Storm Chaser [Format Kindle]

Storm Chaser is a romantic comedy that will have you falling in love along with Chance and Allie. Chance Hamlin is a Trooper in the police department, and Allie Craine is a young looking adult woman that Chance mistakingly thinks is way too young to be out on her own, and in the middle of a tornado to boot. He "detains" her falsely, only because he doesn't believe that she is as old as she says she is. He doesn't believe her when she says that the RV is hers, and not stolen, and that she is a professional photographer.

Even when he finds out that she is who she says she is, he can't help but be suspicious. He asks his colleagues to go above and beyond to help him find out what he can about this young woman. He brings her to his mother's place (he lives in the apartment over the garage), where Allie meets his mother, Elsa and his little sister, Beth. Even Beth figures out that Allie is as old as what she says she is just by looking in Allie's eyes.

But, Chance has his reasons for being leary of Allie, even though he's falling for her fast--he just won't admit it. It never fails that disasters seem to follow her and he's not sure, but he thinks that she's hiding something. He vows to try to figure out what it is. And, just when Allie thinks that Chance is starting to fall for her too, he pulls away from her.

Allie, though, is feeling the need to settle down. She falls in love, not only with Chance, but with his family and everyone else in the town. When disasters strike a small town, everyone pitches in to help and everyone likes each other. That's something new to Allie, and she likes it.

Another character, Luther Magee, is following Allie everywhere she goes, and then he reports back to someone. Even though she does her best to make sure that she is keeping a low profile and not in the 'limelight', he always manages to find her.

Allie is keeping a secret, but it's only because she was brought up that way by her over-bearing father. His motto is to never show weakness. Chance also has secrets...secrets about why he acts the way he does and why he feels the way he does about photographers and people of the media.

I laughed and I cried, and yes, I could see myself falling in love with Chance (the big lug) and you will, too. This is an easy to read story of the love between two totally different people and the trust that is needed in every relationship. Secrets are revealed, roots are embedded, love and friendships made.

I highly recommend this book! I give it a Five Star Rating!

Mark Hunter has superbly crafted his novel, "Storm Chaser." It is an action-packed ride full of twists and turns in a sleepy, small mid-Western town. His characters are loveable, particularly the main two: Chance and Allie. These two people from very different worlds challenge each other; the more they fight against each other and themselves, the closer they are pushed together. Chance's risk-taking and Allie's secrets keep the novel ablaze, and the reader is unable to put down the book. The pace of the novel is perfect while the dialogue is creatively engaging. The humor keeps some levity throughout the adventures. "Storm Chaser" is like a rich, chocolate bar that can't be put down and must be savored. It is more than well worth the read!

Storm Chaser is a fun well-paced read. I loved following the romance of Chance and Allie, being interrupted by surprises along the way. It is obvious the author is knowledgable about weather patterns, and I loved the way he wove storms throughout the book. Storm Chaser is expertly written and the characters well-defined. I thoroughly enjoyed this read, and I'm sure I smiled all the way through the book.
