Wrecked by Her
By kristieleigh
I cannot believe this is Kristie Leigh’s debut. Wrecked by her is a beautifully emotional, ugly cry, slow burn that will absolutely knock you off your feet! My heart was entirely ripped out while reading this, yet here I am dying for the second half of Hunter and Jules’ story. There’s just something about the love that exists between them that really grabs your heart even through the emotional upheaval that happens in this book.
It’s like you can feel how much they’re meant to be no matter how much life has thrown at them. Hunter is so steadfast in his love for her I don’t think anything could truly ever put an end to his feelings. While Jules may run scared her love is just as deep for him. I’m ready to drop everything and get right into the next book!
These characters and small town meddling will make you laugh and appreciate where you grew up. The way these characters interact and support each other blew me away!! This small town, emotional, fate-inspiring romance book will make you see true love exists if we only see it.
Warning: This book ends with a cliffhanger!!
Wrecked. That’s the proper way to describe how I feel after reading this book. My emotions are all over the place after reading this book. The small town, dreamy romance will shake your world up. I felt each and every emotion for Jules. The way this author described and provided this situations was epic and hit me right in the core.
This was a story of second chances after heartache, fate playing its part in life to help you see where you need to be, and picking up the missing pieces of your life regardless of what you actually want. I feel like this story would appeal to all romance lovers. There are no steamy parts. Just heartfelt, sweet devotion that has spanned for many years.
Jules and Hunter – such an amazing couple and you can feel the sparks from the authors descriptions. They have been through so much together. He is there for her through every tough moment and so strong for her. The ending is a cliffhanger and will make you scream and want to shake Jules.
Hold on to your seats folks – it’s a bumpy, enjoyable ride with Hunter and Jules.
Oh – we must have Book 2 now!!
This title is very accurate – dang Jules did a fantastic wrecking ball job. Jules and Hunter were high school sweethearts, but she broke things off when she went to college. Leaving Hunter pining, but moving forward.
Circumstances bring her back to town after eight years. Jules has clearly moved on with her life, but they are still drawn to each other. If you sympathize with Hunter – you probably aren’t going to like Jules so much.
This book was a quick read and paced well. I need to read Book 2 to truly find out how I feel about this story. It’s heartbreaking for sure. “Why aren’t I enough, though?” …tears…
I voluntarily requested and read an uncorrected advance reader copy.
Wrecked by Her is book one in a duet from Like a Hurricane and the authors debut novel. This story will capture your heart and hurt your heart over and over. Hunter and Jules story is given to us to show the relationship now and then to give us the backfill we need to get the full emotional effect of these characters. Jules left town over eight years ago and although she has not been back until recently, Hunter still loves her through this all. He is going to show her that while he was Wrecked by Her that he wants to love them and have a future with them. But…Jules does what she does best and wants to run. Haha, love how her mom does a little something.
You will fall in love with Hunter from the beginning, Jules you like, but want to strangle a few times with her actions and how she handled things not only with Hunter, but her mom and BF. At the end she grows on you, but that will be decided based upon how this plays out in the next book. Since we know it is a cliffy since it’s a duet, you won’t have to wait long for the outcome as they release in the same month luckily. In the meantime, listen to “Hurricane” by Luke Combs to see how it fits Hunter/Jules. If you are a duet gal, I highly recommend this one to you.
Hunter and Jules were high school sweethearts until Jules went away to college. Hunter thought their relationship could survive 4 years long distance but Jules didn’t come back. 8 years later she comes back with a toddler in tow. Can Hunter survive the hurricane that is Jules emotions?
This was my first read by Kristie Leigh and I am a fan. The author created great characters and I fell in love with them. My heart broke for Hunter trying to get Jules back in his life for good. Wrecked by Her was a beautiful love story. It leaves you with a cliffhanger and not so patiently waiting for Saved by Him.
If I hadn’t been told I wouldn’t know this was a debut novel it was that good. I was sucked in from the beginning till the end, then disappointed that I was at the end. It broke my heart in places and also had me thinking wth. But it was a fantastic story and I can’t wait to read the next one.
“No matter how hard I tried, being around her but not with her shredded me. I couldn’t be normal when everything about me was broken.”
Wrecked by Her is the emotional and heart-stirring first half of the Hurricane Duet debut by author Kristie Leigh.
This book was well developed, and set the scene for a second chance at love. My heart broke for Hunter, and couldn’t help but want to slap Jules. I absolutely had a love-hate relationship with her character.
I literally cannot wait to dive into book two!
Beautiful book for an author’s debut novel! Wrecked by Her is the first book in the Like a Hurricane Duet. I really got sucked in! I am looking forward to reading the second part of the Duet!
I enjoyed this book. This was Kristie’s first book and I think she did great. I do feel like it was alittle slow in the beginning but then it picked up. I found myself frustrated with Jules and loving Hunter. The love that he has for Jules and waiting all this time for her, had me feeling like what’s wrong with this man. Then again that made me love him even more. I can’t wait to dive into the second book and see what happens. Good job Kristie.
(3.5 stars) This is book one in the Hurricane Hearts Duet by debut author Kristie Leigh. Hunter always thought Jules and he would be together forever until she left for California. Now 8 years later she is back for her sick mother and she came with quite the little surprise. Can they work things out or has too much times passed? This was a good start for this duet however it does drag in a few spots for me and I feel this could of been made into one book. This ends ready for book two; Told in dual POV
