Summary: Mind powers are to be kept unused and secret. At least that’s what Clay Thomas believes until a determined rival from his past enters his life, seeking revenge. When Clay discovers that his athletic son has his own mind powers, they set out together to undo consequences from Clay’s past and to put an end to Jack Harding’s plans. As his enemy closes in and Clay and Tanner’s powers grow, Clay is forced to choose between protecting his secrets and protecting those he loves most. Loving the Rain is a suspenseful story about an exceptional man forced to face the choices of his past and the extraordinary love and forgiveness that finally offer him peace from a lifetime of secrecy.
The ReviewWell, what can I say, I really enjoyed this book, To be perfectly honest with you, I thought I would hate it, I am not a huge fan of sports, especially sports I don’t know, (I know that’s most of them, lol you can stop laughing now) but I learnt a lot from Jeff about the all American games in this book, Jeff really opened up my mind to reading sport, Thankyou that will make my hubby very happy. I wouldn’t say there was much in the way of paranormal going on in this book as Clay spent more time trying to stop Tanner making the same mistakes he had made in his past, but there was some psychic abilities going on, which was nice especially interspersed with the sports games that were being played,  I really loved how Clay focused a lot on what he had used his abilities for and the damage it had done in the past and why he didn’t want Tanner going down the same road, this is what made the book for me, the worry, that every parent goes through made 20 times worse because it constantly makes you feel guilty and he didn’t want his son going through that, Jeff wrote those parts really well. Jessie (Tanner’s mum) had a true friend in Carlee, she went above and beyond for a friend to look out for them, I loved her cousin, although I don’t think he starts out as a nice character but Pete Piggot really came through in the end, Well done Pete. I cannot believe that Clay went through what he did with Jessie, but MY GOD, Why did you have to make me cry, I won’t say because I don’t want to spoil it for everyone, but all that have read it will know exactly what I am talking about, right, so sad, make sure you have tissues ready, I wasn’t prepared and lay there in my bed trying to keep my snivelling quiet as my hubby was asleep next to me. This is a great read and I would highly recommend this book to everyone, I would give this book 4/5, I can’t wait to get stuck into Skeleton Key the next book by Jeff LaFerney
