Sydney Croft
ACRO Series
Books 1-6
Series Complete
Book 1: Riding the Storm (5 ★)
I really enjoyed this book. It was along the lines of a rated R X- Men, lol. I loved the sex scenes more in this book then in most of the others I have read this year because it felt more like reality and not so fluffed up. Even the dialog seemed more realistic in this book. I loved it!!!!
Book 2: Unleashing the Storm (5 ★)
Croft once again kept me locked in with great sex scenes and flowing storyline. I loved visiting Annika and Creeds story again, as well as Dev and Oz's story. This books main focus was Kira and Ender (Tom). The base is Kira goes into heat and requires a males "touch" every 4 hours or she will die and Ender is put in place as her "stud" which eventually turns into more than just sexual feelings and then they mate. It reminded me a lot of Lora Leigh's Breeds Series. I really enjoyed this book but I didn't connect with it as I did book 1 Riding the Storm. It still amazes me that this series is written by two people because it is seamless and flows so well. I am impressed, lol
Book 3: Seduced by the Storm (5 ★)
I really enjoyed this book but I must say my favorite part was Annika and Creed's storyline. I have loved it from the beginning and it is so great to finally have some closure with them. I think they came a long way and it was a little predictable but still enticing. Dev and Oz also had their share in this book as well. Without giving away anything I will just admit I was SHOCKED! I found their m/m relationship so interesting. It has been written so tastefully IMHO that I easily fell in love with them. Now back to the main H/h Wyatt was dreamy as usual for the hero and Faith was interesting especially her "gift" but their story wasn't the page gripper I would have liked. I'm not disappointed I just not blown away either. The reason I gave it a 5 STAR review is defiantly because of the side stories of Annika/Creed and Dev/Oz.
Book 4: Taming the Fire (5 ★)
Of course I loved this one as I did all the others. Trance and Rik's story had a BDSM tie that makes for some sexy scenes.
I love the side story romances that Croft puts in the book as well. This on includes Dev's ongoing story and picks up with Oz's promise to send someone to him. Ryan the missing ACRO agent finds his HEA in this installment as well.
Book 5: Tempting the Fire (5 ★)
Well I have been extremely busy so it has taken an act of congress to get this damn book finished but none the less IT WAS GREAT! I love all the books in this series and find them highly addictive with its sexy X-Men feel. I love the twist and turns and find the Ani and Creed sub-story that flows through the series to be the greatest highlight of them all. A major event happens for them in this book and I was pleasantly surprised. As for one of the main heroes of this installment, Logan, I found very intriguing. He had the terminator vibe going and for some reason that made my engines roar to life as well. Over all I adore this series and may have a bias opinion of the books but oh well i can't help it! :)
Book 6: Taken by Fire (5 ★)
** spoiler alert ** I would give more than 5 stars if I could for this series!!
OMG. I remembered now why I love the ACRO series so freaking much! There is a scene involving a ice dildo, a woman who controls cold, a man who controls earthquakes and me a woman who controls a vibrator! LOL It is amazing! I love Sydney Croft is Stephanie Tyler and Larissa Ione. So if you loved Daemonica series or Lords of Deliverance series you will like this one. I prefer this one because it is not just PNR it is PNRe and it is more explicit and lots more involved. I always tell ppl its like XMEN erotic romance lol. LOVE IT! I am at about 70% so more later!
Oh this is a good one! I just cried during a m/m/m scene. It was the only one of the series and the storyline built through all the books. It was so sad/happy. I am at 84% and this book is now one of my top favorites ever! You must read this series!!!!
So good so very good. I finished it and let me tell you. I cried the whole last quarter of the book. This book wraps up the ongoing storyline and it is a tear jerker! It all ends well but it doesn't go smoothly thats an understatement. I absolutely LOVED this book! Tears and all.
I am sad this is the final book of this series. *tear*
