Solid Sala Story!

I'm a complete Sala addict and this did not disappoint. The circumstances were over the top but the story was delivered in a completely believable way. Lance was very typical of the selfish, "all about me", person we've all met before. I think Cari was great, not too independant but, thoughtful and a great planner. Loved Mike too he was just perfect! This was a great story and I enjoyed every minute, especially the china cabinet, just the touch to demonstrate how mercurical a tornado is. I'm looking forward to the sequels.

exhilarating romantic suspense

In Louisiana, mystery novelist Carolina "Cari" North takes a stroll in nearby woods. She is stunned to see her former fiance Lance Morgan digging what appears to be a grave. He hears a noise and sees her. Lance chases after Cari just as a tornado touches down in the area. After the storm abates the injured Cari heads home to find her family seemingly dead; including her identically looking cousin Susan. Knowing she must go to the hospital to have her injuries cared for yet also feeling unsafe with Lance stalking her, Cari pretends to be Susan. While at the hospital, Susan's boss Michael Boudreaux visits her, but knows immediately she is not his employee. Cari tells him the truth and due to his high regard for Susan he agrees to help her. This is an exhilarating romantic suspense starring a beleaguered female and the hero vowing to keep her safe though he has no direct reason to risk his life to do so. Loaded with action throughout, fans will enjoy Sharon Sala's bayou thriller although Lance proves more the buffoon than the frightening stalking killer as he fails to hold up his side of the equation.

Blown Away..Excellent Story

This was an excellent book and also a 1st in the series called Storm Front and it's the 1st I've read by this author. The characters of Cari and Mike were easy to like and were very well written, like they were someone you knew. I was drawn into the story and felt like I was there and part of the North family. The description of the locale was vividly written, I could just picture the land and the horrible Tornado that hit Louisana. This is a fast paced read. I read it in one day and can't wait for the next in the series, which is called Torn Apart. I highly recommed this book and look forward to the next book in the series. I hope this review helps those who are interested in reading this book. I will be reading this author again and can't wait for another adventure.

Good Reading!

With courage and survival-instinct taking over, she escapes in her dead cousin's car. When she regains consciousness, Mike Beaudreaux, her dead cousin's boss is glaring at her. She feels her world shift. Not even her `best-seller-mystery-writer' brain could have envisioned situations like those she must deal with in the coming days. Mike Beaudreaux's no-nonsense approach to life has made him a billionaire. However, dealing with Cari's situation redirects that approach from making money to shepherding her through the most horrific and terrifying time of her life. He emanates power, but his tender touch helps Cari preserve even when she feels like a lost child, with no roots or sense of direction. The fact she is a twenty-nine year old successful author doesn't assure her when her fragile composure threatens to crumble, but Mike's calling her "Tough Stuff" and his assurance gives her courage. Sharon Sala superb development of the characters Cari, Mike, and the antagonist Lance allows the reader see them in-depth. They come alive on the pages. While the secondary characters are not developed in-depth, some of them shine in this often-dark tale. Songee, Mike's housekeeper, tells Cari she is a woman to be reckoned with, that God has a plan for her, and to "get her head around it and do it", allowing the reader to see such a telling picture of this wiry little woman. Of course, three-year-old Daniel and his charming ways are not to be missed--he is a sweetheart. The plot, sub-plot, back story, and love scenes blend together to create a captivating story that is set in a fascinating place that whispers with hidden secrets from a time long past. Good Reading!
