The Storm Inside by Alexis Anne4.5 StarsWell, this book starts out with one HOT and steamy scene, that is for sure!!!!  It captures your attention and after that, I couldn’t put the book down!  I LOVED this book.  It was one of the best love stories I have read to date.  The writing at times was so descriptive you could feel the love, pain, confusion and desperation between the characters.Where to start, where to start? Eve and Jake.  They dated all through college and were the opitomy of soulmates.  They were as close as two people could get.  Eve could not see her life without Jake in it.  Jakes upbringing was less than stellar and it seems they are from two different worlds but that does not stop them from being together.  Unfortunately, the day of their college graduation this difference brings on something that will forever change their relationship and Jake is just gone.  No goodbye, no explaination, no nothing.  Eve is truly a broken woman.  Her heart has been ripped out and she is devastated.  Not only did she lose the man she loves but her best friend as well.  You can feel her loss, her pain and her struggle to comprehend what could have made Jake leave and never contact her.Ever.  Until now. 10 years later.  He is back and wants her back and is willing to do whatever it takes to get her back.  She is shaken to her core.  Her life is right where she wants it. She has her dream job, a great group of friends and a supportive, loving family.  She has yet to find the “one” but is very content in her life.  Never in a million years did she ever expect to see Jake again but of course secretly wished for it.  Well, her wish has just shown up back in town with plans of staying.Even though he claims to be a changed man and needed the past 10 years to deal with his past, Eve has a very difficult time letting him back in.  She can’t seem to get past the hurt and loss she felt all those years ago and doesn’t want to set herself back up for heartache because she knows she will not survive it this time.  The rest of the book is about their struggle to come back together.  At times it is comical and at times heartbreaking to see their struggle to trust and love again.  She needs answers as to why he left with no contact for all these years and that is another heartbreaking story in itself.  This was all around a great love story and I am looking forward to reading more from the author!
