Publisher's summary

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 U.S. Of course Tru misses London and her best friend, Simone, but living happily ever after with Jake in L.A. 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?

Frustrating Tru

As much as I love these books, Tru is so frustrating! By now she should know how Jake is, and should know to give him time to process. She had time to process. Ugh! Kept me on the edge...

Great Continuation

What made the experience of listening to Wethering the Storm the most enjoyable?

I read the reviews and was thinking ‘ok is this going to be good?’ It was a much gentler story but tore at the heart. It was precious and sweet. Jake of course messed up big time a couple of times, but you really got to see how sweet he was and how he didn’t show the public. I loved the part about the tattoos Tom and Jake got, and I got really angry at him about his reaction when he found out Tru was pregnant. But Mrs. Towle really went into detail of Tru’s reaction to being pregnant. I wanted to strangle Tru at times through her difficulty when she realized and discovered she was pregnant. I wanted to lough out loud over the thought of Jake saying penis to the gorgeous female doctor. It was a riot and just the thought of that scene made me really curious to see a guy well-endowed like the description’s nickname snake. The story closed some areas such as with Simone and Denny, Stewart and hot doctor Josh, Smith and Johnny, and opened the door for Tom’s story.

Which scene was your favorite?

The scene where the boys got tattoed OMG

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

I laughed and got a little teary eyed .

Wonderful ending to one of my favorite reads.

This is my first time hearing the story, and my second time reading it. Both were great. I love this series.

as good as the first

both the Mighty Storm and this the second book in this series was well worth the credit. i really loved the story and all the characters. I laughed and cried, mostly cried but i would gladly read it again an cry some more, it is that good. i was truly sorry to have it end.
Justine Eyre did an amazing job narrating but trust me when i say i will be looking for more stories by this author

Good sequel, happy ending for Tru and Jack.

Any additional comments?

A great happy ending for Tru and Jack. I am surprise how immature Tru acted in the book. I found her unlikable and annoying at times. Her lack of trust and insecurity of Jack was distracting b/c I found myself getting very angry and annoy. Jack was great. He was the mature, loving, and responsible one in this book. I love the supporting characters and the band members were awesome. If you read The Mighty Storm, this sequel is a must read.

Better than the first book in the series

Much better than the first book (The Mighty Storm) in the series. Tru is still frustrating indecisive and changes thoughts and opinions on a dime. There is still lots of steamy sex. Jake is still a bad boy rocker, but he totally redeems himself in the end. The book summary makes a big deal about Jake not wanting kids and it being a potential deal breaker, but that issue resolves rather quickly. By 75% in things were going so well that I knew something bad was coming because there was too much book left. And boy was it bad! But, don't fret, there is a very happy ending! Jake turns out to be a true romantic and a wonderful father! I listened to this book while exercising and it provided a pleasant diversion.

great follow up story

I expected most of the things to happen as they did with their relationship. It would have been heartbreaking not to. The accident was a shock, but the story could have taken a darker turn. The narrator was great as usual too.

A Feel-Good Rocker Story

This is the second book in the Mighty Storm series. It followed in the same vein as the first but of course, now we get the HEA which was satisfying even if predictable. The secondary characters enhanced the story and created a fun atmosphere. Looking forward to more in the series.

Gripping Story

This book had me glued to the stereo. I drove the long way to work some days so i wouldnt have to turn it off. Loved it.

JUST MAGIC.... PURE MAGIC

Phew, what an intense outstanding listen this was as Jake and Tru 's difficult relationship continues it's roller coaster emotional journey and you can't help but totally fall in love with Jake and sympathise with Tru's insecurities. But despite everything life throws at them, they hold on to each other and are determined to beat everything for the sake of true love and you, the listener, become captured hour by hour as their story slowly deliciously unfolds.

I heard and held every single word in reverence as their intense love story resumes and it takes the listener on such highs and lows as Chapter after Chapter unfolds to reveal the joy, sorrow, sexual pleasures, anger, humor, passion, love, heartache, shock and sheer desperation as their tumultuous love affair is tested over and over again. Then the couple endure the ultimate crushing impact and will their relationship finally be tested far beyond it's limits or can true love, at last, save the day.

Samantha Towle effortless weaves the plot and characters together to produce a magical romantic listen that will be very hard to forget and Justine Eyre's narration breathes life, feelings and depth into each and every character so together they will make you smile, laugh, sigh, cry and want to fly with the sheer joy of it.

I wish I had listened to book 1 again and then gone straight into this for the ultimate experience however I didn't but if you haven't already downloaded book 1 then I suggest you do that. Not a stand alone listen.

Worth a credit? It's well worth a credit - even 2 (but shhh don't tell Audible), a great addition to My Library and a definite re listen at some point.
