Rainy Day Friends by Jill Shalvis

Rainy Day Friends (Wildstone, #2)

by Jill Shalvis

Rainy Day Friends is the second Wildstone novel from New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis, a moving story of heart, loss, betrayal and friendship, for fans of Susan Mallery, Kristan Higgins and Robyn Carr.

It's time to learn to trust again... Six months after her husband's death, it's hard to imagine anything could deepen Lanie Jacobs' sense of pain and loss. But then she discovers she isn't the only one grieving his passing. A serial adulterer, he left behind several other women who also believed they were his legally wedded wife.

Desperate to make a fresh start, Lanie impulsively takes a job at the family-run Capriotti Winery. At first, she feels like an outsider among the boisterous Capriottis but slowly comes to feel like she belongs, especially when Mark Capriotti, a gruffly handsome Air Force veteran turned deputy sheriff, manages to wind his way into Lanie's cold, broken heart.

Everything is going well for her, until the arrival of River Brown. The fresh-faced twenty-one year old seems as sweet as they come...until her dark secrets come to light - secrets that could destroy the new life Lanie's only just begun to build.

Return to Wildstone in Lost and Found Sisters and The Good Luck Sister and check out Jill's warm, funny Heartbreaker Bay novels, visit gorgeous Cedar Ridge, spellbinding Lucky Harbor or experience some Animal Magnetism in Sunshine, Idaho in Jill's other unforgettable series.

I really do love Shalvis and her books. This one was very sweet and cute, and I love the addition of kids to the stories! I find kids kind of making everything more fun in books haha My maybe one complaint is that the ending felt very forced. Like, Laine is talking to the baby VERY SPECIFICALLY so that Mark would hear her true feelings in a roundabout way. Also, why are they talking forever so quickly, and why did she get pregnant literally two months later??? It's way too fast haha



I found a signed book by one of my favorite authors *^*

This is not the edition tho, it has a different ISBN.
