Whirlwind

By: Kayla Grosse

Narrated by: Victoria Connolly, Grayson Owens, Robb Moreira

Is it reckless for a master’s student to blur the lines with her hot, older professor—a legendary storm chaser?

Without a doubt.

But when a tornado strikes during Finley and Professor West’s first chase together, something far more dangerous than the storm pulls them in. Boundaries shatter, and so do their reservations.

Now, as they tear across Oklahoma with his famous storm chasing team, he’s adamant: they crossed a line that should never have been crossed. He’s her professor, and she’s his student—nothing more.

But with every storm they face, they’re drawn deeper into a whirlwind that threatens to consume them both.

Can they remain professional?

Or will the storms consume them?

TORNADO DADDY

This was so much fun!!!! 5 fantastic stars ⭐️! The audible was amazing, I LOVED Joey! He was so hyped and kept everyone in stitches! Grayson Owens has melted my panties with his voice on this one, oh man, the way he call Finley baby… 🥵😮‍💨 hawwwtt!!

This was such an exciting book, I had so much fun reading/listening to it! It reminded me a lot of twisters which I loved! I have always been fascinated with tornados 🌪️. Once when I was young me and my family were on 175 in Crandall Texas when a tornado was right on the side of the highway! We had to pull over for it to pass us, and it was the craziest thing I ever saw! It was wild! Then Twister came out and I was obsessed!

Kayla did her research and this felt so real, also, with the audible there are sound effects which just made it so much wilder! I loved it!

I kinda hope there’s a sequel to this one, maybe about Ezra?!? That way I can keep tabs on my sweet Ryker and Finley! Also JOEY!!! Freaking Tornado Daddy had me crying! I was cackling this whole book, I’m also going to need one of those shirts with Rykers face on it! Haha

Tornado Daddy

After having your heart ripped out by Suzanne Collins, a girl needs a pick me up, this book was that pick me up.

Finely Buckley loves nothing more than a good storm chase. She’s a master’s student, and storm photographer. Ryker West is not only one of the hottest storms chasers around, but also her older professor.

The relationship between Ryker and Finely has been blurring for quite sometime. But, when their first storm chase together goes wrong in every which way, it is the reason that they finally cross that line. Now, they are stuck together on a research trip with his entire team, wondering if they made a mistake, or is this everything they have ever wanted.

As a girl who grew up loving Twister, this fed into that fandom. It was just the kind of short romance that I truly needed. I really enjoyed this audiobook and had a lot of fun with it.

I can always count on Kayla for a pick me up. Her books are always fun and somehow making you feel good. Whirlwind’s side character Joey was probably one of the greatest parts of this book. By the end, I wanted to buy a Tornado Daddy t-shirt.

So Fantastic!

I love me some Grayson Owens & Victoria Connolly, but you put them in duet & in a Kayla Grosse story?! FRIKKIN FANTASTIC! They’re perfect as Ryker & Finley, & I absolutely loved this performance! The little sound effects throughout were also a great detail. They weren’t overwhelming & didn’t overshadow the audio at all, I thought they were great touches & made it an even more immersive reading experience!

PS: Rob Moreira is also great in this one!!

Story review below:

Kayla Grosse doesn’t miss! I enjoyed this one so much!

“Professor West” “Ms. Buckley” LAWWWWD🥵

We all know Kayla is queen when it comes to plus size FMCs, men who are obsessed with them, & spicy spice, but I was blown away (no pun intended 😂) by this one & the action! The storm & chase scenes were so good! I also learned a lot about storms through this one lol!

Finley was such a badass! I loved that she had multiple talents & was confident to pursue them. And storm chasing solo? You go girl! The dynamic between her & Ryker is delish, being forbidden & a nice age gap too😮‍💨 They are pretty angsty as well, with the back & forth on if they should pursue each other or not, & the pining on both parts.

They are hot hot hot when they do come together (maybe a little pun intended there 🙃), my kindle & AirPods were melting 🥵

Love a storm chaser!

This was sweet… age gap, professor/student, with a third act break up. I’m a sucker for an age gap!

Loved the duet style reading

Such a great listen! Funny, fun, exciting, and great spice! I really enjoyed the thrill of the storm chasing.

A true whirlwind romance!

This was such a fun listen. It had great spice but more importantly a great story! I started this book on a weekend where there was severe weather and it was the perfect accompaniment. If you loved the movie Twister and Twisters you’ll love this book!

So cuteee!

Super cute story! Ryker and Finn are adorable and spicy. Stormchasers who can’t seem to chase each other.

Joey is such a standout character and I wouldn’t mind a story with him and Hawke! ✨🥰

It was cute and cozy

If you like cozy, sweet, spicy contemporary romance, you’ll probably love this short little story

🌪️Tornado Daddy🌪️

This is my second listen of Kayla's books and it didn't disappoint. I loved all of the characters and the story. The story is based on one weekend of storm chasing but with a year ago prologue. Ryker might be my new book Daddy! He's in my age group with a dirty mouth. What's not to like!
Thank you, Kayla, for writing older & curvy MC's! ❤️

Excellent mix of UST, Spice, and Stormy Plot!

I adored this and am always looking for storm chasing goodness. This did not disappoint at all! Kayla did fantastic with getting it realistic with enough science that it felt real and then age gap, forbidden was delicious!
