Summary: Lonely young witch, Veronica Hardwicke, has struggled to get on with her life after the death of the elderly husband who’d left her a fortune and a sprawling estate in mystical Sleepy Hollow. When frightening things go bump in the night on a stormy Fourth of July, who better to call than the sexy developer and contractor, Sean Jones, who's been renovating her mansion for months?
Sean may grace the tabloid pages with a different supermodel on his arm every night, but it's Veronica who drives him nuts. Ignoring his instinct to stay away, he answers her summons.
Will the thundering passion of their 1Night Stand tear down the barriers between them?
Short Review:
I liked how Thunder kind of carried on from where Lightning ended, but with Sean and Veronica's story. We even get to see how things are between Camp and Lily from the first book. Where Lightning was more serious, Thunder has some humor and is a little more lighthearted. Of course, there are supernatural elements. You can't place a story in the town of Sleepy Hollow and not have something mystical. Veronica is a witch, maybe not a very good one, but she can do simple things. I liked how easily Sean accepted that she's a witch. Although having a brother who has superhuman abilities and is dating a succubus has an impact. I absolutely love the Sleepy Hollow series (which is a part of the 1Night Stand series) and I can't wait to read the next book, Frost!
Excerpt:
Veronica paced back and forth in
the grand entry foyer of the Belmont
mansion, the kitten heels of her Prada mules clacking on the marble floors.
The rest of the place might not
be finished, but she’d insisted on having a few rooms completed, so at least
she felt like she was living in a home, rather than a massive, never-ending
construction project. Well, her contractor had insisted, even
though working around the main entrance and central hallway created more work
for him and his crew. But she was forced to admit he was right.
Her cell phone chimed on top of
the antique credenza shoved flush against one wall. She leaped for it. Probably
Geneviève, to regale her with all the fun she was having inParis. Or Sean, to
advise her he couldn’t make it after all. She sighed and read the text message
on the small screen.
Congratulations, Veronica. 1Night
Stand has found your date. Have a good time.
With both anxiety and mounting
excitement, she stared at the screen and waited. No other info. Outside in the
night, thunder boomed. She jumped then laughed at herself.
Ghosts are one thing, but
freaking out at the weather now? Cripes, you really do need this date!
She let her imagination run wild,
then texted back for more details:
When? Where? Who?
An insistent pounding at the
front door jarred her out of her fantasy. She swung the door open on another
explosive crack of thunder.
Sean stood on her doorstep, his
soaked T-shirt molding sculpted pecs and abs, his drenched hair flattened over
his brow. Rain poured down as he fiddled with his iPhone, a bemused expression
on his face. Behind him, jagged arrows of lightning tore the dark sky. He
glared at the screen, glanced at her in confusion, then back at the screen.
Veronica’s own phone pinged
again. Thunder roared. She read the message in disbelief.
