Hurricane Kisses: A Billionaire Love Story (The Kisses Series Book 5) Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 628 ratings

"Love at first sight is something for fairy tales. It doesn't last in real life."

Olivia Statler hates Logan Hayes. It's not the fact that he's an executive of a rival travel company, or the fact that he's trying to buy her company, or even the fact that he won't leave her alone. Two years ago, the two of them seemed to have something that was amazing and real, but Logan's ego got in the way.

When a new resort offers her an all-expense-paid trip to woo new clients, she figures that a working vacation is just what she needs. As the youngest CEO in the travel business, she's honored and flattered. However, she isn't the only executive that the resort invited. When Olivia sees the broad shoulders and blonde hair of Logan Hayes, her heart races. Half of it is raw sexual attraction, half of it is anger at what he did to her.

Logan is determined to reignite their past spark, but Olivia does everything possible to avoid him. However, a hurricane strikes and traps them on the island, making it impossible to ignore the changed man in front of her. Only a storm as powerful as their passion will show them love or hate. Can romance survive the storm – or will their hurricane kisses be swept away forever?

“Everything you hate was done by my father. I don't want your company.” His brown eyes were flames, and my soul was the moth. I couldn't have escaped from his gaze if I had been blinded. He moved close enough that those eyes were all I could see. “I want you.”

I blinked twice. That was not what I was expecting. His words startled and excited me, but before my brain could analyze and process them, his hand was around the back of my neck and his lips were on mine.

His mouth was hot and insistent as he pressed it against mine. I fought for a moment, but his grip was too strong and his kiss too sweet. It was a kiss I had craved for two years and had tried to convince myself I could do without. I wanted to give in to him completely, but I was still too angry to budge even an inch. Instead, I just stood there like a statue as he kissed me. I was furious and turned on beyond anything I could imagine. After a moment, he pulled back and searched my face.

“What was that for?” I surprised myself with the amount of venom in my voice. His kiss had sent want scorching down into the very marrow of my bones, but I needed someone to be angry with, and he was the closest person. He had hurt me. His eyebrows came together above those beautiful eyes. Hope fell as he saw something in my expression that disappointed him.

Without thinking, I put my hand on the back of his neck and pressed my mouth into his. He didn't hesitate, kissing me back with a need that matched my own. He pushed me up against the wall. Our tongues interlocked as we found the valve for the sexual tension that had been building between the two of us for the past two years. My body responded to his every touch with a fervor I couldn't contain. Didn't want to contain. I wanted it to consume us both...

    Wow! This was so exciting. What even made it more interesting to me is, that I started reading this just 2 days after having survived Hurricane Matthew here on the east-central coast of Fl. Yep, you got it....I live right on the border of Palm Bay- Melbourne area, right where the Category #4 Hurricane Matthew came within 10 miles of our shores. After living in Fl. for the last 32 years; it wasn't my first hurricane by a long shot, and I guarantee it probably won't be my last....I assure you. So when this author was describing the the dark gray skies, the howling winds, the torential down pours, flying debris, huge trees being uprooted like they were nothing more than mere twigs, and flying through the air, I can honestly say that Ms. Lakes had that part of the description down pat!!! Which makes me wonder if she has actually been through something like this herself, or if she did some really intense research on the subject.

    I loved the push and pulled between Olivia and Logan, but I also loved the connection of Tyler and Logan, as well as the stray, Spock. I felt the strong attraction between these two, and the sparks that ignited between them whenever they were together. It was nice to see how Logan understood what Tyler needed and offered it, since he had once been there as a young boy, himself. And what is a boy without his dog? That part of the story was priceless. I am so glad that Logan finally grew a pair and took his dad to task, but I have to wonder why it took him so long to finally do it, when he felt so strongly about Olivia right from the start.

    Both are wonderful, fully developed characters and I especially loved the fact that Olivia was a saavy, smart, and very determined businesswoman. I do hope that Maddy finally finds her HEA, especially after what her ex put her through. Plus...Tyler needs to have a good male role model he can look up to, and learn from, too.

    I have read the first 6 books in The Kisses series. I have really enjoyed each book - quick, sweet, page turning sweet love stories. "Hurricane Kisses" is definitely one of my favorites in the series so far. I love their second chance love story. There are twists and turns, drama, great friendships, deep love, and most of all a cameo by the couple from the previous story. "Hurricane Kisses" is quite the page turner, especially the last 1/3 of the book. I'm looking forward to reading the remaining books in The Kisses Series.
  • Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2014
    I've read all of the Kisses books by Krista Lakes, so I was really excited to check this one out, too. It's a bit different from the rest of them in a lot of ways. The premise sort of opens up similarly to Saltwater Kisses, but then it changes a lot.

    Olivia is the CEO of a small travel company with a lofty goal. It took some work, but she's started doing really well with her company and it's something she's extremely passionate about. I really enjoyed that part of it, because it's something I can relate to. Everyone has hopes and dreams, you know? She went out on a huge limb in order to make her passion a reality, and it paid off in the end.

    Though... not without a price. Logan is kind of her competitor, but not really. His company can basically crush hers, and she originally went to him for some help with starter funding, but... that didn't go so well in the end. He's kind of full of himself and a little formal and pompous, too. Not so great of a match.

    So when they meet during a working vacation at a new resort that's looking to build some good business relationships, things aren't so good. He's a jerk, she's the new girl on the block, their businesses are in direct competition, and unfortunately he's drop dead gorgeous. (Why does it always have to be the sexy ones that cause so many issues? I just don't understand...)

    There might be more to Logan than meets the eye, though. There's definitely more to Olivia. She's not some pushover, you know? He's going to have to make some concessions if he wants to show her how he feels, except I don't really know if that's in his character. The tension is palpable and wonderful to read about because of all these things, though. It's not just flirty and sexual, but competitive, which I think makes the story really attractive in a lot of ways. Who's going to win? What's going to happen? Except in this game of love, if one person wins, what about the other? You sort of need two winners for a relationship, but I don't quite think they realize that at first...

    This is a great romance story, though. It's a different sort of Kisses story in a lot of ways, but a really good one. I think it'd be a great summer beach read, too. If you like sweet summer romance and "I like you but I hate you at the same time" sorts of love stories, this one is definitely for you. I really enjoyed it a lot!
