KISSES IN THE RAIN

by Krista Lynne Jensen

Georgie Tate is a survivor. She's survived an abusive relationship. She's survived the car accident that took the life of her controlling fiancé. Now she just needs to survive the memories that haunt her. Escaping to her aunt's cozy home on a tiny island outside of Seattle, Georgie finds just the change of pace she needs to pick up the pieces of her life. Taking a job at a local seafood restaurant is the first step in reclaiming her sense of self, but she is completely unprepared for the battle that awaits her there.

Jace Lowe has loved and lost, and he's determined that it will never happen again. Hardened by heartbreak, he stays focused on his work as a sous chef at one of the island's top seafood restaurants. When beautiful Georgie takes her place on the restaurant's staff, Jace is resolved to keep her at arm's length, and his downright rudeness her first week goes a long way in achieving that goal. Georgie, on the other hand, doesn't want anything to do with Jace anyway and prickles against his abrasive behavior. As the combative pair comes together on a joint project for the restaurant, they find their distaste for one another dwindling. The connection is undeniable, and it terrifies them both. Can two people jaded by the past be softened by the promise of once-in-a-lifetime love, or is this just another recipe for disaster?

My Review

I love how real this story is!

Two people feeling broken from their past--coming together to work on a common goal--And while in each other's company they relax and find a peace and a happiness and a completeness...

But yet the past still haunts them and they still have much to work on--yet isn't that how life is?

This story was written with a passion that expresses the plot beautifully.

A roller-coaster of feelings and awkward moments and saying the wrong thing and hurtful moments and trying to live up to someone else's expectations and finding strength of oneself and finding love with someone else.

I LOVED each page!
I HIGHLY recommend this book!

She never day-dreams about laundry.

About the Author
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was born in Utah, raised in Washington, married in Oregon, and now spend my perfectly temperate summers and very long winters in the mountains of Wyoming with my brilliant educator husband and four amazingly loud children. Really, I don't know where they get it because I didn't raise my voice until my second son was born. The child was a happy tornado who thought "No" meant "Oh what an angel". I enjoy cooking, gardening, camping, travel, all kinds of music, and my friends and family.

I have always loved reading and writing, as so many writers do, and it's always been a part of me. I was naturally shy, but found I could say exactly what I meant if I wrote it down. At times, my only outlet was a pen and paper. I pursued an Art Major at Brigham Young University, with a minor in either Ballroom Dance or English. I was one of those people who had no idea who they were at that age.

In 1992, I married a scholar/football player and we started our family. I was at home while my husband taught, coached, and furthered his endless education, as so many educators do.
Life hit, rocked, and rolled us, we managed to survive. My family was my life.

I've been blessed with a huge support group inside and outside my family. Writers are the most unselfish, funny, supportive, insane people I know. Which is why we bleed onto paper and then send it out into the world for all to judge.

I am learning everything I can. I've found a passion for a lifetime. I would have never thought. Life is a surprise. But I finally know who I am. I'll do my part.

I recently told a friend, "Life can be really short, so if you can swing it, do the big things."

I meant every word.
