Saving the Rain: Crimson Ridge, Book 4

This series is one of my all-time favorites and Saving the Rain is a wonderful addition. I’ve had a soft spot for Kayce since the beginning of the series and I’m so happy to see him finally get his HEA. This book checks off so many of my favorite tropes. Stepbrothers? Yes! Grumpy and swoon-worthy cowboys? Yes, please! Tender and emotional moments? Of, course! Small town setting with characters that I would love to sit around a bonfire with? I’m there! Kayce and Raine shared a childhood with parents that were selfish and abusive. Kayce idolized his older stepbrother, Raine, from the moment they first met. Kayce always thought Raine hated him, and he couldn’t understand why. What did he do to make Raine treat him the way he did? Little did he know that wasn’t the case. When we first met Kayce in the beginning of this series, he was Layla’s drunk ex-boyfriend. He did redeem himself slightly at the end of Chasing the Wild and I had a feeling there was more to his backstory. And I finally had all my questions answered with Saving the Rain. Over the course of this series, we see him trying to get his life together. He’s forging new friendships and he’s determined to do better…be better. And then there’s the grumpy Raine. Raine thought he put Kayce and that life behind him when he was finally able to leave home. He never expected to be standing face-to-face with Kayce again. He also didn’t expect to suddenly have thoughts about the man he absolutely should not have. Kayce and…

Great story, 1/2 horrible narration. I’m writing this long after i listened to it but I still regret spending $ for this. Take my advice & just read it. The narrator that did Raine’s voice …in his chapters when he did kayce’s voice, were awful. It was akin to listening to smeagol in lord of the rings. Whispery & creepy. Just don’t, it will ruin the whole book. I found myself vacillating between laughing & cringing & then just turning it off because I couldn’t handle the cringey voice. That being said, please read it, it’s a great book!!!
