The biggest risk she'll ever take…

Tessa Henning is no damsel. But she's definitely in distress. If her husband really is involved in the ivory trade, he'll come after her when he finds out what she's uncovered. Unfortunately, the only person who can help is Mac Walker. Stubborn, fiercely independent, danger-loving bush pilot Mac Walker—with whom she shares custody of their orphaned nephew. Though Mac's no knight in shining armor, he can keep her and their nephew safe in the Serengeti while they wait out this storm. But he can't protect Tessa from the strange weather brewing inside her, stirring up feelings for Mac she wishes she could ignore.

Does following her passion mean losing her way?

Marine Ben Corallis is an expert at facing death, but nothing comes close to the terror that grounds him when his wife is killed in a car accident the day he returns from duty. He's left to raise an infant, a toddler and a ten-year-old girl who hasn't uttered a word since her mother's death.

It's hard not to care for the widowed marine with three young children. Yet he's still grieving, too burdened with guilt to fall in love again. And Hope Alwanga's future as a doctor awaits her on the other side of the world, in Nairobi. If two such opposites can't agree on a common country, how can they ever create a safe place to call home?

Review
I received Through the Storm in return for an honest review as part of the tour hosted by Prism Book Tours. Tessa has had a rough six months after the loss of her sister in a fatal plane crash, and taking on her teenage son hasn’t been easy. However, they never planned on her doing alone with the help of Mac her brother in law to help out. Mac has been busy trying to keep his business a float with all the big business’s moving in on his area.

When Tessa shows up one night on his doorstep claiming to be in town to visit but she has ulterior motives. She’s learned the man she’s married to is involved in the Ivory trade. Fearing the safety of Nick her nephew she heads into the Serengeti to stay with Mac till she can figure out what to do and maybe his connections can help her figure out the truth. Tessa and Mac have known each other a long time since high school but it was never anything more than siblings dating and eventually getting married. Now that they are spending all this time together it’s clear that Tessa got married for comfort not love. What will happen when she learns the truth about her husband? What about her feelings for Mac?

I like Tessa at first I wasn’t sure but she quickly grew on me as we started to see that she’s not just a socialite. She’s an interesting character willing to risk her own future to save that of her nephew, and she has a genuine heart willing to risk her marriage for the animals. Mac is perfect for her she just doesn’t see it right away but the more time they spend together the more they both start to see what’s right in front of them and has been for a while.

After reading the synopsis I knew I had to sign up as I’m a huge fan of Harlequin novels and this one is set in the heart of Africa. I admit I didn’t read the prior book in the series but each one is a standalone so that wasn’t an issue. I like the concept of going after Ivory traders it’s not something you see every day in a book and it’s a serious issue happening in Africa. I’m not a huge fan of love triangles but this isn’t bad it’s more a case of self-discovery and learning that the man she thought she loved isn’t the man she married. I enjoyed he author’s writing style the story just flows along smoothly a suspenseful mystery mixed with romance creating a captivating story. This is my first book by the author but after reading Through the Strom I know I need to check out her other books. Highly recommend for fans of suspenseful romance novels.
