When the Storm Breaks: A Single Dad Cowboy/Rockstar Romance (Lost Stars)

When The Storm Breaks is book 2 of the Lost Stars series but can be read as a complete standalone.It's the epic journey of a love story between Shiloh Leroux and Brody McAllister. We meet Brody in When The Stars Fall and see him as a fun loving youngster and seemingly, easy going guy. But there was also always a bit of something brewing beneath the surface with him. And Emery completely unleashed him in WTSB. He's curt and brisk and somewhat rude. He doesn't have the time, energy or desire for games and drama. He's all man now. Hardened. A little rough around the edges. But he has a good heart and it's in the right place. He's a hot AF single dad to Noah. There were times when he had me swooning. He was complex and had a past that's not the easiest to overcome and it's a small miracle he turned out okay and to be such a hard worker and a good man/father. Also, quite the southern charmer.This was also one of those books where I'm not sure if I loved the hero or the heroine more. I have a MAJOR girl crush on Shiloh. Would love to be friends with that girl. She was strong, subtle, driven and kind. Brave and took no crap. Held her own but was still a good friend and grounded. Humble and loyal. She's made her fair share of mistakes over the years which just proves she's human. And she has her own rather tragic past to deal with but she was beautiful, even in the moments she allowed herself to be weak in. She was fun and entertaining.The chemistry between these two was INSANE when it finally broke pun intended). There was a push and pull between them for a while. Man, did they fight it. But together they were combustible, pure fire 🔥 They were funny and good friends with plenty of banter and cute moments. I loved their relationship. A very unique dynamic but still kept realistic. My pony boy and rockstar! 😍What can you expect from WTSB?✅ Swoony single dad✅ Tension✅ Sloooowwww burn 🔥✅ Country/small town vibes✅ Fabulous cast of characters✅ Heroine you'll adoreYou can always expect articulate writing from Rose. You can see the research has been done with how vivid and accurately she writes. You literally feel her bleed herself out onto the pages. I'm so insanely excited for the rest of this series. I just know it's going to be phenomenal. Jesse, Gideon, Ridge. The whole range! And I mean, just look at that cover! 😍💙Reviewed by Ali at Fallen For Books.

This author makes you fall in love with her characters waaaay to easily. Seriously there’s got to be some witchy voodoo going on 😂I really didn’t want to like Brody but darn it, he really is a lush cowboy. His relationship with Shiloh is so unlikely it’s basically laughable but they work! Honesty love these two together even if I did want to drop kick them a couple of times. I was hooked by the lady balls from the get go. You won’t be disappointed 💙

Brody oh Brody just wow. Shiloh you were dealt bad cards in your life and still you rose.However the pieces of your life were not complete until you met Brody. What a match the chemistry was off the charts., but as in life someone else wants to control Shiloh ,will this break the couple up or make them stronger. Really Really enjoyed this book

I new this one would be amazing sad in parts with a beautiful ending I tried to give book one a good review but couldn’t find the review pageBoth audible book are amazing

“I wondered if he felt the same as I did. Like we’d found our way home."What were the chances that a cowboy’s path would have crossed a rockstar’s on several occasions… One in a million.Emery Rose sure knows how to deliver an emotional, full of passion and heartbreakingly beautiful love story.I’ve been anxiously waiting for Brody’s story since I first met him in the first book, When The Stars Fall, and I couldn’t wait to learn more about him.Shiloh is a feisty, strong and tenacious rockstar, living her dream after going through a difficult childhood and a complicated past relationship.Brody,Brody,Brody!! I immediately fell head over heels in love with him. Reading about his past just broke my heart into a million pieces. This broody and sexy cowboy with a heart of gold and so much love to give. Who would have thought this grumpy cowboy could be so sweet, charming and romantic. Seriously, he had me swooning so many times. He’s also in incredible dad!Shiloh and Brody were both flawed, imperfect and their worlds could not be any more different, but together they made perfect sense. They both went through so much but they had ridden out the storm, had come out to the other side of it and found HOME in each other’s arms.I absolutely loved Shiloh and Brody’s story and I loved having glimpses of Jude and Lila’s life, I missed them!The McCallister family has become one of my favourites and I cannot wait to read the next one in the series.

"When is a gentle touch and patience required?".He turned his head,"When you're dealing with wild, broken things."'When the Storm Breaks' just confirmed that Emery Rose has a hit series on her hands, no doubt about it. 'Lost Stars' is going to continue to grow and be the must-read series of 2021. This is a story that will play on your heartstrings and continue to pull you under its spell. If you believe in one true love and soul mates you will be swept away by Shiloh and Brody's story. However, this book comes with a bit of a sting in its tail, a slightly broken cowboy, and a rockstar who is trying to come to terms with her past while trying to find the peace that she craves.Shiloh is in between a world tour when she takes 6 weeks of to go to Cypress Springs. Texas, she is on a mission and the one person she thinks can help her is Brody, only he doesn't even know Shiloh, but from the moment they meet it as if they were meant to be, but he is a horse rancher with a young son and Shiloh is only passing through. But would fate put them together only to tear them apart?.High Recommended.

