Description

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.

Emma Miller, a probationary security consultant posing as a reporter, is stranded at Portal International Airport in the worst storm in eighty years. She’s reassigned to protect a top-secret High Containment Lab in the international airport that houses the deadliest bio-contaminate diseases on the planet. A lab under attack by international terrorists who want those pathogens to sell on the black-market.

Dr. Gregory Mason Martin is a bio-containment specialist who runs the top-secret lab, and he knows Emma well. They grew up together, went to school together, and she’s always fascinated him, but she has a long-standing habit of going through men like water, so he’s kept his distance. He doesn’t dare to trust her or her abilities.

Now, all these years later, they must work together to protect the lab and stop the terrorists from obtaining the pathogens. And they must protect the pathogens from Holly, the deadly storm barreling mercilessly toward them. If those pathogens are stolen, the world will be held hostage, and worse, if mishandled, the country could be facing the worst pandemic in history. A pandemic that in short order could wipe out not just cities and states, but the entire nation.

Both are willing to risk their lives. Both are reluctant to risk their hearts. Yet events prove neither of them is who they were thought to be. And a fierce battle against terrorists and the storm proves challenging but no match for the challenges chambered in their human hearts.

I downloaded this and read it today. Excellent, believable story. Thoroughly enjoy this author and this novel was no exception. Mason and Emma are childhood friends who haven't seen each other in years. Suspenseful and engaging support characters.

Emma works under a deep-cover as a reporter for a covert agency. She is really a newbie security specialist. Her bosses aren't exactly happy with her - not only do her looks garner interest wherever she goes, but her writing is being lauded. Not exactly flying under the radar!

With Storm Holly on her way Emma is diverted to bring extra security to a hidden lab under Portal International Airport. She was a bit overwhelmed when she realises the guy in charge is her childhood friend and unrequited crush! Mason still can't understand why his call for aid to HQ has landed him a reporter. Especially one with such flighty tendencies as Emma. God knows he lusted after her but he wasn't willing to be another flavour of the week in the buffet!

As the storm intensifies Mason, Emma and the other inhabitants of the lab and Airport are going to face a major challenge when someone goes after the viruses in the lab.

Oh wow. What a great read. I loved little Jacob and Olivia. Olivia is going to be handful when she gets older! I was a bit overawed by the lab under the airport. How on earth did that get past the planners???? I could have slapped Emma and Mason occasionally for being pig-headed and cowardly when they should have taken a big dose of courage and went for what they wanted!

This was my first book by Vicki Hinze and I really enjoyed it. Deep a freeze kept me engaged from the start. I look forward to reading the other books in the Storm series.

If you like lots of action, this book definitely delivers! Solid plot line and I literally read late into the night, couldn't put it down. I have read some books by this author years ago and her writing, I think, is even better than I remember. I received an e-book from NetGalley in return for an unbiased review.

Winter storm Holly means big business as it bears down on Colorado with travelers stranded all over the state including Portal International Airport. Unbeknownst to the weary, trapped travelers, a top-secret High Containment Lab containing some of the deadliest pathogens known to man is right below their feet! And worse, there is credible evidence that an attack on the lab is imminent!

Emma Miller, a security specialist on probation posing as a reporter, who has been grounded in Portal on her way home from her last assignment but now is redirected to handle this emergency. She has been directed to protect a bio-lab located under the airport from a bio-terrorist group. She must assess the situation and keep the chatter about an upcoming breach from becoming a reality! Emma soon discovers that the director of the lab is Dr. Gregory Mason, a man from her past that is the one man that has always doubted her.

Dr. Gregory Mason Martin is a bio-containment specialist who runs the top-secret lab and knows Emma well. They grew up together and went to school together but in his mind, her "flighty" nature leaves him doubting her abilities to stop the threat and keep the lab safe from the terrorists determined to breach security to get their hands on the deadly secrets within the lab. With threats coming at them from all sides and lives on the line, Emma and Mason might just learn a few things about each other and themselves as they fight to keep everyone safe from both nature and the men willing to set off a pandemic of epic proportion for the love of money.

It's a race against time as a colleagues child becomes ill during an attack. Both Emma and Gregory must put away the past and fight to save them all. Before a deadly pathogen can wipe them all out. A fast and action-packed book that will keep you on the edge of your seat! I am looking forward to reading the next installment in this series.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley for an honest review.

Winter storm Holly is descending on Colorado with a vengeance and Emma Miller is stuck at the Portal International Airport. She was on her way to her next assignment as a security consultant in the guise of an investigative reporter. Plans have changed and she is to assist Dr. Gregory Martin, a bio containment specialist. She and Gregory have been at cross purposes for years as she thought he wasn’t interested and he was waiting for her to realize that he was the one for her. Unbeknownst to the public, there is a high containment lab under the airport that was to be moved to Atlanta, but due to the storm has been postponed. Gregory soon realizes that Holly is not just a reporter as she works to counter a threat of a terrorist attack. It will take all their combined skills to protect the dangerous pathogens and keep the public safe. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review.

Review featured at www.books-n-kisses.com

I became a fan of Hinze with the Seascape Trilogy (OH HOW I LOVE THAT SERIES!!!) but this is far from that series.

In this story there is a secret lab under an airport which is bogged in by a snowstorm. Having thousands of people stranded is bad enough but let's add terrorists and a lab filled with bio-chemicals putting them all in danger.

The writing is great which is not unexpected with Vicki Hinze but, of course, the storyline is completely unrealistic. I mean a major lab under a major airport??? Nope! But then we don’t always read a book for reality do we?

If you are looking for a take you out of your own head suspense this is the one for you.

Emma is a security specialist, but her friends know her as a reporter! When a blizzard grounds her plane in Portal she is reassigned to protect a possible threat to a lab there. The doctor over the lab turns out to be her childhood crush Mason! Can Emma and Mason make new memories while fighting bad guys and something much more deadly then a bad guy? Great read!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book for an honest review.

Emma posing as a reporter gets stranded in a Colorado airport....while there, she gets a call that she needs to protect the bio-lab which is located under the airport from terrorists! Mason, the guy from her past that she always has had a crush on runs the lab.....

This book is intense romantic suspense, a little far fetched but overall it was good.

Sadly missed Book 1.. Goood book but need to read the first one first. Fast action packed, the two main characters learn a lot about each other.

this was a good read, I actually didn't read the first book so I was a little confused. I did enjoy reading this and look forward to reading the next book in the series.

This is book 2 in the thrilling Stormwatch series and I loved it! All the books in the series seem to be based around winter storm, Holly. The first things that caught my eye were the words winter storm and deadly pathogens both of these are key words that for some reason make me immediately want to read the book. What can I say? I'm a weirdo. You have a deadly storm, you have deadly pathogens and you have terrorists so you just know it is going to be a non-st0p thrill ride, Add to that the two main characters that have to work together to save the world while coming to grips with their feelings for each other. You might have suspend belief while reading this book but you will be highly entertained. I really enjoyed this race against time romance!
