Hi all, Alicia here! I am sooooo excited to be a part of the Release Day Blitz for The Storm by Samantha Towle. I am a huuuge fan of The Mighty Storm (the first book in the series), as well as her other books. If you’re looking for a rock star romance, look no further than this series! I’m going to go read my copy now *bites nails*. Enjoy!

Happy Release Day to Samantha Towle and her new novella – The Storm! We are so excited to share more Jake and Tru with you! Enter the giveaway below for a chance to win a signed paperback of this book or an Amazon Gift Card (open international). Good luck!
STORM (noun)—a turbulent disturbance; a disruption or dispute.
Jake Wethers’s life is perfect. He’s married to the woman he’s always loved, and they have three beautiful children. The Mighty Storm is still going strong, and his record label is thriving.
Jake has everything—a life he thought he would never have and one that he didn’t think he deserved.
Not so long ago, Jake’s life wasn’t perfect. The unexpected and untimely death of his best friend, Jonny Creed, sent an already out-of-control Jake spiraling down further.
Drug addiction. Alcohol. Women.
Jake was in the fast lane to following Jonny to the grave until Tru Bennett walked back into his life and changed everything.
But now, the past that Jake left behind has come back to find him. And what the past brings with it is going to be one of the biggest challenges he has ever faced.
I’m just mid piss when I hear my baby
girl’s sleepy voice from behind me, “Dada, why I not have a peenis?”

“Okay, Beauty, how about this?” I
say in a pacifying tone, holding in my laughter. I tuck myself back into my
pajama pants and go to wash my hands. “Why don’t you ask Santa for a penis for
Christmas?” The second that I’ve said it, I know that it sounds all kinds of
wrong. It’s so wrong that I wish to God I could take it back.
