Today I’m all about romance and music! Nothing really new there, but what is new?
Skye Turner’s latest, Hart of the Storm!
Skye captured my interest with this one as soon as she started dropping hints and teasers. Music and sexy/sweet romance? I’m there! Plus, I already love everything else Skye has put out. I knew her latest offering would not disappoint. So when I was asked if I wanted to be part of the release tour, I was all over that like white on rice. Let me give you a little info on the book, then I’ll let you in on the inside scoop.
Amberlee Hart has always had it easy. Her beauty and ability to sing like a Siren have made her a star in Louisiana. Though her dreams are much bigger than “the boot.”
Jeb Storm has always been a tortured soul, judged for his upbringing. Music has always been his escape.
While driving to the most important audition of his life, Jeb stops to help a woman in distress. Amberlee instantly recognizes the “boy from the wrong side of the tracks” who frequented her thoughts “way back when”. Forgotten attraction is rekindled and a relationship is formed.
Passion wars with beautiful music as both pursue their dreams. There can be only one star. Will the man who’s always had to fight for everything in his life forfeit his dream for the one thing he’s never had… love? Will the woman who’s never doubted she’d find fame compromise her dreams for the perfect man? Can love conquer the Hart of the Storm?
From the first chapter, Turner pulls at your heartstrings in this one. She’s good at that! You feel Jeb’s pride in what he’s accomplished despite his upbringing or lack thereof. You feel Amberlee’s passion and longing for something more. And the tension? It’s immediate and doesn’t fade. Since they’re vying for the same prize, it brings a whole mess of complications. Their paths were set, their dreams at their fingertips. They just didn’t count on each other!
Skye has a way of weaving a story that draws you in to her Southern charm and lovable characters. Even though this one is mostly set in L.A., the California kind, you can feel the Southern edge to it, which, being a born and bred belle myself, I adore.
These characters have real problems, concerns, hurts, and joys, even though they’re in situations most of us will never find ourselves in. I love how she writes like she’s sitting in the sweet shop, telling a story to her friends. Her style is personable, fun to read, and the whole time I’m usually sitting there thinking how it sounds exactly like me and my friends!
And the romance! As usual, Skye knows how to turn up the heat, but she does it with a realness I admire. There’s never a moment where you’re thinking, “Yeah, that would never happen!”. She makes you feel right along with her characters and I love that. Their passion lights up the page.
All in all, I loved the story. I wish it wasn’t a stand alone, because I’d love to travel along the road of life with Jeb and Amberlee! [Hint, hint ;)]
If you’re looking for a fun, steamy, and sexy read for those long hot summer days, this book is definitely for you! Guaranteed you’ll need to grab a mint julep or some sweet tea and a fan!
