From Booklist
After her father is accused of treason, Katla Svensdottir promises him that she will do whatever it takes to save her brother Kali. Which means giving herself to one of the Earl Magnus’s men in order to prevent Kali from being killed. Once Katla discovers that the Earl relies on the prophecies of Gavin of Durness, otherwise known as the “Truthsayer,” she realizes Gavin can prove Kali’s innocence. The second installment in Brisbin’s paranormal-flavored, refreshingly different Scottish-set medieval romance trilogy serves up steamy passion and intense danger as the author effectively pairs up a man slowly being driven mad by his psychic gifts and the one woman who can save him. --John Charles

5.0 out of 5 stars
terrific romantic historical fantasy,
This review is from: A Storm of Pleasure (Storm Trilogy) (Paperback)
In 1098 on Gairsay Island, men loyal to the Earl Magnus demand Sven Rognvaldson and his son Kali come with them to face charges of treason. Sven draws his sword but is stabbed to death while his beloved daughter Katla Svensdottir watches in horror. Sven's last words to Katla is to take care of Kali. Realizing that the accuser Harold Erlendson wants the son as dead as the father he baited the father, she offers her body to keep her sibling safe. He is arrested and taken for trial to Birsay.
Katla goes to Orkney to obtain help from a Truthsayer. There she meets Gavin the recluse who is losing his mind to the voices rioting inside his head. He is stunned when she seems to soothe the beasts destroying his mind as he cannot hear her inner thoughts. They make a deal in which she stays with him in his cave and he will help her prove her brother's innocence. Neither expected to fall in love, but both fail to take that first risk of admitting how they feel. This is a terrific romantic historical fantasy starring two fascinating strong lead protagonists and a powerful support cast. The story line takes sub-genre fans to late eleventh century Orkney Islands off the Scottish coast as readers will believe they are there. With elements of the paranormal, a strong romance and a sense of time and place, readers will also appreciate the machinations of those in power; as Terri Brisbin provides a major light on the so-called dark Ages.

The Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth!,
This review is from: A Storm of Pleasure (Storm Trilogy) (Paperback)
Katla needs Gavin's (The Truthsayer) help to clear her brother's name. The Truthsayer comes closer to death after each session and the only relief he can find from his madness is with Katla. As time passes, they fall in love but not sure how the other one feels. Gavin is scared he may lose the girl of his dreams once the truth is revealed. Highly recommended read and one not to be missed.
