Tornado

by M.E. Tudor

After forty years away, Cam Carpenter returns home for her mother’s funeral—and into the arms of a stranger. But when morning comes, she finds out that Shiloh Sampson, the woman whose arms she woke up in, is the daughter of Cam’s first girlfriend—the woman who ruined her life.

Shiloh thinks she'll settle for the commission on the sale of Cam’s house; neither she nor Cam expects their sudden attraction.

A tornado ripping down Cam’s family’s house causes a series of events that reveal long buried truths about Shiloh’s mother leading her to turn to Cam for understanding and the possibility of something more.

Tornado is a haunting lesbian romantic drama about guilt, survival, and finding connection in the ruins of the past.

Thunderstruck!

That's how this book will leave you. This book has just enough mystery, suspense, and romance to keep you turning the pages. Every time I thought I knew where the plot was headed, the story took another turn. If you enjoy romance, wrapped in intrigue and covered with a heavy dose of family drama, this is the book for you.

A Heartbreaking Return To One’s Hometown!

I am quickly becoming a fan of ME Tudor’s style of writing. I had just read “Second Chances” and Loved It. Now “Tornado”. This story captures you from the first pages with its fears, its hopes, it nightmares and its memories. I couldn’t put it down.

Very enjoyable read

This is a good book. The characters are interesting and likable except for the mother and brother who had mental illness. Interesting read.

2.75. It's kind of interesting but disjointed.
