Into the Storm tells us the story of Showdown and Shannon. We have traveled through hell with Show through Move the Sun and Behold the Stars, this book begins about 10 months after his world exploded with the loss of his daughter. We meet Shannon briefly in Behold the Stars and get the first glimpse of what will be their relationship when they meet the first time.The pros: First, I was so excited that we got a HEA for Show, who has truly been through hell. We also get to spend some time with Lilli and Issac, including interaction with their little girl, Gia. The heroine, Shannon, is a true woman, not a super-young, naive girl. She's a tall bombshell, curvy, and independent. (I'm not a bombshell, but I am tall, with curly hair, curvy, independent, and named Shannon so I may be somewhat biased about the heroine - I thought she was awesome!) Finally, this book was nowhere near as violent as the last two books. It focused more on the relationship of Show and Shannon and the rebuilding of the town. Finally, wonderful writing, I only caught a couple of editing glitches and nothing that distracted me from the story.The cons: Not many cons, in my opinion. Only two that I can think of. First, I thought that Shannon's reaction to her secret being revealed was a little over-the-top, and resolved very quickly once she did, finally, tell Show. The second one bugged me almost the whole book: Show kept talking about when he and Holly had Daisy and insinuated that they were young, even though it never says exactly how old they were. He kept saying it as if they were really young and it was hard, but they made the right decision to marry and have a family. Here's where my problem lies. The book never says exactly how old Show is, just that he's nearing fifty. Daisy would be 17 at the end of this book, that means he was around 33 when she was born. That's not exactly a teenage father or anything, so it didn't make much sense. It didn't ruin the story or anything, it just bugged me when I did the math.I have really enjoyed the first three books in this series, and will be reading the fourth book soon. I highly recommend this series.
