Taken By Storm

De: Kim Baldwin

Narrado por: Coleen Marlo

Lives depend on two women when a train derails high in the remote Alps, but an unforgiving mountain, avalanches, crevasses, and other perils stand between them and safety. Associated Press reporter Hudson Mead is an extreme skiing enthusiast who has covered war zones and natural disasters during her long and distinguished career, but nothing could have prepared her for the challenges she'll face when the snow train she's riding is decimated by a massive avalanche.

Librarian Steffi Graham, on her first trip abroad, is anxious to hone her rock-climbing skills in a new and unfamiliar terrain of ice and snow. She gets much more than she bargained for when her talents put her on the team that goes for help. As the two strangers struggle to reach civilization, they must compromise and learn to trust each other, a task that may be nearly as difficult as the journey itself.

It made me tear up

This was a good book, that made me not only teary eyed, but emotional with its romance and excitement. And strengthens my passion for books written by Kim Baldwin as a romance writer.

Really Enjoyed!

A great listen, in my opinion. I would definitely recommend it. This is a book I could listen to more than once.

A survival tale with a romance subplot

The book was decent. It’s about a vacation in the alps gone wrong. The two leads are likable. The token male chauvinist was very much not likable. I don’t know if the book needed him since the main antagonist is the environment, and he was a bit over the top with his jerk ways, but he did provide some color at least. It was an enjoyable read.

The narrator was good, although her accent was kinda strange in places, but it didn’t really bother me. She made up for it by bringing an excellent and professional recording to the table.

4/5 would recommend.

Great Action Romance

This was a well-written story and the narration was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book and highly recommend it.

The pacing on the story was superb with action and slower moments that felt natural and made it engaging. The tension built from beginning to end making it a real page-turner – or whatever the audio book equivalent is.

This is the perfect action novel to listen to when you have some time. You will be unhappy to stop listening so make sure you have no distractions around when you start.

Overall wonderful adventure and suspense!

I enjoy reading Kim Baldwin's books! The adventure & knowledge of the places, adventure gear and proper use is impeccable.

I feel this is one of her best books. Development of characters and storyline is well done, I was never bored or lost when reading. Just the right balance of adventure, suspense, relationships, laughter and excitement. I will be reading it again!

Wonderful, suspenseful, survival adventure!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Several.. was intrigued throughout. The two women making the final trek to safety, building and sleeping in ice caves.

Any additional comments?

Looking forward to another book by this author!

Live the danger, feel the cold.

Taken By Storm holds a special place in my heart, as one of the first lesbian fiction books I ever read and an early favourite.

This is a book I love to go back to, because Baldwin makes you feel like you're in the middle of the action.
Coleen Marlo's voice and pacing are a great fit for it, accentuating the danger and urgency of the cast's predicaments.
You won't just root for the characters, here. You'll find yourself with them, buried under an avalanche, huddling close to ward off the freezing cold.
A great, immersive adventure with a dash of romance.

Terrific story of Avalanche danger

Riveting story of alpine beauty, danger, and climbing feats on snow and ice. The groups' survival depends on their ability to work together and pool expertise as well as their food and other resources.

Wonderful story and great narration!!

This book literally kept me on the edge of my seat. I laughed, I cried, I felt like my stomach was dropping; I was there with Steffi and Hudson. Ms. Marlo did an incredible job brining the entire book to life and Ms. Baldwin's attention to detail made me feel like I was dangling on the edge of a mountain as well. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this story. Well worth it!!!

Great story

Enjoyed the story thoroughly, would like to see other books with Hudson. Once I began listening, I couldn't stop.
