You'll be swept away - a must-read for Sutcliffe fans,
By "kvazimodo" (West Hartford, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Windstorm (Paperback)
This book was totally worth the money I paid for it. You're guaranteed to stay up all night reading it. This just confirms my belief that anything with a "Katherine Sutcliffe" name on it is a keeper.The main characters were very well developed. Autumn - beautiful and headstrong, with hidden fears, will absolutely charm you. Brice is to-die-for with a total package(he definitely made my toes curl). Sparks fly, and these two amazing individuals quickly fall in love. Love scenes are sensual and sweet. The ending was scary - the female villain is plain sinister, though maybe a little undeveloped. Read "Windstorm",a highly entertaining romance packed with passion, sacrifice, and forgiveness. Katherine Sutcliffe has proven once more that she is an undeniable talent.

Strange.....,
By Krista Lyn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Windstorm (Paperback)
I have found that Katherine Sutcliffe is a TRUE "hit or miss" for me. Some of her books reside on my coveted "keeper" shelf...and others are immediately donated! Unfortunately this one is going in the donated pile!
This book is just plain silly and very strange. It takes place on a tropical island in the Carribean. Autumn had gone with her brother and sister-in-law in search of her "husband" who wed her and then disappeared. Autumn learns that her husband is dead, but his brother is very much alive! Brice Donovan convinces Autumn to pretend he is his dead brother...her husband. As they fight their desire for one another there are "evil" forces at work on the island. A woman named Annee Rose holds a mysterious power over Brice and there are a host of other "mysterious characters" with whom share a past with Brice and his family. This was totally unlike anything I've read before...and in this case it wasn't a good thing. This was a strange and disjointed book that quite frankly didn't make a lot of sense. There was almost a "gothic or tribal" feeling to the island. Things are explained (sort of), but like the TV show LOST, I found myself thinking "just get off the island!" Frustrating! Try Dream Fever or Darkling, I Listen....2 of my favorite Sutcliffe books! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Good Read,
By D. Elder "Faira" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Windstorm (Paperback)
Autumn agrees to marry Roy Donovan to get away from the loving control of her brother Mitchell. Roy promises her she can keep wearing her britches and she will not have to birth any children with him, as birthing a child is something she fears, seeing her mother and other women die in child birth. Robert wants Autumn for the money she can put into his Hunnington Hall plantation on the volcanic island of Cayemite. After Roy marries Autumn, he leaves to take care of business he says and when he does not come back for her, she decides to go to Cayemite. She tells her brother about her marriage and Mitchell and her sister-in-law accompany her to the Island and her husband Rob. But Rob is dead and it is his brother Brice she finds at Hunnington Hall. Instant attraction, and they let her brother believe that Brice is actually Rob. That way She does not have to leave with her brother and Brice feels like Autumn can save his soul, that a mad woman, Madame Annee Rose is trying to control. Annee Rose wants Brice and Hunnington Hall, anyone in her way dies.
I liked the story, although I never felt like the reason that Brice stayed on the Isle under that Mad woman's control ever made any real sense. When ever he was in her presence he turned into a puddle of butter, unable to control his male urges with her even when he knew she had killed his father, brother, and others and would also go after Autumn. Anne Rose sedated him into compliance at the end but not at any of the other times. I just felt he was very weak when it came to Rose, too weak when he claimed he hated her. I just don't know why he didn't take Autumn and leave the Island much sooner. The reason given that he stayed on the Island and in that mad woman's control for so long, was just really weak to me. I really liked the boy Pierre, and I wished he had been in the story even more and that his powers had been explained. Also, at the ending of the book, I wish it would have followed through with what happened to everyone after leaving the Island. But it was a good read and worth reading. I would have given it a five star if a few things in the plot had been explained a little better. 4 of 8 people found the following review helpful:
