Five years ago I married the man of my dreams, he was my life.
Now, in front of me there is a blue folder with big bold letters announcing the end. My husband is requesting a divorce.
The future I've envisioned is becoming debris.

As I rise from the ashes, my husband returns and threatens all I have built.

HELL NO..
IG- Miftahul_mslovesreading
ARC WAS KINDLY PROVIDED IN EXCHANGE OF HONEST REVIEW
The main thing about this book was sex, it was how the hero's dick got hard each time he looked at the heroine, how he wanted to fuck her..blah blah blah. There was no love, it was only about lust and I hate that kind of books. Very poor writing, and the hero is an IDIOT. I didnt feel anything while reading it, it was so boring. ugh i hated this book and there was NO chemistry between the characters. which made the sex between them disgusting, it was like two cousins fucking each others. ugh...this was a no-no for me

like her feistiness and how she grows into her own person without him
she's no pushover and she doesn't just forgive & forget, like 99.9% of other heroines in the same boat
by time someone got that right...
kudos to the author for this worthy heroine

Not what I was expecting
Actually this book was far different than what I expected. I think the husband handled everything wrong but he really did love his wife. I loved how he fought for her after his bonehead move. I hate when people do cruel things to spare the other person. Just tell the truth and let the cars fall where they may. Not telling her the true reason made her pain even worse.
I really loved the ending and the 2nd half of the book. I couldn't really give it four stars because I hate the going back in time every other chapter and I think it was a little slow. But I really did like the book and the authors writing and will try her books again. I really loved the hero at the end! This man groveled a lot. His remorse was palpable. I loved the epilogue too.

3 ⭐⭐⭐ - OK decent reads.
=======================
It was my first reading by the author and I liked it, but I confess that for the good reviews I read I expected much more. But it was a story ok. Interesting secondary characters and good writing. I paid for it and this is my opinion. I will look for more books by the author.

“You are a fucking coward, Chase Holland, a fucking coward! Who in the hell tells his wife that he wants a divorce like this? I want an explanation for God’s sake. I deserve an explanation!”
“I need my husband to come back to me. My real husband, not this uncaring bastard standing in front of me.”
I gave up a promising future in front of the television cameras, because I believed I had an even brighter future with my husband.
Did I become boring when I was no longer the glamorous weather girl from the television show? Was it because I put on a few pounds? Is that what turned him off, made me unattractive in his eyes? Was that why the last few times we made love the lights were turned off?
How do you begin to rebuild your life when you feel like nothing more than a disjointed reflection in a shattered mirror?
It hurts so much to live without a heart, without a dream, without hope. Chase stole all of that from me.
He looks defeated. Regretful. Hurt. Crushed. All the same feelings I’m experiencing. But hang on a minute, I’m the innocent party here.
Even after everything Chase has said and done, I still foolishly hope he’ll come begging on his knees, telling me that I’m his life, that without me nothing makes sense, that we should give our marriage another chance.
“Why can’t you just sign the original papers, when they were more than generous terms? Why are you making this more complicated, Roselynn?” he yells at me.
“You’re a fucking selfish bastard, Chase, that’s what you are!” I shout at him, outraged.
The decisions I made in the name of love have changed my life and my goals. I was a dreamer, I believed everything he said, all the plans we made. Now, I need to wake up and set new goals, new dreams, map out a new future for myself.

*** 4.5 stars
Rainstorm is book one of Susana Mohel’s new series, The Perfect Storm. The name of the book says what’s to come your way. A storm of emotions that will twist your heart.
“𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙧 𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩, 𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙬 𝙗𝙮 𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙬. 𝘾𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙗𝙮 𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙠.”
This wonderful, emotional story will have Susana’s usual poetic and beautiful writing style plus a very passionate and painful love story. Oh the painful parts had me literally screaming to her via phone. There is a twist on the story that made me want to strangle Susana jajajajaja. I got a hurricane of emotions with Rainstorm. I was so angry at the characters one moment and then my heart melt for them.
The love story of Roselynn and Chase it’s not a perfect love. It’s a real love, a marriage that had wonderful, incredible and dreamy days but also dark and stormy ones. It’s a story of second chances. It’s finding yourself once more and conquering your greatest fears. The power of love, the gift of communication, forgiveness and commitment.
“𝙉𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙣 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙙𝙖𝙮, 𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚, 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 𝙄 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙.”
The story is a dual POV which was SO great because you get to read how this wonderful love story develops, grew, crumbles and rises again through both characters.
The secondary characters were lovable specially Rose’s best friend Ariel. She was hilarious, a firecracker. Full of sassiness and energy. She was Rose conscience and also her wing woman. Love them together and their shenanigans.
The sexy parts of the story were incredible passionate and delicious.
“𝙇𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙣. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙪𝙨. 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝘽𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝘼 𝙬𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙧.”
The way Susana describe the scenery makes you want to get suck into the book and travel to Rose and Chase’s paradise with them. If you want a beautiful and real love story you definitely need to meet Rose and Chase. Release is around the corner, September 5.

