Fantastic

A short and thrilling story. A woman and a man in the middle of a raging hurricane, a murder, corrupt police and even a blooming romance... Shees! it's really amazing how much action was packed in such a short time!

A quick read, very entertaining and really good.

Loved it!

I'm normally more of a paranormal romance, urban fantasy kind of girl. However, this had me hooked from the beginning. I listened to it all the way through without even stopping. That's how good it was. I look forward to reading and listening to more from this author.

Good story even if too short

This is the story of a woman who rescues a man from a wreck only to discover his is fleeing from the police. She listens to his story and finds that he is being pursued by the police who have just killed his brother and they set about finding the evidence they need to prove he did not do it and to bring the guilty parties to justice.

A Romance Short Story With Some Suspense Added

2.5 out of 5 stars

Hurricane Crimes tells the story of an unlikely pair who meets under incredible circumstances. Beth is forced to ride out Hurricane Sabrina at her home in Florida. While riding out the storm she happens to find a man knocked out in his car near her house. She saves him, brings him inside and finds out that there may be more to him than meets the eye.

First and foremost – this is right on the cusp of being a book that I wouldn’t normally read and review. The cover (and the script-y font of the publishing company) tell me that this is going to be a romance novel. I went into it figuring that it wasn’t going to be for me. But I was surprised at the amount of tension that Fey was able to build in just over an hour. There were at least three of four times that you thought something was going to happen and ether the other did or the suspected bad-guy would talk himself out of.

I may have unfairly judged this book by its cover – but at its heart, it is a romance novel with some thriller aspects and a little mystery. (Spoilers ahead) Strangers meet, they shouldn’t get along, but they do. They fall head over heels for each other due to the dire circumstance that they’re in and.. they do it. Sure, there is an over-arching story of a murder and a cover-up, but the heart of this novel is romance. There weren’t any super dirty or blushingly bad parts to this (I’m not a romance reader, so I don’t know what’s in those books).

Overall, not for me, but if you enjoy quick hitting short story with some enjoyable suspense parts (and you enjoy Romance novels) then Hurricane Crimes if for you.

Great storyline! Surprising Twists!

As someone who lived through Hurricane Sandy, This story peaked my interest.

There were surprising twists that I hadn’t expected throughout the story. The author was able to bring shocking revelations at the perfect moment. Characters were easy to follow.

I truly enjoyed how the author gave Hurricane Sandy a physical sense of being. As if the hurricane were an actual person grasping at the coastline and tearing it away. Very well written.
