I was hailed as the future king of the NFL.I’m Theo Fierro – everyone knows my name.I worked hard. Played harder. I had my eye on the prize.Until it was gone.Then fate crossed my path with Bexley.A siren who put fire in my heart.And every dream and goal became about her.Until it ended.She was a whirlwind of savage possession I wasn’t prepared for.No warning could have ever saved me from being … warning could have ever saved me from being swept up in her tornado.
AND LIKE ALL STORMS … ONE DAY IT RETURNED.
One day it begged for forgiveness, and for my heart.
She had her reasons. And I have mine for resisting.
No matter what, our lives are irrevocably entwined.
Because as all storms go … the allure to chase them is irresistible.
AND MY QUEEN NEEDED TO KNOW WHO SHE BELONGED TO.
Disclaimer: Though there’s a few footballs in this book, it is not a sports romance. All the mushy kissing makes up for any lack of sports-balls.
Complete Standalone; The series can be read out of order.

Wow what a great story this was. Theo the all American football college student and then there is shy quiet girl Bexley. These two together made me all giddy. This book tho brought out all the feels, so much happens to this couple that we can obviously tell were made for each other.
This book blew my expectations out of the water. Theo and Bexley to you through such an emotional journey and it wrecked my heart. This book is worth going through everything to ring that HEA.
Superstar Theo, eldest Fierro cub and Beautiful nerd artist Bexley have an all-consuming and riveting story. Theirs is a raging storm of passion, turmoil, deep unbridled love and lots of tears. Both blissfully happy tears and tears of utter despair on the behalf of both Theo and Bex at different times throughout their story.
It’s really difficult to put into words just how deeply their story affected me without giving away spoilers. I am in awe of the way this Author’s words pulls you down into the pages and can make one feel so much emotion.
I’ll end with this as penned in the book: After the storm always comes the rainbow. Do Theo and Bex get their rainbow after the storm? You’ll have to read this book and find out!

I enjoyed this story and characters. The chemistry was so good, I felt it throughout. I really like the way the story flowed.
Storm, you say? Oh, yes! There’s a storm alright! Just when I thought Noah couldn’t be beaten, along comes his cub. The chemistry between the characters comes off the page and the story is both entertaining and heartbreaking at the same time. Trust me, you’re going to want to eat your feelings after this bad boy.
This story is complicated and I don’t want to give too much away. I love “next generation” books after I have read series and this is a good one! Theo truly falls in love for the first time only to be nearly completely ghosted for years with the exception of a surprise on his doorstep and some letters. He changes his life completely and makes the best of it. He grows and matures. And then Bexley reappears. The story is heartbreaking, but there is redemption after the tears and heartaches.
This was my first foray into the From Manhattan series, but I’m a longtime fan of the author, so I just knew I’d love this story regardless of being introduced to the series late. It looks like I started with a great one, though, because Theo Fierro is everything a girl swoons over! The college football king meets his match in tiny art nerd Bexley and they have a whirlwind romance that culminates in one heck of a storm that Theo gets thrown into. And then we get to see Theo grow and mature and live his life in a way that we don’t get to see in many romance novels. I’m used to reading most romance stories from the female’s perspective, but here we actually get more of Theo’s story instead of Bexley’s, which is different and refreshing. Theo is presented with a “problem” that literally changes the course of his life, and we also see how he struggles with his feelings for Bexley at various stages of his life, both during their college years and afterward. I promise that you will never meet a hero like Theo and you will never meet a female character that you love to hate and hate to love as much as Bexley. Overall, the story deserves more than 5 stars because it’s so raw and so realistic. The author did an absolutely fantastic job in bringing these characters to life and I cannot wait to see what’s in store for the next Fierro sibling.
There are a few things in this authors work that are always a given: there will be high emotion, there will be bread crumbs sprinkled throughout, there will be steamy all consuming sexiness and there will be love.
Manhattan Storm gives you all the angst, emotion and sexiness that we have come to love in this series. In this book we meet Theo, the oldest cub to the Lion and his Kitten. We get to see him as a young man and watch him grow into adulthood. We get to go through his successes, pain and joy. We get to watch him meet his love, Bexley and once again experience that fierce Fierro bonding.
The world building in the Manhattan Series is incredible. You feel like you are part of a real family. This writer is a one click author for me and reading her work while looking for all the hidden gems is part of the fun. I love Pretty Woman!
