Give me MORE Westmoreland, December 27, 2004
This review is from: Riding The Storm (Silhouette Desire) (Mass Market Paperback)
Firefighter Storm Westmoreland, or the Perfect Storm as he's called, has a reputation amongst the ladies. He has the ability to make a woman's fantasy a reality. His rep also includes that of not "doing" the same woman twice.
Jayla Cole, the daughter of Storm's late mentor, is tired of looking for a Mr. Right that does not exist. She's long given up on the notion of finding him and living happily ever after. What she wants is a baby without the burden of the child's father.
So what happens when the two find themselves in New Orleans staying at the same hotel? Will Jayla be just another name to add to Storm's ever growing list? Has Jalya found Mr. Right in Storm? As always, Mrs. Jackson has done a wonderful job again! Eager to see which of the remaining Westmoreland men is next.

Beware, the Storm has finally arrived., March 4, 2005
This review is from: Riding The Storm (Silhouette Desire) (Mass Market Paperback)
Brenda Jackson's "Storm" has definitely arrived! For Jayla Cole, her Storm has been brewing for 10 years every since she met firefighter, Storm Westmoreland, when her father, Fire Chief Adam Cole brought him home one evening. Jayla has been smittened since day one. Now 10 years later, Jayla struggles to keep the Storm at bay unaware that Storm is also struggling with his feelings for her. To Storm, Jayla is his ex-boss' baby daughter and Storm promised Adam he would keep watch out for his daughter. Although, Storm is aware that Jayla is no longer a baby or the young teenager he met all those years ago, he still struggles with his feelings.
Their chance meeting in New Orleans, the City of Excitement, is the start of a new beginning. The gales slowly stirs and gradually brews into a roaring storm, one that envelopes them both -- Jayla falls through the "eye of the storm" and Storm is there to catch her when she lands -- right into his arms.
Storm Westmoreland is what every woman dreams of and that is what Jayla is afraid of. She knows that the women refer to Storm as "The Perfect Storm." She does not want to be another "limb" hurled through the wind and get caught in the storm. However, when the winds of love start stirring, there is no stopping the gusts, which burst into an all powerful feeling of love, not only for Jayla, but for Storm as well.
Ms. Jackson has really done another wonderful job. She also keeps us informed into the lives of the other Westmoreland clan -- Dare, Thorn, Stone, Chase and the newly found Westmorelands. I am sure there are other stories along the way. We are looking forward to them, Ms. Jackson.

In the eye of the storm..., January 23, 2005
This review is from: Riding The Storm (Silhouette Desire) (Mass Market Paperback)
First there was Delaney. Then came Dare, Thorn and Stone. And now there's Storm. Who or what am I talking about you ask? I'm referring to none other than the Westmoreland siblings featured in the Westmoreland family series written by the highly acclaimed author Brenda Jackson, of course.
Storm, like his brothers before him, never believed that he would fall prey to the fatal shot of Cupid's arrow. But when love calls, you have to answer. While in New Orleans on a business trip, Storm runs into Jayla Cole, the now grown-up daughter of his deceased boss. Sparks fly, and before he knows it, Storm's attitude about love and happiness takes flight on the gossamer wings of love, leaving him a changed (for the better) man.
It would seem that connecting stories would get a little stale and old, but this is not the case with the stories created by Mrs. Jackson. Even though you know what the outcome of each book will be, Mrs. Jackson manages to pen a tale that will tug at your heartstrings and if you don't have one already, will make you wish for a man just like the ones described in her many novels. Each one, including Storm Westmoreland, is sexy as sin, fiercely protective of all that is near and dear to their hearts and loyal to the love of their lives. Although a mere 192 pages, RIDING THE STORM was a well-written, passionate, and romantic read that die-hard Brenda Jackson fans, such as myself, are sure to treasure and talk about for many days, weeks, months and years to come.