Wow, just wow....if you are looking for a angsty, emotional and heartfelt story, look no further that Rainstorm by Susana Mohel. This story is truly a Rainstorm of epic proportions!
Rainstorm is not a hearts and flowers romance. This book doesn't start happy. This story grabbed me from the get go and didn't let go even after I finished. It took me almost a whole day later to come up with the words to review this properly without writing a book of my own! This book is going to give you ALL the feels!
Ms. Mohel is gonna take your heart and put it in the proverbial blender, set on frappe! Then she is put your heart back together, stronger and more hopeful and full of feels! I felt anger and loss, I felt heartbreak and I actually cried. I felt hope, lightness and the swoons!! Oh the swoons!
I loved how Ms. Mohel used a metaphoric rainstorm to describe the chemistry and relationship between Chase and Roselynn. Both beautiful and destructive. Both life-giving and life-taking.
The mystery and intrigue, the hope and the sorrow you are going to get everything in this story!! In fact this is definitely in the running for my "Best Reads of 2019!"
If you haven't read anything from this author before, do yourself a favor...GET THIS BOOK! You will not be sorry!

September 13, 2019DNF-the writing is awful.
“I calmly walked over, even though I wanted to run to her, to make my claim, as something inside me sizzled and burned.
Irrational.
Visceral.
Instinctive.
My soul recognizing hers, calling hers.
Calling to her innermost depths.
Calling home.”
So many damn adjectives!! Every single page is like this. Jesus Christ just get to the point!
“What are men but big boys?
And every boy loves Christmas morning. And the magic wrapped inside that shiny paper adorned with bows.
Ready to discover the surprise beneath them.
Ready to play.
Ready to enjoy.
Ready to own.”
Lmao just get the point already

ARC REVIEW
Raw. Real. Fierce.
From the first time ever I read a book written by the very talented Susan Mohel, I knew I was a goner. I knew I’d love every single character she wrote, I’d immerse myself in every world she created and I’d never let my adoration for her go unnoticed.
Thankfully, Susana and I clicked right away and I couldn’t b more happy and proud to say that she has become a part of my life, and I can confidently her new upcoming novel is by far her best.
‘Rainstorm’ is a story about love and pain, passion and deception all magically entwined to create a fierce little package that will give you ALL the feels.
This is a hard story that might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you love second chances, a love so strong it hurt and a passion that can make any man do crazy things, then this is the book for you.
Rose is our fierce heroine, she’s funny, witty, caring, passionate, creative and most importantly unique. She loves with all her heart and cares more than she’d like to admit, she’s strong and powerful, even though sometimes it might be hard to keep that in mind.
She might have lost her true self the last couple of months, but one thing she’s more than confident about is her feelings for her husband.
Chase is a charming hero, he’s hilarious, focused, persistent and sure. He knows what he wants and he is not afraid of showing it, he’d do anything to make the love of his life happy and he’s more than willing, when hard times come, to sacrifice something as strong as his love if that means giving Rose everything she deserves in life.
Marriage is not perfect. We all know this. But their marriage is being tested to another level.
Their love for each other might be so powerful that it seems like nothing can touch them, but when your guard is lowered, that’s when mistakes start to happen. That’s when bonds break, words you wouldn’t even think to say are said and pain fills everything inside you.
This might not seem like a love story all the time but a HEA is assured.
‘Rainstorm’ is a story about finding yourself, sacrifice, passion and true love but most importantly it is about the bumps along the road that’s so-called marriage.
It talks about how easily things can go from ‘we-couldn’t-be-any-happier’ to ‘what’s-happening-to-us’ and finally to ‘is-there-even-an-us-anymore’.
This story will rip you apart ever so slowly only to put you back together when there seemed to be no hope left. You will laugh and cry, love and hurt, feel and fall in love with these characters throughout every chapter, every page and every word of this book.
If you’re looking to read something new and unique, then this is the book for you because it will be one of the rawest and truest books you’ll ever have the pleasure to read.
There’s only one catch with this amazing book.
You will need to be willing to feel. Feel every emotion, every heartbreak and every tear that is part of this painfully beautiful rainstorm.

