Reseñas de la Crítica

"Renée Carlino's writing is deeply emotional and full of quiet power. You won't be disappointed." (Joanna Wylde, New York Times best-selling author)

Perfect.

Well written and heart wrenching. Renee Carlino is one one my favorites. Her stories are thorough and real. Loved this hero and heroine.

Touching Tale of Self Discovery & Growth

Any additional comments?

After the Rain is a touching tale of self discovery and learning to move forward in the wake of heartache.

Avelina and Nate were mostly likeable and my heart hurt for all that each endured. I enjoyed their banter and they shared a palpable chemistry. The story had some lulls but my heart was invested in knowing the outcome. The dual POV provided a nice change when things seemed to drag a bit.

While I liked the story and the characters, the melancholy tone throughout the book dampened my overall enjoyment. I want to experience the emotions of the characters. I just need it to be a somewhat balanced experience of the emotional spectrum and this did not work for me personally. Though it's not my favorite from Renee, it does not change my immense adoration for this author and her work.

Yes, this was a story I was interested in reading when I first read the summary.

Any additional comments?

I thought this was an OK story. I liked Kris's performance 100%. I however didn't always enjoy Abby's. He male voices were a bit much for me if I'm being honest.

OhMGee!!!!

I absolutely love this story from start to finish. It had so many emotional moments, but I love them all. I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook.

Audible Romance Rocks!!!!

Good story, but….

I wish I would’ve read this instead of listening. It was a bit slow for me. The story was great. Certainly got me in all my feelings.
