Madeline Turner is the bank manager for her family’s Chicago based bank. Maddy’s sister Tabby tells her that their stepmother Deborah is going to bid on a male escort at the Give-a-Kid-a-Christmas charity auction. She then convinces Maddy to go and bid on him to thwart Deborah’s attempt to cheat on their father.

Jake Wallace is a paramedic for the Chicago Fire Department. He doesn’t want to participate in the bachelor auction but his boss insists and it is for a good cause, so he does. Peeking out of the curtain while waiting for his turn to go on stage Jake sees Maddy and wants her, so when Maddy is the highest bidder for him he really puts on the charm. Maddy really likes Jake, he’s not what she expected him to be as she thinks he is a gigolo, so she’s keeping her distance. Jake really likes Maddy but she won’t let him get close. Jake will have to make Maddy see him for who he really is or he’ll lose the woman he’s fallen hard for.

Leslie Kelly does sweet and sexy so well. Maddy is a sweetheart and Jake is charming and gorgeous. With some funny moments, a little bit of angst, and sizzling sex, Slow Hands is fun, hot, and really romantic.
