Welcome to Storm, Texas, where passion runs hot, desire runs deep,

and secrets have the power to destroy...

Nestled among rolling hills and painted with vibrant wildflowers, the bucolic town of Storm, Texas, seems like nothing short of perfection.

But there are secrets beneath the facade. Dark secrets. Powerful secrets. The kind that can destroy lives and tear families apart. The kind that can cut through a town like a tempest, leaving jealousy and destruction in its wake, along with shattered hopes and broken dreams. All it takes is one little thing to shatter that polish.

Reading like an on-going drama in the tradition of classic day and night-time soap operas like Dallas, Dynasty, and All My Children, Rising Storm is full of scandal, deceit, romance, passion, and secrets.

With 1001 Dark Nights as the “producer,” Julie Kenner and Dee Davis use a television model with each week building on the last to create a storyline that fulfills the promise of a drama-filled soap opera. Joining Kenner and Davis in the “writer’s room” is an incredible group of New York Times bestselling authors such as Lexi Blake, Elisabeth Naughton, Jennifer Probst, Larissa Ione, Rebecca Zanetti and Lisa Mondello who have brought their vision of Storm to life.

A serial soap opera containing eight episodes in season one, the season premiere of Rising Storm, TEMPEST RISING, debuts September 24th with each subsequent episode releasing consecutively this fall.

So get ready. The storm is coming.

Reviews for TEMPEST RISING:

“After reading Tempest Rising by Julie Kenner I can honestly say it is everything I loved about those shows from the 80's and more; heart-stopping, twisted, engrossing, captivating, epic all describe this very first episode of Rising Storm. Even better I FELT like I was watching a television mini-series while reading it. Each time the "scene" changed, I held my breath wondering who was up next.”-Slick Reads, Guilty Pleasures Blog

My Review:
There are quite a few authors in this series that I love so it wasn't a hard decision to decide to read the series. I first started reading the prequel about Ginny and Jacob and I loved both characters. It was quite interesting and it definitely helped me with understanding everything that happens Tempest Rising. But let me tell you, I definitely didn't expect the way the things went  with Tempest Rising. I was hit with one unexpected twist after another. And some of them were quite heartbreaking and I had tears in my eyes more often than not.

Ginny is quite an interesting character and I was intrigued by reading her story. She is young and as any young person makes stupid mistakes. The problem in her case is that those mistakes are life altering and heartbreaking. It was quite interesting to meet the rest of the characters that will have leading roles in the following episodes. From what I got, each one of them has secrets that will be quite interesting to uncover. I am so anxious to get my hands on the next book :)

If I have to summarize, I would say that this is a pretty intriguing short read and definitely a great beginning to the series :) I would recommend you read the prequel first (it is free, so no worries ;) ). It is not necessary to understand the book but it will definitely give you better understanding :) And I am sure you will be intrigued with the characters and their stories :) The good thing is that the next book comes in a week :)

My Review:


The third and final book in the Dark Pleasures series was definitely not a disappointment.It was captivating and entertaining from the first page. The writing was incredibly good as in the previous parts and I loved getting to know the characters even better as they were developed even deeper.

Mal is still his pantie melting self that will leave breathless during some of the amazingly hot scenes. But he is even more fearless and determined to protect the woman he loves. He once more shows his loyalty to his friends and brothers in arm but he never even for a second gives up on the fight to save Christina :)

I definitely loved that Christina continued to gain more and more strength and little by little developed her own skills and made them stronger. It was definitely interesting to see how she becomes more and more herself, gains her memories but at the same time she still carries a part of Jamie and all her other past lives.

I enjoyed seeing her becoming a part of the team and fighting her own battles even though she is scared to death. I have to say that I enjoyed the most the last battle when Christina find the strength in herself to fight really on her own and and to defend the man she loves.

In a few words, I loved this final part :) It's fascinating and intriguing, filled with fast paced action and masterfully contrasted with romantic, tender and hot moments between the two main characters :) As a whole, the entire series is a page turner. With the smart combination of a sci-fi elements with romantic story, the reader is captivated from the beginning. All characters are easy to connect to and I definite want to read more about them :) In my opinion this is a must read series and if you haven't started it yet, then you definitely have to exercise your #oneclick finger and purchase all three parts :)

My Review:


Once I finished reading Find Me in Darkness (the first book in the Dark Pleasures series) I was so anxious to start reading the second book in Mal and Christina's story. So of course the moment I got my hands on it, I devoured it in only few hours. This second part is even more intriguing and captivating than the first book. It is full with action and dangerous moments, contrasted with heart-breaking and tender moments. I was able to get to know the characters even better which made me root for their HEA even more :)

Mal is still the pantie melting "warrior with the face of a god" and he just becomes even more delicious when he shows his tender and loving side, the side of him that will do anything to protect Christina. It was interesting to see how he surpasses his expectations and he develops his powers even further in his mission to protect the love of his existence. And I definitely had a lot of fun while reading how Mal teaches Christina to control the energy inside her.

I think I mostly enjoyed, though, the part where Christina found her own strength, discovered the new abilities she has and how she could be useful to the Brotherhood and be again a part of their elite team of fighters :) I can't wait to see what will happen next with her and how with her help, the Brotherhood will finally defy the furie :)

In a few words, I loved this second part :) It's enchanting and intriguing, filled with fast paced action and masterfully contrasted with romantic and tender moments between the two main characters :) I can't wait to read the conclusion of this awesome series and see what will happen with Mal and Christina and their friends. In my opinion this is a must read series and if you haven't started it yet, then you definitely have to exercise your #oneclick finger and purchase all three parts :)

Synopsis: 


A doomed woman. A dangerous and mysterious man. And an epic passion that cannot be denied…

From the first moment I saw Malcolm, I felt his power shudder through me. Lithe and powerful, dark and controlling, he cast a spell over me that I didn’t understand, but to which I willingly surrendered.

One touch and I melted. One glance into his storm-swept eyes and I was lost. One kiss, and I was bound.

But sometimes passion can burn too hot, and it would take all of our strength for Mal and I to survive the fire that raged between us...

Julie Kenner is one of my favorite authors and of course after reading Caress of Darkness I was all for reading Mal and Christina's story. I has hooked after the first few pages and I simply couldn't leave the book down. The story is so captivating and fascinating that with every single word, I was just craving more. In a way, it was a good thing that this is a short story because otherwise I would be probably missing on a few hours of sleep :D The writing is superb as always and the characters are well developed and interesting :)

Mal is a somewhat brooding dominant male with captivating stormy grey eyes and with a lean body that will make you swoon. He has strong principles and is ready to do what is right even with the cost of his own happiness. But he is also fiercely protective of the people he loves and he will go to the end of the world to find a way to protect them. I loved that he was ready to fight for Christina with no matter the consequences and that he would do everything in his power (and even beyond) in order to protect and save her.

Christina on the other hand, has mostly no memories of her common past with Mal. But the chemistry between them brings them together again. And even though her mind warns her to be careful with Mal she cannot defy the attraction between them :) They are just like two magnets pulled to each other :) And let me give you a hint :D They burn the sheets together and that results in some extremely hot scenes ;)

In a few words, I loved this short story. I enjoyed reading about Mal and Christina and I can't wait to see what will happen next and how they are going to conquer the difficulties in their future :) This is definitely a recommended read especially if you are a fan of Julie Kenner :) I can guarantee that you won't regret it :)
