While the Darwin weather station gets its much needed updates after Cyclone Hazer, Jeremiah is sent to a small remote island station to assess if there's any damage from the storm and why it's offline. When Jeremiah and Tully are on the island, lightning strikes closer to home than either them are prepared for.

Jeremiah and Tully are solid in their relationship, but Jeremiah is still having trouble saying how he feels and it's taking a toll on Tully. Jeremiah is known to be a bit reckless, but his freak lightning accident puts everything into perspective. It's a pivotal moment that makes Jeremiah realize that he has important people in his life he can lose and how being scared of talking about his feelings is ridiculous when anything can happen to them. This gives him the push out of his comfort zone to express his feelings and take his relationship with Tully more seriously. That first "I love you" when one person has been scared to say it is oh so sweet and special, and they didn't disappoint. Jeremiah is truly a changed man and willing to express all the love and devotion he feels right back to Tully. He no longer feels the all encompassing need to study lightning, but rather he just wants to make sure he's safe for those who care about him. He still has the passion and love for storms that brought him and Tully together though, even if now they enjoy them from the safety of inside. 

Tully has lived a pretty good life and the accident is his first time dealing with a serious personal situation. It forces him to grow up a bit and expand his perspective beyond chasing storms and living fast. He starts to understand and empathize better with those around him, strengthening his own relationship with his family. He's also the perfect caretaker for Jeremiah, willing to change their lives and do absolutely everything to make him comfortable. It's so endearing watching them together, healing and loving. 

The book started a little slow and I didn't know exactly where it was going, but when the action hit I was hooked and flew through the rest of the book. Tully and Jeremiah had perfect hurt/comfort vibes and I loved seeing their relationship mature. I also enjoyed seeing Jeremiah start to mend his relationship with his dad. A lot of how he acts is because of his upbringing, and seeing them both heal those wounds was so heartwarming. I really enjoyed this series overall. Jeremiah and Tully are cute with low stakes relationship drama but high stakes action taking place around them. All the books are easy and captivating reads with a fun and unique setting. I'm excited to dive into more of NR Walker's backlist to see what variety she has to offer!
