The Song: Steal My Thunder by Conner Smith and Tucker Wetmore

The Tropes
✔️ Professor x Student
✔️ Posessive MMC
✔️ Strong FMC
✔️ Spin off series(!!!)

The Characters
Finley: Miss girl, you are living the life. If I was in a graduate program where I could chase storms AND be in person, I'd be all over that ish. I was a baby storm chaser in undergrad and boy do I miss it. I also really loved how damn strong this woman is. She gets told
that he regrets having sex with her
immediately after? No problem. She still hops in the truck with him the very next day. I would have crucified that man OR crawled into a hole and unalived myself. So props to her. 
Ryker: Mr. sir, all I have for you is your ass did not grovel enough. 

Things I Loved
I really liked the chemistry between these two. I loved the way they interacted and how we could feel the pull between them. I also LOVED the little cameo in this!!!! (IYKYK) Maybe Finley can come to life and take me storm chasing. 

Things I Didn't Love
That man did not grovel enough. 

The Final Verdict
I needed this six months ago when all I could wear was a shirt with Glen Powell's face all over it.

I typically do not enjoy slap stick humor. It is not my cup of tea. This was full of it.
