Tornado Ally by Lainey Ross

One tornado. Two lives changed forever.

Ally had everything in life. A good job, some land with a little house on it, a flock of chickens, and one very spoiled cat. What more could she ask for? Everything was almost perfect. She just wished she had someone to share it all with. Someone that wasn’t a pretentious cowboy.

Jack’s job demanded everything from him, and then some. His life was filled to the brim with work and stress, but his tank was running on empty. His dad told him it took six figures to get and keep a woman, and he was far from that. What was even the point? Life as he knew it seemed so…impossible.

When a storm strikes in the night, Jack is forced off the road to find protection in Ally’s storm shelter. But when the tornado passes, things don’t go as planned.

Can two strangers from different worlds survive being trapped in a tornado shelter together?

My Review

I saw this book in a Facebook ad and it looked like a cute read. Add weather, a disaster element, and a sweet romance and I’m immediately interested.

Ally is a cat mom and farmer’s assistant living in a rural small town. I loved the descriptions of the town, the little shops, and the community feel. It really gives cozy country vibes.

Jack works in the corporate world and is completely burned out. He’s stressed, anxious, and tired of the life he’s been living.

The tornado shows up early in the story and changes everything. The experience pushes both of them into a new perspective. Maybe they trauma bond a little, but it also brings them comfort and happiness. Of course he eventually has to return home, and that reality hangs over the story.

I liked that both characters are midlife and figuring things out again. Jack goes from workaholic burnout to slowing down and appreciating the country lifestyle and falling for Ally. Meanwhile Ally realizes how much she misses him once he leaves.

The story wraps up sweet with the city boy choosing the country life.
