The Mighty Storm

The Mighty Storm by Samantha Towle

My rating (out of 5 stars):

2 stars—It was OK.

Description from Goodreads.com:

“It's been twelve 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 the 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 fourteen.

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?”

My Thoughts:

I felt like this could have been a great story… but it had so many redundancies and went overboard on dysfunction.

I actually hated the female character—Tru. She was shallow, immature and materialistic. A very cliché, dumb girl. The way she treats her boyfriend is just so wrong. I wanted her to be left alone in the end!!

And Jake… seriously? He is “recovering” from a drug addiction. Even though he is described as recovering he is clearly not. I wanted him to actually get clean and then find someone else in the end.

And here is yet another book that goes on into a second book and then there are probably more after that. I read the reviews and decided it wasn’t worth wasting three more hours of my life.
