SYNOPSIS:
SERIES ROMANCE: (4) Wayne Jordan
REVIEW:
Brenda Jackson’s Desire series continues with its latest entry, RIDING THE STORM, featuring
firefighter Storm Westmoreland. After a weekend of unbridled sex with Jayla Cole, a family friend, Storm finds himself craving for more that
just the physical; a situation that he’s not too pleased about since he’s a player extraordinaire and not accustomed to the tender feelings
wrecking havoc with his usually contented lifestyle.
No one does the confirmed
bachelor better that
Brenda
Jackson and Storm Westmoreland is no exception. He’s handsome, sexy, unattainable and more that a bit marriage-shy. Jayla, too, had no need for
commitment, wanting only to start a family on her own with no man to try to take control of her life. With a set up like this, RIDING THE STORM
does not disappoint but sparks with sexual tension as the conflict between Storm and Jayla intensifies. Of course, in Ms Jackson’s novel, love scenes
are essential and she heats up the pages. Female readers will be left aching for their own Storm.
As with each of the Westmoreland stories, family dynamics play an important role.
It’s a pleasure to get an update of the earlier couples in the series. RIDING THE STORM is filled with the laughter and love of the
Westmoreland family.
Ms.
Jackson has created another memorable addition to a series that continues to delight. I can’t wait until the next story, JARED’S COUNTERFEIT
FIANCÉE, coming in
May
2005.
