Kennalyn and David Stevens are getting ready to celebrate ten years of marriage when Kennalyn is visited by the Coast Guard. David has been in a boating accident and is at the hospital in a coma. Kennalyn rushes to see David only to discover his mother has taken her son to a private hospital. When Kennalyn arrives to see David, Mrs. Stevens is in complete control of the situation of her son’s wellness. She has never liked Kennalyn and intends to use her clout to her advantage. After David dies in the coma, Mrs. Stevens immediately demands a rapid funeral and insists upon a closed casket. Once again Kennalyn is faced with a manipulating mother-in-law who continues to inform her that she is not welcomed and never will be. With no where to turn, Kennalyn, and the children, little Davie and Brittany, return home to her dad’s lighthouse but the more she dwells on the loss of David, her heart tells her that something just doesn’t appear right on the surface.

Stormy View is a must read. Once I began reading, I couldn’t put this roller coaster ride down. The intensity between the mother, son and Kennalyn can be felt throughout the story as Hilda tries her utmost to erase Kennalyn from David’s life. The character of Kennalyn is strong in the way she handles the conniving, manipulative mother-in-law, who is worse than any wicked witch. Ms. Leigh pulls the reader immediately into the story. I could feel everything that the characters endured, even Hilda’s reactions each time she pointed that bony finger. This is one witch who certainly doesn’t require any broomstick for flying. Her evilness transcends through the pages. This is an incredible tale with great direction and a plot that spins a remarkable read that is absolutely visual in this page-turner. Whew, a recommended read that you don’t want to miss! Nikki Leigh incorporates a believing story with characters that ignite with incredible hope and prove that no matter how much spinning deceit revenge wishes to spin, true love and a rare romance blossoms to overcome any tornado destruction that tries to come in its path.
