Calm Before the Storm

By: Larissa Ione

Narrated by: Paul Boehmer

Secrets, Sex, and Scandals.... Welcome to Storm, Texas, where passion runs hot, desire runs deep, and secrets have the power to destroy....

Get ready. The storm is coming.

Marcus Alvarez fled Storm when his father's drinking drove him over the edge. With his mother and sisters in crisis, Marcus is forced to return to the town he thought he'd left behind. But it is his attraction to a very grown up Brittany Rush that just might be enough to guarantee that he stays.

And the story continues

This episode features the Alvarez family, focusing on the return of Marcus. His return is interesting since his love interest is Brittany Rush, and with them coming from different sides of the tracks, it makes the story that much more riveting. The dynamic in the Alvarez family is also something that is to be watched, with Joanna coming into her own, Dakota acting as the entitled princess she wishes she is and Mallory trying to get her own relationship with her boyfriend in order. A lot is happening, leading up to the big explosion that is definitely building as the series continues. With Paul Boehmer narrating this gem, it is a book that keeps you going for the next one.

Marcus Alvarez comes home

Marcus Alvarez finally came back home after running away years ago. In his words, we find out why he left and got more confirmation about his father Hector’s mean and cruel behavior towards his wife and Marcus, but never for this precious daughter Dakota. There is more heat simmering between Marcus and Brittany Rush, the senator’s daughter. I like the whole wrong side of the tracks and rich girl theme, but I know the Rush family will do something to crush the Alvarez family. I like Marcus and it is clear that he is a good person. I hope he can save his little sister Dakota because she is entangled in a mess.

I am more excited by the fact that Ginny’s story is to unravel and throw a lot of people into a tailspin. She has a budding relationship with veteran Logan, but Jacob’s family will not appreciate being lied to.

This series is still very enjoyable and I plan to continue shortly.
