Edge of Chaos by Molly E. Lee is an emotionally charged romance that took my breath away and hit me pretty hard, while exploring love, resilience, and self-discovery. The story follows Blake, a woman stuck in an unhappy relationship, who reunites with her childhood best friend, Dash—a storm-chasing thrill-seeker who pushes her to embrace life’s uncertainties. Set against the backdrop of turbulent storms and deep emotions, Lee crafted a heartfelt and exhilarating journey of second chances and finding the courage to chase your own happiness. This was perfect for fans of slow-burn romance with a touch of adventure. Edge of Chaos is a captivating read that will leave you wanting more from this author.

I was lucky enough to have an ARac of this amazing written book.

Edge of Chaos is a fantastic read. If you love storms and watching all those weather shows out there then you will just love this one it's the best I've read so far. Blake and Dash are fantastic together I loved the build up from friendship to more. I love the patience Dash has with Blake as she struggles with her relationship with her boyfriend. Blake is stronger than she knows and knows what she wants out of life. I love this tornado chasing romance so much. Dash and Blake are everything if you haven't read this book please do yourself a favor and read it.

Unfortunately, these characters didn’t work for me. They felt underdeveloped for my personal taste. I was hopeful because I love a romance with a niche career plot line but this was a miss for me.

Edge of Chaos is a surprising read that blends romance with storm-chasing, but its most powerful element is the realistic portrayal of an abusive relationship. Blake has been with Justin forever, and while she recognizes his mistreatment, she struggles to break free due to fear and nostalgia. Enter Dash, the swoon-worthy man who shows Blake what real love looks like which is very patient, kind, and supportive. He pulls her into storm-chasing, helping her find purpose. Molly Lee’s depiction of the storms is thrilling and intense, while Blake’s emotional journey is raw and relatable. The book is both exhilarating and heartbreaking, with a satisfying romance and plenty of excitement!

I read this one while I was utterly obsessed with the new Twisters movie and I think it filled the void successfully.

This one deals with some tougher subject matter with a heavy focus of domestic violence. Blake is in an abusive relationship with her long term boyfriend, Justin, and she feels utterly lost. She meets some friends in her college class that she instantly connects with and finds a spark of joy in life again. Dash, was a great main male character. His friendship with Blake was wholesome and he’s so patient with her through out the story. Both characters are in a relationship when they meet, so there isn’t any cheating in this one. And as they work through their emotions and hardships a romance blossoms when they both get out of their prior relationships.
I thought that this was a fun book with the twisters and meteorology references despite it dealing with extremely tough subject matter.

This book was an emotional and thrilling ride with great chemistry between the characters. The romance was heartfelt, and the story balanced tension, drama, and personal growth beautifully. The writing pulled me in, and the characters felt real and relatable. A compelling read that kept me engaged from start to finish!

Such a cute and heartwarming book. While this book was a great read and I didn't want to put it down, it's a very basic story with a storm chaser twist. This story makes you feel all the feelings while reading. I wanted to shake the main female character, Blake, so many times, while also understand why she was doing what she was doing. I cheered for her, I feared for her, and I held my breath while her life is unraveled and then slowly built back up. Edge of Chaos ends with a happy ending. If you enjoy romance, a little bit of spice, some drama, storms and a cute dog, this book is for you!

This book shows that you can find a beautiful love story even after enduring the hardships of a past abusive relationship. The insecurity the FMC felt was so relatable and the inability to trust. She got her guy and happily ever after and I’m so glad I gave this book a try!

This book had a lot of potential because I had a unique premise, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I enjoyed the moments of tension and the chemistry between the characters, but there were parts that felt rushed or underdeveloped. It’s a solid read but I found myself wanting a bit more depth to fully connect with the story.

I'm a Molly Lee girl, and she definitely did not disappoint. I've been looking to fill the void in my heart that Twisters left (UGH, Glenn Powell, you beautiful beast), and this book more than filled it.

Dash is everything. Supportive, engaging, loving, and kind. He's the best kind of best friend and then the best kind of boyfriend. I loved seeing him nurture Blake into seeing how bad her relationship was and how much Justin is THE WORST. Seriously, THE WORSTTTTTT. Blake had the best kind of growth, and I loved the journey.

I was scared Lindsay was gonna be a problem, but she's A GIRL'S GIRL. Seeing Blake struggling with Justin and even offering her outs. Then, the support when Blake couldn't see she actually needed it. A true queen. 👸

I am always looking out for books by Miss Molly, and this book was more than I ever thought it could be.

I loved this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat from the beginning, and I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to see what this author comes up with next.

Thank you Net Galley ARC

I didn't expect to love Edge of Chaos quite so much but oh my heavens this was a good book! Storm chasing and Twisters has never been my kind of thing, but I was hooked from the beginning. The character and world building are fantastic and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Spell kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. It was intriguing and the plot was well paced. I really enjoyed the book from him the beginning and I would love to read from this offer author again.

This started off great and I liked how it was written but the story felt like it was not progressing at all.

I absolutely love this book! It had it all, banter, romance, action, all the good stuff. It had me giggling and kicking my feet more often than not, and watching the relationship blossom between the main characters was such a treat. I’ve actually already reread this since reading it for the first time, absolutely recommend!

This was paste intense read. It had a lot of dark and Roth topics that were really done phenomenally well. The Author was able to infuse a sense of finding your strength with finding your person. And I just enjoyed the growth of storyline that the main female has along the way in this book. The romance was also done really well, and I appreciate it how the author took time to expand on the main girls point of you, in a sense that we have her heel throughout the book, but also kind of find her people.

What an adrenaline rush!!

This book had me on the edge of my seat from the first page.
Blake has never known safe live. She is trapped in a controlling relationship because she is afraid that her leaving Justin will destroy him. She'd rather put her well being to the side than see him hurt. This is why Blake is such a wonderful and compassionate character, she never puts herself first... At least not until she begins a new meteorology class that professional storm chaser Dash is enrolled in as well. She starts to let her walks down with Dash, begins to put some distance between Justin and herself and realizes that love doesn't equal control.
I loved the journey Blake went on as she began to find out who she really is outside of her "relationship" with Justin. I absolutely loved that Dash is one of the biggest green flag men I've read and how he helped her realize that she deserved better while keeping his distance.
The storm chasing element was icing on the cake. This book was written so descriptively and with such emotion I truly felt like I had a movie playing in my mind. It was so real that I found myself laughing, near tears and absolutely holding my breath during so many parts. I look forward to continuing to read about them and their story 🌪️

I love the storm chasing setting of this book! We need more storm chaser romance books and/or thrillers!

I'm immediately going home and binging Twister and Twisters while blaring both the soundtracks on the way home after reading this novel. I absolutely loved this novel. Complete and utter 5 star read for me. I need more. I need a spin off of John and Paul immediately. For those of us who still need more of Glenn Powell in a cowboy hat but need the spice that was missing in the movies, this book is for you!