When I read a book many times a song will pop into my head that relates to the story. Well this particular song stuck with me the whole read. It’s “Collide” by Howie Day. This song seem to perfectly sum up Shiloh and Brody. This is a story of two polar opposites who just shouldn’t be together. Yet somehow fate or destiny as you may call it steps in and these two individual collide. They don’t just collide they’re like two planets who crash into one another and create their own world. When they are together it’s like magnets that can’t be pulled apart. Their meeting was like it was deigned by the Gods. So unlikely yet so meant to be.Both have their secrets and a past they seem to be hiding from. Seriously, who doesn’t? Yet these two have off the charts chemistry. It’s like they can read each other’s mind.I really don’t want to get into the story because that is not fair to the author or you. Read the book enjoy the story for yourself. I will say their chemistry is lava hot! You’ll laugh, be swept off your feet, tear up, get angry, fall in love with one of the characters, Noah. If you don’t check your heart because you must be Grinch like. There’s also people that will make your skin crawl and some you heart will go out to. If you’ve read the first book in the series you’ll be happy to know you will be reacquainted with characters from the first book. Don’t worry though if you’ve haven’t read it you won’t be lost. In my opinion you will most likely go back and the first book because it’s so good!Not only did I enjoy the story it brought up some interesting questions to my mind. Questions like, do you believe in destiny, in higher level powers, does the past define us, how long do we spend do try to clear up our past, are we responsible for the sins of our father/mother, how long do we repent for the past, can you repent for the past, how long do we ponder over decisions that we make that can’t be changed, can we really change or are we deluding ourselves, can two polar opposites really make it happily together?I can’t wait to see what book the author writes next in this series. There’s so many to choose from. I have one in my mind but I’m not saying.After you read this book go look up the lyrics to “Collide” and see what I’m referring to. Even the best fall down sometimes Even the wrong words seem to rhyme Out of the doubt that fills your mind You finally find You and I collide..... Howie DayThat’s just one of the verses that fits this book.To the author I say thank you for such a heartfelt story. Yes I had tissues and a sigh when I closed the page!

Gee I loved this.I mean I have read books like this before…rockstar meets ordinary but this, this was just so pretty.It was rough around the edges.Bent but not broken.Sad but not defeated.Hopeful and loving.I feel like it could be written longer and longer. Following these two around for a few more years is something I could do.Thank you for creating these amazing characters Emery.

I don’t know how I feel about this book. I’m really struggling with female characters lately. Because I didn’t love Shiloh as much as I wanted to. I think once we got to the point that she was going to record with Dean, I felt like it was over for me. And over for her and Brody. Like… how she handled things really affected Brody, Noah and Ridge. And I would have liked to see her apologize to all 3.I’m surprised she never told Dean that Landry forced her to give up the baby. I think I also expected to see more from Dean in this toxic light. And we didn’t really get that.I definitely enjoyed this book. But there’s definitely some things missing. 😬😕 I’m really surprised that she still chooses music over Brody. I feel like she could have stopped her career and focused on the horse farms with Brody.

I have to agree with a previous review about Shiloh. This book is great don’t get me wrong. So please give it a chance. Her writing is beautiful. I absolutely love this author. And did enjoy this book. Go in blind, this purely my own opinion. But the way it ended…. I just. Maybe I wanted something more for Brody, or maybe this just didn’t hit me the same. It really shows he was always still looking down on himself and she did not help him with that. Like it looked in the beginning. Don’t get me wrong it’s not her responsibility to save him. But he worked hard, and at the first bad turn she turned her back on him, lost all faith, and the way she goes at him just is horrible. and blew up his life. And she barely makes up for this. It takes her so long to go to fix it, and she doesn’t even feel the need to fix it until she find out about her brother, which still didn’t really have anything to do with what she actually said. I just feel with how much he tries to be good, and a good dad, she was very selfish in so many moments. And I feel Noah got lost in the shuffle. I don’t think she makes his life better. I could feel the love, I just. It was, there were so many moments where you actually feel like you don’t want Shiloh to have Brody. I just I don’t know. If you are someone that doesn’t like it when people don’t actually own up to what they have done in the break up, like the redemption is a bit not fulfilling, and the single dad part importance good, crashing and not fully being fixed. I don’t. I liked the start, I just do, I felt Brody deserved more respect. He still was the one trying to fix the redemption and just accepts a barely there apology. She just gets away with it all. And I don’t get that.

Everything you want in a sweet friends to lovers story. Predictable, yes but still enjoyable.It was nice to finally see Brodie's HEA
