Summary
Alexis Ravenel: Peasant. Princess. Pawn.
As a peasant, I was forced to work the jewel mines in order to survive. My life was hard, but my worries were few: Affording food to eat, and keeping my pet sloth out of harm’s way. But when a chance encounter with a stranger concludes with me obtaining the power of the gods, suddenly my whole world changes.
When the Storm King finds out - and trust me, he always finds out - he plans to make me a princess by marrying me off to one of his four sons. Which doesn’t really seem like too bad of a thing...at first. After all, the Storm Princes are sexy as sin, rich, confident, and built like the very gods themselves.
But nothing is as simple as it seems, and the luxurious life of the Blackwood royals is nothing but a nightmare I cannot wake up from...and neither can the princes. They grew up knowing and resenting this fact, but I had to find out the hard way....
In the Kingdom of Blackwood, we are all just pawns in the Storm King’s wicked game.
Taken by Storm is the first book in the Storms of Blackwood series, a fast burn, RH, paranormal romance for 18 and up.

RH with a plot
I love RH books but often they do not have a substantial plot. This one does. The author has created an awesome world that this story takes place in. In a land where a king and his sons are the only ones left with magical powers, a woman mistakenly receive powers and the king decides she must marry one of his sons. The princes are all equally lovable of course. The story has some predictable moments but it’s a fun and easy start to the series. Looking forward to future books!

OMG Amazing!!
This amazing book had me transfixed from the very first sentence with the super sassy and intriguing Alexis and her sidekick sloth. This book actually had me laughing out loud several times and the ending is genius, leaving me needing the next book. The brilliant narration really suits this story with great distinction between characters.

Good story
I enjoyed the storyline and the sloth was a funny sidetrack which is needed in most books. I reccomend this for anyone who likes RH.

amazing
I need the next book ASAP. After a very stressful first week of classes, I needed something to read for pleasure, and no better choice I made than reading this book. It was witty, funny and hot. I'm waiting (impatiently) for her next release! ;) Alexis is a commoner, until one day she meets a dying man in the forest and find herself with powers. Of course the king wants her, and he makes her choose one of his four sons to marry. Alexis moves to the castle and she gets to meet Cal, Ben, Dan and Rob. She expected to find four assholes, but little did she know that they much similar to her than she thought. And choosing just one is not an option for her. If you add a loving best friend and a suicidal sloth to the mix, it becomes the perfect combo!

Amazing and addictive - just get the whole series!
I loved this book so much I need to get the whole series, book 1 ends on a cliff hanger - that you won't want to wait to resolve! I was captivated from the first page and didn't move until I finished the book, and was left desperate for more, I'm desperate to find out what happens next.The FMC Alexis is sassy & snarky, and the Storm Princes never knew what hit them, and she may be just what they need to take on their father, the villainous Storm King. I can't recomend this book highly enough, and the narration is excellent.

Strong sassy female lead
I received a free audio copy of this book directly from the author for an honest review.
Fantastic first book with lots of twists, turns and a lovely dose of steaminess! I did guess the end twist but I would of been disappointed if I was wrong! They have a truly horrendous villain, Lexi is such a strong sassy female I adore her and the four brothers each with their own personalities and strengths make this book even better. Obviously mischievous suicidal Speedy the sloth is awesome. This book is one big game of chess and I’m really looking forward to the next one.

Great start to the series
Taken by Storm, the first book in Storms of Blackwood series is a wonderfully written reverse harem fantasy romance. The world-building was fascinating and the storyline, entertaining and well-plotted. It drew me in from the start, keeping my attention through the end. The characters were diverse, vibrant, and delightful, and I enjoyed their dynamics.
Excellent narration by Vanessa Moyen. She emulated the characters very nicely, bringing the story to life. Taken by Storm was an enjoyable listen, and I'm looking forward to finding out what's next for Alexis, our sassy heroine. I recommend this audiobook! I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Obsessed with this series!
This story was even better than I could have hoped for.
Lexi is a strong-willed MC, to the point of stubborn, that you can't help but love. The dynamic between her and the princes was captivating and I cannot wait to find out what happens next.
Vanessa Moyen really brings this book to life. She is by far my favourite narrator.
