she wants a little adventure - Storms of Passion by Lori Power

Being a sailor myself from the coast of Nova Scotia, the author did her homework on the way the ocean works. The story is very well put together and kept me intrigued. I can hardly waikt for her next book. Clive Cussler would really enjoyed this book. Way to go for a first time author. Don’t ever give up.” Walter Henwood, Amazon CA

Description:

Vivian was tired of the day-to-day. Sure, life happens when you least expect it, but in her case, perhaps it needed a little push.

On a whim, Vivian books a ‘learn to sail’ vacation. Perhaps she’d have a little adventure, meet some interesting people.

Never did she expect to meet Tucker MacLean, former rescue swimmer, turned IT.

Never did she expect to fall so hard and so fast for a man who clearly wanted nothing to do with her.

Never did she expect to be caught in the storm of the century fighting for her life.

Back Cover:
Reading about romance and getting swept up in the adventure of those tales is no substitute for the real thing. On a whim, Vivian decides to do something she’s always wanted to do–learn to sail. Flying to the other side of the country, she unwittingly begins a quest to find her real self, the person she set up on a shelf long ago to gather dust. 

Tucker MacLean isn’t looking for anything or anyone, any more. His one goal in life had always been to get away from the small town he grew up in and make his mark. But after a failed marriage, a failed business venture and losing everything, he has had to swallow his pride and move home to take his place in the family business where he resumes his role as a reservist rescue swimmer in the Coast Guard.

As thunder always follows the lightening strike, when Vivian and Tucker meet, their passion is an electrical storm. 

Tuck’s casual self-confidence and easy ways allow Vivian to be herself. The person she’s always wanted to be. Casual affairs end for Tuck when he meets Vivian where her frank honesty and earnest ways can’t help but attract him. Tuck knows Vivian could never be a casual fling for him.

With mounting passions, Vivian sets sail aboard the Navigator, a tall ship of the first class. It is here far out to sea that the ship becomes entangled in a mesh of storms that collide to surround the ship. All the navigating equipment in the world couldn’t have predicted the sudden change in course the storms took to wall in the tall ship between their mighty forces.

Saving the life of a fellow sailor throws Vivian overboard into the torrential storm. Here she is at the mercy of the currents of the sea. 

On land, Tuck hears the SOS from the Navigator. Tossed from the ship and assumed drowned, Tuck refuses to believe Vivian is lost. Unable and unprepared to give up the search, he is determined to find Vivian one way or another. While rescue teams scour the rough seas, Tuck realizes true love is worth fighting all of the odds, even in a natural disaster.
