В прегръдката на бурята
Вили Фокнър и Бейн Скот се срещат за първи път като хазяйка и наемател в една усамотена вила на атлантическия бряг на САЩ. Чувството, внезапно породено между тях, е като връхлитащия тайфун Августа - нечакано, нежелано, но неудържимо и неизбежно. Природната стихия помага на Вили и Бейн да преосмислят живота си, ерозирал от спомени, и да открият колко много се нуждаят един от друг...

The hero Bain has rented out the heroine Willy's island cottage for some rest after he was seriously injured during an undercover operation. He takes out his frustration and surliness on Willy but she is not bothers but it and her very relaxed nature soon helps him relax. Willy finds herself drawn to Bain, and tries to help him as much as she can, which is sometimes met with Bain's irritation. Spending time with Bain makes Willy realise how lonely she has been in the last few years since her husband passed away. But as much as she enjoys being with Bain, she struggles to let herself go enough to give in to the passion between them. Bain realises that he is falling for Willy and, just as she helped him, vows to help her love again.
I found this book a little odd at first, especially when it comes to the authors way of describing (apparently the heroine walks as though she has "ball bearings in every joint", now I don't know about you but the mental image I get from that is very odd!). But the book is enjoyable, with a slightly different plot and it is interesting. I especially liked the heroine, she is written with a nice blend of sadness and looseness that works really well in the story. The very gradual nature of the relationship is fantastic, it adds a nice flow to the book.
I felt like I knew the two characters and was really cheering them on to find their HEA. Oh and in case you were wondering, the heroine's name is short for Wilhelmina, phew!

Spíš se to mělo jmenovat „Otravná líná Willy“.
s. 16 a začala uklízet talíře do dřezu vedle těch, které se v něm už nahromadily. Jednou denně se Willy přinutila je umýt
s. 5 v kuchyni leželo ve dřezu nádobí za dva dny
Nelogicky mění tykání/vykání.
Její první zasnoubení skončilo, když zjistila, že „její otec nabídl snoubenci finanční odměnu a každoroční prémii, když se s ní ožení.“ Aby tak ochránil svou jedinou dceru před lovci věna. To mi nepřipadá moc logické.
Na s. 104 se hrdina objevitel zaměřil na její prsa, aby zjistil, že tam pihy končí. Ale podle s. 123 je pihovatá až pod pás.
s. 148 že orkán se pohyboval rychlostí třiceti osmi kilometrů za hodinu. To tedy bylo dramatické.
