When ACRO special agent Wyatt Kennedy meets Faith Black and has a one-night-stand with her, he never would have believed that she will play such an important role in his mission to destroy ITOR's weather machine. Faith is also after the machine, because someone holds her sister in exchange for the machine. Will they find a way to get their feelings for each other and their missions under one hat?

SEDUCED BY THE STORM is the third installment of the very successful ACRO series. The author team Sydney Croft deliver another keeper with this book and it can be read as a stand-alone. Although I bet you will hurry to the next bookstore to get the other books, because the books are addictive and the ACRO fever grabs you very fast.. The book so captivated me that I wasn't able to put the book down. The writing style of the author team is just perfect, because normally you see which scene is written by which author, but this isn't so with Larissa Ione and Stephanie Tyler. I can promise you that you will immensely enjoy this book, but I warn you to keep a box of Kleenex near you, because you are going to need them. SEDUCED BY THE STORM is one of the rare books that moved me to tears.

Just a small warning that there are some homoerotic scenes in the book, that might not be something for everyone's taste.

Neither Wyatt nor Faith are flawless and perfect, but that is what makes them so lovable and what makes them realistic. Both of them have to come a long way when it comes to trusting others, especially each other, but their progress is perfectly interwoven into the storyline. Faith is a real kickass heroine, who gives Wyatt a run for his money and doesn't make his life easier, more like the opposite.

You really don't want to miss this masterpiece of paranormal erotic romance, so hurry and get your copy today.

I loved this book. This is about Wyatt and Faith who are both operatives on diffrent sides. They meet in a bar and have hot sex and when he is going to leave he touches her face and tells her he wishes she would remember him tomorrow because he has a sexual power that the women forget him the next day. He sees her again and she remembers him, oh its true love lol. But I like how she has other character stories going but Wyatt and Faith are still what this book is about and how they struggle to trust and love each other. There are some heart renching moments in this book. More from Creed and Anika which were awesome. Oh poor Dev, that all Ill say, cant give to many secrets away. Don't have to have read the other 2 in the series, but I definatly would recomend because they are just as good.
This series really is getting better with each book. You get such in dept characater development and then the on goings of Creed and Anika Yum!

Ex-Navy SEAL and ACRO agent Wyatt Kennedy is sent on a highly dangerous mission to retrieve and destroy a weapon of mass destruction held by the enemy. Wyatt is an extraordinarily powerful telekinetic and possesses seductive powers which makes him irresistible to any woman. Wyatt is an extremely conflicted and I felt a lonely character who like the other `specialized' operatives has experienced ridicule and betrayal at the hands of his family. The thing that really made me love Wyatt was his sense of honour and duty to those in need.

Faith Black, a powerful psychic is sent on a mission by her covert agency (also one of the good guys) to steal the same weapon that Wyatt is after. Faith is cunning, ruthless and has been trained as a covert spy from a young age. There is a personal issue at stake for Faith on this mission that adds a spectacular plot twist and climax to the story.

The sensuality that erupts between Wyatt and Faith can only be described as nuclear grade, and explodes off the pages from their first meeting. Their romance is complicated not only because they are both on missions with orders from separate agencies, but also because they are extremely driven people accustomed to being in total control.

Remy and Haley make appearances in this story and I can tell you the scenes conceived surrounding this couple are off the charts exciting. I could almost hear the thunder and feel the wind whirling around me. (lol)

Seduced by the Storm ties a couple of subplots surrounding fascinating supporting characters created in the first two novels. Sydney Croft has been quite clever in opening new developments amongst the ACRO `family' that cannot help but encourage those of us who are devoted readers to be curious as to what the next `mission' will be.

In the third installment of the exciting ACRO (Agency for Covert Rare Operatives) series by Sydney Croft we meet Wyatt Kennedy, one of ACRO's special agents. Wyatt possesses the gifted powers of telekinesis and a sexual mojo so strong that it will drive any person around him into some highly sexual behavior. The only bad or good thing about his sexual gift is anyone who spends the night with him will never remember the event or him the next time they meet. Wyatt has been sent into deep cover by ACRO on a mission where he is surrounded by ACRO's enemy, Itor a rival agency that uses their power for bad. Itor currently possess the "weather machine" which could steer or strengthen any existing storms which in the wrong hands could be deadly. For this mission Wyatt is so deep under cover that most of the people at ACRO thinks he is dead. His mission is to destroy the weather machine before Itor uses it to create storms so deadly that causalities could be high.

Faith Black is also interested in the weather machine but for reasons other then destroying it. Someone has her twin sister and is demanding she retrieves the weather machine from Itor in exchange for her sister. Faith is also a special agent who has special biokinetic capabilities. Faith hasn't seen her sister in years. They were separated after her sister was taken away at a young age.

