Disclosure: This book was shared with me free of charge by the author in return for an honest review.
I enjoyed this book immensely! It included many things I love; such as, quotes from good literature, rain, romance, and dogs! Did I mention the dogs?! Very often, adult romance novels are very corny. Or, they are way too graphic for my taste. Personally, there are some things I prefer not to see in print. However, I felt like Wesley Banks did a gr ...more

It has been a long time since i have been able to appreciate a well written fiction book. Hope in every Raindrop is a very tasteful well written fiction book. I felt every single emotion possible while reading this book and was able to vividly "see" the story the author had written.

“She looked around again - at the large angel oak behind her, stretching its limbs like an old man reaching for a memory. The tulip poplars showing more yellow than a week ago.

I read the description and was instantly drawn in. I started reading and was loving Katie's story. I love that she is a writer. My heart ached as she mourned her father. She hit a writers block, while going through this hard time, until she found a map, and a note.
Katie had a dead line coming up and had to get something to her editor in just a few shorts weeks. When she happened upon the map, she decided to do what her father had done in the past. She turned the map backwards and hung it up. Th ...more

Hope in Every Raindrop begins where the pavement ends. Wesley Banks’ descriptions take you to the place where the dust from dirt roads climbs up your jeans, where you join the sunflowers stretching their faces to the sky, and where the beauty of rainstorms chasing distant tree lines holds you captivated.
The small town charm sweeps you into an excursion of your own. As soon as you arrive with Katie in Bishopville, the stress of your hectic pace glides off your shoulders in a breeze from across th ...more

Hope in every raindrop focuses on two young people coming to terms with grief and loss. They are brought together by some remarkable dogs on an isolated farm in South Carolina. It's obvious Katie and Kyle will end up with each other from the moment they meet, once they work through the inevitable misunderstandings and miscommunication. Kyle's uncle, Doc, and the dogs help the budding romance along.

While this is not my cup of tea, I did enjoy and breeze through this book. I was honestly surprised with how fast I finished it ( in less than 24 hours )
I loved the fact that the female protagonist is a 21 year old writer with already several best selling novels and an agent! I was so picturing myself living that life and owning a house on the beach. *sigh* all in due time.

Hope In Every Raindrop was a page-turner that I didn't want to put down. Nor, did I want it to end! It was a beautiful love story! It was not just a love story between people, but also the love between people and dogs! The book had a lot of insight into the Carolina breed of dogs that showed how the author, Wesley Banks, had spent so much time and effort in the history and specifics of the breed. Wesley Banks writes with both knowledge and with heart! His words flowed easily and resonated with h

I love the title of this book "Hope in Every Raindrop" and the running theme of it throughout the book. I also loved the dogs in this book and how they played a large roll in the life and learning of the characters.

This book is an easy enjoyable read. Katie, the main character is a writer who has lost her inspiration to write and finds a new inspiration in the most ingenious of ways. She follows a path to a story which leads her to a small town, an old town doctor, very special dogs and their master, Kyle. While the book is an easy read it doesn't grab you till more than half way through and then it's over. What begins ...more

I love books that I can vividly imagine the characters and setting in my mind. The detail and character development intrigued me and I just wanted to know more and more about Katie, Kyle, and Doc. Unlike other romance novels that focus heavily on the couple and tend to be corny, the connection between Katie and Kyle seemed very real. I really enjoyed the re-occurring theme in this story that hope is all around us, but I also loved what the dogs were able to teach Katie and how her character grew

I was given a gifted copy by Story Cartel in exchange for an honest review.
I have to confess that at the beginning the slow pace of the story and the description in so full details made hard for me to get into the story but once I did I couldn’t stop reading until the very end of the book. You get to love all the characters in the book, people and dogs alike. The way he describes things is so great that you can feel the pain, the fear and the sadness right into you.

This book had me from the very first paragraph. I am very scatter-brained and it is hard for me to pay attention but reading this book had me hooked after the very first page. I love the detail and description used in every paragraph that allows me to paint a mental picture of every sentence. Hope in Every Raindrop is a must read for anyone who is looking for an amazing feel good story that will allow you to immerse yourself into every scene even if you have a limited attention span like me.

I adore romantic novels. However, they always seem too cheesy. Hope In Every Raindrop is not just a romantic story; it shares a meaning to life and gives the reader little moments to reflect on their own life and the choices they have made and have yet to make. I started and finished the book in two days. I can only say I have done that with a few books throughout my life.
I am looking forward to Mr. Bank's next book AND crossing my fingers Hope In Every Raindrop becomes a movie!

I loved this book! Wesley Banks's well-developed characters and descriptions make it easy to visualize each scene. I was so captivated by the characters and their stories that I read this in two sittings and didn't want this story to end. With romance, dogs, and hope to buffer life's struggles, Mr. Banks has given us a wonderful story of love and triumph. A great read for anyone and a must-read for dog lovers. I highly recommend this book by this very talented newcomer.

Just finished reading this book and must say it didn't take me long! I was revited by the author's story line about finding hope in all things. I grew to love the characters especially the four-legged ones and cried like a baby at the loss of one. The author"s talent for writing about the connections we form with people and our beloved animals is evident and kept me reading to the end!

This book quickly drew me in and made me look forward to my daily evening reading time! The pictures of the characters and scenes were so well described and vivid in my mind. I story of love and life and struggles and hope, this book is a great summer read and will be hard to put down!
I just loved reading this book, I enjoy when the author gives the detail on the subjects to give you a little more so you can really feel your right there with them. This book does that and more. It is a must read for the romantic and animal lovers alike
this book is meant for someone who loves dogs and has a lot of patience while reading. People who can’t wait to get to the crunchy part, stay away!

The Skinny
This novel is a blend of new adult, romance and literary fiction. The writing is done so seamlessly it’s hard to realize how to place this novel into a genre.
Katie is a young writer – a young, repeated bestselling writer in a single year – but she has lost all inspiration for writing. Her agent is chomping at the bit for the next book’s draft Katie has said she’s been working on. When faced with an ultimatum, Katie follows in her father’s footsteps to find her next story.

Wesley Banks has written a book about love, understanding and forgiveness. This story will pull you right in with the first chapter. You will be turning pages to see what happens to Katie and Kyle. Katie is a best selling author who has lost her touch for writing. A dart and map later will lead her across the country to what she hopes for a big story. Kyle trains dogs, but not in a manner that most people do. He is silent and mysterious which is how Katie met him.

I wasn't blown away by the first book (3 stars) but had heard people rave about this book.
I honestly only liked this book a little bit more than the first one. This book is a love story without any romance and I just felt like something was missing. However, it's a very quick read with parts and aspects I really liked.

A beautiful story
A heartfelt story about a man and his dogs. A dog lover myself I learned alot from this story. In the end it is all about love and hope.

“There has to be hope. Not because it already exists within you, but because it must exist, period. There is no option to lay down because you're feeling hurt. There is no alternative. It is not live or die. It is live or live. Not because you want it that way, or because you've willed it that way. But because it must be that way.”
