I know EXACTLY why you’re here š Looking for a storm chaser romance after watching the new Twisters movie starring Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones? I don’t blame you!
Kate Cooper is still shaken by a tornado tragedy from her past that continues to haunt her. But she gets pulled back into storm chasing by her friend and fellow survivor, Javi, to test an incredible new tornado tracking and data system. Enter Tyler Owens, a charismatic and daring social media darling who lives for live-streaming his storm chasing thrills. As storm season heats up, Kate, Tyler, and their rival teams are thrust into a high-stakes adventure as multiple storm systems converge in Tornado Alley Oklahoma.
This movie is the fun summer blockbuster that we’ve been craving, and Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones bring some INCREDIBLE chemistry to the big screen in Twisters š„š„š„ Buuuuut if you’re feeling slightly let-down by some things that were *ahem* missing from Twisters, then I’ve got you covered. š
So you’re looking for books like Twisters that’ll sweep you off your feet the same way you felt watching Glen and Daisy? Welcome to the world of storm chaser romance books! These books combine the thrill of the chase and the allure of heart-pounding romance creating nothing short of a whirlwind adventure. There’s just something SO irresistible about watching two people fall in love while living on the edge of danger.
Truthfully there aren’t that many storm chaser books out there, especially when it comes to romance. But with the runaway success of Twisters (plus all the nostalgia of the original Twister movie), I predict that storm chaser romance is going to be the next HOTTEST romance book trend (get out of the way hockey, storm chasers are coming to take over!).
