Riding the Storm by Sydney Croft

Riding the Storm (Acro World, #1)

by Sydney Croft

A storm’s rage. A woman’s desire.

A man with the power to set them both free.

He can summon lightning at will. Emerge unscathed from the center of a tornado. Strip a woman down to her barest defenses through the sheer force of his sexuality. He’s gorgeous, dangerous, and the target of parameteorologist Haley Holmes’s latest mission. Haley has been dispatched to the Louisiana bayous to investigate the phenomenon known as Remy Begnaud–a man with a gift he never wanted: the ability to control a storm’s fury. But even a woman trained in bizarre weather phenomena has no defense against the electrifying power of the ex—Navy SEAL...a power his enemies would kill to control.

With her agency monitoring their every move, Haley’s job is to seduce Remy, gain his trust–and help him harness his extraordinary gift. But who will protect her from this voracious lover who’s introducing her to a new world of erotic thrills—a man who grows increasingly insatiable with each new weather event? Haley knows a big storm is approaching—and with it will come unexpected delights. But so, too, will the storm unleash her greatest fears: an enemy bent on destroying Remy. And her worst fear of all—falling in love with this magnificent man, then having to betray him.

Now I have to admit that eventually I kinda skimmed the sex, most of it was plot driven but some of it just felt tacked on. The setup is interesting, a group who trains and helps paranormal sorts to come to terms with their powers and sometimes uses sex to grease the wheels. There's another group who sell powers to the highest bidders and are very willing to kill and torture to get their way.

This is the first book in the series, most of the story is about Haley Holmes who is a parameteorologist and her dealings with Reny Begnaud who seems to attract storms whereever he goes. There are also a few other characters who appear and are part of the team, and appear to be creating their own relationships.

I want to know more about Creed and Devlin and wouldn't mind reading more of this series. I also want to see some struggle with control and look forward to it.