I really liked Rainstorm it would be the first book that I've read by Susana Mohel and I can't wait to read more be her in the future . I loved the way the author wrote this book it was written perfectly and man when we get to the reasoning lets just say my heart hurt . The characters were Likable even when they frustrated me with how they would go about things but over all this was a really amazing couple who love each other fiercely . Along with the hot chemistry they shared the banter between them either had me laughing , fanning myself , and just grinning like a loon . I hope to see more from the characters I want the secondary characters to find their own happy ending . So can't wait to read more by the author and of the Perfect storm series .

My first read by Susana Mohel and I loved it.
Roselynn and Chace’s book is beautiful. It’s not hearts and flowers. It’s emotional and heartbreaking, but it’s also real.
I’m going to confess..I love second chance romances. But for me, when a marriage is over, it’s over. But this story was do beautifully written. I couldn’t put my kindle down.
I’m not going to elaborate much on the story because you have to go blind and feel everything.
Susana, my friend, you are an amazing author and I’m proud of you.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rainstorm Stars!!

From the moment that they met Rose and Chase had an undeniable connection, it was the kind of connection that you feel deep down in your bones... the forever kind of connection. That connection lead to a marriage filled with passion, undying love, mutual respect, and happiness.
But sometimes life throws an unexpected curve-ball at you and it can implode even the strongest relationship, and turn it into something ugly, something you no longer want to hang on to. Then you are left to pick-up the pieces after the storm, sift through the remnants of your once happy life, and try your best to salvage whats left. And find the courage to let the pain and bad memories wash away, and start anew...
The pages of Rainstorm hold a story about heartbreak, lost love, new beginnings, and forgiveness. This isn't your typical love story, while it does have some happy moments to it, it also has some very ugly moments too, ones that will break your heart, and maybe even anger you. Watching these to fall for one another was beautiful, but watching them fall out of love seriously wrecked me...I felt every ounce of their pain. I do not want to give too much away about this perfectly penned tale so, I will just say this... it's a story you shouldn't miss. It's words are powerful and emotive, and destined to leave an impression on your heart that you will be feeling long after the last page is turned. Highly recommend!!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

It's a pretty second chances story.
Here we see how Rose and Chase's marriage is affected by the secrets, those they decide to keep for themselves believing that it's the best for their mate, however all that goes together until there comes a time when those little "lies by omission" are so heavy that at the end destroy everything.
Now Rose must learn to live trying to please herself, something she was forgetting along the way, and Chase must learn to trust her, and know that she can with both; good and bad things.
Both must discover a complicated lesson, that marriage is not only joy and happiness but sadness and problems they have to face together.
A story that talks about real life, about what it's to desperately want the well-being of the other person and give everything for it, even our own happiness. A story that teaches us that the greatest sacrifice is not about our happiness but about the happiness of the person we love.
So... recap!!
Rainstorm is just that!! A rain storm of emotions that you will feel in each page of this pretty story!

Susana Mohel is a new to me author. Rainstorm took me by surprise. The cover was the first thing I noticed about this book and it drew me in to read the blurb. It was a story that broke me in ways unimaginable.
Roselynn and Chase are a couple full of so much love and their sexual chemistry was off the charts. To see a couple with such a strong foundation crumble was heartbreaking. Relating with the couple through their journey of love, lust, heartbreak, acceptance and forgiveness hit me hard. The secondary character introduced has a story of her own that will intrigue you.
Susana Mohel has taken this story and found a way to captivate you and feel like you are the one caught up in the storm of heartbreak. But at the end of every storm there is a rainbow that will shed light to an unfortunate situation and make things brighter and better. That is what Susana delivered with this great story.
Roselynn and Chase are a couple full of so much love and their sexual chemistry was off the charts. To see a couple with such a strong foundation crumble was heartbreaking. Relating with the couple through their journey of love, lust, heartbreak, acceptance and forgiveness hit me hard. The secondary character introduced has a story of her own that will intrigue you.

Oh my gosh, so one minute I'm falling so in love with the love that Roselynn and Chase have. I'm living it with them, sighing and just going awwww and sighing some more than boom! I literally wanted to punch someone. I'm like WHYYYYY???? What are you doing???? Then back to WHY????? You're killing me!!!!! I needed to know what changed. I needed to know what in the world happened to change the dynamics of their relationship!!!
Honestly, I couldn't put the book down until I found out and then I had to find out what was going to happen next! Loved watching Roselynn becoming stronger than she was before. Stronger than she realized. Loved Ariel and watching her giving strength when needed and receiving it when she needed it.
First book by this author and need to look up other books by her.

