The Storm #3.5
Perfetto con troppi difetti
La vita di Jake Wether è perfetta. Ha sposato la donna di cui è sempre stato innamorato e adesso è padre di tre meravigliosi bambini. I Mighty Storm vanno forte e la casa discografica è fiorente. Jake ha letteralmente tutto: la vita che non ha mai nemmeno osato sperare di avere, perché temeva di non meritarla. In effetti, ci sono stati molti momenti oscuri e la morte del suo migliore amico, Jonny Creed, ha rischiato di trascinarlo in una spirale di disperazione. Ma poi è arrivata Tru e ogni cosa è cambiata. Quello che Jake non sa è che il passato ha strani modi di ripresentarsi. E la sfida che i suoi demoni stanno per riportare alla luce potrebbe essere la più difficile che abbia mai dovuto affrontare.

4.5 stars!
Jake and Tru are one of those couples that are truly meant to be. Their story is unforgettable. I’ll never forget reading TMS and the way it made me feel. When I heard we were getting more Jake and Tru in the form of this novella, I was ecstatic! Jake, Tru, the rest of the band… seriously, I couldn’t wait! Then I started reading, and I got a bit nervous. Jake and Tru’s life is as perfect for them as it can be. And the thought of it getting ripped apart hurt my heart.
As nervous as I was about this novella, I loved the direction it took. It had me in tears a few times, which I wasn’t expecting. I really enjoyed the way she went with this story. It could have went another way, but this way really worked. Jake and Tru are amazing people and even though they aren’t perfect, they’re perfect for one another. I love their bond, how they always have each others backs. Seeing them as parents was pretty great as well!
If you’re looking for an emotional, beautiful read with a bit of angst, and you’re a fan of The Mighty Storm series, this is one you won’t want to miss out on! Thanks Samantha for giving us MORE of our favorite characters!

HOLY FUCKING FUCK!!!!! What a fucking ride that was!
What the fuck can I say about this fucking book?!
Only that it fucking killed me but in a way that healed me so much.
I am a HUGE fan of this woman and these books.
They hold a very special place in my heart and I'm very protective of theses characters.
I remember I was visiting my friend from out of town and we was sitting on her sofa chatting away and I checked my Facebook and it was a video of Samantha Towle with some exciting news...
She was going to write a Jake Novella.
I SCREAMED THE FUCKING HOUSE DOWN and even sent my poor friends dog running behind the sofa.
I was over the fucking moon! I missed my Jake so much! I always miss him hence why I've read the books 6 fucking times and every fucking time it still effects me as much as the first time round.
Fast forward to well over a year later and building a friendship with this author, she sends me the first ever teaser for The Storm.
I fucking FREAKED OUT!!! I shouted at her because I thought she was going to fuck me over and do something to my Jake and Tru! I knew she would never destroy their relationship but it wouldn't be a Samantha Towle book unless she breaks your heart a little but she always mends it in the end.
I had all theses fucking thoughts going through my head. It was fucking draining!! I kept thinking what the fuck has my Jake done that's going to hurt Tru so much????
Now I'm going to just get this out there...
What ever you are thinking it's NOT IT.
All the thoughts going through your head trust me it's nothing what you think.
I have to really stress this because I know people are worried that Jake has cheated on Tru - AS FUCKING IF??!!! Jake would NEVER do anything like that to his June. NEVER!! Come on people it's Jake Fucking Wethers and Tru we are talking about here!
In case anyone didn't understand what I said above...
There is NO CHEATING in this book.
Zero.
BUT what actually does happen in this book will truly make you reach for the tissues! Fuck me I was a fucking mess!!!
I mean it's a fucking Novella! How can I feel so much reading a Novella???
Where Samantha took this story was anything I could ever imagine in my life. I didn't see ANYTHING coming. I was like WTF!!! Shut the front fucking door!!!
The reason why my casting features not only Jake and Tru but Tom, Denny and Jonny too is because it's as much as their book as it is Jake and Tru's.
I love when Jonny is mentioned in all the books because he is a big part of The Mighty Storm Family and although it breaks my heart because It pains Jake so much which therefore pains me when he is mentions, I feel his memory should go on.
I can't tell you what this is about. If I do it will give it away and it's meant to be shocking and a surprise for all of The Mighty Storm Fans.
You WILL be SHOCKED.
You WILL be HEARTBROKEN (not in the way you think!)
You WILL CRY!!!
Ugly cry!!
But you will also cry HAPPY TEARS!!
I promise you that Samantha will take you on such an incredible and beautiful emotional roller coaster that you will never want to get off of.
If you don't give this book a chance then you are missing out!!!
Get out of your comfort zone and READ IT!!
I promise, hand on my heart that you will not regret it.
This book was MOTHERFUCKING EPIC!!! And I never wanted it to end!
I loved seeing the whole gang together again and seeing them all settled with their families.
JAKE FUCKING WETHERS STILL OWNS MY VAGINA!!!
I would sit on that fuckers face and ride it into next week!!!
Fuck my tits I fucking LOVE HIM!!!!!!!
Best novella I've ever read and one of my favourite reads this year!!!
Fuck I loved it so hard!!!! I want to read it all over again!!!
Samantha Fucking Towle has done me proud!!!
Well done, doll. You fucking nailed it and I didn't threaten you will violence once!
The Storm will be out on 23rd December - Jakes Birthday.

