Back cover blurb: 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.

In the wake of Dakota’s revelations, the whole town is reeling. Ginny Moreno has lost everything. Logan Murphy is devastated by her lies. Brittany Rush sees her family in a horrifying new light. And nothing will ever be the same…

My review: Ginny Moreno totally redeems herself in this first midseason episode of the serial “soap opera”. I didn’t like her much in the earlier books, but here she steps up and shows some backbone after Dakota’s revelations in front of the whole town. Of course, Dakota is still completely delusional about what she’s done, which makes for great reading. All the storylines work well together, and I even felt sorry a bit for adulterer Travis Salt. Great work from Lexi Blake, and I look forward to the next installment.
