Stories like this are what keep me coming back for more!
Small town setting, big focus on family, sweetly vulnerable but core-deep strong heroine insta-connecting to the protective and formidable alpha hero, and a heart-stealing war dog - mix all that together and you get an amazing story.
I was immediately caught up in the lives of the characters, feeling their desperation, loneliness, pain, but also their bond, love, and loyalty. The insta-connection between Skylar and Logan just worked perfectly, and when you add in the connection Logan felt to her brothers, fusing the family even tighter to Logan, you can't help but fall in love with everyone.
Find the joy, and it'll burn out the pain - this lesson was beautifully expressed and touched something deeper inside of me. That's something I love about Christina Smith's stories - she delivers nuggets of truth and wisdom and makes you pause to reflect and absorb the moment - both for the characters and in yourself as the reader.
If you want a story with a possessive alpha male, a darlin' heroine, a mystery to solve with all the dead bodies piling up, seeing hearts being healed, and the warm beauty of family in all the ways it comes, grab Storm Damage.
