Good reads. The four Storm siblings run an upscale hotel in New Orleans. The family has magic - which the four siblings either embrace or reject in varying degrees. According to their mother they each have a Destiny [with a capital D] to find THE ONE and lived happily ever after.
Summer Heat is Aiden's, [brother #2], book. His powers are summer powers: storms and lightening, sultry heat and warm summer rain. Although he enjoys his powers it's more play for him than anything else. And he figures his mother is wrong about the Destiny thing... Until in walks Destiny in high heels and wearing a business suit. Her name is Melissa Cross, the liaison person from the casino the hotel is planning to partner with. She is cool and crisp and full of Boston reserve. If Aiden was smart he'd keep their relationship equally cool and business-like. But of course he can't resist Ms. Right, although he tries to treat her like Ms. Right Now...
Melissa is more than a little taken with Aiden and his warm but odd family. And strange things keep happening - like Aiden answering comments she only thought and storms appearing out of blue skies and warm rain falling in her bedroom... Can it really be magic?
I liked the characters and the concept very much. The plot is basically relationship driven. As far as order goes, I've read Summer Heat and Ice and Rain. The only obvious problem of reading the books out of order is there appears to be a large secret in Fall Fury which is common knowledge in the last book. Also each of the siblings is getting matched up in chronological order [Ice includes Aiden and Melissa's wedding.] So there are some spoilers for readers if they read out of order.
