BLURB:
Healed
from her own loss, Juliana Hopkins wants nothing more than to mend reclusive
artist Aidan Byrne’s heart, and help close a chapter in his life that has
haunted him for over twenty years. Risking their newfound love, Juliana is
determined to release the ghosts he can’t let go.
Aidan has been in love with Juliana since the first moment he saw her, but if she can’t leave the tragedies of his past alone, he won’t be able to make a life with her.
She offers him a love he never dared to want, but loving her could rip open all the old wounds he’d never been able to heal.

EXCERPT
“Todd!”
Her husband’s name was ripped from her throat,
twisted up with the sound of metal crushing around them. Juliana fought to grab
on to anything as the car tumbled like a child’s toy, an endless somersault.
She wanted to close her eyes, but the sight of Todd’s limp body, flung back and
forth, held her horrified attention. Blood from the gash on his head splattered
across her face.
Todd!”
Before his name could leave her lips, Juliana
sat up in bed, her fingers clutching the sheets around her body in a death grip
until the sensation of being thrown around subsided, and the sight of Todd’s
broken body faded to black.
“It’s just a dream,” she whispered.
When she swallowed—too hard—her
throat hurt, as if she’d screamed it raw. She probably had. Over the past year
she’d woken this way more often than not.
A dream, but based on reality.
And she relived it over and over again.
Juliana eased her hold on the sheet and ran a
hand over the empty side of the bed where Todd used to sleep. For five blissful
years they’d shared this bed, had planned on sharing it for another sixty or
more.
Fate had different plans for them.
Her eyes adjusted to the darkness, and now the
room filled with moonlight and a green glow from the clock on the table next to
her bed. She focused on the numbers on the display. Midnight. Again.

My Review
The Storm Within is the eleventh installment from the Soul Mate Tree series. I have read several of these stories and have enjoyed most of them. I was not sure how I would like this one at first. However, it is definitely my favorite from the series to date. I was captivated as soon as I was introduced to Juliana. I felt a connection to her. The turmoil she was going through made me understand her. Then walk in the mysterious Aidan. Those two were great together and enjoyed their chemistry with one another. I did not want to say goodbye to them.
I give The Storm Within 5 plus stars and recommend it for those who love a great and quick romance.
I received this book from the publisher, but was not required to write a review. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
