ARC received for an honest review

It is not that often that a debut author comes along and you think "wow that was a debut novel"?

But that was how I felt with Storm by Carian Cole.

You all know by now I am a sucker for a rock star, but this was not your run of the mill rocker book.  In fact, there was not much of the rock star lifestyle in Storm, it was more about the man behind the rock star persona.


From the minute Storm stormed onto the pages, I just knew I was going to like him.  He took no crap, didn't bite his tongue, told it like he saw it.

Evelyn is your average girl with her life all planned out.  Average joe boyfriend, average joe sex life. Until she meets Storm.

Wow the sexual attraction between these two is off the charts!!!


I loved the bond they formed whilst they were stuck in the blizzard.  Aggravation and lust all rolled out on the backseat of a pick up truck.

I could sense right away that Storm was smitten with Evie, and could feel the confusion rolling off her - how could she feel this way when she loved her boyfriend.

Gah, don't get me started on the boyfriend.  I did not like him one bit.  I did feel one good thing about him

What did frustrate me was Evelyn's flip-flopping between Storm and Michael.  Seriously girl, make up your mind and just stop it!!  Don't have Storm's hands down your pants one minute then go "oh no I have a boyfriend"!!  Though, who could refuse his "orgasm assistance"!

I loved how Storm stuck at it.  His persistence to get Evie to be with him was what all women want in their man.  Sweet, sexy dirty talker.  Yep, can we find him on eBay?

So, will Evie finally realise what she wants is right in front of her, or will it be too late


Nope, you are going to have to read for yourself.

I really liked the secondary characters in Storm.  Well, most of them.  Juggsy I just wanted to hiss at every time she turned up on the page.  I loved that we got to know a little about Storm's band mates, his family, his friends.  We didn't learn as much about Evie family, but we get enough back story that we can get where she is coming from.

As things happen towards the end of Storm, it has made me very interested in learning more about Vandal (which is the next book in the series)

Carian Cole has given us a well developed, well written debut novel, and I look forward to reading more of her work.
