Taken By Storm




Let me just start off that I am so stinking happy that this book finally came out.  That was a long but WORTH it wait.

Maddie returns to MJ's grandfather's house where her father works.  Maddie is engaged to another man sort of.  She comes back to think about it and decided if she really wants to marry him. She has been gone for over a year.  She was not expecting to deal with MJ or the truth as to why she left him.  Maddie is forced to deal with her feelings for MJ.  She is pulled to him like its her last breath no matter how hard she tries to fight it.  Enzo Rocha reminds her that she is to stay away from MJ or her father will suffer the consequences if she does not comply.  No matter how much she loves MJ and wants a life with him she protects her father the only parent that loves her. 

I fell in love with the story of MJ and Maddie.  How can you not. Childhood friends turning into lovers.  Who doesn't like that stuff?   We learn a lot about there childhood and have both POV's from them.  We also get to see Rachel and Merrick, and oh how I love me some Merrick.  We don't get much insight on Merrick and Rachel's relationship but then again the book is not centered around them.  They do however come together to get MJ away from Enzo as soon as possible.  Merrick tells him he did not know about him or he would have come to him sooner.

Enzo Rocha (The Old Man) is a bastard.  That man needs to go down and sleep with the fishes.  The shit that he pulls to keep EVERYONE in the dark is endless.  I mean what the fuck is his problem?  Why does everyone do as he demands?  He is a BASTARD.  

So the secret that he is black mailing Maddie with has got to be really big.  So big that he can scare the shit out of Maddie to keep her away from MJ.  He does not love anyone and for some reason his excuse is to make sure that MJ's future is taken care of.  REALLY!!!  Because when we find out the BIG secret and (believe me it was a good one) it makes me wonder what other shenanigans does this asshole have up his sleeve.


MJ dear dear MJ.  This boy has some serious feelings.  Boy can you feel them too.

1. He loves deeply

2. He hates Enzo Rocha (don't we all)

3. He wants to his dad even though he knows that Merrick knows nothing of him

4. He is a fighter.

5. He goes after what he wants

6. He is forgiving

7. Did I mention he is HOT.

MJ tries desperately to get Maddie back.  She is the only person that he loves.  He is angry with her as well he does not know why she left but he knows that it has to be something big for her to have left.  He BEGS her to tell him and she wont.  He is so broken over this.  Then in a heated moment he find her engagement ring and kind of takes it.  He is so over the edge with this, but has hope that she will break off the engagement.   He takes the ring with him to Turtle Tear and she follows him there to get it back.

As they all stay on the Island, MJ is visiting with Merricks sister and her husband.  We find out a lot of secrets as they surface and more people have betrayed Merrick and MJ than we thought.   MJ is fighting to win Maddie back more than ever now.  He will get her back.  He will not fail.


"What did I do wrong?" he whispered.  "What made you leave me?"

She felt the slow burn behind her eyes and couldn't stop it. Tears gathered, blurring her vision.  She blinked hard and his finger traced one down her cheek.

"Tell me," he urged.

The BIG secret was........................What, really noooo I did not see that. Seriously, wait how much more can this situation get screwed up?  There were people involved that I did not think would be involved.  

Let's not forget those that knew of this that have betrayed Merrick for MANY MANY years.  Why would they do that?  Is there more to tell or are they just that bad.  

I am going to leave you with that and I hope that you buy Kelli's Book because it is that good and if you have not read the other two books in this series then get with the program and read.
