Rainshadow Road Lisa Kleypas 9780749953881 Books Reviews

Once again, Lisa Kleypas has written a flawless, amazing love story with awesome characters that you can't help but love and some you will love to hate. The story deals with significant issues for both the H/h. The hero, Sam grew up with alcoholic parents and doesn't believe in marriage and will not commit to any one woman as a result. The heroine, Lucy grew up with a sister, Alice who almost died at age 5 from meningitis and was always catered to by their parents after her near death experience causing Lucy to be jealous and resentful of Alice. The sister, Alice grows up expecting to get handed everything she wants because she has always had it that way. Alice ends up sleeping with Lucy's boyfriend, Kevin who she lived with and had been with for 2 years. Kevin tells Lucy about Alice and breaks up with her. Lucy meets Sam within an hour of her break up and they are immediately attracted to each other but both are very weary. Kevin runs into Lucy again and tries to pursue her but she isn't interested, especially when he lets her know that he will only ever be a friend with benefits but nothing more. At first, Lucy knows she isn't ready to jump into any kind of relationship after her break up with the douche bag, Kevin. But after more interaction with Sam, Lucy decides maybe she should experience a relationship without promises or commitment because if there are no promises then they can't be broken. Then the story gets really good! I'm not going to spoil it for you because I know you will enjoy reading it yourself. There is an element of magic in this book that didn't take it into the paranormal range but definitely added nicely to the story. I can't say enough good things about this book...just buy it now because it is that good! I loved this book so it will definitely be added to my keeper list and be read again many times I'm sure.
FINAL DECISION This was a fine story and parts were really good, but I thought the first half was better than the conclusion and nothing about it was really memorable.

THE STORY Lucy Marinn discovers that her live-in boyfriend of two years has dumped her for her younger sister. Lucy asks herself why she keeps getting involved with the wrong kind of man. When she meets Sam Nolan, owner of a local vineyard, she knows she bad man streak continues. Sam is a nice man but he is upfront that he never intends to marry and any relationship with him can only be physical. The two cannot seem to avoid one another, however, as accidents, matchmaking and coincidences keep bringing them together.

OPINION I wanted to really love this book, but I only ended up liking it and that was primarily because of the characters. In some ways this felt like a book made up of jumbled genres. Contemporary romance, women's fiction, and paranormal just didn't work together in this book.

I loved the characters and wish this was more like a true contemporary romance. Instead, this book has a women's fiction feel where the story is more about Lucy's personal growth than the romance. We don't get enough about Sam and Lucy together. In fact, much of their story ends up taking place in the space of a couple of paragraphs noting that they spent months together as a couple.

I liked the characters and the story, but I thought the romance ended up a bit disconnected even though it had great potential.

The book also has paranormal elements that seemed to have no real purpose in the story. They were weirdly placed and didn't really contribute to the story. They were neither fully integrated into the characters nor significant enough to the story to make their placement worth breaking the contemporary romance rules.

Parts of the book were really good. I loved the parts where the deep emotions between Lucy and Sam are allowed to be the focus, but those moments were only enough to make the overall book likable.

The book feels like an experiment that I didn't find entirely successful.

WORTH MENTIONING I think the blurb for this book doesn't really describe the story in this book as it suggests that Sam and Lucy get together because of her ex's interference. That is just not true.

CONNECTED BOOKS RAINSHADOW ROAD is the second book in the Friday Harbor series. It can be read as a standalone although there are overlapping characters.

STAR RATING I give this book 3 stars.
