YOWZA!! If dark, brooding, dominant Alphas trip your trigger, then you are in for a treat when you pick up "Turbulent Sea" by Christine Feehan! This is the sixth book in her series about 7 magical sisters and the special men each find to fulfill her destiny. Although the series is not erotica, it's definitely hot enough to keep us horny doggettes happy.


Joley is the sister with magic in her voice and she combined that voice with her love for music into a career as the lead singer for a rock band. But the more successful the band became, the more problems emerged and now she's under threat from several different directions. Into that storm steps the man who can either be her dream come true or her worst nightmare.

Ilya lives a half-life, going through the motions and doing whatever is necessary to stay alive. Then he hears HER voice and it's like the sun burning away the shadows on his soul. He wants her and he'll have her, but the more time they spend together, the worse the aching hunger gets.

I want to BE Joley...with Ilya. That man puts the X in sex, and with a foreign accent to boot!! Although many reviewers gripe about the unrealistic scenarios Christine Feehan uses, I have enjoyed every book in this series. Of course, I read books for entertainment, not reality...books are my escape FROM reality. Maybe that's why I enjoy her writing so much. Her characters have to learn to trust each other and work together, and I like that. They may be very attracted to each other, but they don't jump into bed unless and until it means more than just a casual horizontal tango. I like that. The women are strong (altho Joley can be a mite too argumentative at times), and I like that. The men may be brooding Alphas, but they'll do whatever is needed to protect and make their woman happy...and I love that.

I do think this book has more heft to it than the last couple in this particular series, both length- and plot-wise. The answers aren't necessarily easy or quick and the mystery is cagier. I didn't pick out all the bad guys right away and there were times I even wondered about Ilya. So if you've stayed away from this series because of other reviews, you may just want to give this book a try. I know I'm on pins and needles since I already know who the lead characters for the next book will be and I've been waiting for their story for a couple of years now. It's titled "Hidden Current" and her website www.christinefeehan.com says it's scheduled for release in the summer of 2009. It's already on my list!
