Night Storm

by Catherine Coulter

Book Overview

Dear Reader,

You met Alec Carrick in Night Fire. He returns full force-and believe me, this man's got force--in Night Storm, the third novel of the Night Trilogy which I wrote in the Fall of 1988.

The Paxtons are shipbuilders in Baltimore. Alec Carrick is an English nobleman who wants to buy them out. Genny Paxton isn't at all what she seems. She dresses like "Eugene" and wants to build her own sailing ships without male interference...

Customer Reviews

I liked it...don't know what these other nit-wits are crying about

Yeah, yeah..so the hero is your typical alpha-male, so what? He had plenty of redeeming qualities. Coulter did a fine job pacing this story. I have read so many over-worded books lately, this was refreshing. The ending did drag a little but I can forgive her that. Overall, I would probably rate this a 4 STAR, but I think some of the other reviewers were much to harsh with their one and two star designations.

Best in the Night series!!

A long time ago I read this book - while I liked it - it did not leave the impression that the second reading did having just finished Night Fire & Shadow. Alec certainly did not stand out in the other books - and you really were not totally sure how much he was in love with his first wife Nesta. You certainly did realize that his grief and guilt when she died giving birth to their daughter Hallie - and he was committed to never marrying again. Of course don't these rakes all say that - until they meet THE one woman that upsets their well ordered life. And this is exactly what happens when he meets Genny. Their initial meeting is totally unique - her disguised (not very well in his opinion) as a young man Eugene. She/he is attempting to run her father's shipping yard and Alec arrives from London to buy from her family. There is one catch though her father will only sell if Alec agrees to marry her as well. So many many twists and turns to this relationship. They are a firey couple as Genny is so different than any woman Alec has ever met. She is so stubborn about not being dominated by a man - has no desire to wed - but oh did I say desire --well she has plenty of that and when she and Alec finally errupt in bed well that pretty much settles at least that aspect of their relationship. However there are so many other things to settle - and for awhile when Alec has amnesia Genny is not sure which Alec is real and which is not. Several reviewers did mention Alec as a jerk - I just did not see this. Yes, he wanted to dominate as most men back then did and yes it took him a long while to realize the intensity of his feelings for Genny but he did - and I never saw any example of total cruelty toward her - he was always faithful and no matter how much they faught they always seemed to kiss and make up - so to speak!! This was a wild ride of a book - could not put it down! Really a great Coulter read!

First Book

this is the first book that i have read by Catherine Coulter. i could not put it down. i am know an instant fan of Catherine Coulter. if you can get your hands on this books i hope you do.

Worth the trip....

Any time I read a book and it can bring forth an emotion, it's got to be well written. Catherine Coulter's book always have that effect on me. And this one is no exception. I hate books that are predictable. Yes they all have happy endings, but it's the journey that makes it worth the time to read. And a trip with Ms. Coulter is always interesting. Hearts and flowers are great once in a while. But a steady diet is very boring. Give me a struggle, a knock down drag out fight, a handsome rogue with a heart, and a heroine who doesn't always look like Cindy Crawford and I'm in heaven. If you want everything sugar coated try Mary Poppins. But if you want to laugh, cry or just get ticked off... Give Ms. Coulter a try.

Loved the book

I enjoyed this book very much. In fact I have read all the books in the "Night series" Night Shadow, Night Storm and Night Fire and enjoyed each one.
