Publisher's Summary

Rayne Amber Storm finds her serenity on the waters of her Louisiana bayou. The moss-covered cypress trees are a canopy of protection for the thoughts that are her own. Slowly, a gentle, insistent ripple of difference stirs within her. A ripple that leads her away from her mother's Southern Baptist values to thoughts that betray the very core of what she believes is right and wrong.

When she leaves the bayou for medical school, the ripple expands until she is knocked unsteady by a powerful wave in the charismatic Samantha LeJeune. But when tragedy strikes back home, the pull of crosscurrents traps Rayne in what seems an insurmountable struggle between her heart, which now knows the true meaning of happiness, and doing what she has been taught all her life.

Is she strong enough to keep navigating through unfamiliar but thrilling waters or will she give in and paddle down the path of least resistance?

When It Raynes was originally released in general contemporary lesbian fiction for which it received a 2015 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention and was a 2016 Golden Crown Literary Society Finalist for the Ann Bannon Popular Choice Award.

For, as proud as CD Cain was of the story, she always felt she left something missing from the original publication. So, she went back to the keyboard and revised the powerful love story of Rayne and Sam to publish as a lesbian romance with Fleur-De-Lis Books.

Incomplete

The first 2 hours were fabulous descriptive writing in which a world was created which thoroughly drew me in. The characters were richly written with depth.

Sadly the plot and characters descended into melodrama. I felt toyed with and then the story ended without resolution of any issues. It seems we must await further books in the series

It’s not a total loss but don’t buy until the rest of the series is released

This is the first audio book I have listened to. I had already read this book and the following books in the sequel before.

I love the book, and now the audio version as I feel the author shows great care in writing Rayne's story. The dedication Rayne has to her meemaw, her town and her state along with her determination to become a doctor. I have laughed and stopped to think and ponder over scenes in the book.

I will read and listen to the audio again. I can't wait for the next two to be converted to audio and the final instalment.
