Taken by Storm

Storms of Blackwood, Book 1

De: Elle Middaugh

Narrado por: Vanessa Moyen

Alexis Ravenel: Peasant. Princess. Pawn.

As a peasant, I was forced to work the jewel mines in order to survive. My life was hard, but my worries were few: Affording food to eat, and keeping my pet sloth out of harm’s way. But when a chance encounter with a stranger concludes with me obtaining the power of the gods, suddenly my whole world changes.

When the Storm King finds out - and trust me, he always finds out - he plans to make me a princess by marrying me off to one of his four sons. Which doesn’t really seem like too bad of a thing...at first. After all, the Storm Princes are sexy as sin, rich, confident, and built like the very gods themselves.

But nothing is as simple as it seems, and the luxurious life of the Blackwood royals is nothing but a nightmare I cannot wake up from...and neither can the princes. They grew up knowing and resenting this fact, but I had to find out the hard way....

In the Kingdom of Blackwood, we are all just pawns in the Storm King’s wicked game.

Taken by Storm is the first book in the Storms of Blackwood series, a fast burn, RH, paranormal romance for 18 and up.

YOU SHOULD READ IT!!!!

This audiobook legit saved me from watching bad reality tv. At that point, I had become so bored that when I found this book, I nearly cried with joy. Alexis was just so lovable to me, it was insane how much I enjoyed this book. I legit listened to this book and went on to read the others, one after the other with little sleep in between, that was just how much I loved it. I devoured this series, and support it so much.

Vanessa Moyen is one of my go-to narrators. I honestly feel as though she read a dictionary and I would be interested, that's just how much I love her voice. She did this book justice, and vice versa. This book not only complimented her skills as a narrator, but her skills as a narrator brought this book to life. I believe there was no better person for the job.

I would definitely recommend this to anybody and have already sung its praises to any and all that'll listen.

"This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review."

Great Beginning!

I absolutely loved this book. It is a great start to the series. A rags to riches for the heroine and a unique start to the RH.
Would I listen to this book again? YES
Would I recommend this book to others? YES, with the notice that it's 18+.

One of my favorite series!

Wow! This was the first book I read by Elle, but from Chapter One, I was an instant fan! I was hooked right away, but by a few chapters in a couldn't even put it down. Like, literally...I abandoned all responsibilities and binged the 20-something remaining chapters in the book!

This book had everything I love: a hilarious MC with a filthy mouth, even filthier mind, and super HOT scenes (I'm surprised my device didn't overheat) for starters! There's something to fall in love with in all the brothers and the ending has me dying for the next book already, so thankfully book 2 is already out on audio!

I read the book first and then listened to the audio later. I looked experiencing the story in a whole new way. I give the narrator 4/5 stars. She has a nice voice to listen to and does a great job at different voices for the characters. The only area she could improve on is her execution of the steamy scenes.

GREAT Read/listen

Very enjoyable read.
The last line was hilarious!!! Can't wait to start the next book.

powers

miner turned princess due to having powers, Alexis has to choose a prince to marry.

Sunny and Erotic!

Very happily surprised at the sass and exotic nature of the scenes in this book! Love it!

Speedy the sloth

Honestly wasn't sure if I would like the book, but the sloth had me sold so I got it. So glad I did! Steamy, funny, awesome storyline. Can't wait to see what's next. Getting the next book now.

Need more

Oh this was an amazing introduction to this series and i can't wait to get my hands on book 2. Narration was amazing and writing was very well done.

Lexi's new life is not what it seems.

Lexi suddenly has God like powers after running into a stranger. The Storm king finds her & throws Lexi into the life of a royal, expecting her to marry one of the four sexy Storm princes. There is no refusing the king's demands with those she loves at risk. The ending has a surprising twist that surprises her & all of the princes. Love her pet sloth Speedy!

Excellent RH Paranormal Romance

The story sucked me in right away. This is a very unique book with the main heroine having a pet sloth called speedy! The weirdest think is that she kept catching him in dangerous situations and concluded that he was trying to commit suicide! Crazy sloth!

Narration is well done and brings the story to life. The narrator did a great job with her voices to fit each character.

There are no words to describe how ruthless the Storm king is. He decides to marry our heroine to one of his sons. She is apprehensive about marrying someone she doesn’t know but little does she know that they are the least of her worries.

Taken by Storms is a steamy RH paranormal romance for Adults. The author is very talented and created an amazing story with unexpected twists and turns to keep us guessing.

I normally hate cliffhangers but this one was one of the best I have seen! Odd but I loved the cliffhanger and I’m looking forward to the next book!
