Kayla Grosse is one of the only authors that can make me laugh out loud while reading. Her books have a charm that I find is hard to replicate. Her FMCs take the fat, funny friend and lets her get her own love story. Whirlwind is fun, sexy, and full of well researched tornado chasing knowledge. I had such a great time reading about Finley, Ryker, and the whole storm chasing squad (I will die for Joey my bisexual king!!!).
This is a professor x masters student romance, which isn't my favorite trope. I liked that the romance was building off of an established yet forbidden friendship. It lets the audience see that while their attraction isn't new, it is something they haven't acted on before. I really enjoyed that Finley demands more from Ryker than being the woman he regrets due to the forbidden nature of their relationship. She makes her feelings known. I liked this one a lot!
Read this if you think kissing doesn't take away from a woman's character arc, if you've ever asked yourself how can tornados be sexier, want to dip your toe into forbidden romance, and fat women getting loved on.
