Sapphire and her brother Aries have led a life under the radar, so to speak. Since the day their parents were killed, they've hidden away-away from the city life, away from people and away from love. When Sapphire finds a strange man in her woods, she realizes this is the first time she's ever been attracted to someone at first sight. For the first time since her parents died, she wants to live for herself, consequences be damned! However, Sapphire and her brother have a secret...a secret they've kept to themselves for a long time-a secret that might come in between her and her stranger.When Adam awakes to see Sapphire standing over him, he's sure he's in Heaven. She's just so beautiful. As he recovers from his head injury and gets to know her, he finds himself falling in love. Adam has his own secret, however. One that he knows will send Sapphire running...away from him. He'll do everything in his power to keep from losing her, but will it be enough?
I have no idea how to put into words what I'm feeling as I close this book right now. I am dumbounded, emotionally spent, totally in love with the characters-while at the same time, happy, uplifted and ecstatic. I have yet to find a story from Ms. Rainey that hasn't set my heat a soaring and TURBULENT PASSIONS definitely did so. I was hooked from the very first sentence and bawled like a baby when it ended. Ms. Rainey definitely knows how to hook her readers and keep them enthralled throughout. Sapphire and her brother Aries broke my heart. Their secret has never been shared with anyone and they've only had each other to depend on for too long. When Adam comes crashing into Sapphire's life it's almost like I was seeing her come out of her coccoon and develops into a beautiful butterfly with his touch. Adam is suffering from amnesia when we first meet him. I was so angry with him when he chose not to tell Sapphire the truth about his job and his life. However, I did understand his fear of losing her over it and I knew he'd do the right thing in the end. Turbulent isn't a strong enough word to describe the passion that explodes between Adam and Sapphire. To me it was absolutely jaw droping in its intensity. Woven with heat, romance and suspense and wrapped around light paranormal aspects, TURBULENT PASSIONS is my favorite book of the year!
