Yearning > Instant Love (and I’ll Stand on That)
What is yearning… and why does it hit so hard?
It’s that delicious tension in a book that has us all kicking our feet and giggling like children. It's that will they, won't there tension that makes want to scream and throw the book.
It's the almost-confessions. The “I want you but I’m not saying it” energy.
It’s longing stretched over time… and when it’s done right, it will have you staring at a wall after one scene.
I wrote a full blog post breaking down authors who really understand slow burn and yearning (and yes… I included anime too). But here’s a little taste:
Uncovering Love - M. Monique
The Proposal - Jasmine Guillory
Just for the Summer - Abby Jimenez
…and plenty more.
In the full post, I break them down by the type of yearning they give because not all slow burns hit the same.
