Once, Connor believed that his ability to see the future would grant him everything. Instead, it landed him in a prison of his own making. Summoned by the Lord of the Isles to serve as his counselor, Connor gains wealth and prestige, but with every vision, his own sight dims. Even so, Connor doesn't grasp the terrible consequences of his gift until he's wounded by a young woman who blames him for her family's massacre. Moira curses herself for failing to kill the Seer - especially when she learns her punishment is to be given to him as a slave. Far from the proud, arrogant tyrant she imagined, Connor is a tortured man with a dark sensuality that tempts her night after night. But freeing him from a strange power that is spiraling out of control will mean forsaking her vow and risking her heart for the one man she has sworn to destroy...

From Booklist
If Moira knew that other people were trying to kill Connor, she might not have stabbed him. Moira blames Connor, Lord Diarmid’s seer, for the death of her family, but her one and only attempt to avenge their murders with Connor’s blood is a failure. Diarmid is convinced Moira is connected to earlier attempts on his seer’s life, and when she is captured, he is determined to get the truth out of her. Although Connor doesn’t believe that Moira is part of the plot to kill him, she is the only woman whose passion can help ease the terrible price he pays for his visions. Which means Connor is not about to let Moira go, no matter what she says. Brisbin begins a captivating new trilogy set in medieval Scotland and adds a dash of the paranormal to her already boldly sensual and richly emotional brand of romance. --John Charles

This review is from: A Storm of Passion (Paperback)
Storm of Passion is a paranormal romance that works on many levels but the story does have a tendency to drag in the middle. The leads have a scorching relationship but not necessarily a romantic one until the last part of the novel.
When she was a teenager, Moira saw her family slaughtered. She survived by hiding and overheard the marauders say that the Seer had shown them where to find her village. Moira is filled with hatred and revenge and makes it her life mission to find the Seer and kill him. Moira is unlike many romance heroines, she is no maiden. She has quite literally used her body to discover the whereabouts of the Seer. She has no qualms about doing so either. The Seer is named Conner and he resides in a castle with a violent, angry Lord who uses his skill to enhance his own power. Conner is tormented by his visions and one way he escapes is through sexual encounters. This is in fact, how Moira and he first meet, when he mistakenly believes her to be a strumpet sent by the castle Lord. Moira and Conner have a very very passionate interlude. Moira though still harbors great hatred toward Conner and he perceives this but is unaware of its source. Their physical chemistry is undeniable but Moira distrusts Conner and blames him totally for her families' deaths. Her assassination attempt fails and lands her at his mercy. The tension in this book really comes from two sources; someone besides Moira wants Conner dead and Moira's struggle between hatred and compassion for the Seer. Moira is cold and almost emotionless at first. Her feelings tend to be dark and destructive and repetitive. Conner's feelings are well described, better than Moira's actually. Conner knows that Moira is unlike any other female he has bedded. Also he longs for his visions to cease as he realizes that they take a terrible toll on him physically and emotionally. The beginning and ending portions of this book move swiftly and are well paced but the middle sections slowed considerably. This was, I imagine, to allow the reader new insights into the characters outside of a quickly moving plot and it worked for Conner but not so much for Moira as her emotions tended to be exposed in high action scenes. The ending is good though and left an opening for sequels to follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars
super paranormal romance,
This review is from: A Storm of Passion (Paperback)
The seer sent killers to murder her and her family. The only survivor of the massacre, Moira swore vengeance and six years later her quest takes her to the camp of the Lord of the Isles Diarmid. His Counselor guiding the lord, Connor has visions that disturb him as he sees himself jailed in a luxurious prison yet also spending nights with an unknown beautiful female.
Moira plans to sleep with the seer before killing him. However, the night proves incredible and she fumbles her attempt to kill the seer. Instead only wounded Connor enslaves Moira. Over time she learns the secret price her captor pays for visions and begins to feel for Connor, but is it enough to overcome her loathing in order to forgive him and help him. This is a super paranormal romance that grips the audience the moment Connor sees the beautiful Moira for the first time and makes a bad assumption that his liege sent her. The story line is fast-paced as she uses him but fails to kill him so she becomes his prisoner instead. As their relationship changes the key remains constant throughout the exhilarating story line: readers and the hero wonder whether Moira can leave her hatred behind for her love of him.

A very dull book,
By Beatrice B "Beatrice B" (West Coast) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Storm of Passion (Kindle Edition)
I decided to read this book because it was a christmas present. Thinking it would be good, it wasn't. The book had way to much sex. Most of the book was either sex or was talking about sex. I like books where the books talk about other things besides sex. The book starts out explaining how Moira wants to avenge the Seer. This all came down to Connor (the Seer) ordered her family and villager's death. This caused her to have a tortured soul and pretty much wanted to kill Connor. Then came some sex scenes meant to explain that Connor could have any women he wanted when giving off this scent. During this time he had Moira who originally went to go to his room to get the way of the land. He then went into a frenzy to find her because she took away his pain. 2 months later, she comes back to his life by trying to kill him. She then is captured is almost tortured to death and comes back to him as his slave. Then it goes on with how he is able to gain her forgiveness, how the pain affects him, learning about himself through her, many sex scenes, the attempts on his life, the highlord using him for power, etc Overall, this book was not very good, and had to much sex!
