RAINFALL, by Alison Rhymes


Seattle Blades #1

Cillian & Isla

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There’s no better author writing stories dealing with cheating like Alison Rhymes!  She manages the subject with humanity, compassion, and dignity.  What for many readers would be a trigger or negative content, in this author’s hands, the story shows the mistakes people do, not out of a desire to hurt, but immaturity, human error, miscommunication, and even in an earlier book, a mistaken sense of protection.  She doesn’t show cheaters who are evil, just human persons who lost their way, but want to make it right.

This story has a lot of heartbreak, but also a lot of redemption, guilt, regrets, memories, a lot of love and a lot of snarkiness, but above all, a sense of a love lost and a deep regret that love was lost.  And of course, a surprise baby in the form of a four year old precious girl Sadie, who forces the togetherness they needed to fix their relationship.


When I finished the book, I had to re-read it, to savor it, to enjoy this magnificent love story that surpassed years of separation, Isla’s mistrust and Cillian’s stupidity born of insecurity and immaturity.  They were young and lost their way, and probably it all needed to happen to make them the perfect version of themselves for each other.  


You need to read this book with an open mind, sensitive heart, and tissues because it’s beautifully heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting, because humans can commit mistakes but they have the capacity to reconsider, repent, and make it right for the happiness of all involved.


Incredibly moving, beautifully human, deliciously steamy, and absolutely riveting!

Book review: KARMA’S KISS, by R.S. Grey

The best part about this book is that it’s a small town romance, and I love this trope.  Everyone knows everyone else’s business, gossip tra...
