SYNOPSIS

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a deeply emotional contemporary romance about the second chances waiting beyond the shattered dreams of youth.

Under the bright arena lights of a rodeo show, young Avelina Belo falls for a handsome cowboy with a larger-than-life personality. After a whirlwind courtship, she happily moves away from her family in northern California and settles into married life with her cowboy on a seven-thousand-acre cattle ranch in Montana. One freak accident later, Avelina’s hopes for the future come to an end.

Nate Myers graduated from UCLA medical school at the top of his class, ready to follow in the footsteps of his father, a superstar cardiothoracic surgeon. Six years later, Nate’s career is being ruined by a malpractice suit. Questioning himself for the first time, he retreats to a Montana cattle ranch to visit his uncle and gain perspective. There, he meets a beautiful young woman named Avelina who teaches him more than he ever knew about matters of the heart.

Mike’s Review

[usr 5]

After the Rain left me with such a book hangover!

It starts off so sweet and then crashes into a flaming wreck of heartache only to repeat the process a couple more times. It’s funny and heartfelt and sad all at the same time throughout most of the book.

“His name is Tequila because he’s the only horse you can ride when you’re shit-faced drunk”

And then we get to almost the ending. Where the most pointless of problems gets in the way. I’ll be honest, it’s one of my biggest pet peeves to see in a book. But I don’t want to spoil the details for you. It took a little time for it to sit with me before I was able to get over my annoyance for that part but the end result is sweet and charming and all puppies and rainbows kind of “awww” to it.

“If I blink, will you disappear?”

So grab this one and experience all the feels!
