About this listen
In this fairy tale with a sexy twist, she’s a penniless San Francisco seamstress. He’s the king of Italian couture. Who’s got designs on whom?
Boutique owner Kimber DiSanto has seen better days. She’s been dumped at the altar by Prince Charmless, her business went up in flames (literally), and now she’s stuck in Florence, Italy, with an ice-queen stepmother, to try to save her late father’s failing dress shop. Only one thing could make it worse: another man in her life. The arrogant Italian fashion tycoon offering to buy her father’s shop is as rich as he is sexy, and their attraction is off the charts. But Kimber’s not about to get burned again.
Women don’t say no to Matteo Moretti - and certainly not with Kimber’s stinging precision. With all the heat and fury sparking between them, Matteo can’t resist baiting the gorgeous American. His plan? Win her over one scorching kiss at a time.
Kimber tells herself it’s all just a game. That her broken heart isn’t in danger, and that Matteo’s touch does not make her Lady Land dance with joy. But sometimes it takes the fieriest of enemies to turn a fantasy into a real-life romance.

My love story all started with a letter. Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for. You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months. So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father.

Ian is...just my best friend. We're extremely close, stuck so deep inside a Jim-and-Pam-style friendzone everyone at work assumes we're a couple - that is until one day, word spreads through the teacher's lounge that he's single. Fair game. Suddenly, it's open season on Ian. He should be reveling in all the newfound attention, but to our mutual surprise, the only attention he seems to want is mine. He's turning our formerly innocent nightly chats into X-rated phone calls. Our playful banter sports a new, dangerous edge.

Largely set in Italy among the couture fashion world, Kimber, a native Italian who’s been raised in San Francisco is a seamstress at the lowest point in her life. She’s pursued by Matteo, THE couture Italian designer, a marquis, with an interesting familial connection to Kimber. Matteo and Kimber’s chemistry is instant, but so many things keep them at odds. But, in spite of it all, they do reach their HEA!
The Cinderella references are hilarious! I loved Kimber’s “step sisters” and laughed out loud as often as I swooned. Ache for You was totally entertaining and the pace was great! You won’t be disappointed.

You know how some romance series are formulaic? Where each book is so cookie cutter that you forget which characters go with which book? Not a problem here. The only thing the books in this series have in common is a vague connection with fairy tales (Cinderella here), enemies to lovers fireworks, and slow burns. Otherwise, they are fabulously fresh.
“I’m not a mouse; I’m a MFing lion!”
This book started out a bit rough for me, because Kimber is a biyatch of a pistol. But that’s part of Geissinger’s genius; she writes these fiery, flawed, funny MCs. And Kimber’s over-defensive, knee-jerk, shoot first mouth is understandable, what with the trauma of being jilted at the altar, losing her father, having her shop burned to the ground, and going broke at chapter 1… come to think of it, this isn’t just Grimm’s Fairy Tales… this is a bad country song … and it was awesome!
“The egg doesn’t chase the sperm”
Matteo is the perfect match for prickly, always assumes the worst, Kimber.
This a Mr. and Mrs. Deadpool romance, with hate-flirting and everything except yo momma burns (those are the only forbodden cut downs). He’s a smug, alpha marquis; she’s a murder obsessed gal with a super horny uterous.
“Oh no, did you fart in bed?”
Are there nitpicks? Sure. True to the series name, this is a sloowww burn, with nothing but kisses until almost 9 hours in. There’s a fair bit of redundant scenes (he appears all drool worthy in the doorway, a lot and she pictures strangling people, a lot, in fact she may be a budding serial killer). They could have avoided all the conflict by talking to each other. And, yes, the whole blackmail/ not saying what he’s gonna do with her sketchbook thing was eye-rolling even for a romance trope. Also, I had to speed up and slow down between narrators (and up the volume for him and lower it again for her, ugh, made me work for it!)
But, the good parts far outweighed the slight annoyances. I loved the humor, the fiery hate-flirting, and the great supporting cast (including gay friend Jenner, who thankfully wasn’t overly 80’s gay stereotypical). And the one liners, loved those too.
“It’s the hair, isn’t it?”
Just swallow that frog already!

As for the story, Geissinger's character development and world building are always excellent. This one I especially loved because of the heavy fashion references and descriptions. I also really appreciate that the author doesn't always stick to the cliche romance story tropes.
All of the Slow Burn books are clever, hot, and creative.

Hilarious. You will not be disappointed.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I am in love with this book! I really like Kimber's fiesty attitude. I love her personality and she is such a strong woman. She is so funny too! There's just so many jokes and one liners here that are too funny! Mateo is awesome too! He's probably my fave hero from the series. He has this misunderstood guy thing going on that I really like.
I really don't want to share anything else cause it's so nice to just dive right in! I wouldn't really call this a slow burn, cause they have the hots for each other, but you'll definitely have moments where you just want them to get on already (that's the slow burn part), but it is soooo satisfying! They are so steamy and it's so great!
The narrators are amazing too! I like the lady narrator for sure! And the guy narrator definitely gets an A for his Italian accent!
This is pretty good stuff! And this is definitely my favorite out of the books in the series!
The best from the series
