I got caught out in the worst rainstorm of the century. My car broke down on the highway and only one tow truck driver is willing to brave the elements to rescue me. When the dark, mysterious, and brooding Manny shows up, I’m a bit intimidated by him and turned on. After an awkward conversation, I learned he’s a Dom without a sub. I never thought of myself as the submissive type. Turns out I’m … wrong.
I wasn’t looking for a new submissive after the last one turned stalker chick. Thank God for restraining orders and prisons. But Raine wants to experience the lifestyle and her curious open mind and luscious curves are more than I can resist. Let the training begin…

You never know who you will meet on a dark and stormy night
Not too sure what happened but I found this book loaded onto my Kindle from a year ago and decided to read it, as I have read and enjoyed several of Kitty Barstow’s other books. Dark N’ Stormy is the story of Raine and Manny who have a definite instant chemistry. What follows is a sexy BDSM story between a Dom who takes one look at the beautiful Raine and knows he wants her as his sub. The only problem may be that Raine has never been a sub and does not thinks she is one. Let’s just say that there are some very steamy and sexy training session. This story does sort of go off in a couple different directions which confused me as to the actual story-line. But overall this was an enjoyable story with some super hot and sexy parts.
I received a copy of this book and am leaving my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
A very well written story. Nice storyline and plot. Main characters have a nice chemistry and they are well described and defined. They were somehow meant to meet so they could help each other. Absolutely a couple that fits beautifully together in all. Healing is a lot of things.
A story on the shorter side but it shows how a relationship can be many things. Also when it is on the darker side.
Recommendable if you like your story with some darkness, kink and steam.
Raines is out in a storm when her car breaks down. The only tow truck willing to brave the weather is Manny. Manny is a Dom that has had trouble with his last sub and not interested in a repeat. Raines is curious to learn and experience more but she certain the lifestyle is for her. Only one way to find out but both of these characters have to move forward from the past. A great story! Enjoy!

First time reading Kitty Barstow’s books and I think I’m a fan. This book had me hooked from the beginning. Even though this book was mostly about BDSM (with some sweet romance elements mixed in), it had me entertained from the start. I loved Manny and Raine’s banter. It was fun and playful. They hit it off so well. The training sessions while intense gave a lot of insight into that world where somebody as vanilla Raine would be safe to explore her sexuality. Manny was very thorough and patient…he was great. Anyone starting out should have someone like him as the teacher Dom. Now I’m really enjoying the book until I reached towards the last chapters. It started going downhill when Raine confronted Manny about their relationship. These chapters seemed rushed and didn’t explore Manny’s issues with not having total control in the bedroom, explore Manny stalker situation, Raine’s sudden attraction to neighbor, and/or Manny and Raine reconciliation. No epilogue…not all stories need an epilogue but I really would loved to see how they managed in the future. I was soooooooooo disappointed at the ending I had to rate 4 stars instead of 5 stars. This ending issue didn’t turn me off with the author…I still loved the book it was good!

This is my first time reading this author. The book is pretty short so only takes about 2 hours to read. I enjoyed the book and thought the characters were meant for each other.
Manny gets a call to help someone who broke down in a rainstorm, he owns a tow truck. She notices that he’s dark, brooding and she’s really turned on. They have a conversation and Raine finds out that he’s a Dom. She doesn’t think she’s a submissive type. After talking they decide to try the lifestyle and finds that she really likes it. Great story of self discovery and passion. Will their story find an HEA? I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
The great plot was well written and the characters were so well developed that as I turned each page the chemistry between the characters kept me totally hooked until the very last page!

Manny and Raine together find out things about themselves they didn’t know. Together she brings out this dom and heals him and he does the same to her.
When trouble brews and he pushes her away they be able to get back to where they were?
Love in dom/sub relationship can bring highs and lows like no other. When Raine believes her love isn’t returned Manny can’t find words until she’s gone. So many raw emotions.
