Lightning in Her Hands

De: Raquel Vasquez Gilliland

Narrado por: Marcella Black

Gifted—or cursed—with the power to influence the weather, one woman must embrace her wild heart in the next electric romance from the author of Witch of Wild Things.

Teal Flores is desperate for two things—control over her gift of weather, and a date to her ex’s wedding. The first isn’t possible until she finds her long-lost mother, but the second has a very handsome last-ditch solution: Carter Velasquez.

Carter needs Teal too. His chance at receiving an inheritance is dependent on him being married by age thirty (blame his traditional Cuban grandmother), so who better to pose as his wife than Teal? But fake marriage and cohabitation prove tricky when mutual attraction charges the atmosphere—quite literally for Teal, whose volatile emotions cause lightning strikes.

Together, Teal and Carter embark on a quest to find her mother and the answers she’s searching for. But along the way, they’ll discover something even better: a love that can weather any storm.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Beautiful, sexy and witty, this story had me hold my breath, laughing, and tearing up all at once. An electrifying romance!"—Ashley Herring Blake, USA Today bestselling author of Iris Kelly Doesn't Date

“The protagonists are well-developed, with backstories that explain their present actions and reactions. Their Mexican American heritage is a significant part of the story and is woven in skillfully.”—Library Journal (starred review)

“Lush and beautifully written, Lightning in Her Hands is a gorgeous novel full of heart, magic and family.”—Bookpage

Satisfying with surprising depth

The story took a character that was formerly unlikable and showed all of her layers, good and bad. The narrative worked through a lot of her trauma and pass mistakes without making her only a victim. The love story felt real, just angsty enough, and full of true friendship, which is what love is really based off of. Also, the spice was just right. Such a great follow up to the first book. Can’t wait for the next one!

A good paranormal romance

This book picks up right after the first book in the series and Teal is trying to heal herself. We follow all she goes through to find her mother and heal herself. We go along with her as she goes through so much and we can all learn from it. Teal keeps talking about how broken she is and fails to see the truth. When she does we the story is really good. I wonder if there will be a third book in the series.

The smooth voice with the perfect tone making me feel like I was on the room and part of the story.

I disliked nothing. The accents produced, the feelings invoked, plot, characters, flow, and everything was perfect.

The prickly middle sister gets her HEA

I knew the author would have her work cut out for her redeeming Teal after her behavior in book one, and she hit it out of the park! The narration was top notch!
