I would first like to thank the author for the book for an honest review:
The description/blurb sums this book up very well. This is a very very fast read! I was surprised that I finished it so fast. Even though it was a Cinderella Story, there was some parts lacking. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the story.
Best part of the story: I enjoyed seeing Kathy Mae blossom from feeling like nothing into being someone. Kathy Mae worked just a few hours a week at the local library and she discovered a self-help book. She lived with her aunt because her mother and father (both drug-heads) left her. She lived a very hard life. After reading and taking the advice of the book she got a new job and gained some confidence. Then walks in Mason Wheelwright. He must have the oddest jobs, that I have read: he raises camels. Strange, right?! But, it adds to the story! Well, their relationship blossoms (quickly) and then it just tappers off a bit. Then there is a tornado that hits the town (hence, the title) and their love resumes. Then Colette Cabot throws a twist in there that I did not even see coming and then Kathy Mae has to figure out her life all over again!
Not so great about book: This book is fast paced! I mean, really fast! I wish it would have slowed down a bit and been more of Mason and Kathy Mae's relationship. Kathy Mae went from not being sure of her life, to gaining a lot of confidence in the matter of a chapter! I liked the author's story and style of writing, but I wish it would have slowed down a bit.

I really enjoyed this simple Cinderella-like story. Kathy Mae has been beaten down, always told she is worthless by her good-for-nothing step-mother.. yet she managed to remain cheerful. I always enjoy a strong heroine who overcomes obstacles thrown her way, and Kathy decides her life is not what she wants and set out to change it. The change happened pretty quickly (a bit too quickly, but I won't ding it for that).. she lands a new job and meets a new guy. Romance soon blossoms but not before a whole lot of challenges are thrown in front of our heroine.
Without spoiling the ending, she comes to make an amazing discovery about herself, where she comes from and why she has been treated like she has been. This was a twist I did not see coming and really enjoyed the way the author spun the tale to give me a surprise but happy ending.
If you enjoy romance books with a sappy but happy ending, you'll enjoy this one.

I bought this based on the Goodreads reviews. I'm a sucker for a Cinderella story. Sadly, the book was essentially unreadable. It appears to be completely unedited and I would be willing to bet that every single sentence in the entire thing is grammatically incorrect. After spending about half an hour trying to skim it for an enjoyable storyline (and avoiding all the grammatical nightmares) I gave up. I was able to determine that the characters were trite and naive. It may have a great plot, But I was too distracted by the other issues to tell.

Wonderful romantic story with plenty of drama and suspense and a twist ending that was a nice and unexpected change. The happy ever after was expected and it was nice to see it when it finally happened after all the struggles she had to go through. Really enjoyed it and I hope this author publishes some more romance stories!
