New Release+Review: Weather The Storm by L.K. Farlow
Shelly’s Review:
I have been not so patiently waiting for Simon and Magnolia’s book and it didn’t disappoint me one bit! Simon and Magnolia have been tap dancing around each other but are thrown together in an unconventional way. Once this happens we have the makings of a beautiful relationship. I loved the slow burn and build up between the two characters. Simon was so swoony and protective which I loved! Magnolia is very shy and reserved and when I found out the reason why my heart broke for her in a million pieces. I loved how Simon was able to get Magnolia to come out of her shell and build her confidence back up after it was destroyed. Did I mention how swoony and protective he was?? I have read all the books in this series and this one was a tough read but I loved the way the crew all banded together when it came to Magnolia. I have been a fan of Farlow since “Coming Up Roses” and her writing has only gotten better and she has definitely matured as a writer. I loved this story and series and every time I read I feel like I’m catching up with old friends. I never want this series to end and I can’t wait for the next book!
Excerpt:
I jolt awake, momentarily disoriented by the rhythmic beeping coming from my right. Beep. Beep. Beep. Again and again, the sound causes my temples to throb. Even though my eyes are still pinched closed, I know this is not my room, and I am not in my bed. Without warning, the events that led me here flash through my mind: hitting Simon’s truck and the subsequent ambulance ride. I remember the CT scan, and being given pain medication. I must have fallen asleep shortly after that.
I inhale deeply, trying to get my bearings, and cringe at the smell of antiseptic hanging in the air. God, I hate hospitals.
Slowly, I try to blink my eyes open, only to immediately close them again. Whimpering at the brightness of the room, I sink farther into the small, firm mattress before steeling my resolve to try again.
I peel one lid open and hold it, adjusting, before peeling the other open as well. “So bright,” I whine to myself, squinting up at the light above me. My head feels like an entire drumline has taken it as their practice space; the thrumming and pounding is incessant.
With all the strength I can muster, I roll my head to face the far wall of the small hospital room, only to startle at the sight of the most gorgeous man I’ve ever laid eyes on sleeping in the chair in the corner, his light-brown hair messy, his chiseled jaw covered in stubble. “S-Simon?” I whisper, more to myself than to him.
All the same, he jolts like someone took a live wire to his skin. “You’re up?” He lunges from the chair toward me, gently taking my hand in his, scanning my body before bringing his deep-blue eyes to mine. “Are you—fuck, you have no idea how happy I am to see those baby-blue eyes right now. Let me call for your doctor.”
He starts to withdraw his hand from mine, and I let out the most pathetic whimper, halting him. “Don’t go,” I beg.
“Not going anywhere. Just gonna hit the call button,” he assures me, leaving me feeling foolish, even though that wasn’t his intention.
