Excerpt
Gabi pulled
her thoughts together and headed toward the door. It’d been a couple of hours since
she and Jake had woken up, and...well... If he was downstairs, she wanted to
start the day
again. The men would be leaving for Vegas again, and she wanted every second
she could get
with him before they did. Catching sight of her wrist cuffs, she reached for
them without
thought. But as she touched the soft leather, she remembered they were no
longer appropriate
and pulled her hand back, leaving them where they waited—ignoring the pang in her heart.
Enough.
She walked
over to the mirror to have a chat with herself when something in her reflection
caught her attention. Her eyes focused in on blue script peeking out along her collarbone.
There’d been so much to distract her, she’d forgotten about Jake writing on
her!
Stepping
closer to the mirror, her heart pounded as she pulled the fabric back to reveal
the words
reflected backwards.
His Power
She ran her
fingers across the script written by Jake and her heart ached. It was one thing to
see his words in her own writing, but something altogether different to see
them in his writing.
But what did he mean by, his power?
She grabbed
the hand mirror and pivoted to read what he’d written on the back of her shoulder.
Comes from
her Gift
It took a
moment to register, but then it clicked. There was something so poignant in that simple
statement that Gabi found herself unable to move from the spot. As if almost
for the first
time, she realized that, without a submissive, a Dominant’s power couldn’t
exist.
Without a
partner, he had no one to lead.
His power
came from her.
Not because
he demanded it. Not because he wanted it. Not because he decided it.
But because
she did.
Author Bio
Annalise is
an indie author writing contemporary romance with an erotic edge. Her romance
novels are packed with twists and turns, emotional tugs of war, a shot of
suspense, and a plethora of unapologetically dominant men and the women they
crave... All tied together with a good dose of lust and love.
As a girl,
writing occupied her time when age-appropriate books put her to sleep. The
books tucked in the bottom drawer of her mother’s dresser overflowed with love,
passion, betrayal, and revenge— making for far better reads. VC Andrews’
imaginative and twisted stories started it all.
Juggling a
busy schedule, Annalise adheres to the motto, ‘Work hard, play hard.’ When
she’s not working, she’s hopefully somewhere on the beach, under a palm tree,
or where chips, salsa, margaritas, and laughter are abundant.
As for what
she reads and writes today, let's just say it's come a long way from sweet.
Welcome to the place where sweet meets spicy. A place where sassy stories come
to kiss and tell.

My Review:
5 Stars
Taken by Storm by Annalise Delaney is book Two in The Perfect Storm
Duet. This continues the story of Gabrielle Adams and Jake Thornton. The
first book 'Safe in His Storm' should really be read before this book.
This book picks up just a few short weeks from where the last one left
us. Gabi is still trying to deal with her flash back from her awful past
and how it is hurting her still to this day. Gabi felt she had to leave
Jake because of his BDSM lifestyle might be what is triggering her
memory and she didn't want to hold him back. But Jake isn't giving up
and he goes forward to slowly start to help her and bring her back to
him.
This duet series has been so great. I love the writing and the characters. I hope to read Joise's story next.
