review 1: Matt & Laurin's relationship is going from strength to strength and they both have strong feelings for each other but Laurin is holding something back. As much as she has come to care for Matt she is worried about the differences between them and feels a responsibility towards her own people. When an old friend turns up looking for Laurin's help they are both torn. Matt knows as shaman it is his duty to help break the curse placed on Kellan but his jealousy threatens to get in the way. Laurin is attracted to Kallen but feels like she is betraying Matt but how can she leave her friend to his fate? Can they find a way to resolve things that won't put their relationship at risk.Silent Storm is the last story in the Pacific Passion series but probably the hottest one yet.... more I'll admit I've not read a lot of menage stories and I was a bit worried about the effect that it would have on Matt and Laurin's relationship but it managed to show them both how much they really loved each other. I enjoyed the way both characters have different inner struggles going on but are able to work through their issues together and become a stronger couple because of it. Kallen was an interesting addition to the series and I would quite like to read a spin off series telling his story. He came to Laurin and Matt because he knew they were the only ones who could help him but he didn't want to pressure either of them and I respected him for that. I would recommend reading this series in order but erotic paranormal romance fans should definitely give it a try, they are short, very steamy reads that are sure to get your pulse racing! Although the story is rounded off nicely I feel that there is definitely scope for Vivian Arend to re-visit this couple in the future and I'll be first in the queue to buy the next book if she does decide to write one.
review 2: Silent Storm by Vivian Arend* I received this ARC free from the author in exchange for an honest review*Silent Storm is the third installment in the Pacific Passion trilogy. Laurin and Matt are getting closer with each day they spend together but she still feels like something is missing. She is an air shifter but has hidden that side of herself for three years. Before she can commit fully to Matt, she must return to her people to make sure she is not needed there.Matt loves Laurin and knows that she is his other half. He doesn’t want to push her but he isn’t willing to give her up either. He agrees to accompany her to the mountains because he knows that together they can face anything. When Kallen shows up both Laurin and Matt are left conflicted. As a shaman, its Matt’s responsibility to do what he can to heal Kallen but his jealously gets in the way. Laurin can’t understand her attraction to Kallen, it leaves her feeling restless and confused. In the end, lifelong decisions are made that affect both the air and water shifters. This was my favorite book in the Pacific Passion series. Matt has always been a stable character but we really don’t see a lot of emotion from him. In this book he really struggles with jealously, to the point that it starts affecting his shaman abilities. It’s nice to see him come to grips with this issue and their relationship strengthened because of it.Laurin is so conflicted that you feel for her, not! She has the perfect guy that loves her unconditionally and is willing to wait on her. She has a job she loves and now two guys that want her.Throwing Kallen into the mix was a nice addition. It added an extra level of sexual tension that had the pages smoking. The respect that Matt and Kallen had for each other, as well as Laurin, was a must for the whole thing to come together. The three of them are pure magic together and definitely worth the wait.Overall I loved this book and would love to see more books in this series. I give Silent Storm 4½ Flaming Hearts. less
