The drama and suspense was well-developed for the most part, especially with Regan trying to deal with the rejection of people like Colt’s crusty aunt and the “other woman.” I did feel like the final confrontation felt like a slightly weaker version of the one in the first book, with both involving the same type of character, this time with much weaker stakes.īut I did more or less enjoy this one, and look forward to anything Beverly Jenkins writes next. And I adore the sort of man who wants to put his daughter first.

Although it wasnt necessary to read Tempest before reading Wild Rain, it helped to refresh my.

Written by Beverly Jenkins Review by Sarah Johnson. The thought of having a bold, forthright woman like Regan in his life-and in his arms-begins to inspire a new dream.

Yet Regan is drawn to the unmistakable desire in his gaze. Colton, who buried his heart along with his first wife, insists he only wants someone to care for his daughter. Colton Lee in the shoulder is an honest error, but soon Regan wonders if her entire plan to marry a man she’s never met is a mistake.
