Summer Storm - Haunted by You
When Dane wright stepped into his
bathroom, the last thing he expected to find was a naked woman drying herself
with his towel. He had no clue who this woman was, or how she got in. For a hot minute he even thought he’d gone
into the wrong house. And if that wasn’t enough when she spun to face him, he
felt as if he'd been punched in the stomach,
"Who
was she, and why was he so attracted to her?"
Dane
Wright is a morose, moody individual who’s content to isolate himself in his
Malibu beach house. For nine months, he’s shut out the world, along with his
loved ones, to wallow in self-pity within the walls of his luxury fortress of
solitude. When his parents go on a month-long Caribbean cruise, Dane is forced
to take responsibility for his younger sibling, Megan, who is fast building a
reputation for herself.
Megan
is upset with her parents. They're making her stay with her brother for the
summer and are threatening to stop her allowance if she doesn’t pull up her
grades. So Megan seeks the assistance of geeky Summer Blake, who’s probably the
brightest girl she knows at college. Knowing Summer's on scholarship, Megan
bribes her with a glamorous vacation in exchange for helping her improve her
grades.
Summer
agrees. She’d rather sleep in a flimsy, makeshift tent in a woods full of bears
than to go home for the summer. However, there are a few details Megan leaves
out when she invites Summer to vacation at her brother's home; things that
could topple the walls of the man cave Dane’s built around himself while
shaking Summer's world.
The
instant attraction between Dane and Summer is undeniable. However, Summer’s
presence makes Dane experience emotions he doesn’t want to feel. And the sooner
he can get her out of his house, the better.
Tori is fun loving and see the world through the
eyes of her characters. She's cutting her teeth so to speak, on the butts of
the menage cast of players, running around nude in her head. Waiting for her to
dress them, package them and expose them fully clothed of course, well at least
most of the time, to the world.

It may have been short (roughly 50 pages), but this novel is heartfelt, true and undeniably a
story that readers can get lost into when they wish to escape even if it’s for a short period of
time. I found that Dane and Summer are the type of individuals you’d run into when you walk out
the door on your way to the grocery store, to work or when you cross them on the street – they
aren’t perfect and battle their own demons daily, making them relatable. Although we get to
experience the emotional aspect of this novel (mostly about the turmoil existing in the
characters), I wish we could have read more of their passions, of themselves and even more of
the story itself. This is the first novel I’ve read by Tori Del Rey and I enjoyed it; for certain I’ll be
adding her novels to my to be read list from now on.
