No serial killer or hot FBI agent is going to come between Tori Whitlock and her tornado chase season but Detective Jack Mathis plays tough and it’s his mission to end this case while he has the advantage in this thrilling romantic suspense.

 

Spine chilling suspense grabs hold of the reader almost from very first page as Detective Jack Mathis receives a phone call about his case and the excitement and intrigue continuously builds throughout the story as unexpected twists and a madman forces Tori and Jack to play his game and let’s not forget that Tori has an adrenaline junkie’s dream job, chasing dangerous storms. The scenes are well written and full of vivid details that capture the imagination and makes it easy for readers to become caught up in the story while the intriguing events ensure that there’s never a dull moment.

 

Tori and Jack are strong, compelling characters that are easily related to and draw the readers in, both have some emotional issues that affect their everyday life but most especially their personal lives and getting past Tori’s walls proves to be quite the challenge for Jack which adds spice and a bit of drama to the story and keeps this relationship on a very rocky road with heated clashes along the way. There’s also a couple of strong, supporting characters and a bit of  a personal situation that intrudes on Tori and Jack’s relationship which adds more depth to the story in this steady to fast paced and smooth flowing plot full of suspense, excitement and romance.

 

I like romantic suspense stories but this story especially caught my interest because of the tornado chasing…it’s the first book I’ve read that features a “Twister” career and I’m really glad that I decided on it because I found  that Jack and Tori’s characters caught my interest as much as the suspense and excitement.  Oh and FYI, this can be read as a standalone story, and now I am off to find the previous books in this series.

 

4 ½ STARS

This is a 1.5 stars for me.

I don't remember why/how I ended up with this book in my TBR list but I really wish I had read some reviews before I bought it. It would have saved me a few dollars and several hours.

The writing isn't awful. In fact, it's quite adequate. The story and characters, though, aren't as adequate. Julia is dull, dull, dull. Deacon has a "big" secret, one of my least favorite plot premises (right behind "big" misunderstanding). The romantic/sexual tension is virtually non-existent and it was a surprise when they tumbled into bed together because I was expecting more lead-up or resistance or desire or chemistry. (Note: very brief sex scenes - perhaps standard in the Super Romance line?). The story is also devoid of any real humor and if I hadn't checked the publication date, I could easily believe it was written 15 years or more ago. It has a dated feel to it despite the use of cell phones and the internet by the characters.

Also, and this is no fault of the author - just my fault for not reading more about this before I bought it - the basketball scenes were not at all interesting to me since I'm not a fan of the sport. There are lengthy details about the game that I found myself glossing over.

The only thing that kept this from being a 1 star/DNF is Deacon's relationship with his brother Wes. That relationship is better portrayed and more interesting than the one between Deacon and Julia.
