Tempest | Beverly Jenkins
27 posts | 22 read | 5 to read
From USA Today Bestselling Author Beverly Jenkins comes a new novel in a mesmerizing series set in the Old West, where an arranged marriage becomes a grand passion . . .What kind of mail-order bride greets her intended with a bullet instead of a kiss? One like Regan Carmichael--an independent spirit equally at home in denims and dresses. Shooting Dr. Colton Lee in the shoulder is an honest error, but soon Regan wonders if her entire plan to marry a man she's never met is a mistake. Colton, who buried his heart along with his first wife, insists he only wants someone to care for his daughter. Yet Regan is drawn to the unmistakable desire in his gaze.Regan's far from the docile bride Colton was expecting. Still, few women would brave the wilds of Wyoming Territory for an uncertain future with a widower and his child. The thought of having a bold, forthright woman like Regan in his life--and in his arms--begins to inspire a new dream. And despite his family's disapproval and an unseen enemy, he'll risk all to make this match a real union of body and soul.

This was a pretty good historical western romance, mostly closed door love scenes. I liked it even if I found it pretty predictable and cheesy at times.

Jenkins is so good at telling a sexy story through a pivotal and historical moment. Their first meeting was awesome.

4/5

This is my favorite of the Beverly Jenkins books I've read so far. I loved Reagan and the way her relationship developed with both Colt and Anna. I loved learning about the town in Wyoming and her interactions with all the people there. It's a great book and in love listening to it.

1. Tempest by Beverly Jenkins and A Rogue of One's Own by Evie Dunmore

2. I've got 4 digital ones right now, my two current reads plus Holidaze by Christina Lauren and Crazy Stupid Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams

3. Always. I'm getting a few Star Wars books for my dad, plus some Sarah M. Eden for another family member. (Kinda feel like @rachelsbrittain might be trying to figure out if/what books I'm getting her this year)

1. I was a Cheerleader in high school. I watch basketball, football and boxing.
2. I‘m grateful for my health.
#ThankfulThursday @Cosmos_Moon I forgot that the character I chose was Regan in Tempest. She was bold and straightforward.

Cosmos_Moon Good character traits 🥰 who‘s your favorite boxer? I was never really into boxing but started watching it when I got together with my husband. Now I kind of enjoy it. An amazing friend of mine became a semi pro boxer for a while, and she‘s an epidemiologist at CDC... she‘s amazing! 3y
S3V3N @Cosmos_Moon Errol Spence Jr. is my favorite right now. There hasn‘t been a good boxing match since Mike Tyson. He is my favorite. I also love watching old Muhammad Ali bouts. 3y
Cosmos_Moon Isn‘t Tyson coming out of retirement for a fight? I thought my husband was saying something about that? 3y
S3V3N @Cosmos_Moon Yes, for an exhibition fight with Roy Jones jr. in 11/28/20. I can‘t wait.😂😂 3y
Cosmos_Moon I thought so! Should be interesting 🥊 3y

I wasn‘t sure about the mail order bride story line but ended up absolutely loving everything about Regan and Colts story. I love the history assignment Ms.Bev gives at the end of the book. I always learn something new about American history when I read these books.

Enjoying this one. On the look out for more romance (I‘m not opposed to steamy, but I‘m not into “erotica” 50 Shades types) and fun fantasy by non-white authors with non-white MCs. If you have any great recommendations, let me know.

Tera0707 I‘m reading Queen Move by Kennedy Ryan. I‘m not too far in, but so far I‘m enjoying it ☺️ I also really like Alyssa Cole and her Reluctant Royals series 4y
Mrs_B I‘m reading this one at the minute - it‘s a cute romance so far! @Tera0707 4y
marie3blue Thanks for the recommendations 😊 I‘ve seen a lot of mentions of “Queen Move”. Think I‘ll add that one to my list of books to pick up next time I visit the bookstore. 4y

I finished TEMPEST on a sunset #audiowalk with Casey. I enjoyed it, but definitely got more out of the historical details, the town‘s politics, and Regan‘s relationship with her new daughter than the romance. Her connection to Colt wasn‘t BAD, by any means, but his hot & cold thing during the early stages made the relationship‘s progression feel inconsistent.

I‘ve entered #audiopainting: Phase Two, which involved stripping my bedroom gallery wall. Phase Three will be scrubbing the wall to get rid of all the glue the washi tape frames and blue tac mountings left behind, but the actual painting shouldn‘t be TOO complicated. The new colour is close enough to this one that I won‘t need tons of touch-ups like in my formerly white-walled closet.

