Goodreads Blurb

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?

.

This book was awesome! I was so excited to find out what happens to Jake and Tru and I was not disappointed. I was first introduced to this book series sometime last summer 2012 and Goodreads recommended this book series after I read “Thoughtless” by S.C. Stephens.  This was a Rockstar romance book that had a very different story than “Thoughtless”.

.

If you have not read “The Mighty Storm”, you will need to do that before you read the sequel.  In the sequel, the author picks right off were they left it in the first book.  Spoiler Alert if you have not read the second book.

.

Tru and Jake are back together, and yes, there is mention at the beginning of the book of Jake’s past drug use, but you will be surprised that “Wethering The Storm” is not centered on that.  Yes, it is referenced and discussed but it’s not the main focus.  Jake shows that he loves Tru throughout the book.

.

“There isn’t anything I won’t do for you, Tru.  Nothing I won’t do to make you happy.  What I feel for you… it’s limitless.  There is nothing before or after you. There is only you.”

.

“You belong to me, Tru.  No one touches you but me.”

.

Jake as you can read is totally smitten by Tru.  There was a lot of reaffirming that for Tru, but you know that it would not be a good book without some kind of drama – and yes, the author did it again with the heavy duty story line.  Just know that the drama does not come from all of his past drug use, it is an entirely different thing that the author tackles in this book and it will have you swooning for Jake even more.

.

The author also puts a spot light on the supporting characters in the Epilogue like Stuart – Jake’s assistant – and his life.  I also enjoyed reading about Tru’s best friend Simone and her wonderful story; the author wrap-ups her story with a nice little bow.  Although it was sad at the end to have the story come to a conclusion.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
