Hurricane Season by B.J. Phillips

$6.50
Shawn Richards (aka S.K. Richardson) is a romance author. She’s had her heart broken badly again and is done with love. Ditching San Francisco, she moves back home to Southwest Florida to get her feet back under her and finish her latest novel. Carrie Alexander is a huge S.K. Richardson fan, but has no idea what she looks like. She does, however, like the looks of the new neighbor down the street, Shawn Richards. Drawn to each other as friends, Shawn still tries to keep some distance in spite of what she’s beginning to feel for Carrie. Carrie isn’t the kind of woman you just have a fun night with and then move on. Carrie’s the kind you fall in love with and make love to, and live happily ever after with—but she just can’t let herself trust her heart yet. After all, the last time she fell for one of her fans, it ended badly. Carrie is looking for ‘happy ever after’ just like in all those romance novels she reads.  Shawn could be the one, or maybe Carrie’s fooling herself and there’s really no such thing as all that romantic stuff in Shawn’s books. Shawn is afraid she can’t deliver on that ‘happy ever after’ she knows Carrie wants—and she wants, too, truth be told. Destiny might have given them a push when Carrie tripped at the local grocery store and literally fell into Shawn’s arms.  But fear could cost Shawn the woman of her dreams.

From Laure Deherbecourt:

There are so many books to discover that it’s still very rare for me to re-read one …

I wanted to re-read HURRICANE SEASON by BJ Phillips

because I’ve loved it the 1st time and, also because I wanted to refresh my memory before reading its sequel « Snowbird Season » …

My rating : 5 ⭐️

The story sets high in Southwest Florida and focus on Shawn Richards (aka S.K. Richardson) ,a romance author, & Carrie Alexander, a secretary in a

construction firm who is a huge S.K. Richardson fan, but has no idea what she looks like. Leaving San Francisco behind, Shawn moves back home to Florida to get her feet back under her and finish her latest novel. They met when Carrie tripped at the local grocery store and literally fell into Shawn’s arms. They soon discover that they are neighbors & they are unmistably drawn to each other as friends. Following her cousin’s advice, Shawn hires the construction firm in which Carrie works in to add some

rooms to her house. That’s the perfect excuse to spend more and more time together … They go out a couple times. But, in spite of what she’s beginning to feel for Carrie, Shawn still tries to keep some distance because the knows that Carrie isn’t the kind of woman you just have a fun

night with and then move on. … Carrie is a romantic at heart and hope for a HEA like in the romance novels she reads & Shawn doesn’t feel ready to get

involved seriously with a woman after having had her heart broken. Shawn needs to get her things together otherwise fear could cost her the woman of

her dreams. And, then, hurricane Grace strikes …

Nope ! The story is not full of suspense. It’s even quite predictable as a

matter of fact.

Nope ! There isn’t a lot of drama.

Nope ! There aren’t numerous hot lovemakings scenes (there are a few intimates moments, though) …

But some times, a simple, sweet and tender quite slow-burn romance is just what you need to unwind… And Shawn and Carrie's love story is just like that !!

Personally I like the author’s writing and subtil touches of humor. The characters are funny and touching in the same time. There are good secondary characters and the description of what living a hurricane

experience is very good (I know the topic very well since I live under the tropics … even if, over here, we call this kind of storms « cyclones » …).

If I had to make a very short and quite different version of my review, it’d be something like this :

- Did I enjoy this book? => Yes ! Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t have read it a 2nd time …

- Did I find the characters believable? => Yes !! Very realistic.

- Is this book now included in my « must be re-read »-list? => Yes,

definitely … someday there’ll be a 3rd reading, that’s for sure.

- Would I read another book by this author? => Yes ! And I won’t waste any time since my 2 next paperback readings are « Snowbird Season » & « Changing Seasons » (Seasons Series - Book 2 & 3)

- Would I recommend this book => Yes … to everyone !!

Hey guys and gals, you know that now it’s your turn to live a hurricane experience … So … Grab your own copy and make your own opinion …

I’ve been writing since I could read, but I couldn’t seem to finish writing anything fictional. I am a proud member of the Golden Crown Literary Society Writing Academy’s first graduating class from 2015. I finished writing my first book in July 2015 and was lucky enough to be offered a contract for that book in August 2015 by the same publisher as my favorite author, AJ Adaire.

I grew up in Florida, and my partner and I live here with a spoiled Yorkie and a Chihuahua in an honest-to-goodness resort—it says so on the sign out front.
