Review
“Slater was amazing! I received this book as an ARC from the author and this was the first book I’ve read by this author but it won’t be my last!! I was captivated from the very beginning. This is not just your average romance novel, this book is suspenseful and it will pull at your heartstrings all at the same time! It was a real page-turner and kept me fully engaged! I highly recommend this book to everyone!” Amazon Reviewer

Slater entered Sabela’s life when she thought she had time to “sip and savor” and partake in his essence, but her ex.had different ideas. Are you ready for something steamy? I was picked to receive this book as an ARC by/from the author and thoroughly enjoyed the read from the first page to the last (cannot wait till the next one in the series!). Full of romance and edge of your seat suspense, you enter into Sabela’s struggle to find strength within herself to stand up for what she really wants for her life.
Loved this book great story line
SLATER is a steamy romance with a touch of suspense. Tina Hogan Grant entices her readers into an unconventional romance with quite a bit of spice.
Sabela drops off her boyfriend, Davin, at the airport. After six months, they have agreed to end their relationship when he leaves for Texas. Later that day, she sees Slater, and he awakens a part of her she didn’t know existed. The next time they see each other, sparks fly, and they explore territory that is new to both of them. But Davin has decided that he doesn’t want to let go of Sabela, even though she has made it clear that she has moved on. To what lengths will he go?
I enjoyed the story. I was pleased with Sabela’s inner strength and Slater’s loyalty. I hope to read the next book in this series, EVE, soon!
I recommend this book for mature readers who enjoy romantic suspense novels.Tina Hogan Grant
I have just finished reading Slater, the first book in the Sabela series, I highly recommend it. It was steamy and was very intriguing with love, hate, and fear. Being terrorized and becoming strong. I did not want to put it down.
I couldn’t get enough of this book. I just wanted to keep reading. Sabela and Davin have a “friendship with benefits” relationship until he goes away to school in Texas. Along comes Slater, who Sabela meets one day on the beach. The chemistry from the beginning is off the charts. They are definitely a match made in heaven in my opinion. Davin definitely doesn’t make Sabela’s life easy especially from Texas. She winds up somewhere she shouldn’t be. Slater does everything in his power to keep Sabela safe after an unexpected event happens and he doesn’t see her for a few days. When he finds out why she didn’t meet him for dinner, he’s mad at her ex for doing what he did. They continue their relationship, but definitely keep their eyes and ears open at all times. Could they have a happily ever after or is there relationship doomed because of Davin? I couldn’t believe how strong Sabela was and how she stood up to Davin and wouldn’t give in time and time again. There is a lesson here-don’t let anyone rain on your parade. Do what makes you happy. Don’t let anyone tell you what you are going to do, and be strong and be with someone who is going to treat you the way you should be treated.
I really liked this book, getting hooked right away. I had a hard time putting it down. Sabela said good bye to a boyfriend who was going away to school. It was an amical breakup, or so she thought. She met a new guy & they clicked very quickly, but her old boyfriend was not done yet.She was shocked when she found out what her old boyfriend was really like. Lots of steamy scenes included in the book. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
Sabelas friend Davin heads to Texas for University. She goes to clear her mind at the local beach and is mesmerized by a very attractive Surfer, named Slater. Sabella soon finds herself in a very intense and heated relationship with Slater, A nickname given to him for the occupation he holds. Their relationship grows into a very happy one. But hold on, Davin is not out of the picture. Sabella is picked up for car theft, blackmailed and nearly assaulted by whom? Which person turns out to be the culprit? Who accompanies her to court? And what ends up happening to Davin and Slater?
I give this Steamy, Page-turning, Who-Dun-It,
5 Stars!
Sabela leads a routine life until the guy she seeing moves to Texas and she takes a solo trip to the beach. When at the beach, she meets Slater whom sets her life in a new track. This book is a fast paced, page turner as Sabela’s life is threatened. I enjoyed Sabela and Slater’s growing relationship. If you like steamy books with great characters this one is for you!
Racy,romance with a story…way more sex than my usual but enjoyed book just was not expecting it.
This book needs a warning. Warning panties will spontaneously combust within the first 44 pages. This is one of the hottest books I have read in awhile. Not only is it hot but it also keeps you on the edge of your seat. You never know when danger is lurking. Slater was yummalicious, caring, strong, sexy, and protective. The perfect book boyfriend. A wonderful read.
Be prepared to sit back and watch the Fireworks explode within the first few chapters, you will see sparks flying between Slater and Sabela ,in this Emotionally, suspenseful,steamy Hot read.
This was a heavily erotic novel, almost like reading soft core porn. The sex scenes were very descriptive, and I thought, a bit unbelievable, esp, the voyeuristic aspect.
There was also an underlying story of obsession and control from the ex-boyfriend, which was dealt with in a pat fashion, wrapping up quite efficiently. I think attempted rape cases don’t wrap up as cleanly as this one did, and in such short time. I think that more time could have been devoted to this storyline.
It was a very quick read, only a little over 2 hours to finish, so that was in the book’s favor. This is Book 1 of a series.
This is not my typical style of book- it was okay, not great.

Slater by Tina Hogan Grant
Tina Hogan Grant is a new author to me. This will not be the last book I read from her!!
Davin and Sabela are friends, friends with benefits so to speak. Sabela knows that when Davin moves to Texas to begin school at Rice University, the relationship would be over, as it was never intended to be a long term thing. Then she meets Slater.
Slater and Sabela bring out sides in each other that they never knew existed; wild, sexy sides. They truly complete each other in ways unheard of. As they explore each other and their relationship, trouble brews on the horizon. Davin has decided he isn’t done with the relationship after all.
Davin’s devious and evil nature rears its ugly head. Slater vows to protect Sabela.
Overall, this is a great read and one that you won’t regret picking up.
This book does have some sex scenes, but they are not overdone.
This book blew my mind! Couldn’t put it down! Definitely recommend. It’s steamy so be prepared! Had some twists and turns but loved it!
When beautiful Sabela leaves her ex- boyfriend Davin at the airport and heads to the beach, she never expects to meet sexy surfer/construction worker Slater. What follows is an intense, love (and lust) at first sight relationship that runs off the rails when Davin begins to threaten her. Together Sabela and Slater try to build a life together while sidestepping dangers. Readers who appreciate an empowerment story where a woman overcomes obstacles to find true love interspersed with some spicy love scenes will enjoy this book. Oh, and Slater’s not too bad, either!
Never in my wildest dreams had I ever thought I’d enjoy being watched by a stranger. What a rush this was. Every nerve in my body was on fire and I didn’t want this new sensation I was experiencing to end.
Read it in one sitting. Fierce plot, lovely characters, and don’t even get me started on the sex scenes (wow)!
Tina’s writing is amazing and I fell in love with this story straight away, can’t wait to read more by her.
I love this author and after reading her book “Reckless Beginnings” I had to read this one. But this books was different from her other one. Good different….good story, a little racy and a little surprising.
It starts with Sabela and her boyfriend breaking up because he is moving to Texas. She isnt. A day on the beach to relax brings out Slater – sexy, good looking – and the two of them hook up…really hook up. Anyway, when things seems good, back comes the old boyfriend Davin who stalks Sabela and insists she move to Texas to be with him. He even goes as far as having her put in jail.
And so Sabela and Slater continue their relationship (hot and heavy) and try not to let Davin into their relationship. Good story, good ending…and of course there will be a book 2.
If you are looking for a steamy and HOT series. that will keep you reading till the end. This book had me hooked from the beginning. I absolutely loved the main characters and how they seemed to click! Definitely a great read!!
5 Stars
