She Wrote." I found myself despising the people of the small town of Stoneham just as much as Cassie Fitzgerald. And, honestly, couldn't wait for the next scene between her and Griffin Hunter :-)
It's one of those intriguing stories of when you leave home can you really return. And do you really want to?
If I were Cassie, I don't think I'd want to.
Although this book has murder and break-ins, I never get the sense Cassie Fitzgerald is ever in danger. I feel that she is instead in the middle of a conspiracy that would rather her gone than dead.
The characters were developed well, and the story moved at an even enough pace appropriately spaced with sex and story. The sex moved the story forward and wasn't just thrown in to titillate, but it did!
I had the discussion with a friend of mine of what is Erotica. Before I read the book, I'd imagined the sex would be more hard-core. I was surprised by this book, and enjoyed it.
