Taken by Storm

Storms of Blackwood, Book 1

By: Elle Middaugh

Narrated by: Vanessa Moyen

Alexis Ravenel: Peasant. Princess. Pawn.

As a peasant, I was forced to work the jewel mines in order to survive. My life was hard, but my worries were few: Affording food to eat, and keeping my pet sloth out of harm’s way. But when a chance encounter with a stranger concludes with me obtaining the power of the gods, suddenly my whole world changes.

When the Storm King finds out - and trust me, he always finds out - he plans to make me a princess by marrying me off to one of his four sons. Which doesn’t really seem like too bad of a thing...at first. After all, the Storm Princes are sexy as sin, rich, confident, and built like the very gods themselves.

But nothing is as simple as it seems, and the luxurious life of the Blackwood royals is nothing but a nightmare I cannot wake up from...and neither can the princes. They grew up knowing and resenting this fact, but I had to find out the hard way....

In the Kingdom of Blackwood, we are all just pawns in the Storm King’s wicked game.

Taken by Storm is the first book in the Storms of Blackwood series, a fast burn, RH, paranormal romance for 18 and up.

YOU SHOULD READ IT!!!!

This audiobook legit saved me from watching bad reality tv. At that point, I had become so bored that when I found this book, I nearly cried with joy. Alexis was just so lovable to me, it was insane how much I enjoyed this book. I legit listened to this book and went on to read the others, one after the other with little sleep in between, that was just how much I loved it. I devoured this series, and support it so much.

Vanessa Moyen is one of my go-to narrators. I honestly feel as though she read a dictionary and I would be interested, that's just how much I love her voice. She did this book justice, and vice versa. This book not only complimented her skills as a narrator, but her skills as a narrator brought this book to life. I believe there was no better person for the job.

I would definitely recommend this to anybody and have already sung its praises to any and all that'll listen.

"This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review."

Great Beginning!

I absolutely loved this book. It is a great start to the series. A rags to riches for the heroine and a unique start to the RH.
Would I listen to this book again? YES
Would I recommend this book to others? YES, with the notice that it's 18+.

One of my favorite series!

Wow! This was the first book I read by Elle, but from Chapter One, I was an instant fan! I was hooked right away, but by a few chapters in a couldn't even put it down. Like, literally...I abandoned all responsibilities and binged the 20-something remaining chapters in the book!

This book had everything I love: a hilarious MC with a filthy mouth, even filthier mind, and super HOT scenes (I'm surprised my device didn't overheat) for starters! There's something to fall in love with in all the brothers and the ending has me dying for the next book already, so thankfully book 2 is already out on audio!

I read the book first and then listened to the audio later. I looked experiencing the story in a whole new way. I give the narrator 4/5 stars. She has a nice voice to listen to and does a great job at different voices for the characters. The only area she could improve on is her execution of the steamy scenes.

GREAT Read/listen

Very enjoyable read.
The last line was hilarious!!! Can't wait to start the next book.
