Midnight Rain

A Those Who Wait Story

De: Haley Cass

Narrado por: Lori Prince

What if . . .

What if Charlotte didn't decide to come out in Those Who Wait? What if she and Sutton didn't get back together? How would that one decision alter the course of their lives, forever?

Charlotte Thompson appears to have it all—by forty, her political plans are panning out exactly as she'd always hoped. Now a senator, she quietly came out a couple of years ago, and she's on-track to fulfilling everything she'd ever dreamed of. Perhaps she is a little lonely sometimes, but as the saying goes: it's lonely at the top.

Sutton Spencer has finally found her footing after her divorce. She's a tenured literature professor, she loves her daughter more than anything, and she's accepted the harsh truth of the world: maybe she simply isn't meant to find lasting romantic love.

They've both put their ill-fated affair from over a decade ago behind them, until a surprise reunion results in their paths intertwining once more.

Maybe some things are meant to be in every universe . . .

Haley Cass At it again!

amazing ! read it while on Patreon but was waiting for the amazing Lori Prince's narration! gawd I loved it so much and makes me love love even more!!

love

I love this version of this story. This version is more realistic.I love who Sutten became in this version. This version of motherhood looks great on her.

I hope more will come for those who wait!

I am completely enamored with Sutton and Charlotte in any version Haley gives us! Lori Prince provides yet another amazing performance! I didn’t know how this would work knowing the other stories but it was beautifully done!

Exceeded all expectations

I was initially hesitant because I love Charlotte and Sutton so deeply and didn’t want to entertain a world where Charlotte didn’t go after Sutton. I just couldn’t see myself liking it. Turns out, I couldn’t have been more wrong. I love it! It’s impossible not to adore the dynamic Lucy brings to the story! The maturity of each character adds such richness to this universe. Honestly, feels crazy to say, but I like this ending better! HC did an incredible job and Lori Prince is perfection, per usual. Well done ladies!

Heart wrenching

What’s a beautiful novel in second chance. So beautifully written and I couldn’t put the audio or book down. Tears flowed, heart opened, perfect example how imperfect love really is

Awesome alternative timeline for Sutton and Charlotte

Amazing concept to take a beloved novel as TWW and turn the world upside down and gives us such a sweet angsty at time story absolutely loved it Lori Prince is a gem !!!!

DARLING

I have to admit 3 things...1. This is my first review. 2. I am new to romance novels, especially the WLW genre 3. I read the book twice and have listened to the audio book 3 times.
***Also, I've listened to every one of Cass and her partner Monica's books and, I like how they someway, mention the titles of their previous books in the current books ***

Charlotte showed up in this novel, Darlings. She has always been mature, but, career driven and we can't fault her for that. This woman loved Sutton and showed her by communicating and being there emotionally and physically.

Sutton, this woman....has gone from vulnerable grad student to a loving mom. Im glad we got to see that side of her, (even though we saw it in the novella). I love that she was super protective of her heart and was cautious about moving forward with Charlotte. I would have, too. Charlotte SHATTERED her heart. I love Sutton's loyalty to Charlotte and even her ex wife.

supporting characters: Regan and Emma are the friends we all need.I love Sutton's mom Katherine. Lucy Katherine, brilliant just like both of her mothers. I wish we would have seen more interaction with Lucy as a teen and Charlotte. Last but not least, Former POTUS, Elizabeth Thompson, the letter to Charlotte had been BAWLING. I felt like the letter was written specifically for me as there are so relatable characteristics of Charlotte that I see in myself. Thanks for an amazing book. Please give us more Sutton and Charlotte content. I love how they love each other and so glad they were finally, On The Same Page💜💜💜.

Lori Prince, your voice had me feeling all of the emotions.

What an amazing alternative story.

I loved this, almost as much as the first book. I wish these characters never ended.

More please

The storyline the romance the narration all is so beautifully done and so wroth the wait!!!

2 DIFFERENT ENDINGS

2 different endings! I love this! Listened to both books (part 2’s) and it was great listening to the “what if” endings. Loved it!