“After the storm always comes the rainbow”. I can’t wait for this series to continue.
Theo and Bex will make you sigh at their cuteness, cry with them, and love them at the same time. Theo is a football player until something happens to take that away. He meets Bex, the artist that thinks he’s out of her league, and the chemistry is off the charts. Football is Theo’s love but Bex is the woman that he can’t forget. Bex had to do what she did and I hated it but understood. Oh the heartbreak for them both. This was a great read and can be read as a standalone within the series.
This was an angst rollercoaster! I loved them together in the beginning and I found it hard to believe I might be able to forgive Bex later and then I wanted to smack Theo upside the head! It was totally worth it and I definitely recommend it! I can’t wait to read the other sibling stories
If you are looking for a book filled with love, steamy scenes, a football star that falls hard, a skeptical h that needs to be won over and an emotional roller coaster ride that needs a box of tissues THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!! Theo Fierro has it all the King of football at Clemson he is well liked, well loved and well on his way to a great future. But one night Bexley crosses his path and Theo finds himself drawn to her in way that won’t let go. Working to prove he’s more than a player football star, Theo finds himself falling in love. But Bexley is a hard girl to catch and once he does they seem destined for forever until they aren’t. I knew after reading the prolong to expect it but V. Theia caught me off guard and I didn’t seem it coming. Nor did I realize how she would do it, WOW, all I can say is that I was surprised, shocked and heartbroken. Not many authors still manage to give us an unexpected twist but V. Theia does and does it well. Thank you for ripping my heart out and then putting it back together. Loved this book and highly recommend it all.
What an incredible story that will rip you apart and put you back together again. After reading The Manhattan Series, I hoped there would be a story about Noah and Sena’s son, Theo. We meet him at college where he’s the BMOC but without the arrogance and is depicted as an all around good guy. When he meets Bexley, he is instantly smitten as is she, but she has no time for relationships. As Theo pursues her, you hope he wears down her defenses. They are perfect for each other, at least that is what I think. But life doesn’t always go as planned, does it. My heart broke so many times and I cried rivers, but then that just shows how incredible this story is. You will feel so many emotions, your head will be spinning. I was caught up in their story from the very first sentence, and so will you. I am truly in awe of this author and how with just her words she makes you fall in love with Theo and Bexley and they are forever imbedded in my heart and soul. Please do yourself a favor and read this phenomenal story!!
Theo and Bexley are one of my favorite couples now. Ms Theia knows how to grab her readers by the balls and keep us entangled in the magic her words possess. While we sit there happy for it. It was a perfect mixture of love and heartbreak. It was beautifully done. The story seemed as though it was real. I cannot wait for the next book to come out.
Theo and Bexley have to be a top favorite now! I feel as though I say this with each read… However, the statement still stands true. I devoured this read way to fast, immediately going for a second read because I enjoyed it just that much. Love, tragedy and of course our wonderful happy ending. I couldn’t ask for more when it comes to this book because even through the heartbreak when tragedy hit, I loved every second of it. I cannot stress enough how enjoyable this read was. And how real this love story feels. Emotions running high at every turn, and I’m full of anticipation for the next move in this world V has created… Of course she leaves me wanting the next book in the series!
MANHATTAN STORM was a book I literally inhaled in one sitting. From the very beginning I just hooked, maybe it was the way Ms. Theia sets the story up, I knew this one would be amazing and I wasn’t wrong. We first get a tiny glimpse of the man Theo will become in his parents duet (Taboo Love Duet ) and I couldn’t wait for his book!! I love sports romances so add in a hot college football player who makes my eyes swoon with the delicious things he says and does and a heroine I immediately loved and I am one happy book whore.
The author says this isn’t a “sportsball” romance, but there’s a lot of tight football pants. I say it totally is though! <3 I don't want to spoil... but this isn't just a second chance trope, it also has a surprise trope that I didn't see coming but it's the MAKING OF THEO FIERRO!! He steps up and god, that man was perfect.
Manhattan Storm is a book I can easily say needs to be on the TBR lists of new adult romance fans, sports romance fan, or just anyone looking for a really good book because this is the book for you if you are. You will definitely be left satisfied and HUNGRY for the next in this beautiful standalone series. I'm ready for you, LACHIE!!!
