The Perfect Storm: a sudden storm and a second chance for love

The Perfect Storm by Elana Johnson is the first book in the Stranded in Getaway Bay series. Eden McLaughlin is fed up with rich men who push her aside as she tries to find investors for her outdoor product line. After the final rejection, she decides to take a hike to clear her head. A sudden storm causes a downpour and a landslide takes her sliding down with rock and mud. Also caught in the landslide is her ex, Holden Holstein, who is able to drag her to safety in the nick of time. Both are injured with very little supplies, and the rain has washed away the only path back. But Eden has a few surprises up her sleeves as they wait for rescue. Being in close quarters, will their old flame be rekindled? Or will their second chance be washed away with the rain? 

The Perfect Storm is a sweet, clean second chance romance. Perfect for a lazy afternoon of reading, this quick read will embrace you in the warmth of second chances. I could totally see this story as a Hallmark Channel movie. I loved Eden’s ingenuity and tenacity. I loved that Holden still held a torch for Eden after all this time, even when he was the one to originally break off their relationship. While I’m not one for personal outdoorsy, may need survival skills adventures, I enjoyed Eden’s quick thinking and clear headedness. Overall, I enjoyed The Perfect Storm and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. If you enjoy Hallmark style romances, I recommend The Perfect Storm. 

The Perfect Storm is available in paperback and eBook
