Tempest’s Gift

Elemental Challenges #3

by Robin Leigh Miller

Christmas should have been an easy, relaxing holiday for Brian Burk. A time to spend with good friends and put his plan to seduce the hot tempered, sexy Tempest Proctor into action.

Sometimes Mother Nature pokes a sharp stick into plans and deflates them. Brian has had his hands full trying to keep roads clear and repair damaged buildings due to the strange weather pattern that settled itself over the county. Strong winds have been wreaking havoc and Brian suspects Tempest Proctor knows something about it.

Being the guardian of the winds, she should be able to rescue the town. Except he finds her standing in the middle of a dark road with no coat and half frozen muttering to the blustering skies. Brian plops her into his truck and hauls her sexy ass to his home wanting answers and she isn’t going anywhere until he gets what he wants.

Tempest Proctor lost control of her element. Her beloved winds won’t respond and they’re throwing the mother of all temper tantrums. On top of that strange things are happening to her. Steamy, erotic dreams plague her every night. That alone wouldn’t really bother her but, the dreams feature the one and only Brian Burk. The one man she’s ever held any interest in. Add to that the painful tearing sensation inside her body from her elements power, she can’t think straight.

When Brian finds her standing in the middle of the storm and takes her to his home. Her strange life spirals out of control. Her element has decided she and Brian shall come together. Tempest on the other hand isn’t going to be forced into a relationship. Encasing them in a virtual snow globe and refusing to allow them to leave until they bond, Tempest is forced to face her feelings for Brian and her fear of passing along her gift. She soon discovers some gifts are meant to be shared and the sharing turns out to be the best part.

Reviews

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Review: Tempest is restless and frustrated. Her gifts as elemental guardian over the winds are out of control. Not only are her gifts not listening to her but they seem to be conspiring to keep her and childhood friend Brian together. Even though they have always bickered or swapped jabs, there has always been an underlying attraction between them. The storm’s fury keeps them prisoners within Brian’s home and unleashes the hidden passion Tempest and Brian have each denied. Fighting her element in one thing but Tempest now fights her own desires that could bring danger and heartache to her and to Brian. How can she battle her gifts and Brian without losing herself?

Tempest’s Gift is a fun and tantalizing story of magic, mayhem, and romance that will delight the reader. Tempest and Brian’s characters have depth and a passion that began years ago and cumulates into the fierce storm of passion they now face. Their battle of will provides an exciting adventure in this well-written story by Robin Leigh Miller and I look forward to reading her other stories in the Elemental Challenges series. Enjoy!

[CoffeeTimeRomance andMore · Rating 4 out of 5]

Here is another winner in the Elemental Challenges series by Robin Leigh Miller! Set in the few days before Christmas, the description of the intense blizzard Tempest fought to tame is bone-chilling. The story is fast-paced and the unity of purpose, shown by the sisters, makes it outstanding. As the group banters with and teases each other, they play pivotal roles in helping Tempest come to terms with and accept Brian as her true mate. The sex scenes between Brian and Tempest were gloriously rendered and moving with an uncommon depth of feeling that I find sadly lacking in most romantica. This is a short, scalding read that is sure to leave readers replete and content yet eager for the next round.

Caution: Contains graphic sexual content that may not be suitable for readers under 17.
