The Mighty Storm

Mighty Storm Series, Book 1

By: Samantha Towle

Narrated by: Justine Eyre

It's been 12 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 14. 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 world's most notorious womanizer?

Good Listen

Where does The Mighty Storm rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's good. I wish it was a great as Olivia Cunning's Sinner's Series, but I haven't found any books based on rock bands as good as her's. Anyway in TMS it's good but I do get aggravated at Tru because she just can't seem to make her mind up on what she wants.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, it isn't that consuming for me that I just have to listen until the end without interruption.

Any additional comments?

I'd rather get this one on sale than use my credit. Like I said eariler, it's a good listen, but I'd rather use my credits on those books that fire my senses.

High Quality Rocker Romance

I enjoyed The Mighty Storm which gave a bit different take on the typical rocker romance. The story line was unique as two childhood loves reconnected and tried to make an adult relationship work. With trials thrown in the way and great secondary characters to round out the story, I found the book enjoyable.

Jake.....Rock God

I absolutely loved this story from the get go. Hearing it made it that much better. With the narrators accent it really brought the story to life. Jake and Tru....wow, what a happy train wreck they could be. But also, what a beautiful couple they were when Jake was not using.

about 8 chapters too long

What made the experience of listening to The Mighty Storm the most enjoyable?

really liked the narrator.

Has The Mighty Storm turned you off from other books in this genre?

no

What does Justine Eyre bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

lots of emotion in the voices and loved Jake's voice

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

made me angry. I didn't like the stupid choices Tru made from sleeping with Jake when she was still with her boyfriend to the way she told him to the way she hung on to being mad at Jake for his drug use and sleeping around.

Any additional comments?

I don't like books written in the 1st person as a rule, but the narrator convinced me to listen with the hope of being hooked into the story. However, I put the story on fast speed to get it over with as I admit to being curious as to how it would end but just could not stand Tur's wishy washy back and forth attitude.

Great Story, but...

This was a great story, but the voice of Jake was so off-putting! Only worked when he was yelling. Also, Tru was not very sympathetic, I hope the rest of the series is better!
