Here is what people are saying about the Firestorm
1 Star Rating  "The hero is not likable at all"2009-04-15
- Reviewed By ruth15962
I hate to give one star reviews, but the hero was a total jerk. He feels sorry for himself because he's the son of a whore, but then what does he do? He goes around sleeping with his mistress, and he changes mistresses often. What if one of them had gotten pregnant with his kid? I would have thought that a man who was born out of wedlock would be more likely to not sleep around.

Another thing I couldn't get over was that in chapter two, after he's met the heroine and can't stop thinking about her, he's sleeping with his mistress one night and then he's sleeping with a married woman another night. (And he's thinking of the heroine the entire time.) I'm sorry, but there's nothing romantic about him, and I had to stop before I got to the beach scene where he apparently is rough with the heroine in checking her virginity, but I'm sure that scene would have repulsed me as well. This guy had absolutely no respect for women.

This book is definitely not for me.

4 Star Rating  "Firestorm - 2nd book in the Bragg series"2008-03-30
- Reviewed By User: A18LZG9MSLOK9K
I enjoyed the book. The only flaw that I had with it is that their misunderstanding during the first week of their marriage was a little too lengthy. It seemed they were arguing every single second and I was surprised only a week of their marriage went by when it seemed like an entire month. As for the other disturbing scenes that other reviewers have mentioned like the spanking, the beach examination, and the cousin incest, I took it as part of the story and never felt it was that disturbing. I never had the feeling that the hero was ever going to rape her even though I felt his self-restraint was at a limit at times. I felt he was a very sexy hero and Storm was just gorgeous. This is definitely not a Julie Garwood book, but I find it very comparable with Judith McNaught's plots.
 
2 Star Rating  "Storm in a teacup"2008-02-12
- Reviewed By kentish_bookworm
In this historical romance, set in America in the 18th century, the improbably-named Storm Bragg is sent by her family from their ranch in Texas to San Francisco to become a lady and, hopefully, marry a well-to-do man. Unfortunately Storm's entire upbringing has been in the rough and tumble of the ranch, wrestling and brawling with her brothers, riding horses with tight breeches and generally having a whale of a time far away from afternoon tea and polite evening entertainments. Her introduction to society in San Francisco isn't very successful because of her inappropriate behaviour, especially with eligible bachelor Brett D'Archand. Brett isn't in the market for a wife and he knows that when he is he will find someone elevated in society to attempt to mitigate his status as an illegitimate child of a Mexican landowner. His instant attraction to Storm rather scuppers his plans and when they are forced to wed he finds himself struggling with an unwilling bride and one who doesn't provide the social status that he needs. He and Storm have a very stormy marriage but when the chance comes for him to make some sort of peace with his father Storm comes along for support. Brett's family are almost pantomime villains in their behaviour and Storm and Brett stumble from one misunderstanding to the next. Can they ever really understand each other and admit their true feelings to each other?

The characterisation in this story was rather novel as both hero and heroine weren't at all appealing. The hero seems promising initially but his decision to visit his mistress on his wedding night is hardly heroic. He also threatens violence occasionally, spanks Storm from time to time, gets rather close to raping her and seems bad tempered much of the time. Storm seems to waft along in a world of egocentricity, having no respect for those around her and their wishes, trampling all over her host and hostess's efforts to help her, vacillating as to what she feels for Brett and generally behaving like a spoiled child. Perhaps her relative youth, she's aged just 17, is some mitigation but overall she appeared to have nothing to her credit apart from her looks and skills at horsemanship.

This book was originally published twenty years ago and unfortunately it shows its age in terms of the interactions between hero and heroine. The threats of violence, rakishness and other behaviours that appeared to be acceptable in books published in the 1980s tend to leave a nasty taste in the mouths of modern readers and there wasn't enough plot or other characterisation in this book to overcome this problem. The setting and overall concept were interesting but reading a whole book consisting of arguments and other spats between two selfish and egocentric people became very tiresome.

4 Star Rating  "Sizzling Romance, Hot Chemistry 4.5 STARS"2007-02-07
- Reviewed By shinnic26
I love Brett and Storm. You could cut the sexual tension between those 2 with a knife. It is full of passion throughout the book. What can I say if you want an exciting, passion-lust-love filled romance, this is it!

The only disturbing and annoying thing was the incest between his 2 cousins and the fact that his uncle's wife took his virginity when he was a young teenager. Other than that...everythings fantastic!
 
4 Star Rating  "LOVE this book"2005-07-25
- Reviewed By lovestorm
From the sensuous voice of novelist Brenda Joyce comes Firestorm, the extraordinary first book in the Bragg family saga that has captured the hearts of readers everywhere. Here is the beginning of the Bragg empire-opulent and glamorous-vast, dangerous, and as untamed as the sweeping plains of Texas...

Storm Bragg could outshoot and outride any man, but her family decided it was time she traded in her buckskins for a ballgown and made her debut in San Francisco society. Quickly pursued by every eligible gentleman in town, the young hellcat from Texas had eyes for only one, and he was no gentleman. Brett D'Archand was a self-made success - arrogant, impossibly attractive, blatantly sensual - and looking for a wife who would give him respectability.

Storm was completely bewitched by him, but she made him lose his head as well as his heart. And, threatened by scandal and ruin, they are forced to wed - a tempestuous union of free spirits, shackled only by the irrepressible bonds of love.
