Payton and Andy had married young, but they were very much in love. So much in love, Andy had known within the first week they'd spent getting to know each other she was the woman for him. It had been hard working two jobs, finishing college and raising a baby yet they wouldn't have changed a thing. Even several years and two additional kids later, it was still evident they were very much in love, just suffering from not enough time together.

Tired of Payton pretending to enjoy sex and faking her orgasms every Saturday night, Andy decided to book a weekend at spa/retreat specifically geared for couples. Maybe, just maybe, this weekend would help them reconnect, be the highly sexual couple they once were. Since he intended the weekend to be a surprise, he hoped she would trust him and come without asking any questions.

Payton knew things had to change. She was tired of sex being a chore, of having to pleasure herself after Andy had fallen asleep. She'd made up her mind to have a kid-free conversation with Andy. Maybe together they could find a way to get back together. But when she comes home to an empty house and Andy tells her to pack her bags and trust him, will she give him, and herself, the chance to reconnect?

Wow! Payton's Passion is in a word, stunning. Ms. Storm has written a highly sensual novel, balanced with intense emotion and eroticism. Every aspect is vivid and intense; the reader is drawn into Payton and Andy's lives. We experience everything they do.

As a working mother of three young children myself, I found myself instantly connecting and completely understanding the problems, both sexually and emotionally, Payton and Andy experienced. What completely blew me away was they both realized they had a problem, wanted to fix their relationship, and when the time came trusted the other. This story was made all the more beautiful and emotional because of the way it mirrored life. Ms. Storm is gifted beyond belief and has gained a devoted reader in this reviewer. Payton's Passion is headed straight for my keeper shelf after another reread. Don't miss!

Lucy O'Malley worked as a waitress in a small town cafe. One hot day while taking a break she was fantasizing about a handsome, sexy man coming to take her away from her small town life. A tall dark, handsome man who would give her toe-curling sex, have bedroom eyes, and be willing to take care of her for the rest of her life. Sighing, Lucy didn't have any high hopes of that dream coming true any day soon. Until...

Matt Diamond came back to the small town where he grew up to work on a job his company was doing at the local school. He also came back hoping to escape his insane ex-girl friend. After his disastrous four year relationship came to a heartbreaking end, Matt decided to give up girls for awhile. That was until he walked into the local cafe for lunch one afternoon and literally had a beautiful, if a bit clumsy, woman fall at his feet. Matt was captivated.

Lucy and Matt were heating up the sheets when one day Matt's identical twin brother, Jake, brought Matt's worse nightmare to him, his ex-girlfriend Steph. Steph threatened big trouble for Matt and his new girl if he didn't drive her back home. What could Matt do but take this insane woman far away from Lucy? The only problem was he had promised Lucy that he would take her to her high school class reunion to help her get back at some of the uppity bitties that made life hell for her. What else could Matt do but ask his brother to switch identities with him a night and take Lucy to the reunion. What will Matt and Jake do if the woman they both hold dear learns out the truth? Will Lucy forgive them or decide never have anything to do with one or the other?

Lucy's Double Diamonds by author, Ruby Storm, is a very heartfelt story of love, deceit and overwhelming forgiveness. Lucy is a heroine we all could admire for her strength, kindness and caring. With the help of the hero, Lucy was able to come out of her shell where she hidden because of past hurts and blossom into the lovely, sexy woman that she was meant to be. The hero Matt and his brother Jake are both guys every woman wishes to have. The deep, sincere sibling closeness, love and honesty they have is remarkable, as well as the love they aren't afraid to show to the woman that caught their hearts. Lucy's Double Diamonds is a very remarkable story and one that should not be missed. Ellora's Cave has a reputation for publishing great stories written by amazing authors; they should be very proud to add Ruby Storm to that amazing list of authors.
