Kelly’s review of Weather The Storm by Lisa Mondello

Rising storm RDL Header Banner

We are thrilled to bring you the Release Day Launch for Lisa Mondello’s WEATHER THE STORM! WEATHER THE STORM is Episode 7 in the Rising Storm Series brought to you by 1001 Dark Nights. It’s out today! Grab your copy of the latest episode and pre-order next week’s episode while you’re there!

Welcome to Storm, Texas, where passion runs hot, desire runs deep, and secrets have the power to destroy…

Nestled among rolling hills and painted with vibrant wildflowers, the bucolic town of Storm, Texas, seems like nothing short of perfection.

But there are secrets beneath the facade. Dark secrets. Powerful secrets. The kind that can destroy lives and tear families apart. The kind that can cut through a town like a tempest, leaving jealousy and destruction in its wake, along with shattered hopes and broken dreams. All it takes is one little thing to shatter that polish.

Reading like an on-going drama in the tradition of classic day and night-time soap operas like Dallas, Dynasty, and All My Children, Rising Storm is full of scandal, deceit, romance, passion, and secrets.

With 1001 Dark Nights as the “producer,” Julie Kenner and Dee Davis use a television model with each week building on the last to create a storyline that fulfills the promise of a drama-filled soap opera. Joining Kenner and Davis in the “writer’s room” is an incredible group of New York Times bestselling authors such as Lexi Blake, Elisabeth Naughton, Larissa Ione, Rebecca Zanetti and Lisa Mondello who have brought their vision of Storm to life.

A serial soap opera containing eight episodes in season one, the season premiere of Rising Storm, TEMPEST RISING, debuted September 24th with each subsequent episode releasing consecutively this fall.

So get ready. The storm is coming.

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Secrets, Sex and Scandals …

Welcome to Storm, Texas, where passion runs hot, desire runs deep, and secrets have the power to destroy… Get ready. The storm is coming.

Bryce Daniels faces a crisis of faith when his idyllic view of his family is challenged with his son’s diagnosis of autism. Instead of accepting his wife and her tight-knit family’s comfort, he pushes them away, fears from his past threatening to undo the happiness he’s found in his present.

REVIEW PROVIDED BY: Kelly
NUMBER OF HEARTS: 3
Again another interesting episode.   I think that this was my least favorite.   And not because it was a bad story, but I just didn’t really connect with Tara and Bryce.   It was nice to see some kind of happily ever after.  

I did really enjoy the scene between Dakota and Sebastian.  Things are going to blow up in Storm and I believe that Dakota is going to be the ring leader.

Welcome to Storm, Texas, where passion runs hot, desire runs deep, and secrets have the power to destroy… Get ready. The storm is coming.

Marisol Moreno has spent her youth taking care of her younger siblings. Now, with her sister, Ginny, in crisis, and her brother in the throes of his first real relationship, she doesn’t have time for anything else. Especially not the overtures of the incredibly compelling Patrick Murphy.

REVIEW PROVIDED BY: Kelly
NUMBER OF HEARTS: 4 1/2

I loved this installment of the Rising Storm series.   It was great to see at least one couple that didn’t have too much drama going on.  I am rooting for Marisol and Patrick!!!  Oh and Luis better watch his back, because big brother is coming.

Now that I am more than halfway through this series it is clear that there is not going to be a happy ever after in Strom, Texas just yet.

Can’t wait to see what happens in the next episode.

Welcome to Storm, Texas, where passion runs hot, desire runs deep, and secrets have the power to destroy… Get ready. The storm is coming.

Marcus Alvarez fled Storm when his father’s drinking drove him over the edge. With his mother and sisters in crisis, Marcus is forced to return to the town he thought he’d left behind. But it is his attraction to a very grown up Brittany Rush that just might be enough to guarantee that he stays.

REVIEW PROVIDED BY: Kelly
NUMBER OF HEARTS: 4
Yet another great episode in Rising Storm. I love the every story takes us one step closer to everyone’s secrets blowing up and bringing a major storm that will be hard for the residents of Strom, Texas to survive.

I really hoped that Marcuse and Brit might be the one couple who would not have to the town’s curse for drama  Because I am convinced that the town of Storm, Texas is indeed cursed with bad luck and a huge case of liar-ism (this is my made up word for one that can not tell the truth).

But just like every good soap I will be tuning into the next episodes to see what happens next.

During his time in Afghanistan, Logan Murphy has endured the unthinkable, but reentering civilian life in Storm is harder than he imagined. But when he is re-acquainted with Ginny Moreno, a woman who has survived terrors of her own, he feels the first stirrings of hope..

 

REVIEW PROVIDED BY: Kelly

NUMBER OF HEARTS: 3 1/4
And the plot thickens.  Like any good soap we can’t have anything go smoothly can we?  Nope that would be to easy.  Plus what fun would a soap be if there was no drama?  

I do believe that the small town of Strom, Texas more than likely could live with a little less drama, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

In Dance In the Wind we get to see the return of Logan Murphy the local town hero.  But Logan comes back with a lot of demons and secrets.   Luckily, he finds someone he can share his secrets with.  Someone who will listen to him.  Someone he can trust will never betray or lie to him.    

