Book Review: Turbulent Sea by Christine Feehan

I know, I know, Christine Feehan is pretty much a household name, but I she is one of my favorite authors. I have to give her props for her Drake Sisters series, of which Turbulent Sea is one of the many stories.

The first of the series that I read was Dangerous Tides, which is about the Drake sister Libby, a doctor with mystical healing talents. The book intrigued me from the quick plot line to the depth of detail the author went to make it more realistic. But one sister caught my attention more than the others, and I wanted to know more about her.

Since I come from a musical family Joley Drake, whose story is in Turbulent Sea, sparked my interest. When I had the opportunity to pick up the story, I was very excited to read it.

Joley is a singer for an extremely popular band with world-wide recognition. She is a bit of a "bad girl" and very head-strong. So when Ilya Praenskii walks into her life with a domineering personality, she is immediately repelled by the Russian...yet oddly attracted as well.

I won't give the story away, but I found the plot to flow well despite a few jumps forward here and there. I laughed with the characters, mourned with them, felt what they were feeling. The story carried me away as all good books should, and I highly recommend it for anyone who loves a good romance with a dash of danger, magic and intrigue.