Roselyn and Chase have a beautiful story to share but somewhere along the line Chase loses the plot and their story nearly comes undone at the seams .....
I laughed, I cried, I screamed, I begged and I pleaded .....I really loved their story 💕
At first I was a little irritated by the flipping between " six years ago" and " present day" BUT it has to happen this way so that you can fully feel these people, their lives and their journey 💕

Contemporary Romance; Second Chance Romance
First Person; dual-POV
Book #1 of The Perfect Storm series
Tears escape from my eyes like rain drops from the sky above, and sadly there is nothing I can do to stop the flood once it starts.
The rainstorm and I are becoming one.
by Rose
Addictiveness: 4/5 This wasn't an easy read. It was emotional, intense, real! I felt the need to breath a little. The story really resonated with me, but it wasn't a one sitting kind of read. As addictive as chocolate chip cookies!!!
Character: hero 3/5, heroine 5/5, secondary characters 5/5, growth 5/5, real 5/5 Multidimensional characters with multifaceted personalities that felt really believable.
I have really enjoyed Rose and truly connected with her. It was easy to put myself in her place and to feel what she was feeling. I've loved how she evolved through her divorce process. She was dealt a horrible hand, and she made the best out of it. She had a little TSTL moment, but who doesn't? Loved her!!! Real heroine!!!
I've liked Chase, I just haven't loved him. I know he was trying this selfless act, but NO. You cannot be marry for so many years, say you complete love and adore her and not really know this person. He was always thinking and talking about the physical part of their relationship, but at times I felt like he didn't explore true feelings. His love was huge, but sometimes it felt like he loved an ideal, not a person.
Ariel was everything a best friend should be. She was PERFECT! I hope next book will be hers.
All characters were easy connect and understand, even though with some were tough love!
Cover: art 5/5, title 5/5, color-font 5/5, buy 5/5 I’m obsessed with book covers. I love to find snippets of the stories within the art. This is amazing art work. In fact, this is a scene from the book. Is sexy but classy at the same time. I love the colors, the font and how everything feels a bit wet, like rain. I love the sentiment this cover gives. I would definitely buy this book by its cover, without reading the blurb.
Freshness: 4/5 This was refreshing. Different then most books out there. The author explored one voice in the present and one voice in the past, this way she gave us a full picture of their marriage. As fresh as mint tea!
Plot: believable 5/5, conflict 5/5, dialogue 3/5, ending 5/5, enjoyment 4/5, opening 5/5, pace 3.5/5, setting 5/5, subplots 5/5, twists 5/5 Amazing opening and wonderful ending. Very realistic plot with dialogues a bit too poetic for me. It wasn’t a fast-paced story, because the emotions were intense so, a bit of a struggle a few times. I loved the conflict, I was surprised by the unexpected twist. I've enjoyed this, even though it felt a lot. Great level of satisfaction!
Writing Style: 3.5/5 I've loved so many things about this book. I really felt a catharsis trough Rose's emotions. I easily connected with her and lived through her pain. I loved the concept of the story, of starting with a low, to build up to a high. I really liked the book, but the poetic writing didn't resonated with me a few times. I will definitely keep reading this series and see more from the author.
Romance: believable 3/5, chemistry 4/5, description 3/5, development 4/5, steam 3/5 This was a love journey. This is the story of how a true marriage works. It has its ups and downs and if you work with the flow you may came back even stronger from a storm. For all the emotions that I felt with this book, I had a problem to connect with the romance and all the poetic writing. I know it must be the author's writing style, but for sex, flirt and things like that it felt weird for me. Some things I truly prefer in their raw natural state. As hot as jalapeño pepper (medium heat)!!!
Being married for 22 years with my first love without having ever been through a real rainstorm in my marriage I've connected with Rose from the first moment. I was filled with what ifs and what would I have done. This book felt very real and true. A marriage is a work in progress, filled of rainy days. I also loved how Rose grew from that storm and would love to believe that I could too, if my storm ever came.
From one side I had this crazy cathartic experience, from the other my hard time liking the poetic style of writing for physical matters.
I loved the story, but didn't completely enjoyed it!!!
28/35 STARS – 4 STARS (between 28 stars and 31 stars)
Addictiveness: 4 Character: 4 Cover: 5 Freshness: 4 Plot: 4.5 Romance: 3 Writing Style: 3.5
Action 0/5
Angst 5/5
Darkness 0/5
Humor 0/5
Romance 5/5
Suspense/Mystery 2/5
Would I recommend? Sure, for everyone that enjoys angsty love.
Would I re-read this book/series? I don’t know if I would re-read the book, only time will tell. But I will definitely follow the series.
Would I read more from the author? Yes, I'm interested!
You MAY read this because you follow the author; you SHOULD read this because you like angst romance; you MUST read this for an emotional read!!!!

