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?

Jusitne always does a great job. She really adds to the story.

Highly recommend. I look forward to listening to more of Samantha Towle.

WOW.......

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would recommend this book. The sex; the comedy; the hearbreak; the love these two have for each other is amazing. They have overcome so much to be together and it was almost ripped away. But there love is unbreakable.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Both Tru and Jake. The first book took me for a ride but this book just... wow.. It was both breathtaking and heartbreaking at the same time. Excellent follow up. The supporting characters are a scream...

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

She's a little nasal but she does a great job. I'm a fan of hers. So I've always liked her as a narrator. On this book however she really brought it to life for me.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The hospital scene ripped out my heart and put it back together. I cried!

Any additional comments?

This book is worth a credit or credit card. Sex scenes are awesome too but all in all a really good book. ..

Very Real....

What did you love best about Wethering the Storm?

I got to see the ever after of Jake and Tru. It wasn't perfect, but it is fabulous. Jake was continuously reinstating his fidelity. He did not cheat, not even 'lookery'. The twist in the story had me scared for a moment, but I am relieved. And we got JJ out of it. Yeah, am being vague right now. No spoilers.

What other book might you compare Wethering the Storm to and why?

Maybe SC Stephens 'Reckless'. There was almost the same type of twist.

Which scene was your favorite?

Jake with JJ for the first time, and his subsequent care for him.

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

Yes

Nice conclusion

Sweet conclusion to the first book. Not a whole lot happens for most of it. Repetitive dialogue. Fantastic narration. Was expecting more from this series but it was only okay for me.

Decent follow up.

If you could sum up Wethering the Storm in three words, what would they be?

Good wrap up.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Anytime Jake tells Tru "I love you so fuckin' much"

Any additional comments?

While I appreciate how hard it is to do an unfamiliar accent. The narrators rendition of Jake turned me off so bad I almost stopped listening. SO nasally and whiny. Not the voice of a hot leading man.

great continuation

loved the first book and so happy to get the rest of the story. great read.

I Was Expecting More

Any additional comments?

The way Mighty Storm ended I really didnt think this would be your typical boy does't want kids, girl gets prego they fight oh yeah a accident happens he freaks out but now he is happy about the baby BLAH BLAH!! I really wanted more for Jake and Tru since their story was such a refreshing one to read initally.

Wethering

This is such a raw story. Justine Eyre did such a good job with the narration, you could feel all the emotions of Jake and Trudy. This was honestly better than book one.

A second book!

A second book for a great couple! Though WHY is she always trying to leave Jake?! Geez!

Still, I REALLY enjoyed the depth of their love for each other so it was nice we got to continue their story!

Narrator was not good

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

First of all this book was amazing and very well written but sad that is was narrated by a weak narrator.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Justine Eyre?

I would have casted anyone else but Justine Eyre no offense but Every once in a while I could barely understand what she was saying and how she portrayed other characters voices was horrible especially jake he sounded like a frog in pain,tru was okay but the other characters voices needed a lot more work.Also there was no emotion in the voices .It was a sad performance for such a wonderful book
