Firefly Hollow #6
Stormking Road
This book is a romance. It’s a man + woman = love story. Insta-love? No. Impertinence? Yes. Sex within the first few chapters? Um, no (that comes later). Steamy tension building? Oh, yeah. And lots of interfering family members with good intentions.
Sydney Campbell Gibson is all grown up now. Divorced and mostly over it, she returns home to Hazard, Kentucky, ready to get on with her life. She wants a husband, a family. What she has is a new job with a man who didn’t want to hire her. As if that weren’t mortifying enough, she has a crush on her boss, has had for years. She even kissed him when she was nineteen, but then she ran away.
As for Sawyer Evans? He’s divorced, as well. Retired from the state police, he’s set up shop as a private investigator, and he’s up to his eyeballs in paperwork with no one to turn to for help. Sawyer’s way too old for Sydney--his opinion, not hers--regardless of the fact that she’s a fully grown woman whose attractiveness he can’t deny. She’s definitely no longer the surly teenager he nearly arrested twice, as much as he almost wished she was. Besides, her family would never approve, even if he and Sydney could move past his inability to have children.
But then there’s this chemistry that starts burning between them. And suddenly neither of them is sure of anything anymore except their growing need for one another.
*This book also contains the bonus 25-page short story “Archer’s Cat.”
“Stormking Road” is the sixth book in the Firefly Hollow series, romances with paranormal elements related to Appalachian folklore. Other books in the series include “Firefly Hollow,” “Butterfly Lane,” “Dragonfly Creek,” “Cattail Ridge,” and “Cricket Cove.”

How I feel when I read one of T.L. Haddix Firefly Hollow books?
and I normally don't search out romance books.
The Campbell family is like coming home. For me it's like eating mac-n-cheese in your favorite pjs while sipping a big glass of wine. I love these characters. I even catch myself thinking they are real while in their stories. I so should be part of that family..I'll behave. Well, sorta.
I have only read the first book in the series Firefly Hollow but I had no problem at all catching up with what was going on in the family. I do want to go back and read the other books though because they is juicy I'm sure.
The book blends just the right amount of magic into them without taking the whole idea over the top. Sydney's gift is that she sometimes can heal people but it was a small part of her character-now Sawyer-pure flipping yum. (Retired police officer-I'd be a badge bunny too if my hubby didn't have the uniform)
I do have to say something about this author though. She gifted me this book-not in exchange for a review. She just is awesome like that. She is one of my Goodread friends that I could be friends with in real life. That did not change my review at all. I loved this book. You guys know I is a bitch with the stars. :P

I can always expect a solid, character-driven read from Ms. Haddix. I have loved the journey of this series from the start and I love the Campbell clan more and more with each book.
This story picks up about 20 years after Cricket Cove and is the first to focus on one of Sarah and Owen's grandchildren - Sydney. We got to know Sydney as a precocious 5 year old in Cattail Ridge, which focused on Sydney's mother and father - Emma and Archer. I have to admit I was disappointed when I first learned this book was about Sydney rather than the last of the Campbell siblings, Rachel. But Haddix did a wonderful job with the time jump and I was pleased how things had played out. (I have a feeling Rachel's book will be coming and it will be interesting to see the focus on someone a little later in life).
Anyway, back to Sydney. After going through a bit of a rebellious phase as a teenager, getting married and going through a nasty divorce, Sydney returns home to Hazard where she starts working for retired police officer and current PI, Sawyer, who happens to be good friends with the family. Now if you thought Logan was too old for Amelia, you ain't seen nothing yet. Sawyer is 46 to Sydney's 26. But interestingly, that isn't considered the biggest obstacle to their relationship, but rather Sawyer's sterility. After learning about that and Sydney's ability, it's not hard to guess where this was going to go - but it's still a fun ride regardless.
The Campbell family outdoes their selves this time with their meddling/match-making for these two. And I loved every minute of it. Those moments were usually when I would find myself laughing to myself or with a smile on my face. I just love the dynamic and emotion between them all.
I really liked learning about Noah in this one now that he's grown, and it feels like there was substantial set up here for a book about him, and it never felt forced. I cannot wait to read his book now!
I would have liked to see some of the ending resolutions flushed out a bit more. I felt like there was all this great, sincere set-up for how Sydney would have a hard time trusting a man, but then there was nothing about that at the end. I also would have liked more from Sawyer concerning his capitulation toward relationships and marriage.
All in all though a great addition to the Firefly series and, as always, I look forward to the next!

October 8, 20172.5 stars as it's just not my kind of book
I should know by now that book series about families is Not My Thing. You can bet that 20% at least will be taken up with The Story So Far plus a Where Are They Now? I prefer my books to concentrate on the MCs, and keep secondary character involvement restricted to driving forward the plot, and Stormking Road is just not that kind of book.
It's also - at least in the first third - very much of the Tell Don't Show school. Any dialogue is exposition-heavy, and I very nearly DNF'd after Chapter 3/4. However, the story picked up a little pace after that: May-December romances have always got conflict built-in. There are also a couple of great wannabe-OW put-downs by the h.
Ultimately, the story lost me as Sydney's . It feels like lazy plotting.

