About this audiobook

Tori’s life was perfect—a successful job, a doctor for a husband, and a pristine loft in Chicago—until her husband left her for someone else. With her divorce comes a surprise cabin in the Deep South, and she wants nothing more than to get rid of it so she can get her life back in order.

Marcus is the self-appointed guardian of his sister and three brothers, while their mother lives a toxic lifestyle, but one call to his auto repair shop from an entitled city girl turns his world upside down. He’s a master of reading people, but the feisty newcomer poses an interesting challenge.

As their lonely hearts search for help and healing with each other and God, the dangers of the world come knocking. Will Tori be able to save Marcus’ family and make him see that their differences aren’t enough to keep them apart?

A sweet, Christian romance that shows us that love is greater than our circumstances.

Beautiful Storm is book four in the Unfailing Love series, but the books can be read in any order.

Ratings and reviews

Tori was living an empty life in Chicago working as many hours as she could and barely seeing her husband when he tells her he's been seeing another woman and wants a divorce and offers her a cabin in Georgia as part of the settlement. Tori is not very likable at the beginning of the book, with a superior attitude and thought she would only spend as much time at the cabin as it took to get it ready to sell. Marcus was closed off, protective of the troubled siblings he is guardian for, and suspicious of strangers like Tori. They have both been hurt by a parent who should have loved them and he pushes her away several times in the book. Tori was not religious at first, but the book talks heavily about her spiritual conversion and giving herself to Jesus. I liked Marcus siblings, especially his teenage sister Megan who was worried about her wardrobe and excited to go shopping with Tori. But it must have been hard for Tori to consider being with someone who comes with a good sized instant family. This book wasn't as suspenseful as other books in the series as Tori's ex Scott was a jerk at times but not a cruel person. But it still had plenty of sweet and funny moments. The narrator, Lorana Hoopes, is also a wonderful Christian author who adds emotional inflections, voice tones and changes, and intensity to the story.
