Synopsis
Is the cure for a breakup a hookup?
Marissa Duplei has one mission. Pick herself up, dust the ex off, and get dirty with someone else. However, sexy, inked-up, metal-musician Jack Storm is not the average girl’s revenge fling.
A tour bus bang.
A one night stand gone awry.
A secret to keep at all costs.
Could it all lead to love?
♪♫ Marissa ♫♪
Looking back, everything about that day was a perfect storm.
My bestfriend’s score of two VIP passes the day before the Hang Fest. A giant hurricane with a generous shot of alcohol. A sexy metal musician who was opposite of my cheating fiancé in every way.
The inked up muscled arms holding a tiny puppy protectively to his bare chest told me there was more to him than met the eye.
I had to know more.
I’ve always been practical. I know I wouldn’t have seen him again if I hadn’t rolled out of bed and stepped into the shower.
♪♫ Jack ♫♪
That's true. A Perfect Storm.
There was the puppy my sister forced on me as an exercise in commitment.
And for damn sure, the cutoff shorts and tight sleeveless top she was wearing that day. The tan line well past the very short hem and way above the very low neckline of her tank top told me the packaging on this girl was deceptive.
I had to know more.
Much more.
It likely would have ended like every other hookup in that tour bus—if I hadn’t followed her into the shower afterward.
♪♫♫♪
That shower was the beginning of us.
The point where we became more than a chance possibility. The part never told in countless interviews.
I’m Marissa, and Jack may jump in. Here’s our story…
Author’s note
Eye of the Storms is the first POV, Spicy Hot, Original Edition of Marissa and Jack's story as written three years ago.
The 3rd POV Clean version was never acceptable to those who first loved Jack and Marissa as told in her voice and his—those who encouraged the story to be published and spent hours beta reading and making suggestions.
I love you guys, you are my rock stars. So here a year later, is the Anniversary Edition, aka the Original, Hot, First POV edition of Jack and Marissa.

Excerpt
So why this Marissa?
Why was she different?
I had no idea. I only knew I wanted to rock her world like it had never been shaken before. And I wanted to taste her… again…
I loved every sound she made, and I loved feeling her nails biting into my shoulders. She orgasmed with a melodic pitch, which cracked at the end of one long hum. I’d heard it enough in the last couple of hours now to be familiar with it, to fall for it. Her legs gelled, her weight falling to her palms on my shoulders.
Reflexively, I gripped her hips. Straightening, I quickly pulled her close, wanting to feel the pound of her heart and uneven breathing—wanting to experience the physiological effect I’d had on her, now that I’d heard the audible.
My hands slipped from her tits around to her backside, and remembering the quick glimpse of her ass, I spun her away for another look.
I could look at that view forever. Her arms were bent, palms to the faux tile pattern on the wall, and her head rested forward on the tiles. A totally submissive stance. And having this woman at my complete will turned me on like I hadn’t been in so long.

4 “Hey” "what if" stars
A refreshingly sweet and swoon worthy romance story.
Jack Storm and Marissa Duplei come across each other at a Rock festival, when a little cutie pie of a puppy catches Marissa's eye. Running wildly and still attached to his leash. Marissa scoops him up and they both go in search of his owner.
Marissa was a lot nicer than I would have been. If I came across this cutie, he would have been puppy napped.
Marissa stumbles across Jack Storm, puppy owner, lead vocalist for the Jackal, tatted hottiiieeee, and her perfect distraction from a cheating fiance. One quick fix way to get over one guy, is to shack up with another, Not in the literal sense, Just the provocative, sexy, passionate sense. Ohlallllaaaaaa!!
Forget the puppy (poor guy), there is an instant sizzling attraction between Jack and Marissa.
A one day stand with two scorching sessions, leaves both Marissa and Jack still reeling from their passionate encounter months later.
All good things come to those who wait.
Five
years later and Marissa is still holding on to the one blatantly obvious secret she
never mentioned. A situation arises that requires her to reach out to Jack. Seeking help, Marissa will be revealing the secret that kept her from accepting his invitation years ago to see him again. Although the secret is not a hard one to guess, I'll let you discover that on your own.
With Marissa and Jack forced back into each others lives, the connection they shared that one afternoon is still there. But there are far too many issues with them both. They have serious communication issues that leave these two constantly getting their signals crossed. Jack has trust issues, which is definitely understandable, in his type of business. Marissa has avoidance issues. The woman can evade like crazy. Talk about turning a topic around.
What I loved the most about this book, has been the small hint of anger when Marissa first calls Jack. That small amount of stormy anger seemed to stroke the entire bad boy "Rocker" vibe. The book isn't filled with much angst that one normally associates with Alpha males and bad boy rocker books. Jack is a "to die for" sweetie pie. He made me fall in love with him from the beginning. From his concern and soft hearted care, during their first "so called" anonymous encounter.
Marissa got me annoyed with her insecurities and games. This is where the avoidance issues comes in to play. Before she talks to Jack, she makes all these assumptions about him and as per usual, the judgy attitude towards all Rock Stars and the image they represent.
Lisa Gillis added such a wonderful blend of sweet and sultry with a hint of laugh out loud hilarity.
“Mariss, if anything, you’re too skinny. I thought stress
had you underweight…”
“Too skinny.” A gurgle of a laugh was on my lips. “That’s
such a line.”
“A line? Not one I ever used,” he scoffed, as he swung a
left.
“Well you just did.” – Marissa
“There’s not a girl alive who doesn’t know. When a guy says
that, he is wanting in your pants.”
“Jack couldn’t fit in your pants.” Tristan
“His legs are way too long.” Tristan
Ahhh the sheer innocence of a child. Thank God!
I was a little stomped with the ending, for me it ended abruptly. Non the less, it was such an endearing read that kept a smile on my face all through the book. I can't wait to see what happens next.
