Review: Stormbound with a Tycoon by Shawna Delacorte

I was looking for a quick read and hence my decision to read
this title..  This title is different
from what I have come to expect from the harlequin desire line.  If you like your romance stories hot and
steamy then this book is not for you. If on the other hand, you like sweet
romance stories with light, love scenes where you have to use your imagination
then you will love this book.

This story was told from the POV of the main
characters.  Some readers may find the
switching between the two POVs distracting. I don’t mind it as it provided me
with insight into their thoughts and emotions.

Stormbound with a Tycoon tells the story of Jessica McGuire
and Dylan Russell.  Jessica had a crush
on Dylan since she was fifteen years old; however, to Dylan she was his best
friend’s sister and nothing else.  Fast
forward sixteen years later, these two had moved on with their lives, but it did
not turn out as was expected. Jessica is a divorcee, who is determined to get
her life back on track and prove that she does not need a man to define
her.  Dylan is an ace at making lucrative
business deals; however, after a deal gone bad he began to question his
judgement as a result he decided to re-evaluate his life. To do so he asked his
best friend for the use of his cabin. 
Jessica, unaware of this arrangement decided to stay at the cabin to get
some much needed rest. The two became stranded as a result of a storm and was
forced to endure each other company throughout the duration of the storm.

There were a lot of internal battles of emotions in this
title.  Both characters had their inner
demons to deal with and found it difficult to express their feelings.  I thought Jessica was a bit judgemental when
it came to Dylan. She is willing to think the worst of him. In spite of this
she had difficulty fighting her attraction to him.

Dylan was not looking for a committed relationship based on events of his past as such he was clueless as to how to deal with his feelings for Jessica.

This is a story of love, self-discovery and acceptance. It depicts that love will find you when you least expect it and with the most unlikely person.

Overall, I found this to be an ok read.
