Seduced by the Storm

Book Description:
DANGER IS THE ULTIMATE APHRODISIAC.

They met in a steamy Florida bar—then spent a night of mind-bending passion. Two secret agents who each possess unique telekinetic gifts—and whose combined sexual powers leave neither of them unscathed. For ex–Navy SEAL Wyatt Kennedy, assigned by the Agency for Covert Rare Operatives to the most treacherous mission of his career, the woman in black leather and lace has just become more than a one-night stand. Because Faith Black is the sole barrier to the success of his mission—and not even Wyatt’s legendary seduction skills can penetrate her deep cover.

Faith’s psychic gifts make her one of the world’s most dangerous women—but she hides a secret pain she shares with no one. Until Wyatt. And Faith has an agenda of her own: using her unique powers to save someone close to her—a move that pits her against a man she thought she’d never see again. For as a deadly hurricane is unleashed across the eastern seaboard, desire reignites between Faith and Wyatt, exposing secrets that thrust them both into harm’s way. With the hurricane sweeping closer—and their erotic hunger for each other growing—these two wary hearts must come together to heal, to trust . . . and to harness the power of a storm that could consume everything in its path.


Stacey’s Review
Rating: 5/Fabulous and Extremely Hot


Okay so let me tell you this much. I am so glad I didn’t stop reading at the second book because this one made up for all the bad spots of the last one. I absolutely loved Wyatt from the very beginning. This book is about Wyatt and Faith’s story and we find out where Wyatt has been. His assignment has been to infiltrate the ITOR oil rig where Haley (the parameterologist from the first book) found they were keeping the weather machine ACRO has been searching for. Wyatt’s mission is to destroy the motherboard after disabling the machine. Faith’s on a mission to steal the motherboard from ITOR not destroy it. She needs it to turn it over as ransom for her long lost sister, Liberty, but she intends to hold on to the motherboard after rescuing her sister in order for her agency to study and learn from it. They do agree to work together to steal the motherboard in order to rescue Liberty, but Faith isn’t completely honest with Wyatt and leaves out the part that she has plans for her agency to keep and study the board afterwards. So as you can see major conflict!
Wyatt is presumed dead for the benefit of this assignment, but it appears as the book goes on that other ACRO agents besides Dev now know he is alive. From the first two books we learned that Dev believed there was a spy among ACRO so he gradually became more secretive of any missions and other vital information. He was, or course, trying to narrow down the leak, but as we found out and saw it was dealt with in the second book, the leak was Dev. So it’s presumed from the open conversation about Wyatt’s whereabouts that it’s safe to continue business as usual.
I don’t see how you could not love this book. Wyatt is so hot and the chemistry between him and Faith is probably one of my favorites in a while. I don’t know if it is the telekinetic abilities of the two that connects them immediately, but they are definitely drawn to each from their first meeting in the bar (which by the way neither of them knows the other is an agent yet). Faith and Wyatt’s emotions for each other are very strong right from the start.
Wyatt’s power is telekinesis and a hidden power of seduction that goes way beyond that of any seducer ACRO has. We find out later that his seduction is tied to a third power and NO, I’m not telling what it is either!! The pitfall of his seduction power is that any woman he sleeps with doesn’t remember him beyond their initial meeting. So when Wyatt and Faith unknowingly end up on the same oil rig together, both undercover working for different agents, Wyatt isn’t expecting Faith to remember the mind blowing sex marathon they had the night before after leaving the bar. When he runs into her and tells her what a shame it was she left so quickly from the bar, she points out it was him who left suddenly from her bed the next morning with only a kiss and a quick goodbye. He is utterly and happily shocked. The fact that she remembers last night means something very important and Wyatt isn’t going to let the woman go easily. His strong feelings for Faith over whelm him and immediately he closes in on her. Without a second thought he blurts out, “I don’t want you with any other man”. Be still my ever-loving heart!!! I love a sexy alpha male and from what I read Wyatt is definitely an alpha. Too Sexy!!
The way that Wyatt and Faith just click is so sweet!! It’s obvious throughout the book that Wyatt and Faith are very protective of each other and meant to be together. It takes Faith a while to be completely honest with Wyatt about her mission, but it doesn’t stop the heat between them and, wow, does Wyatt know how to get information when he wants to! Totally hot!! I loved reading how Faith helped Wyatt deal recover his missing past memories so he could finally heal and what Wyatt learns from the experience makes it even better.
Also, in this book is the continuing story of Creed and Annika, Dev and Oz and Remy and Haley make an appearance also. Remy and Haley are working to stop the damage the weather machine is creating so they are kept busy fighting the storm and in the process Haley reveals good news to Remy! Creed and Annika’s relationship is so sweet and heartbreaking. Creed is trying so hard to keep Annika and get her to admit to her feelings while at the same time Annika is trying just as hard to not admit her feelings. She wants to go back to not having emotions because it brings with it so much more than she feels ready to deal with. Creed helps her and once she realizes she is going to finally lose him she breaks down on him and lets him in, but is it ever really that easy? Of course not; they still have things to work out between each other, like Annika’s relationship with Dev. Which Creed can’t stand at all!! Also, there is something big we learn about Dev, Oz and Creed. Oz has such a big heart and we see just how much he loves Dev in this book.
So if you haven’t read this one yet you definitely are missing something. It’s worth reading through the second one just to get to Wyatt and Faith’s story!!
