Wethering The Storm BY Samantha Towle (BK#2)

Music journalist Tru Bennett has done the impossible: capture the heart of rock-star bad boy Jake Wethers. Now they’re busy planning a wedding and navigating their new life together in the US. Of course Tru misses London and her best friend, Simone, but living happily ever after with Jake in LA is going to be great…right?

Wrong. Even the bright California sun can’t whitewash the dark side of celebrity coupledom. Greedy music execs, merciless paparazzi, and Jake’s wild past are lurking around every corner. Making matters worse, Jake announces he doesn’t want kids, which just may be a deal breaker. 

Tru loves Jake more than anything. But when a devastating crisis threatens to destroy everything they’ve fought for, the couple must face the hard truth: What if, this time, love is not enough?

Holly's Review:

I think because it's been so long I sort of forgot how much I FREAKING LOVE JAKE WETHERS!!!

Once upon a long time ago, in Manchester, a girl moved in next door to a boy... 

This book pics up right where the first one left off with Jake and Tru on their island spending some well deserved time alone together. Which is all well and good but now they need to head back to reality and work at making a life together. Which is not as easy as it sounds what with Jake being a smoking hot, former man-whoring rock star! Real life and the past are bound to intrude and make the road a little bumpy.

But if any couple can do it it's Jake and Tru!! There love is amazing! 

"My love for you is limitless, it knows no bounds. You're in my veins. I bleed you. I belong to you...I always have and always will." He takes a deep breath. "You will always be my June, Tru." 

See what I mean...AWESOME LOVE!!

What I love most is that it is a lifetime love, Jake and Tru were the best of friends growing up and circumstances separated them and it took them 12 years to reconnect. Now that they have, the road is rocky but their love for each other is off the charts. So you just know they will find their HEA! 

I really don't want to talk about the struggles they face in this book simply because I don't want to give anything away, you really need to experience it for yourself. I will promise you though after all the intense emotions you go through with these characters they do find their HEA and we get a wonderfully beautiful epilogue!! So please, if you haven't yet experience the phenomenon that is Jake Wethers and The Mighty Storm you need to do so immediately!! You won't regret it, I Promise!!

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning. 

The Mighty Storm By Samantha Towle

  It's been twelve years since Tru Bennett last saw Jake Wethers, her former best friend and boy she once loved.

Jake Wethers, sexy, tattooed and deliciously bad lead singer, and brains behind The Mighty Storm, one of biggest bands in the world, left Tru with a broken heart when he moved from England to America with his family when they were both fourteen.

Sent to interview Jake for her music column by the magazine she works for, they are both unprepared for the sparks that fly the instant they reconnect. Only, there’s a complication to their instant feelings for one another – Will, Tru’s boyfriend of two years.

Then Jake makes Tru a job offer she can't refuse - travelling the world with him and his band. But taking the job means leaving Will behind, and being on the road with the band means spending an inordinate amount of time with Jake.

Is Tru strong enough to resist the delectable bad boy who once held her heart so completely, or will she willingly risk it all for one night with the worlds most notorious womanizer?

Holly's Review:

You know, I keep asking myself what is not to love about a story about a sexy tattooed rockstar??? I really can't come up with anything! But this books is seriously about so much more. We have a friends to lovers story, a love triangle and lots, and lots of drama!

Now, a love triangle story kinda gets me nervous to read, especially when to tend to like all of three people and know you are going to root for the love of the hero and heroine, but that said I hate when someone gets hurt and you know that with any well written story you are going to hurt for the person left behind. No matter who they are. But that is the mark of a really well written story, right? Feeling the pain and pleasure right along with the characters.

Jake and Tru were best friends growing up and when Jake moved to the states and time passed they lost touch, as it happens sometimes but they never forgot each other. If fact Tru was madly in love with Jake when they were younger and finds herself nervous at the thought of having to face him after all this time when she is commissioned to interview him for the magazine she works for.

The interview is a success along with a lets catch up dinner and the next thing Tru knows, she finds herself touring with the band and writing Jake's biography. Now, you tell me how, even with a girl who has a wonderful boyfriend she loves is going to resist the pull of her first love??

I never knew it was possible to love men at the same time.
But I do. I love Will and Jake.
I just love Jake more, and that means I will have to let Will go.

I can't tell you how many times in this book I found myself full on crying. It is incredibly emotional and I loved every minute!!
