Storm

"While I'm still busy reading(kinda slow on that xD), this is one I'm going to genuinely recommend to everyone who's a fan of both action and greatly paced romance. The MCs are very likeable and barely a few chaps in you can't help but root for them, while the style of the author makes them feel very human. There's both place for humor and nail-biting action, which I honestly appreciate. Overall, great job and I'm going to enjoy further following Liam's and Taito's adventures! Thank you for writing and sharing!"

Amazing Story!

"The story starts with so much action that it's so easy to continue reading the book is a real page-turner and only continues to get more tense as it goes on. By chapter 3 I was already invested in Liam and felt i understood him making him easy to sympathise with. The Descriptions are immersive and the dialogue is strong, advancing the plot well and adding more to the characters. Sometimes despite the good descriptions it can be a little bulky and slow the pacing down. Occasionally some telling over showing but after 8 chapters read this is still rare and never causes much damage to the story, both are minor gripes. Really recommend and a really impressive book. Well done!! : )"

Subtle. Heartfelt. Tender.

"I am not a fan of romance, simply because I find them predictable and mushy, often OTT and with lots of talking... As a reader, I usually give them a few chapters before I check out. Yet sometimes I come across stories where the characters shine, their emotions draw me into their world, and I root for a happy ending. Amidst the Storm is one of those stories. Hats off to Rai for writing characters who are so realistic I could imagine the scenes and balancing action with emotion. That is a winning combo. Liam and Taito are adorable, and the development of their relationship from friends to lovers is sublime. Scenes such as the Christmas gift exchange melted my heart. Yet there is not a boring moment. Amidst the storm of bullets flying, dangerous missions, life and death situations, love blooms. Thank you Ria for writing such a beautiful yet exciting story. "

Great story!

"I loved this story. The writing style is great, it is a wonderful mix of powerful war- and action-scenes and heartwarming romance with a wonderful chemistry between the MC and his love-interest. I am very tempted to dive right into the second book :) "

Wonderful! ★★★★★

"STARS ★★★★★ This book was impossible to put down once I got into the story. There's so much happening all the time, and at the same time, we witness a wonderful romance developing between two characters. I felt like I got to know the characters very well. As I sit here reading, I find myself smiling, laughing, or getting tears in my eyes. That's a good sign! I hope you never stop writing books. I will be the first to dive into them if you keep going. You can be proud of this work, and I'm glad to be able to follow you here on this site. From the crazy Norwegian lady HITSY! ♡"

Great read

"What a wonderful novel so far! I figured I’d offer an early review after just under half the book read since you shouldn’t miss out on reading this novel. You can see a romance budding in early stages and it’s slight and not too overdone, realistic if even and I appreciate the realism of it. Beyond that, the MC are wonderfully crafted and real as well. I like military movies naturally and this made me feel as if I was watching / and in one. The action is specific and accurate. Thanks for writing a nice tale."

SO Great!

"This is the type of book you start and then lose your entire day to because it's so good you can't put it down! The action is super well-written and keeps you on the edge of your seat. However, what really pulls you in is the love story. I don't expect to be sitting smiling the majority of the time I read an action story but this book had me smiling as I read it. The romance story line is written so well and the author does an amazing job at slowly developing the relationship. Highly recommend!"

Tom Clancy With Heart

"This is just a very good soulful read. It is a Tom Clancy novel meets Brad Thor suspense, all set against the backdrop of European international intrigue. The romance is slow, meandering, and refreshingly organic; you can see the slow reveal between the characters as they begin to recognize there is something there: like grabbing a dim object in the room - at the same time. The author is very good at putting the reader in the action, and this versatility extends into being able to craft good scenes, good narrative, and good emotions. They are very skilled at creating small behavioral micro expressions between characters in a way that ALSO puts the reader in the action: this time, of the heart. Very soulful with enough mystique (thanks to the Romanian environs) to give it some zing!"

From Doubt to Delight

"You know, "Amidst The Storm" wasn't exactly on my radar when it comes to picking up a book. But let me tell you, friend, it surprised me in the best possible way. After just diving into the first 10 chapters, I was absolutely captivated. There's this magnetic pull to it that just draws you right in and refuses to let go. And the action? It's like being on a rollercoaster ride that you never want to end. Every page brings pulse-pounding excitement that'll have you on the edge of your seat, eagerly anticipating what comes next. Sure, I was a bit skeptical at first, unsure if it'd be my cup of tea, but boy, was I wrong. Saffhira's way with words is truly something special. The scenes are painted so vividly, it's like you're right there in the thick of it all, experiencing every moment alongside the characters. Even if it's not your usual genre, trust me when I say, it's worth taking a chance on. So, if you're like me and tend to stick to what's comfortable, I urge you to step out of your reading comfort zone and give "Amidst The Storm" a shot. Believe me, it's a journey you won't regret embarking on. Full of twists, turns, and moments that'll stay with you long after you've turned the final page."
