Blog Tour ~ Blown Away ~ by ~ Brenda Rothert

In a sensual, emotionally charged novel of love and loss, a tender affair gives two daring storm chasers the strength to overcome shattered dreams and the courage to build a future together.

Drew McGovern is living for two. Her fiancé, Colby, used to savor the feeling of a powerful gale, the rain pelting his face as the sky grew dark—until a shocking tragedy struck him down. Drew’s still grieving his death a year later when she bumps into some of his old storm chasing buddies. For reasons she can’t explain, she volunteers for the next tornado. But when she reconnects with Colby’s best friend, Aiden O’Neal, Drew gets a breath of fresh air that stirs the ashes of her broken heart.

Aiden doesn’t trust himself around Drew. He’s wanted this girl for a long time—long enough to remember the stab of jealousy he felt the first time he saw her in Colby’s arms, long enough to remember the tears that fell as they buried the man they each still miss. Now he’s trying his best to behave himself. But when the wind ruffles Drew’s hair and puts a sparkle in her eye, Aiden can’t resist the urge to hold her close. And when it comes to true love, he’s holding out hope that lightning strikes twice.

Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

Blown Away.  

Exactly what I was when I read this book.  I read it within a day because I couldn’t put it down!  Day job notwithstanding; I HAD to know how Drew (I love women named Drew) and Aiden’s story would turn out!

I am not one for extreme weather – I whimper at lightning – but I found the storm chasing phenomenon and information fascinating!  It’s not something I could do but the level of detail and information that was given by Murph about the storms and cells was just astounding!  And I am NOT a science person at all, but I learned some things in reading Blown Away.

Drew is a girly girl, working in a salon, doing girl things but after her fiance dies unexpectedly, she finds herself adrift.  Until she runs into her storm-chasing pal who extends an invite to come join the team on their next excursion.  Fast forward to the chase.  And Drew is “living” with Aiden, Murph, Millie and Tex.  Oh Tex.  He is a crack up.  You can’t not love Tex.  He has some fantastic one-liners in the book and I’d LOVE to see him have his own story.  Hint Hint.

5 stars!
