First let me say that I was supposed to be reading Eye of the Storm for the TBR Challenge for November 2008, which is the challenge I've been doing for a year now -- I think. We call it TBR Challenge of the Month. But I've been busy, at the times, trying to reach my 50th books for the 50 Challenge Books - to read 50 books by the end of the year. So I waited for a awhile to read this book. And now, I'm playing catch up. Not only didn't I do the TBR Challenge for November, I also didn't do the TBR Challenge for December. And now, we have the TBR Challenge for January of 2009 too. So I will be catching up doing all three, I hope to do it in times before the end of January.

Here are my thoughts/review on Eye of the Storm for November Challenge of the Month.

I really enjoy the book. It was lot of non stop action from first page to the last. A edge of your seat action with exciting adventure. Both main characters were strong, trying to keep themselves safe at same time trying to find out who the shooter were, until the end. I like that they were able to focus on the keeping themselves alive from everything that happen, even though the chemistry and the love they have between each other are still there. And the divorce paper have only been signed few days ago, but the ink have not dried yet. So it was interesting to see how they reacted when they interacted with each other. I think reader will love Simone, as she is strong heroine who got your back. Simone is comprehend in how she competent with her skills to know what do in bad situation. Reese try to take it all in, when he learn of Simone secret past. Everything changed when he discover the life he had with Simone was lied. But one thing that hadn't changed, for sure is that he still in love with Simone. I also like Martin who was the smart brother and how he was able to handle the situation between his brother Reese and Simone divorce. And then become "help" through all the danger shooting at them :)

It was a fast read and obvious to find out who killer was. But it was enjoyment, exciting and at same time..romantic too. It well written, well written in depth. The story flow really smoothly. I enjoy it and I think you will too!

I'm going to buy more of Dee Davis's books and hope the next one is as good as Eye of the Storm

Grade : 5 stars
