My Review: 
"Storms in Serenity" by Fay Lamb is a modern-day retelling of the Biblical truths of the aftermath of David’s sin with Bathsheba and the destruction the storms of life that blew apart not only David’s family but also those he called friends. Mostly, though, "Storms in Serenity", is a novel that proves that when it comes to sin, truly, no man is an island. This statement is from the author's guest post on the blog. I included it in this review because while I was reading it I thought this is just like Bathsheba and David in the Bible. The character that caused one of the storms is even named David. Of course, there are differences in the outcome of the two stories.  There is more than one storm in this story, some caused by sin and then there is the storm caused by nature.

"Storms in Serenity" by Fay Lamb is a story of betrayal and sin. It is also a story of love and forgiveness. There is violence and rape in the story and adultery but it isn't graphic. Even, though the story isn't graphic the reader is able to feel the characters's pain.

This story is a perfect example of these quotes from the book "God's gifts don't always come in beautifully wrapped packages, but we have to peer inside to find out how glorious they can be."  " But God does turn our mistakes into wonderment, doesn't he?"

This book has many twists in the plot, there are lots of characters and each one seems to have a secret.

"Storms in Serenity" by Fay Lamb is a love story, that I recommend to readers that like love stories with a little mystery. 

"Storms in Serenity" by Fay Lamb is the first  book in the "Serenity Key" series. I am anxiously awaiting book two. 

I received a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

Guest Post from Fay Lamb

ONCE UPON A STORM I’m one of those people who love storms. I revel in the lightning that streaks across the sky, the rumble of thunder as it rolls over the air, and I dance to the eerie sound of the wind coming through a crack in the window. Storms don’t frighten me. I’m an East Coast Floridian. I’ve lived through many a tempest. However, so that you won’t think me completely insane, I have also fled a few hurricanes. In our house, a Cat III storm is something to debate as we watch to see how low the millibars fall at the storm’s center. A Cat IV means gather the important documents, place them into plastic bags and tuck them into plastic tubs, batten down the hatches, and depending upon its projected proximity, hunker down or flee. A Cat V is a no-brainer. Run! If only the storms in our lives had categories so that we know when to stand and face the winds of life or to debate the direction, or to decide when to flee. Sometimes, the storms of life come at us without warning, with no stirring up of the waters by our own hands. Other times, the storms can be abated by the stance we take, the decisions we make, and by failing to move out of harm’s way, perhaps in an opposite direction. That’s what my first novel in The Serenity Key series is about: one man stirred up a storm many years prior. The destructive force of that storm amassed because he didn’t take a stand, he failed to make crucial decisions, and he choose to run from a situation that God would not allow him to outrun. Storms in Serenity is a modern-day retelling of the Biblical truths of the aftermath of David’s sin with Bathsheba and the destruction the storms of life that blew apart not only David’s family but also those he called friends. Mostly, though, Storms in Serenity, is a novel that proves that when it comes to sin, truly, no man is an island.

Sounds like a good read! Great review, and I loved this part: "God's gifts don't always come in beautifully wrapped packages, but we have to peer inside to find out how glorious they can be."

This was one of the Bible stories that really surprised me as a teen. It made me realize that God could really forgive anything.