4,5 Stormy Stars
Not only Jake and Tru are one of my favorite book couples ever, the Mighty Storm series is also one of those that I keep re-reading over and over again because I just can’t let go.
When I’ve heard a novella about them were being released this month, this little book automatically became one of my best Christmas presents.
In this small, but completely packed of emotions, novella we’ll see Jake and Tru face adversity one more time, and once again making us remember why we fall in love with them in the first place.
I still don’t understand how not so many pages can contain such a emotional roller coaster, I felt like crying, like smiling and laughing in just a matter of a few chapters. An amazing novella to complement the series.

Holy mother of god.. How do I begin to review this...
I'm keeping this short and sweet, I ADORED the storm books, seriously unputadownable for me. Intense love stories hit me good, and Tru and Jakes story did just that. Before I go on just know that THERE IS NO CHEATING ok, this is not a story about going back in time, it's not about broken hearts and opening old wounds. But more so about healing old wounds in the best way possible. If your worried about having a story re-kindling the mighty storm and are anxious because of that, then don't fret really this book is emotional but it's not heartbreaking in that sense.
One thing I loved about Jake and Tru's story is that its about unity and family, it's about a band that supports each other and become a family because they are there and care for each other. Yet we know Jonny is know longer with us in those books but very much in the midst of the development of it all. Jake and Jonny are best friends and although he's not alive and wasn't from get go he is very much in the midst of the whole series, and this is no different, I loved that, I love that I get to miss him too if that makes sense. He is very much alive in there lives and that's all that matters right?.
I'm not going any further but saying it is emotional this but it was a book about healing, about LOVE, and friendship, loyalties, and moving forward. I suppose it's a story about endings if that makes sense...
If you have read this series and loved Jake and Tru's journey then this is most definitely a novella to read. It was the Icing on the cake for me....
Love and hugs Samantha really your a legend... THANKYOU for writing this... Xoxo
That. Is. All xx

Like a lot of people, I've been a big Jake fan since the first book came out so, of course, I was thrilled to hear we were getting another book and from Jake's POV.
However, the book was nothing like I expected it to be. Naturally, there was the requisite drama although nothing as bad as that first bedroom scene - thank goodness. And it's a whole new story....no rehash just told from Jake's POV.
Actually, Jake and Tru are in a very good place and they have a beautiful family and while there is a certain focus on them, the main focus is a blast from the past. That's right...Jonny!
And I certainly wasn't expecting that but it was an interesting twist and definitely heart breaking!
But mainly, I loved how Jake and Tru handled things together...that was my favorite part.
And that last chapter? Just have your kleenex ready! :'(
Favorite quote:
♥ “Whatever happens, Jake, I’m right by your side. I’m always by your side.”

***3 Stars***
I'll get right to the point. Was this enjoyable? Yes(ish). Is this a story that needed to be told? No.
There's no way that I can talk about this novella without spoiling anything, so I'll split this quick review into two parts: no spoiler and spoiler.
No spoiler:
If you're wondering if Samantha Towle went in and messed up Jake and Tru's HEA, the simple answer is NO. Not even a little bit. She just further cemented that this couple is rock solid. They are capable of handling anything as long as they're together.
And it reaffirmed my love for Jake. The guy's got a way with the swoony declarations of love.
"Nothing in this life is a surety, Jake."
"The way I feel about you is. I've loved you my whole life, Tru. There hasn't been a single second in it when I haven't loved you, and I'll continue to love you until my fucking black soul is dragged from this earth, kicking and screaming to hell. Then, I'll continue to love you from there."
So rest assured, there is absolutely no unnecessary relationship drama here.
For those who want to be spoiled...BIG SPOILERS BELOW:
---------------------------------------------
Thoughts before reading:
Initially I was really excited about more Jake (Hello! More Jake the Snake? Hell Yes!), but after reading the blurb, I'm really hoping this doesn't end up being a bunch of contrived drama. Tru and Jake have their HEA, and I really don't want Samantha Towle to go in there and fuck things up for the sake of book sales.
I think I'll let others take one for the team and wait for reviews before I spend money on a book that has the potential to piss me off.

