The storm sweeps in like a thief in the night… Winter storm Holly is the worst in eighty years bringing high winds, subzero temperatures and snowfall better measured in feet than in inches. The weather paralyzes everything in its path, but in this storm, weather isn’t the only threat.Evelyn Cotton deals poker at the Silver Aces casino in Deadwood to keep the family adventuring business in the … business in the black during the off-season. News of the storm barreling closer has the casino packed with locals pushing their luck and travelers who are stranded. When Wyatt Jameson, her high school sweetheart, sits down at her table it’s all she can do to keep her hands to herself. For more than twelve years she’s dreamed of choking the life out of him for running away to the Army without giving her so much as a goodbye kiss.
Wyatt isn’t back in town for a reunion, though seeing Evie reminds him what sacrifice means. He’s been looking for purpose since an injury ended his Army career. Now, the FBI has recruited him to infiltrate a crew planning to steal a fortune in diamonds, including the famous Mae West Solitaire currently on display at the Silver Aces. The thrill of being needed and the hefty payday if he succeeds easily override the risk of dredging up the old memories and heartache he left behind.
But when the thieves up their timeline due to the storm, Evie gets caught in the crossfire and Wyatt’s plans are turned upside down. He has to win her over -and fast. Without her expertise they might not survive long enough for him to tell her she’s the woman he’s never stopped loving.

A female adventurist, the return of a lost love, and a band of thieves jeopardizes an undercover operation to the point you’re convinced there’s no way it can all work out. But it does. Regan Black twisted the twists in this storyline and made every one of them credible and logical. A very pleasant reading experience!
This is the fourth book in the Stormwatch series and my first book by Regan Black. I’ve really enjoyed this series so far. Each book is written by a different author, but all of them are intertwined by storm Holly.
This book was fast-paced with lots of action packed fun. There was just enough twists, turns, and angst, along with a little murder, a harrowing drive on snow packed roads, and of course, a little romance.
Do yourself a favor and pick up this series, you won’t be disappointed

Black Ice is book 4 in the Stormwatch Series, also my first book by this author. Once again this series comes up with another very good book. Full of romantic suspense, action packed and of course second chance romance all rolled up into one storyline. Things are not always as they seem in a storyline, but this one was such a good read. As with all the books in this series they are all able to be read as a stand alone.
Evelyn and Wyatt must stay safe while battling storm conditions and dangerous felons.
A fast-paced and fun book with likeable characters and an interesting storyline. This is the fourth book in a six-book series written by different authors, but about the same storm. It can be read as a stand-alone
I received a copy of this book from the author via Bookfunnel. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor.
A major blizzard, Holly is moving across the states recking havoc and damage. This is book four written by Regan Black, each book is by a different author and they start and continue to follow this destructive and dangerous storm and what is happening in the small towns it hurdles across. Each can be read stand alone but it is a really great idea to follow along and see and experience each one.
This book is about Evelyn Cotton who with her father, runs Cottonwood Adventures. The business is struggling, mainly because her father won’t get allow her to grow it with good solid ideas. So Evie has to work as a dealer at the local casino to keep them afloat. As the storm Holly approaches Cottonwood, Evelyn, well prepared as her lifetime of outdoor training has ensured, has her dad safely set up at home and goes to work not knowing that her life will change drastically possibly forever. A man walks in and natchalauntly sits at her table. In shock she sees it’s Wyatt Jameson, the boy now a man who left her without a word eleven years ago, taking her heart with him. Her anger, pain and yes attraction all surface at once. This is the one place she knew he would never ever enter, a casino.
Wyatt is drawn to Evie even though he knows he shouldn’t, it could put her in extreme danger. He must see her but he must also get her to go home and not come back until the bad things about to happen are over. He could never live with himself if something happened to her.
However, everything goes wrong and Evelyn is caught exactly in the middle and they are now out exposed to the raging storm with thieves and possibly a killer that is dragging them along. Who’s side is he on? Evie can’t believe he is part of this group of bad guys and the leader? He is someone she thought could save her business.
All of Wyatt and Evelyn’s skills of survival are needed to survive the exposure to this blizzard and see if and where they go in the future.
I received this arc and freely give my own opinion of this book. I enjoyed it and I think you will too. It has all the components of a great story written well and with great relatable characters.
This book has everything you would want in a romantic suspense, and then some! Evie wants to run her family business, an outdoor adventure company. But the business has been failing lately, so she has taken a job as a dealer at the local casino in Deadwood in order to make enough to keep the business afloat. One evening on her shift, Evie sees someone that she never expected to see again, her old high school flame Wyatt. Wyatt has some explaining to do since he left town without so much as a goodbye, but Evie is too hurt to want to hear it. When the two of them get caught up in a scheme to commit a robbery at the casino, they have to cooperate with one another in order to survive. The action in this book is non-stop and fast-paced, so quick that you won’t want to put the book down until you have finished their story. I recommend this book to fans of romantic suspense and thrillers!

Coming face to face with Wyatt during a robbery was not something she counted on. But this outdoors girl is made of strong stuff and these robbers don’t know who they are messing with!
Great concept and superb characters. Loved the family dynamics that both tried to fight against. Evie’s dad is such a crotchety so-so! Storm Holly really did a number on the bad guys plans!
I enjoyed reading this story! Starts with Evelyn on her laptop waiting to see if the scheduled chat with the potential investor to save the family business comes on. But he never did and she had to get to her job at the casino before the weather gets worse. Wyatt is working with the FBI the money he gets will help his business. Evelyn is working and that is when she meets Wyatt and she remembers what he did to her years ago. I was drawn in to keep reading to find out what happens and how it turn out. I highly recommend this book!!!!!
