Rainwater! A Rare and Lovely Story!

This is a rare a lovely story, one that kept me turning the pages until I'd reached the end. And I wanted the story to go on, hated seeing the last page turn. Ms. Brown has veered from her usual fare, but in such an excellent way it gives me hope that she will write more of these stories! If you like a story that is strong on ideals and isn't afraid to tell it like it is, you will truly enjoy Rainwater.


A dying man, a lonely woman, a disabled child, all come together in this tale of courage and love in an absolute masterpiece. Not content with the love story, Ms. Brown has tackled social issues of the times, such as racial bigotry, hunger and famine during the depression of the nineteen-thirties and the ignorance of people as well as their innate kindness.

Ella Barron is a struggling single mother who takes in boarders to pay her way. Hard working and dedicated to her mentally challenged son, she is a shining example of courage and dignity. When Mr. Rainwater comes to board with her, she struggles to maintain her distance but the man is so compelling, so gentle, and most of all, takes such care with her boy, she finds herself drawn, despite her misgivings.

Mr. Rainwater isn't just a dying man looking for a corner to crawl into. He is a man whose strength of character shines in everything he does. In his own words, 'he wants the final days to mean something'.
To tell you more would spoil the story, so all I can do is advise you to read this book!

Great Review for The Man Rides a Harley

Crave More Romance Sunday, September 21, 2008
Sensational Sunday

Hey all! I gotta tell you about a great Romance Anthology I read recently. Love On a Harley and it's full of hotties on Harleys.

My favorite story though was by Diane Davis White, called The Man Rides a Harley.

Susannah can't figure out how she let her sister, Samantha, talk her into riding in some silly parade. She's never ridden on a Harley before and she doesn't even know the guy to whom she's desperately clinging. Susannah can't wait to get away from Duke and his less than desirable personality, especially after she humiliates herself while riding on the back of his bike. However, rather than dropping her off at her car as she anticipated, Duke takes Susannah to his parents place.

Unbeknownst to Susannah there's a reason her sister asked her to ride with Duke. Duke is well aware of the trouble Susannah is in, and Samantha knows Duke can help. After spending time with Susannah, Duke is pretty sure Samantha was out to do some matchmaking as well, and his parents seem to agree. Duke knows he get Susannah out of the scrape she's in, and he has a feeling falling for her won't be such a bad idea after all.

The Man Rides a Harley is a great, sweet, quick story. The chemistry between Susannah and Duke is immediately obvious to everyone but them. Despite their initial resistence to each other, their feelings are so strong, you know it's gonna last. Be sure to check out this fun story from Diane Davis White and all the other great stories, from some truly lovely authors in Love On a Harley.

A Secret Affair by Mary Balogh

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Recently widowed, Hannah Reid is Duchess of Dunbarton, decides to have an affair with a man who has captured her interest over the years. Now she is free to choose, she does so without qualm.

Constantine Huxtable is a man determined to break down her barriers, unearth her deepest secrets and bring the beautiful duchess to her knees.

Mary Balogh writes with panache and flair. Her characters are fleshed out and realistic, which is totally essential to a great book. I find myself eager to read the others in this series, this being the last. Alas, I hope Ms. Balogh does another such series, for she has become a favorite of mine.
