About this listen
Secrets, Sex, and Scandals.... Welcome to Storm, Texas, where passion runs hot, desire runs deep, and secrets have the power to destroy....
Get ready. The storm is coming.
Marcus Alvarez fled Storm when his father's drinking drove him over the edge. With his mother and sisters in crisis, Marcus is forced to return to the town he thought he'd left behind. But it is his attraction to a very grown up Brittany Rush that just might be enough to guarantee that he stays.

Story
Nestled among rolling hills and painted with vibrant wildflowers, the bucolic town of Storm, Texas, seems like nothing short of perfection. But there are secrets beneath the façade. Dark secrets. Powerful secrets. The kind that can destroy lives and tear families apart. The kind that can cut through a town like a tempest, leaving jealousy and destruction in its wake along with shattered hopes and broken dreams. All it takes is one little thing to shatter that polish.

Story
In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding. She was riding to the rescue of her twin. Too bad for Naomi, her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with a niece she didn’t know she had. Now, she’s stuck in town with no car, no job, no home - and an 11-year-old to take care of. Since Naomi’s life imploded right in front of him, the least Knox can do is help her out. And just as soon as she's out of trouble, he can get back to his peaceful, solitary life. That’s the plan, until the trouble turns to real danger.

Marcus Alvarez comes home
Marcus Alvarez finally came back home after running away years ago. In his words, we find out why he left and got more confirmation about his father Hector’s mean and cruel behavior towards his wife and Marcus, but never for this precious daughter Dakota. There is more heat simmering between Marcus and Brittany Rush, the senator’s daughter. I like the whole wrong side of the tracks and rich girl theme, but I know the Rush family will do something to crush the Alvarez family. I like Marcus and it is clear that he is a good person. I hope he can save his little sister Dakota because she is entangled in a mess.
I am more excited by the fact that Ginny’s story is to unravel and throw a lot of people into a tailspin. She has a budding relationship with veteran Logan, but Jacob’s family will not appreciate being lied to.
This series is still very enjoyable and I plan to continue shortly.

And the story continues
This episode features the Alvarez family, focusing on the return of Marcus. His return is interesting since his love interest is Brittany Rush, and with them coming from different sides of the tracks, it makes the story that much more riveting. The dynamic in the Alvarez family is also something that is to be watched, with Joanna coming into her own, Dakota acting as the entitled princess she wishes she is and Mallory trying to get her own relationship with her boyfriend in order. A lot is happening, leading up to the big explosion that is definitely building as the series continues. With Paul Boehmer narrating this gem, it is a book that keeps you going for the next one.
