Out of the Storm is the debut novel by Jillian Elizabeth and
is a cop/thriller/romance with adult content interspersed (the author does warn
about this at the beginning).
Carter has always loved Andrea. Even though they had a
period apart where hot-headedness kept them separate, their hearts only belonged
to each other. Now back together they are stronger and more in love than ever.
Their idyllic life is about to be horribly interrupted when a string of murders
points to a nefarious underground circuit which Carter throws his whole being
into solving. Andrea is also feeling a little uneasy about something or
someone, but can’t quite put her finger on it. Could their pasts be about to
collide in a very bad way with their present? If so will their love be strong
enough to endure it all?
The story was good for a debut novel. It is confusing in the
beginning as so much of their past is alluded to and is only explained in the
middle of the book onwards. The writing is easy to read with only a few
grammatical errors, but sometimes speech from the same person was broken up
into different paragraphs which interrupted the flow of reading. The story is
told from different POV which helps with the emotions and understanding of the
characters, especially in certain heartbreaking scenes. The story itself is
nothing new and is tied up a little too neatly for everyone, but is told with
the passion and enthusiasm of a new writer.
I enjoyed it as a quick afternoon read and would be
interested to see what happens to the couple.
