Slow Hands

A familiar formula alpha male revisits the small town he scorned and the high school sweetheart he abandoned in order to seek redemption fuels Lauren Bach's (Lone Rider) Slow Hands, a pedestrian offering that substitutes sex for romance. Special agent Alec Dempsey has been sent to his hometown to protect his first love, Keira Morgan, from a convicted felon recently released from prison who's convinced she's responsible for the deaths of his brothers. Alec and Keira clash early on, but it isn't long before the arrogant alpha angles his way back into her heart and her bed. With its egocentric hero, weak-willed heroine and profusion of romance cliches (""His voice was a caress""; ""Her heart stopped""), this tepid offering isn't likely to turn many heads.
