Book Review: "Storm Surge" by J.D. Rhoades


STORM SURGE is the first e-published novel by the Shamus-Award nominated author of the Kindle bestseller BREAKING COVER and the critically acclaimed Jack Keller series. 

For beautiful waitress Sharon Brennan, the luxurious Pass Island resort is a place to make a living for herself and her daughter Glory. For amiable handyman Max Chase, it's a place far away from his past.

But there's a lot more to Max than meets the eye. And as a Category Five hurricane bears down on Pass Island, some very bad people arrive with a plan to use the cover of the storm to steal a mysterious object, an object that powerful people want desperately enough to kill for. 

When things go wrong and Sharon and Glory are trapped on the island with Max and a team of cold-blooded mercenaries, they begin to realize that maybe Max isn't the good guy they thought he was...but he may be just the bad guy they need. - from Amazon.com

This was a quick read for me. Story about a hitman that changes his name, and gets caught up in the affairs of others by accident. This time it happens on an island, just as a tropical storm (read basically hurricane) is hitting it dead-on. Most of it was pretty easy to figure out what was going to happen, but still kept my interest. Rhoades has a series I saw of two books that I may be checking out.
