Kelsey and Archer meet in a steamy encounter that neither expected to find, nor did they know exactly who they were interacting with at the time. When they make the connection later, their reactions to the revelation said so much about each of their individual personalities. 
 Archer is continually underestimated, by everyone around him. When he arrives in Mirror Lake to meet his nephew and perhaps spend some times with his brother, he is met with suspicion and hostility. Each time his motives were questioned or his rough past brought up, I hurt for him. 
 Kelsey had a slightly easier road than Archer, though it was still filled with heartbreak and challenges. Facing tenure at the university and the challenge of funding a research project that was slow to produce results, Kelsey had plenty of things to juggle as she explored her feelings for Archer. We learn so much about Kelsey's past in this one, things that I never would have guessed she had been through. It was enlightening to learn about how she chose meteorology and became a professor. 
 I loved the way Archer could so completely read Kelsey, and how Kelsey became a champion of sorts for Archer. Together they were exactly what the other never knew they needed. To me, this makes the perfect type of couple, even as it brings about it's own set of challenges for the pair. 
 The abundance of storm references, whether the tornados that Kelsey studies, or the state of their turbulent relationship, was a great connection to both characters. While the connection to Kelsey was obvious, Archer had just as much storm within himself that is was the perfect tie in for the relationship. 
 This book was as much the brothers remembering the relationship they once had as it was about Kelsey and Archer. I liked the steps the brothers take to repair their relationship, and the baby steps (and set-backs) they take give hope that someday they can find the common ground they once had. 
 I think I can say I liked this better than Dean and Liv's stories. Kelsey and Archer pulled me in faster and more completely that the original trilogy did. To me, it was faster paced, more tumultuous, and more fun to read. But I also loved the bits and pieces we get of Dean and Liv after their story is complete.
