Odd Einar never mentioned Soren in any of the letters, it was as if he knew her heartache without ever mentioning a word about it. Einar Brandrson might be only one she could trust and answer her questions. When Ran goes visits Einar she finds Soren instead not being aware of Soren's Grandfather's passing, things really start to unravel though she still feels his betrayal deeply.
Plus as things start to get out out of control Ran discovers her father and his men are being held as prisoners by the evil Hugh de Gifford and his men, so the only person she can ask for help and trust is Soren Thorson. Who to trust as the battle of good vs evil continues for Brisbin fans who read Rising Fire as Hugh de Gifford is again a major player in this novel to reprising his role as the minion of the evil goddess Chaela.

I highly recommend Raging Sea by the extraordinary and gifted multi talented best selling author Terri Brisbin, for one could not put this book down and devoured it in one sitting! I now can't wait for Blazing Earth, the next book in Stone Circle series.
Readers can read this as a stand alone , but I highly recommend you read Rising Fire too, another fabulous spellbinding marvelous imaginative, and fun read. As you will be able to make the connections to some of the characters who reappear in this book, though you can do it just by reading Raging Sea too.
I find I am more emotionally connected to the characters when I do this plus I love to connect the dots!

Rising Fire - Book 1 available for purchase now 2. I was drawn to the blurb for Raging Sea. It includes stone circles, the 13th century, new powers manifesting, ancient evil, and lovers drawn together to fight evil. Prime ingredients for a great fantasy. This book is beautifully picturesque. Brisbin's ability to paint scene is well demonstrated in Raging Sea. I could feel myself wandering about the Orkney Islands investigating the stones circle right along with Ria and Soren. Magic and mysticism, good and evil, gods and mortals. The drama fue I was drawn to the blurb for Raging Sea. The drama fueled by these elements is fascinating to read about.
The border between good and evil is clearly delineated so it is not hard to pick a side. On the good side, mortals imbued with godlike abilities are very human, with all the weaknesses inherent in men and women.
The Highlander's Runaway Bride by Terri Brisbin
The initial lack of trust between Ria and Soren is a huge obstacle to overcome. Almost as big an obstacle as the evil Hugh. Hugh, on the other hand, though he is also a mortal with the godlike fireblood abilities, seems to have left his humanity far behind. His single-minded purpose has left him with no pity, no conscience and no room for mercy.
The story of Raging Sea is constantly moving forward. Pages are ever turning. I was caught up in the story of Stormblood and Waterblood without having read the first book in the series, Rising Fire, so it does work as a standalone. Occasionally, the writing slowed me down. One of the descriptions of the ritual they would follow was confusing. There were complex sentences that started in one direction, only to lose that direction by the end of the sentence.
Also, changes in point of view were not always evident. I was reading an ARC. So the final version published may have dealt with some of these issues. But these things did distract me from the story. Hence the 4-star rating instead of 5 stars. Overall, though, Raging Sea is a beautifully told story that is very creative and packed with action and drama.
I would recommend this book to readers of historical fantasy. Nov 10, Holly rated it it was ok Shelves: I didn't connect with the characters and the story was moving really slow. I may try to get back to it later. Aug 11, Deborah Roussety rated it it was amazing. Oct 09, Erin rated it it was ok Shelves: Started off well, but didn't keep my attention. And the romance dialogue between the main characters was just ridiculous. Dec 24, OpenBookSociety. Eons ago, seven ancient deities trapped the goddess of chaos under a ring of stones. Her hope for survival is in the hands of Soren, the man she once loved, the man who betrayed her, and the only man she can trust in a raging battle against evil.
Raging Sea is the second book in the Stone Circles series and takes place in A. Scotland, a time when Christianity has firmly taken hold and the ancient gods and goddesses have been cast aside by all but the most secret of followers. Eons before, Chaela, the goddess of fire and chaos, was entombed by her fellow deities, the gods and goddesses of war, healing, earth, water, and beasts, known as the Warriors of Destiny.
She waits impatiently for her time to rise again waiting for the right ancestor to free her. The time has come for the descendants of the Warriors of Destiny to rise for the ultimate battle of good versus evil. Everyone considers Einar to be simply an old man who has become a bit dotty with age, but he is really a priest of the old gods tasked with carrying on their legacy.
Strange things begin to happen to Soren, and he discovers that he is from the line of Taranis, a Stormblood able to command the weather. But strange things are happening to her, too, and she finds that she is a Waterblood able to control all water. When her father is kidnapped by Lord Hugh, Rav must turn to Soren for help saving him and keeping Chaela from being unleashed.
I really like the premise of this series with its Scotland setting, and I enjoyed the first book in the series Rising Fire.
However, Raging Sea seemed to simply rehash what went on in the first book with new characters. Recurring characters also made appearances, and they did add some much needed variety. I recommend it to fans of dark magic with a good versus evil battle, those who like romance with their fantasy, and those interested in thirteenth century Scotland. Mar 13, Paranormal Romance rated it it was amazing Shelves: Once upon a time the hero and heroine were closer and more in love than two people could ever be.
Then the hero betrayed her and her brother and broke her trust. But she never stopped loving him and even now two years later the idea of seeing him again is like a rush of blood to the head. The hero has lived with the guilt over his actions and the pain it's caused the heroine for so long and even though he's innocent of the betrayal she thinks of him, he can never allow her to know it.
Now she's Once upon a time the hero and heroine were closer and more in love than two people could ever be.
Raging Sea
Upon the death of his grandfather who raised him like a father, the hero is stunned when he begins to develop strange yet awesome powers over the wind and lightning. And he sees the changes within the woman he loves as well. The heroine is anxious to leave the place which gives her such painful memories but she awaits on her father.
She too begins to discover power of water and feels the element call to her. Uncomfortable in each others presence and the amount of tension still resonating between them is almost unbearable. The heroine has never stopped loving the hero but the fact that he slept with her brothers betrothal and got her with child is enough to churn her stomach even now. But when she discovers the woman killed herself and her unborn baby, she's saddened all the same. And these new powers she and the hero have now are meant for something great and important-she can feel it.
So despite sore feelings and bitterness she must rely on him to see them through this new plot they find themselves in. Descended from the old gods, the powers within have lay dormant-waiting for the ancient evil to arise so the chosen few could rise up and stop it. This was by far a more interesting read than the first in the series. First off, the sexual and emotional tension between the hero and heroine was page scorching and it made me uncomfortable just reading it so imagine what they must have been going through.
I adored the hero. He was such a good man-loyal and faithful to only the heroine and it's his love for her that made him fall prey to her fathers schemes which kept them apart for so long. Every time he we reach out for her, it broke my heart to have him retreat-knowing she wasn't ready to accept him yet. He allowed her to be free-to discover the truth on her and despite what her father did to him, when she asked for the hero's help in rescuing him he never hesitated for a second.
And I adored the heroine in equal measure. She was hurt and distrustful of the man who was once her entire world but she's honest with herself that she still and will forever love him. Together they had awesome chemistry. I enjoyed the plot and mythology of the old Gods and priests and great evil. It was interesting and well written with a healthy amount of twists and turns. I'm actually looking forward to the next in the series to see where this author will take us next. These books incorporate the mysterious Stone Circles found throughout Europe a common one people recognize is Stonehenge.
Brisbin created this premise of ancient Gods who worked together to protect humanity from one of their own who sought to destroy them. They had to trap her, because they could not kill her. Understanding that her new husband is nothing like her father and actually a most honorable and kind man, Eva does what she can to exist, all the while yearning for what was so horribly torn from her.
What will Rob do when he finally discovers his wife's awful secret? Great writing by the consummate Terri Brisbin.

