Outrun the Rain
by N.R. Walker
When Tully agrees to let a science researcher tag along on his storm chasing trip, he doesn't expect the sexy, nerdy Jeremiah. They spend the week in the wild Northern Territory of Australia dodging lightning and living rough, learning to trust one another and stoking the spark of attraction between them.
Tully and Jeremiah were pretty cute. Tully is a sunshiney, what you see is what you get kind of guy. He doesn't hide any of his feelings and it's a breath of fresh air to have such a honest and sincere character. He is one giant goofball most of the time but knows when a situation is serious, switching into protector mode. Jeremiah is passionate about his work but is a little more wary when it comes to people. He's learned to expect the worst and he's a bit stubborn, but even he can't resist the wily charms of Tully. Their crazy interests bring them together, allowing them to be comfortable as their authentic selves with no judgement. Even if they think the other is crazy at times.
One thing I really like was that the setting was really unique and interesting, there's not many books about Australian storm chasers and people studying lightning. All the lingo was easy enough to follow along and I loved the added element of danger from the storms and being in truly wild nature.
My only thing to knit pick about is that it's the first book of three for Tully and Jeremiah and it kind of reads that way too. The ending wraps up the immediate problems nicely but there isn't a deep dive into their relationship yet, more of an introduction to the couple. I still really liked this start, and I'm hoping we get to explore more of their relationship and see it evolve into something more serious in the next book!
