La encantadora estrella del rock Joley Drake naciĂł con un legado extraordinario, la capacidad de fascinar con su voz a los que la escuchan. Pero el mismo don que le ha dado celebridad mundial, la ha convertido en una prisionera de la fama, la fortuna y la ambiciĂłn.
Joley podría conseguir a cualquier hombre que se propusiera, pero cuando descubre que su vida está amenazada, el único hombre que quiere a su lado es su peligrosamente sexy guardaespaldas. El único problema es que su reputación como asesino ruso puede suponer un riesgo aún mayor.

I think this is my favorite so far. I liked the concert tour setting, and Ilya is probably the most intriguing love interest, in part because he is from a family with powers similar to the Drake sisters’. That scene in the third book when Ilya reverses Joley’s spell and leaves his mark on her is one of the most memorable of the series.
So many of the men in these books never had their own loving family, and that aspect of these couples getting together lends extra charm to the series—people finding belonging and family with the Drakes.
As always, there’s quite a lot of sex, and it’s pretty exaggerated and drawn out. I’m not opposed to the steamy stuff, but I enjoyed the tenderness and care between the characters more—the way Ilya was moved by Joley watching out for him and the way they connected when they let their guard down.
One more book before I get back to my regularly scheduled reading. It’s been fun gulping these down. ( )

Turbulent Seair
Drake Sisters, Book 6

I Picked Up This Book Because: Continue the series that I didn’t finish a million years ago.

The Characters:

Joley Drake:
Ilya Prakenskii:

The Story:

I’m too lazy to write a real review. Overall I like the book. I’ve read so many Sea Haven/Sisters of the Heart books that I forgot there was a time when the Drakes didn’t trust the Prakenskii brothers.

The Random Thoughts:

Not having specific song/album names drove me crazy for some reason

I really liked the male protagonist, but felt the female was whiny and annoying. Feehan has a bad habit of adding superfluous character and a stupid plot. Focus on the couple! ( )

Although I gave up on Feehan's Carpathians years ago, and never really go into her Ghostwalkers, I adore this series. This book has always been my favorite of them. Until this last re-read.

I still liked this book, but the small inconsistencies bothered me a lot more this time around. The way Joley kept getting distracted in the beginning bothered me. It seemed liked her safety was important some of the time, but most a non-issue. Considering there's someone trying to kill her and Ilya is her bodyguard, that didn't jive for me.

I still enjoyed their relationship. Ilya and Joley were great together. Joley's resisting frustrated me some, but I understand her reasons.

While I enjoyed this, I would have to say Hidden Currents and Dangerous Tides were better. Of course, I'm saying that before having re-read them, so we'll see... ( )

"Turbulent Sea"

Darkness lives inside me
A secret that I hide
The light that comes from all the rest
Is lost upon the tides

A touch of lightning--magic
Has left me marked and cold
I want...I need...I crave for me
A love that sells my soul

Like a turbulent sea
Pulling at me
I'm drowning in passion and fear
With all that I am--or ever will be
I must fight for what I hold dear

And I fight
For what is right
But shadows follow...
Me into the night

I sing and I cry and I scream at the night
To change an unchangeable fate

The wave crashes
In my heart
Darkness follows
Light departs

Like a turbulent sea
Pulling at me
I'm drowning

Joley Drake stared in a kind of sick dread at the mob of people crowding the gates and fence.
