Joley Drake is one of seven magical sisters. Her gift is the
ability to manipulate sound. A year has passed since Ilya
cast a spell, marked her palm, and wormed his way into her
life by telepathically communicating with her. She canʼt
sleep, canʼt eat, and if he cared for her at all, heʼd step
away, giving her freedom and independence.
Not Ilya Prakenskii. The mark proves their destinies are
joined if he can just make Joley realize it and keep her
alive. Luckily for Joley protection is in his job
description. His other qualifications are anybodyʼs darkest
guess. Meeting her, he campaigns to win her heart and soul
on his terms and in the bargain save himself because it was
Joleyʼs music, her voice pulled him back from the brink of
unthinkable darkness.
Bringing Logan Voight, a band member, the message that his
ex-girlfriend from hell, Lucy Brady, was about to deliver
his child seemed like a good excuse to crash Sergei
Nikitinʼs party. A party that normally she would not have
attended, except Ilya Prakenskii is there. The man whose
gifts and talents have imprisoned her thoughts and body.
Joley witnesses a thirteen-year-old girl at a party. Drugs,
alcohol, and groupies are part of the music background. It
doesnʼt mean that she condones the lifestyle, but the
exploitation of teenagers is where she draws the line.
Before she can give chase, the Reverend RJ accosts her;
nearly pushing her into his limousine. Ilya stops him, but
is he saving her or is he more dangerous than the degenerate
RJ, more dangerous than the rumored Russian mobster Nikitin?
Because of her hectic road life (and Ilyaʼs mind games), she
is surprised and angered when a mother approaches her after
a concert. Her daughter, the thirteen-year-old at the party,
never came home. Brian Rigger, her best friend and lead
guitarist, and Jerry St. Ives, her manager, confront Dean, a
road crew member and a man who had been familiar with the
teenagers. Afterwards Dean is found brutally beaten. The
sheer force of his murder is a message, but what?
Brian admits to Joley that he is gay and has been in a
relationship with Nikitin. Sergei hasnʼt been honest about
his on-going ties to the Russian mob, and Brian, like a
member of her family, is over his head. She warns him of
Nikitinʼs true personality, and he agrees to break it off.
Will Nikitin accept it without retaliation?
Their lives are tabloid fodder. The severity of accidents to
Joley increase. Previous psycho-stalker behavior explains
Lucy Brady attacking Logan and Joley, but is she guilty of
detonating a bomb on Joleyʼs bus?
TURBULENT SEA by Christine Feehan is a character driven
novel, keeping the readerʼs emotions on a tight wire. Ms.
Feehan writes the sensual scenes, making them as magical as
her characters. Many secondary story lines are interwoven,
and I was caught by their subplots, also. Itʼs a testament
to the depth her research. The dynamics and depth of Brian
and Nikitinʼs relationship and storyline left me haunted. If
you like a lot of scenes with emotionally draining thoughts
or acts of sex, find yourself a sex partner because this
book is hot! Iʼm more of an action fan, and thank you Ms.
Feehan for providing me that in the chilling action scenes
with Ilya. Finally we learn who and what Ilya is.
Bewitching rock superstar Joley Drake can have any lover
she wants. But when her life is threatened, her
dangerously sexy bodyguard is the only man she needs.
There’s just one problem: his shadowy reputation as a
secret Russian hit man may put Joley in even greater
peril…
