Raine's Reviews > Tender Is the Storm

I haven't read this book in forever. I finally got it on Kindle, but I used to have this paperback Tender Is the Storm (I'm sure it is tucked away in a box in the basement somewhere) and now that I'm looking at it some of those covers back then were even more risque than today's covers. I think this book is still awesome! It was well written and I like it more than Johanna Lindsey's newer books. I loved sweet Lucas and dangerous Slade. Sharisse of course wasn't planning on being a mail-order bride, but had to head west at the urging of her sister (who I thought was really a selfish little shit) because her sister was in love with the man that Sharisse was supposed to wed though their father wouldn't hear of letting her sister marry him. Then Sharisse's sister proceeds to leave Sharisse stranded without money so she is basically at the mercy of her 'intended' husband Lucas Holt (see...I told you her sister is a shit). Of course everything ends well at the end (please, it's not like you're surprise this has an HEA!), though the only regret is that the sister didn't get run over by a stagecoach.