How odd!
So I was drawn in by the unusual blurb but ended up confused by what genre I was reading.
On the face of it this is a straightforward small-town romance between Sydney Gibson, a 26 year old woman, and Sawyer Evans, the 46 year old man she has had a crush on since she was six years old. She comes back to the small town she grew up in after a devastating divorce. Not needing money, she does need a job to keep her busy so her father suggests she help Sawyer with his fledgling private investigations business.
Sawyer used to be a policeman and has the dubious honour of having arrested Sydney as a teenager, he remembers a rebellious teenager and is shocked at the young sophisticated woman she has become. Despite their mutual attraction he tries to hold back because: a) he's her boss; b) he's 20 years older than her; c) he's friends with her father and grandfather; and d) he has some rare incurable sterility so he could never give her children.
I quite liked the romance, it was a slow burn and there was some good banter, especially between Sydney and various women who drape themselves all over Sawyer.
But ...
Sydney and her family all have special powers. Yep, special powers. Now this is the sixth book in the series, I haven't read any of the rest so I'm not sure whether the other books are more or less woo-woo than this one, but this just seemed odd. Sydney has some odd healing power, they think she may have cured her aunt's cancer when she was younger, one of her cousins can see/ speak to the dead and other relatives are different kinds of shifters. As far as I could see this was just an excuse to abracadabra an insurmountable obstacle (can you guess what it might be?). I didn't get it. I also thought it was odd that they all had different powers - surely genetics would suggest they all had the same power or manifestations of the same power?
There were also a couple of scenes which crossed a line for me. I don't mind rough sex between consenting adults but when one person uses it to express sadness by biting, pinching, hair-pulling etc and it is out of the ordinary that actually raises red flags for me. Expressing emotion through violence? Not acceptable. The other scene is where Sydney and Sawyer have sex before meeting his ex-wife - as I read that scene I thought if it were written about anyone other than the heroine it would have been seen as trashy and tacky - so why is it okay for Sydney to do/ think that?
If those two scenes had been written differently and there were no special woo-woo powers I would have liked this book a lot more.

3 Stars.
The Good:
• Sawyer's character
• Archer's cat
The Bad:
• No spark, just friendship
• Her brothers
The Book:
This one didn't hit me as hard as the other books in this series did, maybe I'm just getting burned out from reading about the Campbell clan because ever since I read Firefly Hollow I just kept continuing with the series. An easy thing to do as I enjoy T.L. Haddix's writing, but I didn't feel an attraction between these two. It felt a lot more like friendship than love, they supported each other a lot & leaned on each other, like when there was the news about Eli & then about Sawyer's father, but it wasn't anything special to me. I sort of enjoyed seeing Sydney grow up but she changed from this happy little girl to a bit of a troublemaker as she got older, I guess I just would've liked her to have kept that innocence a bit. Even though what her ex-husband did made her that way & I can understand that to a point but not in the way that it would change her so much. Though I did like Sawyer's character, his personality & how even-keeled he was, was nice & probably were what helped me through the book a little. Also, bringing Sydney's brothers (from Ted's side) into it, seemed odd & out of place. They were there for, like, a chapter then gone away. I get that they might be setting up for Molly's book but it felt a little disjointed. I feel like the purpose of this book was to set up for Rachel, Molly & Eli's books. The best part that I liked about this book was Archer's cat & how he got his mountain lion back, that was so exciting to me, I could've done a happy dance. I was wondering if it would ever happen but when his book ended I thought it wouldn't happen. But it did so all is right is in the Gibson household. Overall this book was okay, I wasn't thrilled with it but it was still a good read.

There are some books that create a warm glow in your heart as you read them. Some books where the author skilfully interweaves the lives of her characters in such a beautiful way that you cannot help but come to care deeply for each and every one of the people whom you encounter - this is definitely one of those kinds of books. I feel so sad that the book is finished and even though it is a long read, every single page is warranted.
The story is of Sydney and Sawyer and how they come together after overcoming a whole slew of emotional and familial issues. Sydney is a divorcee in her late 20s who has returned home to live in the same area as her large and wonderful (and somewhat supernatural) family. She meets again with Sawyer who is 20 years her senior and is an old friend of the family as well as someone that Sydney had a crush on in her teens. Sawyer was a police officer for 20 years but has since retired and now has an investigative agency. Sydney starts to work for him in an administrative role and the story takes off from there. I won't ruin the surprise but I will say that the relationship develops slowly but steadily and it is filled with a lot of amusing dialogue between the main characters. Sydney is no drooping flower and she stands up for herself and Sawyer is a wonderful hero. I would strongly encourage anyone to read this book.
This book was very gratefully received as a review copy via NetGalley.

