I took off 2 stars for the HORRENDOUS use of Spanish by the main character... it’s worse than the garbage Google Translate spits out. As a Spanish teacher, I was offended.

3.5 Wishy Washy Stars
This book was recommended as one to read after Thoughtless. So, obviously, I couldn't wait to read it as Thoughtless is a favorite book of mine.
Unfortunately, I was left disappointed. Mainly because of the heroine and how wishy washy she was throughout the story. One moment, she would feel strongly one way, and then in the next moment, she'd be doing to the opposite. It was all just frustrating at times.
The storytelling was good enough to keep me glued to my Kindle, but there were definitely too many opportunities to elaborate on scenes that were missed. The author glossed over important details that I would have enjoyed experiencing while reading.
I finished this story because I was invested enough in it, but I'm not rushing to read the rest of the series.

Well, I can certainly say I wasn't expecting that!
Oh Tru, you are dumb. I hate avoidance rather than talking. It drives me up the wall.
Jake, you are lucky you have Tru, because no other girl would be by your side right now.
Stuart, I <3 you!

Oh my gosh. I’m writing this immediately after reading it and I just want to say, there is so much to talk about I don’t know if I will get it all in. I’m completely going to be a fan girl, so please prepare.
I started this book two different times, so it wasn’t love at first sight. However, that said, when you read this please get to page fifty at least. I think this book is so character driven that you simply become addicted to these people and how they relate to one another.
Tru Bennett is a journalist working at an up and coming magazine. When she is offered the chance to interview new “it” rock star, Jake Wethers she reluctantly agrees. Little do her bosses at the magazine know, Jake was her childhood friend, best friend really, and her first crush.
Jake has lived the life of a rockstar and lived it hard. Going through drug addiction, multiple women, and the death of his best friend and bandmate has made Jake realize he needs more in life. When he sees Tru’s name on a list of interviewers, all of his old feelings return for childhood bestfriend.
When Tru meets Jake again, she is nervous, but that quickly pales in comparison to their friendship as it quickly sparks back up. Adding to this complex situation is Tru’s boyfriend, the reliable and trusty Will.
Told from a first person point of view, Tru guides us through her story and romance with the ultimate rock star bad boy Jake and subsequent breakup with the good guy. The emotional intensity of this novel is simply wonderful and I noticed my stomach getting tight or tears in my eyes at certain points. Towele delves into some pretty heavy subjects such as drug use, death, domestic abuse and handles them exceptionally.
The Mighty Storm is definitely going to make my top ten list for the year, its that good. Jake just wants to be accepted for who he is and Tru is looking for a place to belong as well. Its a superb story, filled with fantastic characters and a fast paced story. To be honest, I didn’t want it to end and simply cannot wait for the next book in the series.

“I’ve only ever loved one girl, Tru – and that’s you. It’s always been you. I loved you from the moment I knew how to love.”

Whoa...it's been awhile since a book could get me this twisted! In a good way...I feel the excitement, nervousness and sexual tension!

DNF, at the beginning I thought she was just lame but that the story was good so I could deal with her, but there's nothing worse than a bitch that pretends to be nice. Sorry but the story could have been half its size if she wouldn't have been so frustrating!

It's been a while since I read a book that had me in tears, angry and angsty all at once. I fell in love with the characters and just felt like I was watching the scenes unfold in front of me. I love it when I not only fall in love with the characters but the writing as well. Cannot wait to read #2...great job!!
