4.5 Stars! I've not always been a reader of high angst, intensely emotional books. Since I found Emery Rose, though, I've come to appreciate the roller coaster and how completely I fall into her books.
Summary:
Shiloh Leroux had one goal in visiting Cypress Springs, Texas. Taking a break during a major world tour isn’t the easiest thing to accomplish, but Shiloh was determined to ease her guilt. The guilt she carried from the time she was a naive eighteen year old with not a penny to her name and no hint of that changing any time soon. Brody McCallister was supposed to be her ticket in to do what she needed to do. That’s all. But destiny sometimes has other plans. The instant she meets the charming cowboy with the lazy grin and dirty mouth, she knows she’s in trouble. How could she resist the man with a gift for healing broken and wild things? Her damaged soul can’t. But Shiloh and Brody are from different worlds. What can they build when his life is in Texas, and hers is on the road living her dream of being a rockstar? They soon learn that the obstacles aren’t insurmountable, and they’re both worth fighting for. Unfortunately for Brody and Shy, a storm is lurking, threatening to reveal secrets. When it hits, will it leave the rubble of a burgeoning relationship in its wake or do Brody and Shy have the strength to rebuild what was meant to be?
Emery Rose never fails to drag me into her stories within the first few sentences, and doesn't let me up until I read the last word. Her books take me on a journey that breaks me down then builds me back up. When the Storm Breaks, just as with book one, had my emotions rocketing up and down throughout the book. Both Brody and Shiloh traveled difficult paths to get where they were, and the obstacles didn’t lesson after they found each other. I had mixed feelings about Shiloh. She was strong, caring, and majorly talented. I loved that even though she was successful, she didn’t forget where she came from. It changed her, but not in bad ways, and she stayed down-to-Earth. Brody was a mystery I couldn’t help but unravel. We saw how damaged he was by his past and what he did to cope in When the Stars Fall. I had an inkling of what might have happened, but it didn’t help to soften the blow when we got the full story. Brody was a survivor. Despite all he went through in his young life, he was protective, possessive, successful, and loved hard in his own way. I also really loved how Brody was with Ridge and the way he stood up to Patrick. As a couple, Brody and Shiloh were an unlikely pair. They belonged to vastly different worlds, but that almost made the romance even more sweet. I loved that their connection was immediate, and maintained a low hum of electricity that exploded into some pretty steamy scenes. Overall, WTSB held my attention from beginning to end. I loved catching up with Jude and Lila and the rest of the McCallisters. I’m really looking forward to getting Jesse’s story, but Gideon is not high on my list. I just don’t see where he’d do anything for family. The storyline was a good one. I really enjoyed learning how these two very different worlds came together. I did have a few issues, though. Shiloh got smart about Dean, but continued to ignore Landry’s role in everything. That irritated and confused me. She had more than enough proof of just the type of person Landry was. And I loved Brody, but I was hoping to see a bit more resolution in the relationships he had with those around him. I was disappointed that he and Jude could never be the same. It truly seemed like Jude had moved past what happened, but Brody still condemned him for his mistakes. I also would have liked to see Brody get some sort of vindication from all the people who looked down on him just because he couldn’t choose his parents. In the grand scheme of things, these issues didn’t stop me from devouring this book. I do feel that Brody and Shiloh’s story was less angsty than Jude and Lila’s, but not by much. I love it when a book can make me feel everything as if I’m right there in the thick of things. I think my laughter, soft smiles, anger, and tears are more than enough proof that I loved it. I can’t wait to find out who is next up for this family, but I know it’ll be another hit. ♡

About the author
You will love Brody!!!
Wow!!! This book was absolutely amazing!! Emery did it again with a wonderful story that you can't put down!! These characters will consume you and keep you locked into their world. I loved Brody since WTSF and I love him even more now! Brody is all that you want in a male character, from the attitude to the confidence... Shiloh is such a great match for the cowboy that doesn't want to settle down!! I love their connection and the way they could understand eachother. The love that these two share is undeniable and you can see the chemistry as soon as they meet. The struggles that they go through and overcome make that connection that much stronger.. I love it when the cowboy gets his HEA!! The bonus to the book is you get to see all the Mccallisters that you meet in WTSF!! I can't wait for more from this world!!!
