Review: This is book six in the Storming Love Flood Collection. These books do not have to be read in any order.

Sam is set up to go on a hiking trip with his first lover. A man he slept with once then never heard from again. When Patric came back to town from the services, he looked at Sam as if he didn’t even know him. Needless to say he wasn’t looking forward to the trip, but his mom and sister had purchased it and were insistent he took it.

This is a good story. The underlying romance was the main focus of this story and I would have really liked to have seen more of the flood. It was barely a mention here. There was no real drama or danger. But having said that the story is a sweet romance with some hot mansex.

If you like natural disasters, hiking, past loves and some romance this is for you!

Review: This is part of a series however, these books stand-alone well and can be read in any order.

Euan has had a crush on Gregg since high school. Gregg is coming to visit and Euan is looking forward to his visit, but also a bit anxious as this will be a deciding factor in whether he will move on with his love life when Gregg comes back. Gregg is coming with some news but will it be too late?

This story had a lot of potential. I did like the storyline of these two men, but it felt disconnected to the food and the flood seemed to be an afterthought thrown in. There was also a sweet scene in the beginning with another friend Nicos, which also felt disconnected.

Now having said that… if this had been a little longer story with a bit more drama (and more Nicos, more of the stuff with Gregg and Brice where it all connected more, I think it would have been great.)

There is some drama and excitement and the love scenes between Euan and Gregg are hot.

If you like stories about natural disaster, drama, romance, friends to lovers and some relatively hot man-sex this is for you

Reviewer: Cat

Review: Even though this is a series each book can be read individually or in any order just fine.

When Steven stays behind to find a little girl and has to stay behind alone in the middle school with the waters rising quickly, his only regret is his fight with his lover that morning.

Derrick being a fire chief in a small town has to choose between his duties and his personal feelings of rescuing his lover. Will an argument be the last thing he gets to say to him?

For a short story, there is a lot of drama and passion in both the words and between these two men. You can feel the pain in the air as well as the approaching floods.

I will say that it did start a bit slow and a few things in the first couple chapters felt a bit repetitive but once the storm hit so did the pace of the story.

If you like a good series based on natural disasters, drama, suspense, and romance this is for you.