This series leaves you wanting more, wanting the next episode and hoping beyond hope that there will indeed be a happy ending for all involved.   But with some of the newest secrets revealed I am not sure how that is going to happen.   

Until the next episode.  Watch your back, because you never know who is going to stab you next.

Kelly reviews Stroke Of Midnight by Lara Adrian

stroke of midnightTITLE: Stroke of Midnight (A 1001 Dark Night Novella)
SERIES #: Midnight Breed #
CHARACTERS: Jehan & Seraphina
AUTHOR: Lara Adrian
PUBLICATION DATE: October 13, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Born to a noble Breed lineage steeped in exotic ritual and familial duty, vampire warrior Jehan walked away from the luxurious trappings of his upbringing in Morocco to join the Order’s command center in Rome.

But when a generations-old obligation calls Jehan home, the reluctant desert prince finds himself thrust into an unwanted handfasting with Seraphina, an unwilling beauty who’s as determined as he is to resist the antiquated pact between their families.

Yet as intent as they are to prove their incompatibility, neither can deny the attraction that ignites between them. And as Jehan and Seraphina fight to resist the calling of their blood, a deadly enemy seeks to end their uneasy truce before it even begins.

REVIEW:
4.75 Hearts Oh how I love the world of the Midnight Breed. I have loved this series since book one (Kiss of Midnight). And with each book in this series I believe the stories get better and better.
I enjoyed this story very much. I love meeting Jehan, Savage & Trygg all from the Rome division of the Order (already looking forward to learning more about Savage & Trygg).
I really loved Jehan & Seraphina. I loved the tension, love the banter, loved the sandstorm and the results of said storm ;). I just loved this book.
As with all of Ms. Adrian’s stories I want more. I need more. I will have more. I really can’t wait to see what is next for this series.

Lacey Salt’s world shattered with the death of her brother, and now the usually sweet-tempered girl is determined to take back some control—even if that means sabotaging her best friend, Mallory, and Mallory’s new boyfriend, Luis.

REVIEW PROVIDED BY: Kelly
NUMBER OF HEARTS: 4
Okay Elisabeth if you ever decide to not be an author (which I know you won’t) you could become a writer of  soap operas.  You seriously nailed the evil soap queen perfectly.  I absolutely and totally hate Lacey.  So I believe you did your job!!!  

I have forgotten how much anxiety soaps give me.  The Rising Storm series is doing a great job of giving me the feeling of hope and then crushing my little heart.  🙂  I can’t wait to see what happens in the next episode.

NUMBER OF HEARTS: 4
Wowza!!!!  This is going to be a crazy ride.  Just like any good soap opera you find yourself sucked into the storyline, are wanting more and go through withdrawals when you are done with the current episode.  

I really liked White Lighting and I am sure with each episode I will like each more and more as the story grows and we get hooked on characters. I don’t want to say too much because I want you to read this series.  I want you to discover who is doing who, who wants to hurt who and who is the Sammy Brady of the group (Yes, I was a Days of our Life fan back when I had time for day time tv).  I do really hope that by the end of these episodes (how ever many season we go) that there will be happy endings.  

Until the next time I get to read my stories I leave you with this.  Watch your back, watch who you sleep with and never, ever trust the person that says “trust me”.

Kelly reviews Tempest Rising by Julie Kenner

Rising Storm - RDL banner
rising stormTITLE: Tempest Rising
SERIES #: Rising Storm Episode #1
CHARACTERS:
AUTHOR: Julie Kenner
PUBLICATION DATE: September 24, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Secrets, Sex and Scandals …

Welcome to Storm, Texas, where passion runs hot, desire runs deep, and secrets have the power to destroy… Get ready. The storm is coming.

Nestled among rolling hills and painted with vibrant wildflowers, the bucolic town of Storm, Texas, seems like nothing short of perfection.

But there are secrets beneath the facade. Dark secrets. Powerful secrets. The kind that can destroy lives and tear families apart. The kind that can cut through a town like a tempest, leaving jealousy and destruction in its wake, along with shattered hopes and broken dreams. All it takes is one little thing to shatter that polish.

Ginny Moreno didn’t mean to do it, but when she came home to Storm, she brought the tempest with her. And now everyone will be caught in its fury…

Rising Storm -Tempest Rising teaserREVIEW:
Oh man, there is a lot going on in this novella. I mean a lot!!!! In Tempest Rising, Julie Kenner introduces us to the Storm, Texas and it’s inhabitants. Tempest Rising is setting up the world for us, so of course there is going to be a lot going on. I guess I was not prepared for just HOW much was going to go on. The return Ginny Moreno will start a firestorm that will leave the town of Strom, Texas reeling.

The Storm Rising series is set like a soap opera. There are going to be so many twists and turns with each of the next seven stories. I do hope unlike a soap opera that each novella gets us one step closer to a true happily ever after. Not a happy for right now.

Reviews for TEMPEST RISING:

“After reading Tempest Rising by Julie Kenner I can honestly say it is everything I loved about those shows from the 80’s and more; heart-stopping, twisted, engrossing, captivating, epic all describe this very first episode of Rising Storm.  Even better I FELT like I was watching a television mini-series while reading it.  Each time the “scene” changed, I held my breath wondering who was up next.”-Slick Reads, Guilty Pleasures Blog
