After seven years together, Sam and Robert are as happy as ever.  They’ve settled into small town living, with Robert as the fire chief and Sam teaching third grade at the local elementary school.  Still, all is not right in their little world.  While everyone loves Robert, Sam isn’t feeling quite so loved.  A few people have been making subtle but disparaging comments to him about his and Robert’s relationship, making Sam feel a bit unwelcome.  Then Robert gets hurt at a fire, which brings out disapproval from an unexpected source.  Robert wants to make things right for Sam, and gets a surprising idea of how to do so…

On Firewas a wonderful read, and Still Burning was just as enjoyable.  Happy, excitable Sam and strong, calm Robert are the perfect example of opposites attracting.  I loved reading about how in love and still attracted to each other Sam and Robert were.  The sex scenes are both hot and sweet.  There’s no huge, wildly dramatic conflict in Still Burning, but while I am often a fan of melodrama and angst, I liked the ordinary, realistic conflicts in this novel.  Robert’s accident, the small incidents with townspeople, and the pressure Sam was under all added up to a story that held my interest without ever once having to go over the top.  A wonderfully sweet ending added icing to this already delicious cake.  If you’ve read and enjoyed On Fire, don’t hesitate to pick this one up!  You won’t be disappointed. 

*Note: While this book can stand alone, I recommend reading On Fire first.*
