Storm

by Jay Lang

After taking the fall for her former lover, Paisley Stewart comes out of a stint in prison only to stay in her childhood home on Vancouver Island, where memories of her homophobic childhood linger. To her relief, her parents plan to vacation in Florida for part of the summer, leaving her to take care of the rental cabins. However, the relief is short-lived. She has a the know-it-all Ivy Logan, a family friend and childhood enemy. Little do they realize that their friction is setting off sparks, and a summer romance blooms.
However, their happiness doesn't last. Ghosts from Paisley's past emerge, and what was once an idyllic dream becomes a living nightmare. The girls find themselves in a desperate fight for their lives, and Paisley must decide-how far will she go to save the woman she loves?

[Jude Pittman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jay Lang really gets into the gritty parts of this story and she tells it with a realism that brings her characters and the events fully alive. You need to be a strong reader to get into the depth of this story. There are parts that will bring you to tears and other parts that will have you laughing out loud. Lang has a talent for "telling it like it is" and this is another of her excellent LGBTQ novels.

[Bonny Beswick · Rating 3 out of 5]

Once again, the author's strength is in describing the moody, changeable, stunning Pacific Northwest. The essence of the story is enemies to friends to lovers, with a few backsteps along the way. Coupled with a surprising twist (and it's not easy to surprise me!), the book swiftly came to a satisfying conclusion.
To me, this fits well within the LGBTQ Romance genre
