Rain Shadow by Tess Oliver

4.0

I am a huge fan of Tess Oliver's Custom Culture series, so I was excited to get a copy of this new book from the author to read for a review. This first book of her new Barringer Brothers series was a good start to this story. In the beginning, Luke "Reno" Barringer is lying in the desert, barely aware of how he got there, with no idea of who he is and without the strength to get up and move. Angel rescues Reno and brings him home with her to the compound she lives at with her grandfather and other members of his motorcycle gang. Once they get inside the compound, Reno and Angel have to wonder if she has really rescued him when Angel's grandfather reacts badly to Reno being in his home. Reno must remember who he is and how he got to the desert if he wants to avoid further harm. Over the days at the compound, Angel and Reno begin to develop feelings for each other, despite his memory loss, and Angel's grandfather working against them. The Custom Culture books felt more developed, and the characters more believable. However, this story ended with a cliffhanger, so with this being a small piece of the overall story, I will definitely wait to read more to see how this story goes. I still really enjoyed Angel and Reno's characters and have a feeling and each story continues, so will the development of their love.
