Book Review: The Promise of Rain

 


The only thing worse than the lie that tore them apart is the truth.

Cursed with soft eyes and steep curves, Jenny Davis spent her teens dodging her mother’s bad-news boyfriends, her twenties battling small-town whispers, and the past eleven years nursing the heart Deacon Raine shattered when he left.

Bent but not broken, Jenny builds a sweet life around her safe, steady, and hers.

Then, tall, dark, and deadly returns from the military.
He wants a second chance. But he’s hardened beyond recognition. And she’d rather be alone than repeat her mother’s mistakes.

Ten years of service couldn’t purge Jenny Davis from Deacon’s veins, but it taught him to see people through a different lens. Despite his father’s warnings, his mother’s pleas, and the never-ending rumours, he’s looking at the girl he left behind.
This time, he’s determined to be her shield.

But when the truth comes to light, will he guard her heart? Or break it?


My Review

This is my first introduction to the author's work. Yet, I will tell you that after reading this book, I will be checking out more books by the author. 

For me it was all about the emotions for me. I could never fault Deacon truly for breaking Jenny's heart. Not when I met his parents. I was so happy when Deacon stood up against his parents and sought to make amends to Jenny. Not just because he broke her heart but because he never stopped loving her. You could tell that Deacon was genuine with his feelings.

Devin wrote such a beautiful story of angst, heartache, loss, love, and second chances. So, grab your copy of The Promise of Rain now and find out why this book is not to be missed!
