Oh, how I LOVE this book... I am in AWE.
I just didn't see that coming at all.

Hot Alpha male lead + intense, angsty romance usually make for a winning combination for me. Although, sometimes they are risky, since they either come with disappointments and/or betrayals and heartbreaks. «The Mighty Storm», however, was IT for me.

I already have a soft spot for couples who have a history of being childhood sweethearts, so yeah, I already was in a position to like Trudy's and Jake's story.

But WOW all Oh, how I LOVE this book... I am in AWE.

I already have a soft spot for couples who have a history of being childhood sweethearts, so yeah, I already was in a position to like Trudy's and Jake's story.

But WOW all the same. I was not at all prepared for this huge, emotional blow out. I just love what Tru and Jake are together. SO MUCH.

Both Tru and Jake are imperfect, they have their own flaws, fears and weaknesses: Tru lacks decisiveness and courage, whereas Jake tends to be irrational, blinded by possessiveness.
But when those two get together, they are simply AMAZING. All the passion, all the love they each feel for the other gets multiplied by a million, and really, it just comes alive, right out of the pages! Like a newly-formed, real and solid presence that you want to grasp with your hands and hug, preciously, close to your heart.

THANK GOD the cheating part doesn't last through all the book. This is not another one of those horrible storylines and their goal of putting your patience to test which, eventually, make you lose your temper and ever loving mind; you don't face one of those crazy, impossible situations for any unbearable amount of time, to the point that you want to bang your head on your desk, out of anger and frustration. THANK GOD this is not one of those stupid plots and their twisted, wicked way of forcing you to be witness to a tragedy bound to happen (the latest examples I have in mind: « Thoughtless » and « Callum and Harper »).

Honestly, I didn't know a day would come when I'd profess my love for a book which contains cheating. That totally goes against all of my romantic beliefs.

Truly, I could go on, and on, about how much I love this book. But, if there's only one thing I have to highlight, in all of this, it is TRU & JAKE'S INCREDIBLE CHEMISTRY.
I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them two together.
And I can't wait to read the continuation of their story. ...more

This book proves that nobody's perfect. It made me realize that no matter how you wanted to make someone happy... At the end of the day, you are still human prone to committing mistakes. This is how Jake Weders weathered the storm in this book ;) ...more

I completely forgot to add my review to Goodreads...two months ago!*slaps forehead hard*

"Men want to be him, women want to screw him ... most wanting to be the one to tame the untameable Jake Wethers."

I'll be honest here...I don't even know where to begin with this one! I LOVED me some Jake Wethers! Well, I always love a good rock star book, but Samantha Towle has really rocked my world with TMS. I feel like I am riding a Jake Wethers high, and I don't want to it's impossible to come down. I rea ...more

Totally love Jake. Meanwhile, I want to drop kick Tru in the throat! Despite her incessant annoyance I really enjoyed the story once I got past the word vomit and annoying repetition of the same phrases or same explanation multiple times! I'll read the next one though. ...more
