Title: Adrian & Lockie (Storming Love: Flood #1)
Author Name: N. J. Neilsen
Publication Date & Length: April 5, 2015, 97 pages
Adrian Clarke knows his life is a hot mess. This is only one of the reasons he boards a plane and flies halfway around the world-so he can escape everything that’s determined to see him break. Lockie Rivers has worked his whole life on Tenderfoot Downs. After his boss died, Lockie remained as caretaker for the new owner-a man who’d never even set foot on the place. When circumstances bring them face to face, a flash flood comes along to threaten their very existence. Can virtual strangers work together to save their home, their hearts, and find their own slice of heaven?
The Storming Love: Flood stories are part of the second Storming Love anthology. Compared to the Blizzard stories, these are much more cohesive. They all focus on the same flood, in the same small Texas town. Where there were some weaker stories in the Blizzard anthology, the writing of the Flood stories is consistently excellent. Each writer has chosen different men to write about, but the stories interlink and build on each other beautifully. This is a great collection.
Adrian and Lockie’s story is the most self-contained in the collection. Isolated on their 8,000 acre spread outside of town, the foreman and the new owner must rely on each other to ensure their ranch survives the flood. Neilson’s characters are brilliant. I loved the romance and enjoyed the action.

NJ needs to write like she needs to breathe. It’s an addiction that she never intends to find a cure for. When you don’t find NJ arguing with Vlad, her muse or writing about the wonderful men in her stories, you’ll find her reading work by other authors she greatly admires. NJ lives in the SE of Qld, Australia with her family who all encourage her writing career even if she does occasionally call them by her character’s names. NJ thinks that anyone taking the time to read her stuff is totally awesome.
