It\u2019s a gorgeously emotional read, and I loved it!<\/p>\n<p>Storm Slater is the son of Johnny Creed, lead singer of The Mighty Storm, who tragically died too young. Storm never got to meet Johnny, but he is the lead guitarist in his own band, living the cliched wild life of a rockstar, and is constantly compared to his famous father. It\u2019s a lot to deal with, and when a revelation from his past sends him spiraling, he snaps and needs to escape his life for a while. Jumping in his car, he just drives, until he ends up in a small town in Arizona, and straight into the life of Stevie Cavalli.<\/p>\n<p>Stevie is a small-town girl who runs her family\u2019s bed and breakfast. Her father and brother own the local garage, and she gets called in to rescue Storm when his car breaks down on the side of the road. Being a proud fan of all things 80s she has no clue who Storm is when she sees him, which appeals to him, but it\u2019s her confident, lively nature that really draws him in, and when it turns out his car needs some significant repair, he is not the least bit upset about having to hang around town for a while.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a great set-up, and so much fun as Storm and Stevie banter back and forth. They have an easy, friendly dynamic that is so entertaining, and they almost create their own little world together \u2013 one where Storm is free to be himself without the pressure of celebrity. Their fast friendship very quickly changes to attraction and real feelings, and they find themselves falling hard and fast. It\u2019s sweet, romantic and sexy, and these two are just perfect together!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever get close enough to Stevie. I want to be inside of her in every way that matters. Inside of her the way she\u2019s inside me. She\u2019s under my skin. It\u2019s crazy. I\u2019ve never felt the way I do with her or about her ever before.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But Storm\u2019s life is back in LA, and he has commitments and a band to get back to. Neither of them wants to leave the other, but they both knew their ending was coming. Will they actually be able to let go?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cWhen I started driving that day, I thought I was running away from all the stuff I deal with,\u201d he says quietly to me. \u201cTurns out, I knew jack shit. I was driving straight to you, Stevie.&#8221;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I love these characters so much! Storm is a sweetheart with a mostly happy life with a great family and friends, but he has vulnerabilities and is dealing with a bad situation. Watching him truly let go and just <i>be<\/i> for a while was gorgeous to see. And Stevie is just awesome. She\u2019s fun and feisty, she speaks her mind, and she\u2019s completely confident in who she is, while being completely relatable. These two are magic together, and I loved their story so much.<\/p>\n<p>Being a part of <i>The Storm<\/i> series, we get to catch up with the boys from The Mighty Storm, which I loved! Especially seeing Jake and Tru still so happy together, and their teenage children, and the relationship that Storm has with the guys. I also loved the introduction to Storm\u2019s band mates in Slater Raze, and would love to read more about this wildly playful bunch!<\/p>\n<p>I loved this book. It\u2019s sweet, sexy and fun with a beautiful love story and a gorgeously emotional journey for Storm as he finds his place and his people, and gets the happy ending he so deserves.<\/p>\n<p>4.5 stars!<\/p>\n<p>The audiobook is narrated by Jacob Morgan (Zachary Webber) and Elena Wolfe (Andie Arndt), and it\u2019s a fantastic one to listen to! Arndt gives Stevie just enough quirkiness and Morgan is a dream as Storm, bringing just the right amount of emotion to this rock and roll badass.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The
