Let the Rain Come Down
[Siren Everlasting Classic Erotic Alternative Paranormal Romance, M/M, shape-shifters, public exhibition, light bondage, HEA] After spending a decade of doing exactly what he’s told and having every minute of his life choreographed for him, Oscar has no idea what to do now that he’s free. Keeping him and his friends hidden from people who want to hurt them is top priority, but he can’t help wanting something more for himself. Neither completely man nor animal, but somewhere between, Demitrius Accola has lived his life as an outcast, enduring the fear and judgment of others because of his appearance. Assigned to protect the new Moonlighters in Haven, he never thought he’d find his mate. Nor did he expect that the little shifter would be completely unafraid of him. When the past Oscar is trying to outrun finally catches up with him, there’s no question of how far Demitrius will go to protect his mate. It’s only a question of if it will be enough. ** A Siren Erotic Romance

Total rating : 3.5 Beauty and the Beast Stars
Let the Rain Come Down astonished me with beauty and the beast plotline.Oscar was recued from slavery and after that he met Demitrius who looked like half human,half animal.Demitrius never believed anybody would like to look at his face and be charmed by it,but Oscar had broken his wall and hailed the man inside.Jeez ! that looked so sweet IF I didn't see the storyline was guessable and nothing mind-blowing had happenned.
In the end,I loved the dialogs between Demitrius and Oscar for showing me how much they loved each other and I adored them both.They're cute together.
I do love this series and it's fun to read.Evans's writing style never lets me down.

It's almost a sure thing. Whenever I decide to give up on a series the next story in the line up becomes the best one! This was the most romantic and hilarious one of the bunch. Better than book 1 and two put together. It definitely redeemed book 4 and 5 which I found disappointing and dragging. Ms. Evans was truly inspired when she wrote this.
This is my hands down favorite of the Moonlighters series. I was about to give up on this series as I was not too fond of the 4th and 5th book and I felt after Keaton that the writing was declining. I just had to read it again as I did not want it to end. Oscar and Demetrius were perfect for each other. Their chemistry and love were just mind-blowing wonderful.

(hopefully this one will be better than the last couple bks in this series.)
This one was so much better.
Can't wait for the twins stories!

Let the Rain Come Down by Gabrielle Evans
The Moonlight Breed, Book 6
4 Stars
Reviewed for www.heartsonfirereviews.com
Ignored and shunned by his own family, Demetrius is an outcast even among shifters due to his partially shifted state. Don't worry, he doesn't look like an furry animal, but his ears are pointy, his glowing eyes are that of a feline and he has a mouth full of sharp pointy teeth with elongated canines. Due to his genetic anomaly he is unable to change into his shifted state of an Egyptian lynx or to appear completely human. He is stuck somewhere in the middle. His enormous size and his fierce appearance scares almost everyone. He is angry at the hand he was dealt and he is also resigned to forever being alone. He comes to Haven and Stavion, the coven leader, immediately sees beyond his appearance and eventually convinces him to stay on as an Enforcer.
Oscar and his three friends are hiding in a cave naked, dirty, cold and terrified. They have escaped their imprisonment at The Hive and are on the run from the men who have enslaved and abused them. It is here that they are found by the Murphy brothers, Enforcers for Stavion, and taken to Haven to live. The fascinating thing about the four men rescued is not only are they different breeds of moonlighters (Oscar is a hedgehog) but they are also Desirables. Desirables are "genetically engineered and highly trained companions, capable of fulfilling their master's every need, wish or desire". They are sex slaves, capable of completely changing their appearances and even their sex and reproduce to fit the desire of their masters. The four men have years of abuse and low self worth to overcome.
When Demetrius and Oscar meet, they immediately know that they are mates and Demetrius is amazed and relieved that Oscar has no fear of him at all. Oscar is still coming out of his shell and learning to fit in the world around him. His life as a slave is not easily forgotten but he is learning to trust in himself and to trust Demetrius. Oscar's love and acceptance has allowed Demetrius to let go of his anger and start to heal. When he stops being so defensive and pushing people away, he learns that most people like him when they get to know him.
There is some action in this book when a man claiming to be the owner of the four Desirables come to claim them and drones from The Hive kidnap Oscar but the story mostly focuses on the relationship between Demetrius and Oscar. Both men are interesting and engaging and I enjoyed seeing them evolve as people and as a couple.
I really enjoyed this sixth installment in The Moonlight Breed series. I honestly was ready to give up on it but took a chance and I am very glad that I did. I recommend this installment of The Moonlight Breed series to anyone who enjoys a little different take on the usual shifter story.

Notes:
Why would Demetrius leave them if he was supposed to guard them? And if Oscar could be with them, why wouldn't D just have taken him with him? And why didn't Oscar ask him to? Five minutes later he decided to go.
How could the contracts be legal? You can't own people.
Why doesn't he just change his height to get through the snow? That would please his mate.
Why does the prejudiced person who has to be saved have to be female?
People can outrun hedgehogs, even a nerf football is bigger than a hedgehog, a small tiny football would still be a third his size and weigh a lot to him so how would he hold it in his mouth, especially without falling forward, plus, how is it fair for him to turn into an animal during the game?
When he's kidnapped, why wouldn't he be kept small so he's lightweight and easily contained?
Danger and peril insufficient and a huge let down.

A nice addition to the Moonlighter series although I somewhat think it should have been a spin-off since the new moonlighters introduced in this one have been genetically modified and are labeled as "desirables". The MC's were quite likable and story was a fun read. I felt somewhat sad about the treatment Demitrius was suffering and putting himself through. I'm very happy with the change Oscar made in Demitrius' life. The bonding heartfelt moments didn't hurt either. Sadly to say it didn't make it into my favorite list for this series. I do look forward to reading more about Ro though.

Meh. I didn't much care for either main character. Not that there was anything wrong with them at all but there was just something missing. Also there's so many characters butting in all the damn time that I just can't get them all straight in my head anymore. I can't remember who is related or mated to whom and it's just confusing. Not to mention how they all just muddle the romance in the story. I spent more time trying to fit all the other characters in the main arc rather than just enjoy the budding romance between Demitrius and Oscar.

This was quite enjoyable. Mostly a light hearted read, with minor drama. I wish there was a bit more angst though.
Both MCs were likable, but the deep connection between them wasn't there. The author tried to portray a deep love, but it didn't come through to me.

It wasn't one of my favorites, but it moved the series along so that was okay.

More like a 3.75. I felt there were some unresolved issues with Demetrius.
