BLOG TOUR and 5* Review Storm by Carian Cole

It has been a few days since i finished reading Storm and I can tell this has been a fantastic read because although I’m three or four books further down the line I am still swooning over this story!

Evie, damaged and struggling through life, finds herself lost and stranded in a huge blizzard with a stranger.  A stranger who initially scares her and is totally unlike anyone she knows.  He is intriguing and in a definite case of first impressions aren’t always what they seem, Evie and Storm embark on a journey of self discovery for both of them.

I don’t want to write spoilers in to this review so I am going to have to pick carefully through the story line but needless to say not only is Storm not the man Evie thinks he looks to be, but he is also hiding something bigger.

Storm is pretty transparent in a way and you can see him from the moment he meets Evie that he is falling for her. He has suffered in the past too  and has his own demons to chase (with the help of Evie) And he falls for her harder than even he realises is possible.  His life is complicated and their potential path to love is also muddied by the fact that Evie is also committed to someone else.

They spend two nights stuck in Storms truck after a wreck causes them to be stranded miles form anywhere during a vicious snow storm.  Without the impact of real life the connect and neither of them can really understand what is happening.  It is pretty endearing because you sense that everything they are feeling is so new to both of them.  It is also a fantastic path for Evie to begin to rid herself of her last and be able to move on.

I fell for Storm hard too.  He is a powerful male leading character and although he has two sides (again no spoilers – sorry!) his “real side” is what he shows to Evie and he is so comfortable bing himself inner presence,  There are a few scenes with is family too that really warmed my heart and his Mum in particular was a fantastic addition as a side character too!

And oh my goodness if you only read this book for the fact that there are two pretty loveable side characters there too in  the form of Halo and Niko.  Loved these two!

I have really loved this book and cannot wait for more from this series!!!  It is a full standalone and the ending does not leave you hanging.  It was a fantastic read that I managed to finish in one sitting and can say, even now I’m still feeling satisfied!

This is definitely getting a 5 Star review from me!
