I read this book after reading "Surviving Raine" which is the first book in this series.  I decided to read the series after seeing that it was rated #3 on Maryse's blog of 'Best Reads of 2013'.  I was not disappointed.Bastian's Storm is the second book in the Surviving Raine series.  The story starts right where Surviving Raine ends...with Bastian and Raine's new life after they are rescued from their island paradise.  The story is told from Bastian's POV, and let me tell you, any woman would want to know that she affected her man the way Raine affects Bastian.  Throughout the story, we see Bastian's inner conflict between being the kind of man he is versus the kind of man he thinks Raine deserves.  In the end, Bastian literally fights to the death for his family.I loved this series.  In the first book, we saw Bastian have incredible survival skills.  In this book, we get to understand how he developed such skills.  We also get a peak at another Shay Savage hero, Evan Arden.  Without saying too much, if you haven't read the Evan Arden series prior to reading Surviving Raine, you will definitely go back and read that series as well.
