Synopsis

Is it reckless for a master’s student to blur the lines with her hot, older professor—a legendary storm chaser?

Without a doubt.

But when a tornado strikes during Finley and Professor West’s first chase together, something far more dangerous than the storm pulls them in. Boundaries shatter, and so do their reservations.

Now, as they tear across Oklahoma with his famous storm chasing team, he’s adamant: they crossed a line that should never have been crossed. He’s her professor, and she’s his student—nothing more.

But with every storm they face, they’re drawn deeper into a whirlwind that threatens to consume them both.

Can they remain professional?

Or will the storms consume them?

My Thoughts

When I see Kayla Grosse is going to be releasing a new book I can’t help but get excited.  If you don’t know her books you should.  She writes strong FMC who don’t fit the world’s normal beauty standards as the characters she writes are plus-size. But instead of writing them like they feel that they need to change they are confident and get what they want.  Finley the female lead in Whirlwind is just like that and was such a joy to read.

Whirlwind is a book for all those people who like to watch storm chasers and enjoy the Twister movies.  I have to say the characters reminded me a lot of the original movie cast.  That is so great because that cast of all different people and walks of life blended so well and became a family they made and put together.  Sometimes those families are the best.

I know the main characters Ryker & Finley are great, but the secondary character Joey was so great.  He made me laugh almost every time he was on the page.  And of course, every ship needs a captain and he is the captain of the ship for Ryker & Finley.  I also have to say there is something he said that has stuck with me:

But if you don’t chase the storm, you’ll never know if you’ll catch it or not.

That quote could be used with anything in life not just relationships.

From action to great characters, Whirlwind will be a book you can’t put down.  Whirlwind makes Kayla Grosse the Tessa Bailey in Storm Chasing romance books.  This story alone was great and the spice that was added was great to add another element to the story.

Whirlwind is a 4 ½ star read and I can’t recommend this book enough.  The spice level is a solid 3 chili peppers.  Whirlwind is available where you get your books.  And if you are a Kindle Unlimited Member Whrilswind is included in your membership.

**I would like to thank Kayla Grosse for the ARC Copy of this book. Getting the ARC Copy did not influence my thoughts on the book as they are all my own**
