Synopsis

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag comes this bittersweet romance classic about a woman who’s rebuilt her life—and her heart—after the disappointments of the past, only to find her carefully laid plans shattered by a knock on the door.…

As a trauma nurse, Julia McCarver is accustomed to dealing with life-and-death emergencies. But she is the one in shock when she answers the door and finds the past standing there in the person of S. T. “Storm” Dalton. Julia had painstakingly put her life together not just once but three times in the wake of his abrupt and devastating departures, and she has no intention of doing it a fourth time. Because that’s what S.T. promises he will do—break her engagement to another man, her heart, and her future all over again. Except, of course, that’s not what he calls his plan to win her back. He gives himself two weeks to convince Julia that he’s changed, that she is still in love with him, and that—despite conventional wisdom—the fourth time lightning struck can be a charm.

About Tami Hoag

Born in Cresco, Iowa and raised in Harmony, Minnesota…Tami Hoag knew she wanted to be a writer at a very young age. Her first job after graduating from high school was in the La Crosse Tribune circulation department. Before publishing her first novel, she also worked as a photographer's assistant, trained show horses, and sold designer bathroom accessories. She began her career as an author in 1988, writing category romances for the Bantam Books Loveswept Line. After several years of success in that field, Hoag switched her focus to single-title suspense novels. She has had thirteen consecutive New York Times bestsellers, including five in a 20-month span. Her novel Night Sins became a TV miniseries starring Valerie Bertinelli and Harry Hamlin.

Hoag and three other authors who made the leap from romance to thrillers at roughly the same time (Eileen Dreyer, Elizabeth Grayson and Kimberly Cates) have formed a group they call the Divas. The group provides support and encouragement for each other, and Hoag often thanks them in the acknowledgement section of her books.

Tami Hoag currently lives in Palm Beach County, Florida where she is also known as a top competitive equestrian in the Olympic discipline of dressage. Other interests include the study of psychology, and mixed martial arts fighting.

Fun, feel good romance.

Goodreads review by Lisa

Wow! This book has NOT aged well. I know Hoag from her thrillers, and had no idea that she started in 'romance'. This is probably by far her most horrific story I have read. The male 'lead' is expert at stalking, manipulating, harassment, at sexual assault, and at gaslighting. The female 'lead'? Why......more

I knew it was older and a romance novel when I selected it so I have nothing negative to comment. It was a cozy, romantic, funny read. It was what I needed after the holiday madness. There is one scene with a dog and a bone that made me giggle out loud :)......more

Read on a plane ride. Haven’t read a book like this in a while. I’m not a big romance reader but really fast and easy read. Had it so figured why not.......more

Goodreads review by Michele

I picked this book up in the library of our vacation rental. It's like eating a bag of jelly bellies. Super sweet, a couple of nice surprises, but mostly unsatisfying. You know it isn't good for you and when you finish it you feel slightly sick to your stomach. I'm pretty sure I don't need to read a......more

Goodreads review by Colline

I did not know that Tami Hoag wrote romance as I have only read her thrillers. According to the author’s note at the beginning of the story, Hoag began her career writing romance. Taken by Storm does follow the traditional format of a romance, leaving the storyline to be a predictable one. However,......more