5 JAKE STARS
I can’t say too much as you really need to experience this for yourself. If you’re a die-hard Jake Wethers fan, and you know who you are, you`ll LOVE this! Jake just gets better with age.
And Tru and Jake are stronger than ever and Jake`s love for her is just perfection!
"...the first, last and only woman I will ever love, Tru."
When I heard Samantha was giving us this gift, I was worried because I didn't want anything to mess with Tru and Jake. But I must say, this novella was needed. I didn't realize it but something was missing and this short, moving and special tale makes this great series even better.
This gutted me but also had my heart warming for Jake, Tru, Tom and Denny.
It was totally awesome to visit with Jake, Tru and the band, and see where they're now. But it was not nearly enough. I didn't want it to end.

As soon as Samantha announced she was releasing The Storm I was all over wanting to read this one. However, I never anticipated all the feels wrapped up in such a little package!
Storm made me laugh, cry and fall even more in love with these characters. This is such a tough review to write without any spoilers and this is definitely a story you don’t want spoiled. I can tell you that while I never would have anticipated this read, after reading it I can’t imagine The Mighty Storm world without it.
Catching up with these characters just reminds you how much you love them and seeing their lives now put a huge smile on my face. I love that Samantha reopened up this world and provided us with a unique story and allowed us to spend more time with Jake, Tru, Tom and Denny.
Fans of this series will absolutely love The Storm! I highly recommend jumping into this one, you won't be disappointed!

Keeping it short and sweet...It is Jake Whethers....enough said! Jake and Tru have been through it all and they have their HEA. This, for me, was an epilogue...a bump in the road that led to an even better future. I started thinking this was going to break my heart, and yes, while I did cry it was not over a perfect love harmed, but for the new discoveries from the past that brought the Mighty Storm full circle! Still one of my all time fave rock-star romance reads, now with just a little bit more closure!

I don't know what it is about the lads from the Mighty Storm, but whenever Samantha Towle puts pen to paper and writes about her boys (whether it be Jake, Tom, Denny or Jonny ), she creates something special, something almost magical. There's this depth, this emotional attachment you can't help but feel right down to your very soul and there are not many authors who can pull that off and pull it off so darn well. This series and the characters are like family to me now and whenever we get a new book, it's like coming home, that warmth spreading from my head down to my toes, the smile growing ever bigger as I'm greeted by those I've grown to know and love over the last couple of years. And the minute I turned the first page of "The Storm," I felt it...that familiarity... that comfort as Jake, Tru and the gang welcomed me into another chapter of their lives.
Despite what you might think, "The Storm" wasn't just a book about Jake, Tru and their ongoing journey although they did feature heavily. It was a book about all the boys from "The Mighty Storm" and as we were given insights into the best and the worst of the band as a group and as individuals, we saw the past and the present collide. It was inevitable with the boys. Just as they had all found their HEA, just as they had all settled into domestic bliss (yes you read right!!!) there was always something or someone just waiting in the shadows, getting ready to rain on their parade but this time it wasn't just a bit of rain. This time it was the mother of all downpours and I wondered whether any of them would go unscathed.
Another amazing addition to "The Storm" series that really did tie up all the loose ends for the band. I can't believe it's over... is it? I can think of quite a few characters who deserve books of their own, don't you think Samantha Towle?????
Hands down, "The Storm" gets ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

"Nothing in this life is a surety, Jake."This novella blew my mind. It was just .. wow and exceeded all of my expectations and then some. It's hard to go into any detail without spoiling it but "The Storm" really was something else. In fact I'm not sure how Samantha Towle did it? How did she get me feeling so much in so few pages? How did she manage to give me such a fantastic yet unexpected story that took my breath away in a novella? This book had it all. I swooned, I went weak at the knees, I got a little hot and bothered with the naughty stuff, I grinned like a cheshire cat, I laughed until my sides hurt but then I sobbed my heart out as the rug was pulled from right under me.. yup, have your tissues ready peeps because when it comes to Jake and The Mighty Storm, we all know it's never going to be plain sailing.

"How do I tell her this?"
"Gently. You tell her gently, Jake."
"This is gonna hurt her- badly."

