Guest Post-Emotions of the Rain
Please welcome my guest—->
Taige Crenshaw
It has been a very rainy time the last few weeks. It had me thinking again of how rain makes me feel. There is just something about the sound, scent and overall feeling that rain brings out so many various emotions. When I look out my window at the rain coming down I think of some of the different rains that and what emotions they invoke.
All New
The misty rain brings to mind the softness of a kiss or the blush of first love.
Lost and Adrift
The soaking rain with the wind blowing you to and forth batters at you like that moment when all seems lost in a relationship you put your all into. Everything you are yet it seems as if all is lost and there is no middle ground.
Resonate in the Soul
The deluge of rain with thunder and lightning resonates in the soul just like that moment when you know that person is forever yours. They are the one for you. The tumultuous emotions makes your soul sing.
Aftermath
As the rain slows and the rainbow comes out reminds you that you know all will be right. No matter what happen you will be stronger than yesterday.
There are so many more variations of rains I could explore. So much that the sounds of rain bring out in me. No matter what I experience I can compare it to the variety of rain. The next time wherever you are take a moment to appreciate the sound, scent and overall feel of rain. Let it wash over you with the many emotions of rain.

When life gives you a second chance how do you decide what to do?
Julianne Locke knows the pain of loss and what it can do to your soul. She has refused to let any man close… until an accident put a man in her path who will change her life. Keenan is the one man she cannot seem to put in a category or keep at a distance. Whether it is fate or coincidence that brings them together, Julianne cannot walk away from this man who pushes all her buttons and makes her want to believe in hope once again.
Keenan Callaghan's first look at Julianne makes him forget that he's there on business. The instant attraction and connection he feels for her leaves him unsettled. But he quickly comes to the realization that he wants to know more about this woman who not only tempts him, but makes him forget all else but her. Julianne might be trying to keep him at arms length, but he's a patient man. He knows the best way to weather a Hurricane is to hold on and ride out the storm together… forever.
Excerpt From: Hurricane
"No. Just wanted to know more about you," Keenan replied.
Julianne controlled her expression, not wanting him to see her shock. Keenan's smile, that same damn affable one, made her know he was aware he had unsettled her. She didn't like it one bit. His hands rested on the table. Her mind flashed, imagining his fingers on her skin. Julianne stiffened.
"Well, now you know a bit. I would offer you a tour of the place, but I really need to get to work." Julianne stood.
She gasped as Keenan moved, holding her chair for her. For such a big man, he was fast.
"Thanks. Let me see you out." She strode toward the door and reached to open it.
His hand on her arm stopped her. Julianne held in the shudder at his touch.
Closing her eyes briefly, she opened them and blanked her face into the business persona she used with a difficult client. It kept them at bay and offered her a shield of control. She glanced at him with a cool look.
"Is there something further?"
"Trying to put up a barrier against me won't work."
"I don't have any idea what you mean." The lie rolled off her tongue easily.
Internally, she cursed. She was usually blunt and able to handle things.
"You do. It was the same reason that I was so rude at the hospital when I spoke with you. There's a spark between us, Julianne." Keenan's smile was gentle and his look knowing.
The sound of her first name in his sexy voice was almost her undoing. Julianne refused to let him affect her. She pulled her arm away from his. Keenan's finger stroked her arm before her released her.
"All we have is business. And since that's done, we have nothing further to say," she replied.
"We had business. I didn't want to pursue anything while I was doing my investigation. Now that it's complete, there's a lot for us to discuss. I want to get to know you further, Julianne. Have dinner with me?" Keenan's light green gaze was intent.
"I don't date." She said firmly.
"Why?" he fired back.
Julianne gritted her teeth. It figured he would push the issue and question her.
"None of your business. Even if I did date, I don't like aggressive men," she stated.
"That's good to know, since I'm not aggressive." Keenan grinned affably.
"Could have fooled me," Julianne muttered.
"I do go after what I want," he said softly.
Julianne was caught by the look in his eyes. It was tender and possessive. She clenched her fist. He had no right to have such an expression. They didn't know each other.
But you want to, her inner voice goaded.
No I don't, she countered.
Keep lying to yourself. You want to go out with him, the infernal voice said.
No, I do not. He's already driving me to talk to myself. I don't need the hassle, she said firmly.
Julianne wrenched open the door, gesturing for him to leave. Keenan took her silent urging and passed her. Julianne followed. He turned suddenly, crowding her. Gasping, she stepped back instinctively before she caught herself and stood her ground. Scowling, Julianne glared at him.
"I unsettle you." His grin was smug.
"You startled me," she countered.
"Deny it all you want, but you're intrigued by what might be between us. I'm a patient man. I can wait until you come around. You have my number. Call me when you change your mind." Keenan shrugged, turning and striding away.
