After narrowly escaping with their lives, three lovers board the Kraken once more, determined to uncover who tried to kidnap them—and why. Reveling in each other’s tangled embrace, water nymph Naia, god of love Aleksi, and pirate lord Einar sail back to the kingdom of ice. But the enemy they seek hides deep within the queen’s court. And the traitor’s trail of deception leads to a danger unlike anything they’ve ever encountered.
As the trio bears witness to old powers rising anew, memories from another lifetime come to the surface too. Naia and Einar, each discovering hidden truths about themselves, get swept up in a past connection that further complicates their current situation—and their mutual devotion to Aleksi.
Up against an ancient enemy who has wronged each of them deeply and personally, they have only one path that offers a chance at the ultimate sacrifice. But love is a powerful weapon, and the island’s ancient magic still harbors a few secrets.
Prince of Storms concludes the duology series Born to Sea and Storm, featuring a thruple between the God of Love, the Kraken and a newly born Sea Nymph. While this is supposed to be a stand along set of books, I really believe to get the full context and enjoy it, you need to have read the Consort of Fire series as well. Otherwise I don’t think the villain is going to make a lot of sense.
Kit Rocha is one of the few authors I’ve read that I completely enjoy the thruple relationship and feel like they are captured well. Naia and Einar did get most of the plot points in this story as their past and their connection to the Island is unfolded to the reader. The dip into their past existences did through a little strain on Alexi and where he felt his place in their lives should be. I loved the Naia is really the glue that holds the relationships together, understanding each man and the needs they have to be in this relationship.
The villain was similar to the Consort of Fire series but I was happy that there was a solid conclusion to that thread at least. With more interactions with the court of dreamers I was glad to see Ash, Sachi and Zanya make an appearance and see how they are dealing with the fallout from their story. Naia has really grown into her own, even as she is dealing with memories from a life she once lived and the power gifted to her by the Island. There are plenty of cute and tender moments for our main characters and not quite as much steam as other Kit Rocha books I’ve read.
The story conclusion was extremely satisfying. I really liked how well each character fulfilled their role in the end and trusted one another to get it done. It showed the growth of their relationships and ability to not make the same mistakes of the past.

Tim Campbell is a fantastic narrator is performed his PoV perfectly. I always enjoy his narrations, he has a distinctive voice that stays with you. Avery Caris was a new to me narrator but she was a good choice for Naia’s voice and was still able to capture the lower register well for the male voices. Shane East also is an accomplished narrator and held his own up against Tim Campbell for comparison. All narrators had their own spin that meshed well with one another and didn’t overly distract from the way the other PoVs captured the narrative.

About Kit Rocha
Once upon a time, two best friends decided to write paranormal romance. And while that was awesome, they also sometimes wanted to write insanely dirty stuff that wasn’t paranormal at all. This is that stuff.
Kit Rocha is the dystopian-erotic-romance writing alter-ego of writing duo Moira Rogers.
How do you make a Moira Rogers? Take a former forensic science and nursing student obsessed with paranormal romance and add a computer programmer with a passion for gritty urban fantasy. Toss in a dash of whimsy and a lot of caffeine, and enjoy with a side of chocolate by the light of the full moon.
By day, Bree and Donna are mild-mannered ladies who reside in the Deep South. At night, when their husbands and children are asleep, they combine forces to unleash the product of their fevered imaginations upon the page

Quite the names there, Aleksi is a normal Finnish name, Einar is some 90 year old in Sweden
haha…kind fitting then since both have been alive for hundreds of years of Einar and Aleksi has eons it seems.
It’s hard to do a thruple or more couple! Kuddos that this worked well.
Their are only two authors who have written books that have thruples that I have really enjoyed Kit Rocha has 4 books and Ruby Dixon has 1. I’ve read a few others who have tried but it never seemed like a thruple, more like a couple that just has threesomes sometimes. There is a difference.
This is an author duo I’ve thought about trying. This does sound like it could be a good read. Thanks for sharing!

They’re great when you want a little spice with your dystopian or fantasy reads.