Wyatt and Faith meet up one night after Faith ducks into the bar to avoid being followed by an enemy. After successfully escaping the enemy with Wyatt's help Faith and Wyatt spend a night of hot, steamy and dangerous sex. Thinking they'll never meet again Wyatt is surprise to find Faith on the oil rig where he is deep undercover the next day. He is even more shocked to realize that Faith remembers everything from the night before.

Where to begin? I loved, loved, and loved every moment and every page of this book. I inhaled all 368 pages of SEDUCED BY THE STORM in one sitting. This is one of the top 5 on my paranormal series list. The dynamic duo of Larissa Ione and Stephanie Tyler has done it again in this third installment of the ACRO series. I think this is the best one yet of the series. Everything fell into place nicely with the world building and character growth. It was great to see some previous characters making appearances. This book also ties up storylines that have been progressing through the previous two books which the fans will appreciate.

Fans "be warned" this one will make you cry. So have tissues handy. The sexual chemistry between Wyatt and Faith was off the charts. I mean from the first meeting until the end these two will keep you hot and bothered and so will the many other storylines. Wyatt and Faith were flawed which I loved. They weren't perfect which made them perfect for each other. The fact that they have reasons not to trust one another definitely drove this storyline. It was done nicely without any unnecessary complications.

Faith is another kick ass heroine who holds her own against Wyatt. Croft does not do wilting flower heroines which I appreciate nor are the heroines too stupid to live in my opinion. Wyatt is another strong alpha male who just radiates strength, sexiness, and smarts. We also meet some new characters that have caught my eye which I'm hoping we'll eventually get stories for them sometime in the future.

Two strong and highly trained special agents on a mission to retrieve the same deadly machine lead this reader on an intensely, exciting, sexy, fast paced, and action pack adventure. Will they stop Itor, will Faith save her sister, and can they trust each other? You'll have to run out and pick up this book to find out. Pick up a box fan too because Sydney Croft writes some freaking great sex! I highly recommend this series. You don't necessarily have to read them in order but things would definitely make more sense if you do get the previous two books which are RIDING THE STORM and UNLEASHING THE STORM. There is an ACRO story in HOT NIGHTS, DARK DESIRES Anthology but the storyline doesn't connect with the rest of the books.

Third in the ARCO series is about Wyatt and others. So far, I believe this is my favorite. Really hot. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Great price and fast shipping. I would and have ordered from them again. Great company to do business with. Books were in excellent condition.

This isn't normally my kind of series, but WOW!!! This book is my favorite so far of the ACRO Books. It has the perfect blend of suspense,action and of course sexuality. I am looking forward to the next set of books in this series beginning with Taming The Fire!!!

I admit...I am addicted to this series...The world building is superior....The cross over in the stories of our other characters is wonderful...

Wyatt is our Acro agent in this book....He meets his match with Faith....But the interaction with Dev and Oz....Ani and Creed....Remy and our other friends make it even more enjoyable...

This is a MUST READ!!!!

This series keeps getting better and better with each book. Remy and Haley's story (book #1) was just ok. I really didn't feel that much of a connection between those two but have seen it more in this book. I thought they were really rushed and not detailed enough in their own book. Ender and Kira (book #2) were a little bit more fleshed out and pulled you into the series more. Still not a perfect connection but better than book one. Wyatt and Faith were so much more developed and I felt more connected than any of the other characters in the previous two books. SBTS packed so much into this one book and kept me glued to the story. This is by far the best book in the series so far.

Another reason why I liked this book so much more was because it featured Creed and Annika a lot more than the previous books and I LOVE these two! These two have been so hot from book one and I wasn't really happy to hear they weren't getting their own book but I have to say they were featured a lot in Seduced by the Storm and I couldn't have been happier! LOVE THEM!!! I hope they're featured more prominently in the books to follow. I also really like Dev and Oz so was a little upset with what happened in SBTS. I'm hoping somehow that will be corrected going forward, however they can do that.

Wyatt works for ACRO, he is a telekinetic, and their sworn enemy is Itor. Wyatt is on a fact finding missing that just turned into a destroy one. He is out to destroy the weather machine, from the first book, Itor has. While on the main land Wyatt meets Faith,a biokenetic. Wyatt's gift emits pheromones, they have a side effect of erasing memory of him. So while Wyatt is on the oil rig, with the weather machine, he runs into Faith. Faith remembers everything that happened on their night together. Unable to ignore their attraction to each other they play a dangerous game hiding from the Itor boss on the rig. Faith and Wyatt are on the same mission for different reasons. Faith runs a smaller outfit of supernaturals in England I think. Wyatt and Faith fight together and against each other in a struggle to achieve their goals.

This is a very fast paced book. Faith and Wyatts relationship is complicated, but sweet. I also love the side stories with Annika and Creed, they are such a good match for one another. Just another in a line of great stories from Sydney Croft. Ione is an amazing story teller, add in Stephanie and you have a recipe for a fantastic paranormal erotic romance. This is an outstanding series for anyone into this genre.
