Rainshadow Road (Friday Harbor, #2)

by Lisa Kleypas

I loved this book a lot. It was my first Lisa Kleypas book I've read and I read it based on a recommandation off of reddit (I was looking for books where the heroin get's mistreated in some way and get's a moment of "look how much better I am doing") and it totally delivered! I loved Lucy, I love how she tries to stay positive and how she is doing her best to see the good in people. I loved Sam as well, how honest he was, how he was upfront about his wants and needs. Honestly, I was really really happy to see such a mature, nice communicating couple in a romance book, while still having the normal level of tension, problems and everything.

I was so scared when Kevin asked Sam to ask Lucy out, that this was going to be a big plot point in the end, where she finds this out and gets angry and everything, instead he was upfront to her about it. It was so incredibly refreshing!

I also enjoyed the very subtle magical aspect of it, it made it just the right amount of dreamy and fairy like, it was absolutely perfect and got me out of a really bad time. I'm very much planing on reading the rest of this series and then other books of Lisa Kleypas as well.
