Bring on Book 3 in the Storm, Texas ~ Rising Storm series.

In this installment we see more of Lacey Salt. She is still reeling after the death of her brother Jacob, her mother is ignoring her cries for help, so wrapped you in Ginny that she has no time to help and comfort her own child. She has anger and resentment over Ginny and the baby, is the only one that will voice the idea that everyone else is thinking and not willing to say.......How can the baby be Jacob's when nobody even knew that they were together.

Hell bent on getting her way, she will even turn on her best friend, Mallory to get what she wants, Ginny's brother Luis.

We learn more about Mallory and Luis, along with their friend Jeffery Rush. Mallery is in love with Luis, Luis has had a crush on Lacey since they were in elementry school. When a night of drinking, a afternoon in the sun with Lacey gives Mallory the wrong idea, and then Lacey putting the moves on Luis on a deserted beach come to light, it will destroy Mallory's already fragile world.

When Jeffery Rush gets wind that Mallory's sister Dakota is after his father, confrontations erupt and lies are told to cover well hidden truths.

I love the suspense and the not knowing what is going to happen next. You can feel that things are building and building and building until in the end, the well constructed secrets, lies and scandals are going to come crashing down around the town of Storm, Texas. I anticipate the next installment in this amazing journey.
