When the Storm Comes

M.A. Innes’s “When the Storm Comes” offers a humorous perspective on an approaching calamity. The protagonist of the tale is Donovan, who must flee a hurricane and tsunami that are affecting the East Coast. When he meets Trey, his day takes a turn for the worst, proving the adage “bad things come in threes.”

As Donovan saves them, Trey, who is stuck at home with his infant sister among the mayhem, finds that his day is becoming better. The most potent of all is the storm that is developing between Trey, a flirt who enjoys making his new friend blush, and Donovan, an uptight cutie. With a lot of teasing and a hint of BDSM, the book is a slow burn.
