After the disappointment of the last several Johanna Lindsey books, I was very hesitant to read this one, despite it being about my favorite family series ever. Even the last three Malory novels were not that great, which almost made me think that perhaps Johanna Lindsey wasn’t writing them, and had employed a ghost writer instead.

I’m delighted to admit I might be wrong. Stormy Persuasion reminded me why I fell in love with the Malory family and why I’ve been reading Johanna Lindsey novels since I was in the 8th grade. Is it as good as the first Malory novels? No. But it’s way better than anything she’s published in the past 10 years or so, and definitely worth the purchase price.

I love how different the personalities of Jack (Jacqueline) and Judith are. Jack is exactly like James, bold, brash, and says exactly what’s on her mind, and definitely the leader of the two. She wears breeches and goes barefoot on board the ship, fences, and probably can sail the ship just as good as her father and uncles can. Judith is much more feminine, preferring to wear dresses even as she admits their impracticality aboard a ship, and she’s definitely the optimist of the two, preferring to think the best out of everyone. Judith tempers her cousin’s rash behavior, and tries to get Jack to think before she speaks or acts.

Nathan is a likeable hero. He’s been dealt a bad hand in life—his father was a smuggler and died when Nathan was in his early twenties, just after the two had a falling out. Nathan’s sister has also recently died, and he is now the guardian of her two young daughters.

I have always loved Johanna Linsey's writing, though her recent books were not up to her usual standards, but I did not give up on her and was rewarded with a very entertaining book. The Mallory's are one of my favorite family's in historical romances, so I was glad that I got to visit with them and catch up, not enough to disrupt the story so that was also a good thing. Nathan and Judith are a cute couple and their courtship progresses at a good pace, you get to see them getting to know each other a little and liking what they see, which was important because they each had preconceived notions of one an other. We have the added bonus of having a bit of adventure and danger beside the romance so that always good. The secondary characters play an important role in this story, Jack , Judith's cousin and best friend in particular because it seems she is going to have her own adventure, or so I hope! On an aside, if you decide to read this book which I recommend you do, when you are done go to the beginning of the series and get to know the Malory's to me the first 3 where the best, my personal favorite was James's story which is the 3rd book I think. Enjoy!

This book reads like the set up for the story of James Mallory's daughter Jack. The underlying love story between Tony's daughter and the supposed smuggler just doesn't have enough charm or information to carry the book forward. The book ends before Jack warns her father of the man who kidnapped her. Anthony Malory and his family really play bit parts in their own story.

Much closer to the Lindsey novels from long ago! However, it seems that so much time is spent and devoted to retelling history that it really took too much time away from the story between Judith and Nathan. Understanding that a little bit is necessary for readers who perhaps haven't come to know the Malory clan over the past 20-ish years, it still seemed excessive. I think it would be better to simply allude to the history rather than summarize it, and if the new readers care to learn the history, they can buy the books! ;)

It was nice though, to read two characters that did actually have a good deal of chemistry again. Three stars isn't quite enough, but four stars is just a little much. I do hope that the loose ends were left specifically for the purpose of the next Malory tale.

I've been a huge fan of the Malory books since I was a teenager, and was definitely looking forward to the new generations of Malory's. But as I'm older and a little more adjusted in what I enjoy in romance, I found Judith's POV to be slightly.. boring. I enjoyed the contrast between her and her cousin, Jack, but the romance aspect fell kind of flat for me.

But the one thing this book did was set up for future books in this generation, specifically Jacqueline Malory, which is one story that was incomplete in this novel and will hopefully be fleshed out in her own future novel. THAT book, I'm most definitely looking forward to. This one wasn't terrible, but I just didn't connect with Judith and felt that the novel itself was slightly underwhelming.

Boring. Had to drag myself through this vanilla coated drivel. No tension, no strong feelings, no chemistry. No action till the end and even THEN when the author had a chance to really build tension over something, the heroine's friend is kidnapped. Who cares. If the heroine was captured that would have helped. Instead she was buried beneath the sea of all the Malorys and Andersons and their benign discourse. Her character was never fleshed out and I didn't really get to know her. So, I didn't really like her. I don't recommend this book to anyone. Ugh.