After finishing an edge-of-your-seat thriller, I needed something light with a happy ending. This book was just what I needed. I really enjoyed reading Sydney and Sawyer's story. Sydney is a well adjusted mid twenties woman who clearly loves her family and is very close to them. Sawyer is an early retired cop who turns 47 during the book. Though a 20 year age difference between them, which I was really iffy about at first, hey work very well together. I found the Appalachian myth/ legends sprinkled here and there interesting, though I felt they were added a bit hastily to make the book an urban fantasy or paranormal. I didn't feel there was enough of a conflict for the couple to overcome, which is why I didn't rate this four stars. If they'd have better communication, they would've gotten over the age difference hurdle wining a few chapters, and the other conflicts in the story were minor enough not to be a major plot point. Though this is technically #6 in the series, the author does a nice job of including past information without being boorish so reading the previous books is not needed to read this one. The author left me interested enough for me to want to search out the other books in the series.

3/3
Sydney and Sawyer’s story is beautiful, but the whole twenty-year-gape was a little too much for me, or at least the way the story was portrayed didn’t convinced me nor made me connect with their couple or chemistry.
In this book, the magical touch didn’t work as well as the others previous books I’ve read… Maybe because of this book in particular or maybe because I should have waited a little between books (I’ve being reading several in a row, writing a review on my notepad as I was reading them…), maybe I should have stopped a little and read others books for a while… I really couldn’t say why the magical side didn’t work for me in this book.
And yes, I’ve already said it for the previous books: KATHY (book 10, the book I’ve read in the first place) is still my absolute favorite in the series. And the less paranormal one, now that I’m thinking about it.
Still, this was a great reading, I totally recommend it, and the whole series in general, because of the saga’s family, and of course, the writing.

*I voluntarily read this book. All opinion stated are solely my own and no one else's*
3.5 -4 stars
I haven't read the previous books in this series but I didn't let it deter me from giving this one a go.
The Campbell family was big, warm, supportive and let's not forget meddling - but all in a good way.
Sydney and Sawyer had a slow burn romance. I have to admit, sometimes I felt like smacking their heads together - these two were so frustrating especially, when they tip toe around each other for most of the story. However, they were cute and I enjoyed their bantering and their undeniable spark.
The shifter/Sydney's gift aspect of the story was relatively small, unexpected and I wasn't too certain whether it actually worked and I'm still left undecided on that point.
This story was very slow paced - a bit too slow for my taste - to the point it felt like it was dragging but I'm glad I persevered.
I enjoyed this book - it was sweet, fun with just the right amount of heat to keep things interesting.

A thoroughly enjoyable read in which left me eager to read more in the series, as well as knowing it will most likely be reread in the future. This had a slow burn romance, where the characters get to know each other well before intimacy. Though the pacing was rather slow, it worked in this book. I normally have little patience for slow paced books, yet this one held my attention full on. This book is nice length, and tied up each others pasts very nicely, as well as leaving the reader eager to see the next stories of a few family members. I liked the low key paranormal element that was in the book. Overall, a great story. *I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and this is my voluntary and honest review.

Amazing, fun, and interesting. Who doesn't love a sexy older man and a feisty young woman romance? The beginning for Sydney and Sawyer started many many years ago. A family friend and a young girl that grows to have a crush on him, the girls returns home a single woman ready to try and start something with him. Will he forgo their age difference and embrace true love, or will stubbornness grab hold and make true love disappear. Thank you NetGalley and T.L. Haddix for allowing me to read this book and write a honest review.

Second chance at love romance
This is the first book in the Firefly Hollow series that I've read. While the book mostly works as a stand alone there is a really big cast of characters whose relationships were developed in the previous books so on occasion I felt I was missing some of the nuances. That being said Sydney and Sawyer were a well written couple. I loved seeing the evolution of their relationship. The plot moved along with interesting events that kept my interest.

This series, Firefly Hollow) keeps getting better and better. I think this one, book 6, is my favorite so far. With just a hint of magic and paranormal the story flows and encompasses the entire Campbell family. Sydney is moving home, she is ready to accept her divorce and find her place in life back in Firefly Hollow. She is also intent on seeing if her first true love, Sawyer Evans is ready to accept her for what she is. Wonderful story that is more love than paranormal. Can't wait for the next installment.

This might have been the best one yet! I love Sydney & Sawyer together. I know the age difference might be an ick factor for some, but my grandma & grandpa had a 15 year age gap, so it didn't bother me. It was pretty evident that they were made for each other. It was wonderful to see them come together and help each other heal from wounds inflicted by selfish, awful people.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to read this book as the relationship was between a 26 yr old and a 46 year old...my daughter's age and my age...YIKES!! HOWEVER...this ended up being a great book. I was glad I decided not to skip over it. It does have descriptive sex scenes.

This story was a solid like for me. The characters were colorful, varied, and interesting. The movement and timing were good. I got a little lost in some spots, but I was still able to get a great takeaway regarding the main protagonists.
I liked the story enough to want to read other books in the series.

Better and better
Once again, a strong Campbell family novel. I love this family. Love becomes a compelling thread in the family as this family grows larger and the parents are determined to see their children happy. I love that.

The most important thing to everyone is love and this book has it. The characters are strong and real, with their own faults. This is a wonderful series.