"You taste like the past," she murmurs against my lips. I don't know if that's a good think or a bad thing, and right now, I'm afraid to ask.

5***** The Storm was fantastic I loved catching up with Jake and Tru. Jake Wethers is my no1 Rock star so this was a bonus for me.
This was 50/50 for me 50% of it made me so happy I laughed when reading the family time with Jake, Tru and the kids so funny I love little Belle.
The other 50% broke my heart I cried, so heartbreaking what happened even though it so sad it brought a missing piece back into the band's life.
The bonus chapter OMG I'm glad I waited until after Christmas to read this though as I said I was crying and that does not happen often and who wants to cry at Christmas.

5 "Of course because it's Jake" Stars!
So this is easy. My top book boyfriend who I'll love forever and ever for his naughtiness, his panty melting sexiness, his possessiveness, and his big heart is back with a little story in his POV - um yeah...I'm going to LOVE IT! For a quick minute, I was a bit worried that one of my favorite couple would forever be changed and not for the better but that was not the case at all. If anything this quick glimpse into the lives of Jake and Tru just shows what a great and strong unit they are! Anytime I've read about Jake and Tru it's with excitement and anxious energy and that's still the case.
I've gushed plenty about Jake and I've gushed plenty about Samantha Towle - and so here I am and nothing has changed - Jake continues to be one of the loves of my book life and Samantha Towle continues to hold my high regard! So it comes as no surprise that I would love more Jake and Tru books. I can read about them forever.
Standing in the doorway, I watch her...the first, last and only woman I will ever love. Tru. And my heart fucking breaks at the sight. It breaks because I know I'm about to break hers.

A beautiful novella about Tru and Jake Weathers, their life, their family, their extended family and a big surprise that takes everyone by surprise. A surprise that will shake their core and test their love and their commitment to one another.
It's told in Jake's POV and getting in his head and reading his thoughts is wonderful. If you are a fan of Jake and Tru, then this is a great "little extra" that Samantha Towle gave to her "Jake and Tru- True Fans". You will love minute of every word!!!
So much that when you finish, you will say.........

The final novella is written in Jake Wethers' point view and I finished it in one sitting. It's lovely to see all the characters in this series got their happy ending. Can we just talk about how adorable Belle is? I swear she's so cute and funny! I laughed so hard because of her. Lastly, that bonus chapter in the end shattered my heart. 😭💔 I'm going to miss these characters.

4 - "Hindsight - it's a motherfucker, ain't it?" Stars!
I am always a little sceptical when an author revisits a couple that we previously left living their happily ever after. I have no issue if a novella adds something to the overall series or story, but more and more recently a lot of these types of books seem to be financially motivated more than anything.
Sam has 'added value' to Jake and Tru's story, although to be honest this isn't a story that hugely focuses on them... To understand why, you need to read it, and for me it was a worthwhile use of an hour or so of my time.

“Hindsight— it’s a motherfucker, ain’t it?”
SO happy to read this gem of a story! I remembered why Jake and Tru and The Mighty Storm are among my favorite characters. Emotional, witty and sexy, The Storm is a must-read for fans of The Mighty Storm series.
I absolutely LOVE when my favorite characters are brought back for a little "something more." If done well, I can't get enough. And Samantha Towle has written a perfect novella that captures the essence of Jake, Tru and The Mighty Storm. There are no "fillers" here, only genuine emotion, a great story, some drama and fantastic conclusion to the story of The Might Storm.
There is a huge twist to this story that is completely unexpected and perfect for Jake and Tru. If you have a few hours, I highly recommend this story. This book cements my love for Jake as one of my all-time favorite book boyfriends. There is a depth to this novella that for me, was a pleasant surprise. Don't miss this wonderful addition to The Mighty Storm series.

It's different from what I thought it would be . Does that even made sense? :) I was expecting a somewhat extended epilogue. But it was still a great read.And so a thought occured, I hope the children will have their own books. :Dxx

Hace años que lei esta serie, pero cuando descubri esta pequeña novela no me pude resistir a leerla, al haber pasado tanto tiempo no recordaba demasiado de la historia de Tru y Jake, pero si me acuerdo de que me hizo pasar un rato entretenido.
Este libro es corto y se lee en nada de tiempo pero en algunas ocasiones pense que era bastante innecesario, no aporta nada a la historia, honestamente si lo lei es porque tenia tan pocas paginas que era ideal para este momento en el que me apetecia leer algo breve.
El final no fue de mi agrado, senti que fue un poco brusco, ademas me hizo desear que Jonny hubiera tenido otro destino.
En fin, una lectura perfecta para los seguidores de esta saga.
2.5 Estrellas!

