Storm by H.J. Welch
4.0
This is the second book of the collection Men of Hidden Creek I read, and although the stories are standalone stories, I would recommend to read this story after reading Score by A. E. Wasp because Hunter is a Marine buddy of Score’s Connor, there is a intersecting moment between the two stories involving the two of them and the storyline linked to the common villain character in Connor’s and Chases’s family life finds its conclusion in Storm.
Storm is a well written story with very likeable characters. I loved little Lyla and three legged puppy Tropper. Hunter is the typical all American hero, former Navy and Marine doc, suffering light PTSD, but much more balanced and emotionally strong compared to Chase. I was a little bit surprised about the rather smooth acceptance by Hunter of his newly discovered homosexuality, but this was just another sign of his very strong self acceptance compared to the constant insecurities shown by Chase.
I have taken notes of some side characters appearing or mentioned throughout the book, who may be linked to the other books of the collection. Reading these books is like going on a treasure hunt, trying to pick up connections between the characters, just like you would do if living in a small town like Hidden Creek. And this is surely due to the great writing and cooperation work of the authors. Now I’ll read Shield by Max Hawthorn, just because Fox and Axel are mentioned in the Epilogue of Storm.
