I took a look at a summary again and confirmed that your statement is false. Passion came pretty quick to these two.

But it is Tess who wins his heart. The look he and Tess exchanged at the May dance had promise in it, and now that promise has blossomed–over milk pails and butter churns–into love.

At the same time, at leat initially, Tess did not feel worthy of Angel because of their past. So I guess in this sense your statement is true. She does change her mind though.