I'm not going to lie, I begged Samantha for this book early and then I forgot to even review it!! I'm sorry!
I also had to promise to not call Tom a dick again...sigh
It was worth it ;)
I love getting a peek into the future of one of my fav couples, Tru and Jake. It made me want to re-read all over again.
There was a bit of angst to this one but it was well done. I can handle angst when my couple isn't messed with.
Over all a great little novella, with a little heart break, a little steam, and a lot of love.

Wow, whan an emotional read! I never knew a novell could have such depth, but since we are talking about Samantha's book, that shouldn't come off as a surprise.From the wonderful start to the bitter sad end, this book is an emotional roller coaster. And I loved it!!!
It all starts with Jake finding out a secret that could ruin everything he's worked so hard for. His family could be torn up and what's even worse, he could lose his blissful life with Tru. In times like those, the couple either makes it or breaks it. Times looked grim but at the end of the day they still stood stronger than ever and not even something like that could break them apart.
For those of you who wonder what the big secret is, don't worry, there is definitely no cheating or anything like that involved. Jake's love for his Tru is shown pretty clear in his actions, words and thoughts. He wouldn't ever dream of doing something that could endanger what he has with her. He simply put needs her too much. And as for Tru, she feels the same about him. I loved how she never gave up on him and stood by his side till the very end. They are truly the perfect couple.
It was great to see all the characters from the past and how their lives unfolded. I'm kinda sad that we won't be seeing more from them in the future and that their journeys have come to an end, but what an end it is. The ending in Jonny's POV was so heartbreakingly beautiful and just what this book needed. A truly wonderful way to close their stories.

I didn't know I needed this story until now.
If you already read it you know what I mean. If you haven't read it, What Are you waiting for?
Everything was perfect and of course the story was about something totally unexpected, but we needed it!
Amazing, beautiful and unforgettable!

This was a truly enjoyable short read.
Jake and Tru with their three kids what a wonderful perfect family. When kids have their say in a story it brings it all to life more. So funny especially the Goldfish moment.
I liked getting the last moments from Johnny and getting to know Storm a bit.
Everything came together nicely.
This was one of those feel good books although a little sad it leaves a warm fuzzy feel and a smile on my face.
Really loved all these guys in all The Storm series.

For a novella, The Storm packed a huge punch! The emotions that Jake and his POV evoked from me brought happy and sad tears. The Storm is set in the future. Everything is going well for Jake and Tru. They're happily married with three children and each are still successful in their own right. When a phone call comes upon Jake, everything will change. Secrets will come out and all lives will be affected. It's a secret that Jake will have to deal with but with Tru always at his side, Jake, family and friends get a surprise of a lifetime.
That bonus chapter. That fucking bonus fucking chapter did me fucking in. I didn't know what it was about and then when I saw it, I knew it was going to tug at my heart strings. I couldn't even with Ms. Towle with that bonus chapter. After I finished reading The Storm, it brought back moments when I first fell in love with Ms. Towle's writing. I love that she revisited Jake and his snake(I wish there was an amusement park about his snake) and I really(to the millionth power) that she continues with this series. Not so much Jake and The Mighty Storm but with new characters.

I love all THE STORM books. Not this. IMO, very unemotional.I didn't care for Johnny in the previous books, so I didn't care for his story now. I'm giving this 2.5 stars for Jake and Tru, otherwise, just 1

OMG, when I saw that Jake Wethers was back, I just couldn't wait. To say that I was not disappointed is an understatement, I loved every minute of this story, told in Jake's POV, and read it in one sitting.
The Storm takes place several years after the end of Wethering the Storm. Jake and Tru have three kids, JJ, Billy and the adorable 3 years old Belle. Jake's life is perfect, his family is everything to him, his band is still going strong and he manages his own label. But then he receives a call that will force him to face events from his and Jonny's past.
This novella has all the feels, I laughed and I cried. The ending was incredibly emotional. Truly, Samantha Towle has given her readers a beautiful, heartfelt conclusion to an amazing rockstar romance trilogy.

I'm so happy that "The Storm" was such an amazing experience!!! I was hooked from the beginning. I did not put it down. This novella had all my emotions going. I did get misty eye several times. I couldn't help it! I really enjoyed Jonny's chapter. That added a sprinkle of sugar for his character. Over all this was another home run from Samantha Towle! Jake is definitely one of my top Book boyfriends!!! He is the full package. I'm hoping that in the future there will be more from the mighty storm guys. I see potential!!!
