2 stars. I considered rating it 3 stars, but because I had to force myself to finish, I couldn't justify it. It wasn't a horrible book, nor badly written. I just couldn't get into the romance and I really disliked Shawn, especially after she visited Tracie. I just didn't feel the connection between Shawn & Carrie. Carrie was too quick to forgive. Personally, I was rooting for Carrie & Kelly - they seemed to have more chemistry together.

This is the first book I have read from this author and I think it is her first book as well. I liked the concept behind the book but I don't feel that characters and situations were as developed as they could have been which would have enhanced the story and even the connection between Shawn and Carrie. For example, the situation with Jess and Carrie was very briefly touched upon but never addressed again. Carrie said no and Jess just sorta dropped out completely. Then there was the issue with

Carrie is looking for a storybook romance and who better to give her that than the sexy romance novelist lying on her street. Unfortunately Shawn isn’t ready for what she and Carrie feel for one another…

This is a pretty good debut novel. Shawn and Carrie meet by accident and are drawn together by attraction and desire. The problem? Shawn's last relationship was a trainwreck and she's still trying to recover from it. It makes her wary and closed off to taking a chance on the possibilities she senses she'd have with Carrie. And that's a lot of the plot, and possibly the problem as well. Carrie does a lot of waiting around for Shawn to get her stuff together, and gives her more than one second cha

This is a very sweet, beautifully romantic book and I felt that I really knew the characters and wanted them to be together forever. Shawn has been badly treated by a former lover and is very wary of getting involved again. Carrie is a hopeless romantic, who loses herself in the kind of novels written by Shawn. Shawn knows Carrie wants the whole package and not a quick romp so keeps backing off when things get interesting. Believe me this is very frustrating - and not just for Carrie! They are o

Enjoyable Easy Read
Quite a good first debut effort. It was a “proper” romance story. Shawn a writer of Romance novels has had her heart broken by a fan turned lover. Carrie is a reader of romance novels looking for Ms Right.
Carrie falls for Shawn not knowing she is her favourite author. Shawn won’t commit because she is too afraid of getting her heart broken again. The romance “Chase” is on. I was enjoying it until I got to Tracy. I couldn’t see why Carrie thought the Shawn and Tracy incident wa ...more

This was quick read. Enjoyed the characters very much. The setting was spectacular. Glad Shawn was able to clear her head and allow herself to love Carrie. Don't know what I will do tonight not being able to see what they are up to. When is Hurricane Season Two coming out? I want to read more.

2016 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention: Hurricane Season by B.J. Phillips
Pretty good debut story. Some dialogue was a little quirky in my opinion. I really liked both MC's but the supporting cast could have been developed a bit more. The ending was a little drawn out as well. I would read other works from this author. ...more

Not what I expected
I read the first 2 chapters of this book and was captured by the story ahead...of boy was I disappointed. The characters are in their late 30s but the voices and actions were more teenagers like. I liked Carrie but Shawn wasn't well developed. ...more

loved the premise, liked the characters, but the internal dialogue ruined it for me. DNF at chapter 5.
