Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I devoured The Slow Burn in a single listen, and it's not just because I was hungry for some Italian cuisine. Dominique Salvacion's narration is a delight, capturing Lucy's wit, vulnerability, and growth with nuance and charm. Rosen's story is a perfect blend of heart and humor, with just the right amount of messy situations to keep things interesting. The pacing is spot-on, never rushing through the delicious details of Lucy's culinary journey. However, I did find some of the secondary characters a bit one-dimensional, which was my only critique. Overall, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone craving a romantic comedy that's as satisfying as a well-cooked meal.
