Something Like Thunder

Something Like..., Book 6

By: Jay Bell

Narrated by: Kevin R. Free

This isn't a coming out story. Nor is it the tale of a lonely heart-seeking companionship. This is about how I learned to fight.

My name is Nathaniel Courtney, and I m a survivor. I didn't let the cruelty of others wear me down, and I've weathered the more subtle hardships of the heart. Love is a Trojan horse, slipping past your guard and leaving you ransacked and vulnerable. I emerged from that war not unscathed but as a new man. The only mistake I ever made was letting the right guy get away. Now I've got one more chance. This is the final battle, because if I fail now...I won't. You'll see. Just listen to my story, Kelly Phillips, and when I'm done, please don t walk away. Take this weary soldier into your arms so we can find peace together.

Something Like Thunder is the sixth book in the ongoing Something Like... series, shedding light on past events while leading the listener toward an exciting new future.

The Something Like... series:

• 1. Something Like Summer
• 2. Something Like Winter

I'm a sucker for this series

So, admittedly, this was not my favorite in the series, but I still loved every minute. Happy endings happy endings happy endings. They bring me to silly tears. I have to credit the author for cleverly bringing back characters and even recycling scenes from previous books in the series but from a different character's point of view. He also artfully takes a villain or unsavory character from a previous book and makes you care about them. These are just really good romantic fun in between a lot of the serious reading and listening I get to do for my job.

Fave

This is definitely my favorite in the series so far! On to the next one!

Something Like Over

I started reading Jaybell about three or four years ago and since then I have read everything that he has now said to say there's nothing more to pick from.
I have truly enjoyed the series and look forward to anything new that may be added under Jay's name I also. I also hope that the rumors that I have heard about a film being made out of one of the original books is true. I am keeping my eyes open for that.

Something Like.....Everything!!!!

After 6 books, I have ridden a wave of all emotions imaginable. As I'm writing this, I still have watery eyes. Jay bell does an amazing job of making you fall in love with his characters, even if your first impression of them was hate. A longing of what most of these characters have, love, is what rebounds in your heart as you listen to his stories.

When I first met Kelly, back in book 4, I couldn't stand him, thinking he was a queeny snob, the type of gay man I can't stand. Then I heard his story...and I fell in love. Same can be said for Nathaniel. At first he was a cold hearted man who seemed distant, but eventually thawed when the one thing he wanted was right in front of him. Both characters made you hate them, love them, get irritated with them, be sad for them then eventually fall in love with them and what they have...each other.

I only hope that Mr. Bell continues their story, and others in the series, so we can continue our roller coaster of emotions until it ends (hopefully never) with a high and fulfilling note.

Mr. Bell has skyrocketed to the top of my favorites list with his writing style and his books.

Now....to continue the adventure with the next book. Won't you join me?

GREAT SEQUAL

loved it. cannot believe it ended on such a high note. I thought it would end in a disaster.

Another great listen

Ok....first off... in the past 5 books Marcelo has by far become my favorite charcter and I have to say hearing his character in Kevin R. Free's makes him that much better!! By far one of the most entertaining charcters....any chance of him getting his own spin off book of how he came to be?

But back to Nathaniel....I love his story and him with Kelly. I like that this story took a darker turn then previous books with taking on abuse. None the less, as always...I love this series.

Never disappoints!

I adore this series. This one was one of my favorites. SO SATISFYING!
What a wonderful author and what a mind he has.

LOVE THE SOMETHING LIKE Series

I am just in love with all of the SOMETHING Like Series. A must read them all.
THANK YOU JAY BELL

My Favorite thus far

Any additional comments?

1. Nathaniel is HOT AS F! (subjective lol but still). I LOVED his story line. I kinda wish that he and Tim did a little something but then decided to just be friends. My anticipation was going wild at the thought of those two studs getting together. I'm happy that he and Kelly ended up together. They are a good match!

Love the series

It’s so... amazing to have positive stories of gay men loving each other in healthy relationships. If you want to enter a whole universe, indulge!
