Synopsis (Goodreads):

When Detective Drest Bright meets his newest charge, sparks literally fly. There is no denying the instant attraction he feels for Rachael Frankenstein. But she’s off-limits, and he knows as much. Her family has been a thorn in the side of the Nightshade Fae Hunters for over a hundred years, and they aren’t about to let him run off into the sunset with her without a fight. But if it’s a fight they want, it’s a fight they’ll get because this lovestruck Fae will do anything he can to be with his mate again.

Thoughts on Thunder with a Chance of Lovestruck: It's Drest's turn to fall madly in love and have some very terrible things keep him from his lady-love and I AM HERE FOR IT. Seriously, these two have a rough go of things and it takes them a long time to find one another after circumstances fling them apart. A long time.

But Grimm Cove has a way of drawing the right people to it at the right time and Drest and Rachael end up where they need to be. Eventually.

Before that, however, they have the type of forbidden love that is frowned upon by Drest's higher-ups. And then there's the whole thing that happened with Rachael's family. Basically, it's messy and complicated and Drest didn't necessarily make the best choices when it came to their relationship, but he (and Rachael and their kiddo) paid an excessive amount for said forbidden love.

In other words, their relationship had a lot of ups and downs and a really big pause that gutted both of them. Yet they ended up finding one another again and defeating some bad guys and THINGS WERE GOOD.

I'm really enjoying the Frankenstein (and related family) arc and the wealth of possibilities opening up in Grimm Cove. *thumbs up*
