If you read my review of Stormy Surrender, then you will know that I thought it could work as a stand alone novel if the plot twist at the end was removed. HOWEVER, I am so glad this story is a series! I adored Tempest Torn! The writing is just as beautiful as the first. I am in love with Marti and Joey's love story! I have completely connected with Joey's character. He reminds me a lot of my husband by being Mr. Handyman, a lover versus a fighter, and one who finds it difficult to explain one's feelings.

Both Marti and Joey both have a hard time communicating in this book, things are at odds with them, and they have to figure it all out because of a very interesting plot twist (no I'm not spoiling it for you). Once they arrive on the same page it is like they never skipped a beat! These two were no doubt made for each other, and the cutest thing since sliced bread!

I found myself talking out loud to the characters about the decisions they were making, and then laughing at myself for thinking I could change what was going to happen next. I laughed, yelled a little at Joey, cried out for Marti, and wished that I could be Laurel and Keely's best friend! I am so captivated by Nicole Andrews Moore's writing that I cannot wait for the next book of this series to be released! I am craving more!!
