“You are the kind of girl who deserves to be kissed in the rain.”

This follows Reese Walker, 37, a brilliant musician and teacher. With the loss of his family and the fresh heartache of the woman he loved on his mind, he is tackling each day as it comes. Then along comes Sarah Henderson, 21, an incredible pianist needing help to find herself again. She is broken and damaged just as much as he is. Can they heal together?

What an emotional read. I loved reading Reese’s happily ever after. The anxiety I felt in the first two books—this man deserves the world. Both are going through a lot, and Sarah is so strong. I'm glad Reese could show her what it’s like to feel and be loved. I love how her mum was so accepting, patient, and open to difficult conversations. Be mindful of the contents and themes when diving into this. Also, the audiobook is brilliant; I recommend it.
