Product Description
Shell-shocked after a nightmarish school shooting, Amalie Pope retreats to an aging plantation house near Bordelaise, Louisiana, to heal, physically and emotionally. She’s there barely an hour when a tornado rips through bayou country, mercifully leaving the house intact. She’s stranded, but unafraid—until a knock on the door.
Four escaped prisoners barge inside, and in an instant Amalie is a hostage again. These men are wounded, desperate and treacherous—with one exception. Undercover DEA operative Nick Aroyo is on the run with the gang he’s infiltrated. The only thing he wants more than this collar is to protect fragile, frightened Amalie, who has surrendered herself to his care, body, soul…and heart. But he’ll have to play the thug in order to keep her—and his secret—safe, because even though the storm has passed, the danger remains….

The final book in the Storm Front series is competent and well written if a bit slow. Nick is undercover as a drug pusher. Nick and the 3 thugs he was jailed with escape after the tornado rips the back off the jail. Nick stays with the group to be sure they are arrested and place in jail. They steal a car and place Bordelaise trying to get to New Orleans. The leader of the group was severely injured during the storm and they want to get him to a hospital. Before they can get to New Orleans, the car runs out of gas and Nick goes hunting for shelter or another car. He arrives at The Vatican, the home owned by Amalie Pope, who has just returned from a teaching position in Texas, where she was shot by an mad student. Suffering from PTSD Amalie looks forwards to returning to her childhood home where her beloved Nonna, died after hearing that she had been shot.
Nick brings the gang to the house because he thought they could steal the car or question the owner to call friends in New Orleans to pick them up. I don’t know why a seasoned undercover agent would reflect that way but this is suspense fiction.
Nick is noble and Amalie really likes him but realizes that he is with the incorrect crowd so he must be as terrible as they are. This was a excellent tale and the violence was limited; Nick stood up for Amalie against Lou Drake a sadistic, stupid thug who cares about no one but himself. I really liked Amalie and she really stood up for herself even though she was terrified.
While I really loved the whole series, I thought the plot development of this book stirred very slowly. I did place this down and pick it up several times but, since I’m a huge Sala fan, I had to end it. My rating would be a 3.5 since I thought it was better than a 3 – I used 4.

After the deadly mass murders at the high school graduation in Jasper, Texas where she was the art teacher, Amalie Pope came home to heal. Suffering from PTSD she moves into the Bordelaise, Louisiana home of her recently deceased beloved Nonna. Amalie hopes some R&R will help her regain her equilibrium though she doubts it as she vividly see Pauly Jordon kill four students, two teachers and two parents as well as wounding six others including her.
But, as a replacement for of a relief, four treacherous males invade her home. They use her as a hostage. She is frightened as she expects even with negotiations she will die. One of the deadly felons Nick Arroyo senses the fears that Amalie displays. He wants to extract her from the scenario, but doing so will blow his take in and place both of them in peril. Amalie feels Nick is different from the others as he seems kind while the remaining threesome are beasts. The undercover DEA agent is her solo hope for survival, but she wavers over trusting him as he came with them.
The latest Storm Front romantic suspense (see Torn Apart and Blown Away) is a terrific taut thriller that works because of the quintet inside the house. The three predators especially Lou and the lead couple make for a tense tale as readers marvel how Nick will expedite Amalie from the deadly situation.

Art teacher Amalie Pope survives a Columbine-like school shooting, only to face renewed danger when she returns home to recuperate at the Louisiana Antebellum estate she has inherited from her grandmother. Alone on the remote property in the aftermath of a destructive tornado, Amalie must rely on her wits for survival when four escaped prisoners choose her secluded home will make the perfect hideaway.
Swept Aside by Sharon Sala is the perfect summer beach read. Quick-paced and simply plotted, the novel provides a liberal dose of romance and escapism. Nick Aroyo is a hunky DEA agent/informant about to wrap up months of undercover work when he is arrested along with several members of the gang he has infiltrated. Nick and his fellow prisoners escape following a tornado that nearly levels the town, taking refuge at Amalie’s home with the intention of lying low until the police abandon their search. What follows are the usual scenarios establish in this type of tale (the attempted rape of Amalie by one of the gang members, dissension among the gang over Amalie’s fate, plot devices employed to keep the gang from leaving too soon, and coincidences that force the tale toward its conclusion).
Hero Nick Aroyo comes to Amalie’s rescue with all the courage and gallantry required in a hero, while Amalie’s responses range from classic post traumatic stress disorder symptoms to moments of outright sassiness. Despite a few flaws in logic (Amalie walks five miles on blacktop despite temperatures in the upper nineties while carrying her tennis shoes, preferring burned feet to blisters on her heels), Swept Aside still delivers an entertaining tale with a satisfying HEA.
The additional books in the Storm Front trilogy are Torn Apart and Blown Away. The leader also writes as Dinah McCall.
