In Jenna Mills’ Midnight series surrounding the Fontenot / Robichaud family tragedies set in the Louisiana bayous, the author has threaded the mystery and disappearance of Camille Fontenot. Was she dead or alive? Here now, in SINS OF THE STORM, you have the dynamite and thrilling romantic suspense finale featuring the author’s trademark steamy bayou sensuality, answers revealing family secrets of treachery and betrayal, and an emotional redemption of lost souls. Years after her father’s murderer was arrested, Camille Fontenot, hiding and living as the award winning true-crime writer Cameron Monroe, is coming home. Her main purpose was to expose and publish the truth of what happened the night of the storm when her father was murdered. Camille wanted justice but also knew she had to avoid the one man who’d broken her heart, Sheriff Jacques Savoie. Jack, the man who’d always protected her, and if he was aware of the dangerous path she was treading as she searched for the truth, he would feel compelled to stop her. When they came face to face, both fought the emotions that broiled to the surface, both fought the demons of heart break – but neither could fight the passions that burst from within. Wow, talk about wounded souls, Camille’s emotions had been shredded. Witnessing her father’s murder at such an impressionable age had truly traumatized her. What was worse, was the fact that when she tried to tell people what she knew, no one truly believed her thinking them the ramblings of the traumatized child. Threatened and chased away by the person responsible for the crime, Cami had lived a life in exile away from close family ties, the home she loved and the childhood sweetheart she’d given her heart to. She wanted vindication for her father’s death and she vowed to see justice served. The author made this a truly emotional tale with both the leads. Cami realized she must keep her presence under wraps, knew how much it would hurt to see Jack again. What she hadn’t expected was to see was how broken in spirit he was, and how a tour of duty in Iraq along with his wife’s death had left him with both physical and emotional scars. Finally as Jack and Cami teamed up to forage out the truth of long ago, they began the path to rediscover not only the love they’d left behind but to heal each other’s scars from the blows life had dealt them. Mill’s writes a powerful and sensual tale as steamy as the Louisiana bayou. Her characters are richly detailed and the entire story packs an emotionally charged punch. Don’t miss the heart-wrenching reunion of Cami and her brother Gabe, but be forewarned to have some tissues handy. SINS OF THE STORM is both an exceptional stand-alone as well as a fitting finale to a fabulous series I highly recommend. Marilyn Rondeau – Reviewers International Organization (RIO) |