Geeklet Thank goodness I didn‘t have to do all of those steps to paint my hall this weekend, lol. Good luck on the painting! 5y
xicanti @Geeklet thanks! Washi tape frames were so convenient to put up, and so time-consuming to take down. 5y

There were no seats in the McDonald‘s by the Greenway, so I took my iced coffee for an #audiowalk.

I have complicated feelings about this book. I love Regan and all the detail about life in 19th century Wyoming, and I‘m SO HERE for Regan‘s relationship with her new stepdaughter—but I‘m not especially invested in the romance. “Traditional dude unwinds enough to love a nontraditional woman” is always a hard sell for me. Sadness.

Well, my #audiorun was a disaster. Both my ankles cramped up so badly that I had to do two 3-minute running intervals instead of a 3- and a 5-, and I had to quit halfway through.

So now I‘m depressed. I hate it when my body won‘t do what I want it to. I really, really want to move along to Week Five of C25k, too, but I‘ve got no choice but to repeat Week Four.

The ankle cramp thing is a persistent problem, running OR walking fast. Tips?

Laughterhp I wear copper compression gear ankle thingies. I bought them on amazon and they work great! I twisted both my ankles and didn‘t get them properly fixed. I can‘t run without wearing them! 5y
CareBear Enjoy the journey! You will get there! 5y
xicanti @Laughterhp I‘ll look for those! I twisted my left ankle really badly a couple years back and I think that might be part of the problem with that one. My right ankle‘s rarely done this before, so I‘m hoping it was just tired after Saturday‘s massive walk. 5y
xicanti @CareBear thanks! 5y

I planned to sit and read with my eyes during my stopover at the BDI, but the Biggie Smalls cone I ordered sight unseen required serious attention. It was a tiny ice cream cone jammed into a larger ice cream cone, then rolled in splodgy brownie chunks.

So I started reading TEMPEST with my ears, and I was SUPER careful, and I still ended up getting brownie smushed into my jeans. The stain is the exact colour of poop. 🤭

TobeyTheScavengerMonk So beautiful. They should‘ve sent a poet. 5y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Over Memorial Day weekend I had a Rice Krispie Treat that had been dipped in caramel and rolled in pecans and that was pretty spectacular. 5y
bewareofwords Oh my gosh, that looks AMAZING. 😍 5y
xicanti @TobeyTheScavengerMonk the cooks of the world invent so much delicious, trashy food and I want to eat it ALL. 5y
xicanti @bewareofwords the ice cream was underflavoured, to be honest, but the brownie was GREAT and I‘m still riding high on the novelty of the presentation. 5y

Regan Carmichael is a mail-order bride who mistakenly shoots her intended, Dr. Colt Lee, when she arrives in Paradise, Wyoming in 1885. Even though it's not a love match, will Regan and Colt be able to get past this in order to get married, as previously agreed upon, in order for Colt's daughter Anna to have a mom? This isn't my usual genre, but I read this for the #BookRiotReadHarderChallenge: historical romance by an AOC.

I'm sooo in love with this book. I have the audiobook and would stop occasionally. I couldn't stop thinking about the characters when I would take a break. Needless to say, I finished it in one sitting.

Cover love! And an okay read, I loved the historical tidbits and social commentary, but the love story bit was just a little sugary sweet for my tastes (and considering the book literally starts with her shooting him, I expected something different I guess.)

My #monthlyTBR stack for January. Reading Tempest first, which starts with a woman accidentally shooting her intended the first time they meet. Whoops! 😮

Tilney is keeping me company today while I catch up on some much needed Litsy and reading time. 😻

This is a book club pick and I‘m liking it so far, despite the super cheesy (imho) cover. 😂

A great author can make you care about a story line you didn't have much interest in. A mail order bride I expect to to have limited options and desperate. But in Tempest, Reagan is not desperate, in fact she's an heiress with money and seeks adventure in the old west. To get there, she answers an ad as a wife. I love the historical details and Beverly's books.

This series is a delight. I love a good cowboy romance set in the Wild West with scary characters and guns blazing but you know the ending will be happy because it‘s a romance. Regan was strong willed, smart, and funny. I loved how she just jumped straight into adventure and the meet cute was perfectly horrid and I loved it so much! Colt was sometimes hard headed but he did the best he could and the family dynamic made the book worth reading.
