"Delightful Dee Davis thriller"

In Corpus Christie, just after her soon to be former brother-n-law Martin arrives to crash for a while, Simone Cooper-Sheridan receives the post card warning her that a storm is brewing. Before the ex CIA Division 9 agent can flee, assailants attack shooting Martin. She gets him to another family house where she works on his wound at the same time that her husband Reese, a former Ranger turned lawyer, angrily arrives.

She finally explains her secrets that tore apart their marriage just as another assault occurs. The three flee with Simone hoping to keep the two men she loves safe while reaching her former superior. As the police seek Reese for questioning on a potential homicide of his brother and wife, Isabella Ramirez seeks revenge for a CIA incident several years ago in Nicaragua that left most of her loved ones dead.

Though having Reese as an ex Ranger seems too convenient and Martin handles rather easily being shot nearly drowned and other assaults like these are an everyday occurrence, fans will appreciate this gender bending romantic suspense thriller. From the first bullet, the audience will comprehend how competent Simone is whether it is eluding the bad guys, removing a bullet and stitching a wound, or fighting back against her opponents. Reese is a strong ally as he begins to understand why his beloved hid the truth though he resents what she has brought to Martin. EYE OF THE STORM is a delightful Dee Davis thriller.