This writer knows how to grab attention and keep the reader in her grips until the end. Both Eva and Rob are strong and fascinating characters. Eva's tragic loss tugs at this reader's heartstrings and had me rooting for her and Rob the entire tale. Feb 07, Samantha rated it really liked it. I really liked how well developed the relationship between Eva and Rob was and how the story built it up. Rob is painted as a protector, a compassionate and tender man. I really enjoyed that because he did what he thought was necessary to protect Eva and have you trust him. It was a different dynamic than is what usually seen in these types of books which was a major plus.
Eva is an interesting heroine in that she causes her partner extreme hell.

She flies from the marr 4 solid Highlander stars. She flies from the marriage, struggles with her decisions and then struggles to be with him fully. She has issues relying on him even though he is a genuinely good man because of her father being the way he is.
Her trust and honest love come from Rob's constant reassurances of goodness through his actions. I found at times that the story dragged a bit and I usually like more physical love between two characters because who does't like sex? The dragging feeling is the main reason the book lost an entire star, though. I would probably read more books by Terri Brisbin because I do like the writing style over all. Dec 21, Sonya Heaney added it Shelves: I read it in one sitting, and enjoyed it more than I expected to.
Terri Brisbin is a marvellous writer, who seems to know how much stereotyping she can get away with at the same time as writing convincing characters. Her language works for me, and her storylines are larger than life at the same time as making sense to me. Not even which century it is! Now, off to read the first in the series.
