Publisher's Summary

A mile wide and with winds rising over 200 miles per hour, the EF-5 tornado that laid waste to Joplin, Missouri, took everything from Dale Kinsel. Already struggling to get through the months after the death of her partner Sydney, Dale doesn't believe she can find the strength to dig through the rubble.

The last thing she needs is Sydney's sister, Taren, crossing her path again. There is nothing but bad blood between them and Taren's help doesn't change that. Surrounded by a broken landscape, Dale has little hope of reclaiming even the simple pleasures. But life—and love—have a way of starting over.

Contains mature themes.

Good overall:)

AC nails in as usual. Love her voice and style of narration.
The story was good and actually made me go and research the tornado that hit Joplin. KW descriptions are steeped in reality. Reading then seeing the devastation caused to the suburbs and also the Home Depot was stark, and made me appreciate KW's story. Although, I felt many of the characters surrounding Dale and her loss were very unempathetic and inconsiderate, which frustrated me to bits. The MC's were well written and mostly likeable, although, I didn't feel the journey from like to love very clearly...it seemed to happen very quickly. I prefer not to read books with butch or more masculine female leads as they don't appeal to me, as such Dale sounded like a desperate, oversexed jock to me at times, which put me off a little, but overall (and due to AC's narration) she was endearing and likeable. It was difficult to decipher masculine/feminine traits from the sample audio and thought I may not enjoy the story once I realised how the charcter was developing. This was not the case.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
