Storm Watch by Jill Shalvis promised to be a good read. Harlequin Blaze, gorgeous guy on the fro9cover, and I’ve always enjoyed her books. But, sorry, I struggled with this one. I know Blaze’s have lots of steamy hot sex, but when they almost crashed their jeep into a tree (hey, lets have sex) and when they were in water up to their waists surrounded by floating debris (hey, lets have sex) By the time they actually got dried out and got to have sex, I was tired of reading all the almost-got-to-have-sex’s!

Lizzy and Jason are great characters, she fills them out nicely, but I struggled and struggled hard with this book. The premise is Lizzy’s little sister is having a baby, and Lizzy just “knows” today is the day and drags Jason (military man who assists with natural disasters) with her. They fight all the way through floods to her sisters apartment, barely managing to restrain themselves from having sex every 10 minutes, and once they get there, her sister is gone. ALL THAT STRUGGLE FOR NOTHING! but at least they get to have sex. whew. got that out of their system.

And truth to tell, the part about little sis – who  is out in the back of some guys Hummer actually having the baby – I enjoyed THAT part of the story so much more. There was humor, one liners, snappy conversation. All while having a baby in a deluge.

So, yes, I’ll still buy Jill Shalvis’ books, but I wasn’t enamored of this one!
