Wild, magnetic, and hot as hell - nobody does these like Lyne, man. One of the things I love most about this is that it's one of the sacred few of these that don't demonize kink *nor* make it a symptom of some trauma/mental illness; this is simply two consenting adults participating in a kinky relationship. They were getting this shit right in 1986, people - there's no excuse to keep messing it up 35 years later. Of course Rourke and Basinger have smoldering chemistry here too, their performances are so daring for the time and hold up airtight even today. Asks the devastating question of whether it's worse when passion is lost altogether, or when it becomes too consuming for one's reasonable expectations to handle? Also features a montage of the two leads fucking on a rainy alley staircase to loud 1980s synth music after beating up a random group of thugs - so you really get the best of both worlds. The last 20/25 minutes is the best work of Lyne's entire career. 80s MTV version of 𝘍π˜ͺ𝘧𝘡𝘺 𝘚𝘩𝘒π˜₯𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘺 (still not quite as good as 𝘚𝘦𝘀𝘳𝘦𝘡𝘒𝘳𝘺, though).

Storm Season starts off the Olympic Cove series and is actually the last book in the series that I have read. Although it meant that I knew some things before I started, it actually didn't have too much impact on the story. I still needed to know how Ian became partnered up with Bythos and Aphros.

This is such a fantastic series and this story certainly sets the scene, not only with what to expect from Thetis, but also from Olympic Cove as a whole. There are some fantastic characters in this book, some that I know make an appearance in later books, and some that I hope will make an appearance.

With a smooth writing style, intriguing plot line and characters that are completely drool-worthy with hot and smexy scenes too, this book has everything you could ask for. Highly recommended, both as a single book and also as the start of a fantastic series.

This is a short but sweet prequel in the Kingdom of Chalvaren series, giving some details into how Kort arrives on Earth, why he is there, and how he needs to get home. Mia thinks that Chalvaren is a myth, stories that her father made up, even though she knows that she is 'different' to the rest of the village. Their connection is instantaneous and certainly raises the temperature. With a mob of villagers, a young girl who helps to save the day, and a few-day-old dragon who helps to get rid of a nasty vicar (am I the only one with a wicked smile about this part? I doubt it!) everything is here for a fantastical adventure, and it seems like the fun is only starting.

Quick, hot and to the point, this is a wonderful start to the Chalvaren series that I am looking forward to. Definitely recommended.