"Rainstorm took it away"
The performances of Isla Blackthorn & Gregory Salinas is fantastic. You can feel both characters emotions and how suck they are. I cried when...no spoilers cause its a big scene that will spoil the story. So yes this story made me cry and I got frustrated too. I wanted to grab both their head and smash them together ☔😆 This is when you know the narrators have done a great job on performaning Susan story and bring it to life
Chase & Rose's relationship is a true love story we see it in the past & present. BUT all of a sudden Chase wants a divorce and we learn why towards the end...no spoilers on the why.
I love her friend / neighbour Ariel. I hope she gets a story cause she a very mysterious character. If it weren't for this little angel these idiots wouldn't be together. She gave them a push they needed.
I promise this to you. There is a very happy ending but I won't spoil how they get there💙☔💙
☆MUST READ & LISTEN☆
This is realife love story and love always wins in the end.
I did not have the physical book I only have the audiobook. I like to have both the book and audio. So this was a first for me just the audio and it was wonderful experience

"Magic gives you the Purpose, but only hard work makes the result tangible. Dreams are meant to be accomplished."
Rose and Chase two lovers trapped in a storm by one's doing. Like a Hurricane that is meant to destroy when it hits can these two lovers find solace after the damage is done and the storm has cleared?
Chase is the egotistical man you love to hate, but you soon realize that not is all that it seems with him, can he fix what he has broken with the storm he caused or will all be lost in the eye of it? Rose has done all she can but when the hammering of the winds and the torrential rains batter her heart can she pick up the scattered pieces and live again or will she forever be lost?
Susana Mohel is an auto go to author for me, she captured my attention with Whispers of My Skin, and now she has Dazzled me with RainStorm. From page one i couldn't put this one down, her characters speak to you in a way that tear at your heart, some you wanna kill others you love. The supporting characters are witty and fun loving as well. I am anxiously awaiting so see where she goes with more of the characters in this series and what new ones she introduces us to.

So once again we have a book with a synopsis that does not deliver.
Rainstorm was supposed to be about the relationship and break down of the marriage of Chase and Roselynn.
Have you ever been on top of a hill?
As a reader that's what I felt when reading this. A panoramic view of this relationship.
It started well but it ended so predictably.
You get the impression from the opening chapter that Chase was cutting ties with "the love of his life" paving the way for another man to have what was his once.
He must protect her because he has to pay for his sins. He isn't doing this because he doesn't love her but he does madly, truly, wholly. So, as I settled down to read this to find out WHY what was causing this shit storm and why he wanted a divorce it turned out to be a big fat no!
When you find out the reason for his rationale to the divorce it was eye-rolling.
IF you love someone the way the author states these two did wouldn’t you share that secret and work through it together? Healing those wounds together in that strong relationship?
I felt the plot needed further explanation because the synopsis didn't deliver the full picture.

If you love emotional romances, this book is for you!
We dive into this second-chance story following a divorced couple as they rekindle their love in this wild ride. It's a romance that slowly reveals itself and slowly you want more and more.
I enjoyed reading the strength that they had between each other despite their troubling past.
I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Gut wrenching but oh so good
This author is new to me. This has all the feels to it. I was swept up in this halo of a perfect love that Chase speak of in the book. Then I am I am crying with anguish over the heartbreak Rose feels. I could not finish this book fast enough. So good. Can’t wait till the next book.

The cover for this book is gorgeous. It's what drew me in to wanting to read this story. Honestly though I didn't connect with the characters at all. I thought the story was ok nothing that really drew me in and griped me. I had high hopes for the story but it just didn't do it for me.
September 10, 2019
Absolutely loved this one. The story grabbed me from the first page, the characters are lovable, unique and powerful.
There were a few moments I wanted to punch something... I was so frustrated but at the end, Susana tied all in a huge pink bow what makes the story unforgettable.

Rainstorm by Susana Mohel is a second chance romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Isla Blackthorne and Gregory Salinas.
I originally read this book when it was first released and absolutely loved it. I really enjoyed getting the chance to hear it on audible as it really brings the story to life. The story took me on an emotional roller coaster. I loved that you get Chase and Roselynn points of views throughout the book.
This was the first book of Susana’s that I have read and definitely hasn’t been my last. I really enjoy The Perfect Storm series and cannot wait for more of the series to be released on audible.
Isla and Gregory did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would highly recommend this book if you love second chance romances or romance books in general.

Rainstorm was an all-consuming love story that captivated me from beginning to end! The love that Chase had for Rose was intense. As I read their story my heart hurt for them and their journey through the storm. Rainstorm by Susana Mohel is an EPIC read that will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!
