    1. Although there was a lot going on secrets, danger, violence, and a suggested mutual attraction between the H and h, the entirety of the book felt uninspiring I never felt.hing No dread, no anxiousness, and no feeling of any real chemistry between Eric and Ashley I want an edgy sort of heat in a romantic suspense, and I just didn t feel it in this one.

    3. Action pack page turner This was a great summer read I was as confused as Eric the main character as to what was going on and who were the good guys The author gives you the details fast enough so that you keep turning the page but throws in red herrings that keep you guessing A lot of action but still a love story You see the best of most people and really get involved with these characters.

    7. When I started reading this story, I was expecting much, just the usual entertaining simple romance There were times where it was suspenseful and I wanted to know but that was it There was not a lot of development in the characters The Hero in this story was not written well He s suppose to be a smart man that was in the military in some sort of special forces, trained in suspicious activity and combat, but he sure does lack all of that in his actions in the book He has lots of intuitions and n [...]

    8. Wow A thriller and a romance I will not downplay the thriller aspect by calling it a romantic thriller.While reading OUT OF THE STORM I had to stop and breathe occasionally, as the book kept me almost perpetually on edge The reader is right there, in the story, riding piggyback within the mind of the protaganist.I haven t been this breathless over a plot in quite some time If you like thrillers READ THIS BOOK

    12. GNA I received a free electronic copy of this novel from Netgalley, Kevin V Symmons, and Wild Rose Press, Inc in exchange for an honest review Thank you all, for sharing your hard work with me This is an excellent novel The classification of this work is ambiguous it is neither a romance, nor an action novel, neither does it have enough terror to sit there with Steven King There are politics involved, and retired soldiers and Washington federal cops but it is not a military or spy novel What it [...]

Out of the storm begins with two very different, but compelling characters Eric is a retired special forces hero who is trying unsuccessfully to get on with his life after the tragic death of his wife and unborn child Ashley is a young woman who enters his world, literally out of the storm Ashley is charming, but complex, and above all running from some mysterious past She becomes a ray of hope for Eric, a way of emerging from his dark days, though the mystery surrounding her holds him back.For [...]

    17. Great and fast moving story very well written kept me on the edge of my seat Out of the Storm is a book you should not start unless you are planning on ignoring everything else until you are finished Is Ashley really as sweet as she seems And who is after her and why The first chapter had me totally hooked Lots of plot twists and turns, and to be honest, I was really not sure who was trustworthy and who was not until right near the end And, what s a good book without some romance Love the relati [...]

    18. Out of the Storm was a pleasant surprise I wasn t sure what to expect since I had not read Mr Symmons work before but am a fan of good romantic suspense Rather than retell the story, I will state that this suspenseful story does not get boring or lose its pace like so many do mid storyline The romance side of the story, expertly wound around the mystery and action in the story, grabs your heart as you fall for each of the characters The ending, including some surprises, neatly winds up each stor [...]

    22. This was a quick and interesting read which I found on Good Reads It was not free but very reasonable I think the author is good He is not a David Baldacci yet but he has the potential of being in that category The characters lacked depth I just was wishing for regarding the overall book I would read his other books I hope he keeps writing and improving.
