{book review} The Promise of Rayne by Nicole Deese

Today I want to tell you about a gorgeous book I just finished that comes out TODAY! There I was, trying to finish writing my novella, when this story came and knocked my socks off. “Unputdownable” is the proper adjective I would use.

About the book:

Rayne Shelby has spent her entire life trying to earn the approval of her high-powered family, with the hope of one day managing her late grandfather’s prestigious Idaho lodge. But when she makes a mistake that puts her future in jeopardy, she faces an impossible choice: defy her family or deny her dream. The only way to fix the mess she’s created is to enlist the help of her neighbor, Levi, the apprentice of her family’s greatest enemy. And if Rayne gets caught crossing the divided property lines, the consequences will be irreparable.

Levi Harding has never forgotten the August night he shared with Rayne when they were teens—or the way she later rejected him. Despite his warring instincts, he can’t ignore her plea for help or the spark that’s ignited between them. But now, as wildfires bear down on their town and family secrets are revealed, their newfound alliance might just go up in smoke.

My review:

Jiminy. Nicole Deese has truly become one of my must-read authors, and just when I think her stories can’t be any more artfully written, the layers of story and complexity (and chemistry!!) of her characters so masterfully executed, the next story releases.

I loved The Promise of Rayne, couldn’t put it down (like I said), and credit the author for her ability to make readers empathize with these characters in such a rare way. More books, please!
