great book although I wish Lev could've met his little brother at the end. Glad the Drake sisters were mentioned though even if just as a sideline, it's nice to see the author using the same type of community with characters.
Absolutely love this book. It starts right after the last Drake sister books. Lev is drowning and feeling a no way out that is until Rikki bashed into him in the water. Rikki saved Lev but with Rikki been Autistic struggles when push out of her routine so Lev wanting to use her bathroom and her beautiful plates etc. Lev realises he'd have to adapt to what's best for Rikki but considering that what he does best it starts to work out well. They seem like the more odd couple but work perfectly. In this book you learn more about elements powers and the their attracted to each other. Also more about Lev and his brothers. Looking forward to learning more about each of Rikki sisters. Great ending and HEA.
Thoroughly enjoyed another dip into Sea Haven’s waters!
While this one wasn’t quite as good as the Drake Sisters series, it was still a pretty good read. I enjoyed Lev and Rikki’s relationship and how they both helped each other grow.
Kinda bummed we didn’t get a confrontation between Lev and Ilya but I wonder if that’ll come over the next books? Especially with more Prakenskii brothers coming!

A really great start to the Sea Haven/Sisters of the Heart series. Rikki is a diver gathering sea urchins for sale but prefers to dive on her own. That changes when a rogue wave washes an injured man into her path. Lev can't remember much but he knows that he is dangerous and needs to keep his presence a secret. Which is pretty easy since Rikki cannot stand anyone in her home but there's just something about Lev that has her breaking her own rules. Rikki is dangerous as well and is terrified that she's going to burn home down, something that has already happened on multiple occasions. As Lev tries to remember who he is and Rikki tries to figure out how she can keep him safe, hidden secrets have a way of coming to light. Can they find possible happiness when their pasts keep holding them back? I enjoyed how both of the characters were portrayed and with a little help of the paranormal were able to find their HEA. There are some secondary characters from an earlier series but I was able to enjoy without having read them. Good read!
I liked the take on an autistic main character. But the writing was repetitive and formulaic.
As with any "first" book in a series, there are bumps and hiccups that go along with setting up the rest of the series. Thankfully, there's not much to set up for this series, as Sea Haven is a well established setting, with characters recongnizable from the Drake Sisters series.
I'm still a little unsure where this series is going though. Are the "Sisters of the Heart" meant to hook up with the six Prakenskii brothers? I hope so, because I really like Ilya and Lev :)
I love how the story starts at the same time [b:Sea Storm|108229|The Perfect Storm A True Story of Men Against the Sea|Sebastian Junger|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171580454s/108229.jpg|1887699] is ending. Rikki is such a unique character for a romance book. I know very little about Autistic behavior, so this book was very enlightening. While she has a mild case, her struggles are very real.
While Lev could have been a cookie cutter mold of Feehan's typical male-dominate characters, a nasty bump on the head & a case of amnesia tempered some of that alpha tendencies. I really enjoyed that he fought training and focused on new-found emotions to guide his actions.
I loved the electrical palm synge between the two of them. I have a feeling that's a Prakenskii thing. The connection Rikki & Lev has is so sweet and amazing. I loved the build up of trust, had they jumped in bed together in the first 100 pages . . . it would have totally ruined the book for me.
There wasn't as much "action" in this book. There were a couple of dramatic moments though.
I'm hoping . . . if this turns out to be a Prakenskii brothers series . . . that there will be interaction between Lev & Ilya . . . and Jackson & Lev. That story arc really left me hanging!
