Release Blitz - Playing in the Rain by Jane Harvey-Berrick

Synopsis

Ava Lawton can’t believe her run of bad luck. It’s supposed to be an exciting time in her life: fresh out of college, living in a new state, with a new job, and away from her family at last.

But when she’s forced to quit her job, everything falls apart quickly. Suddenly, she’s alone in a crowd, with no one to turn to.

At her lowest point, a stranger gives her a message that brings her hope.

Now is the time to live life her own way.

Now is the time to choose to be happy.

And maybe it’s time to let a beautiful stranger be part of her life.




What a sweet and heartfelt story. I liked Ava and Cody from the beginning, they seemed to connect straight away, it was sweet. Cody is sweet and respectful with a hint of "wanna be bad boy". Ava knew what she wanted in life but her sucky boss forced her hand and she ended up losing her job. 

The part in this story when Cody handed Ava her note telling her she is beautiful. *Swoon* made me love Cody! and boy, was I shocked by Cody's confession of his age, bless him. I was hoping that the age gap(note that by the way) wouldn't affect Ava's decision to do a some-what 'bucket list' that summer. I love the things that were on the list and I loved the way Cody and Ava's friendship grew into a relationship. The way that Ava was bringing out the lust in our sweet innocent Cody, awesome.

A tissue warning should have been given for the way this book ended. I know there was something up with Cody by the way he held certain things back but I wasn't expecting what happened. (Insert heartbreak)

Excerpt

And there we saw the sunset.

My mouth dropped open as a blaze of red and orange burned the sky, setting the mesa alight in an astonishing display of nature or God or some deity more powerful, older, more mesmerizing than anything I had seen.

I think I gasped, and clutched Cody’s arm, our silence more meaningful than any words could have been. A deep stillness filled me as I watched the cycle of day to night, as the earth turned. And I was part of it; together we were part of it. My problems seemed small and ridiculous and I promised myself that this was where my life started again: this day, this moment, with this man at my side—if he’d have me.

MeetTheAuthor


 

I started writing contemporary romance two years ago. Before that, I didn’t think I could write a sex scene. Turns out I can!

My lucky number is 13 because I was born on the 13th and live near a haunted castle by the ocean. My number one past-time is watching hot surfers get changed into (and out of) their wetsuits.

My husband doesn’t read my books. My mother does.

Writing is my love, my hobby, my total addiction. All my characters are important to me and whisper their stories, even when I’ve finished writing their books. That’s why you’ll often find bonus chapters/out-takes from various books, because those voices just won’t be quiet.  You can also visit Jane on her Amazon Page.
