Saving the Rain

Crimson Ridge, Book 4

De: Elliott Rose

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Dane Anderson

All it takes is eight seconds for your world to come crashing to a halt.

What happens when you're injured and stuck with the one man who makes your blood heat in a way you've never experienced before?

I've been on a path to redemption. Kayce Wilder, former screw-up. The bareback bronc rider with big dreams. I had it all figured out.

Only, I didn't count on a ride gone wrong to leave me with no other option than to ask for his help. Zeke Rainer. Raine. The gruff cowboy covered in tattoos, surrounded by mysteries.

We've been at odds forever. Rivals in the arena. Two rodeo riders in pursuit of the same buckle… before he left me behind, without warning.

My stepbrother.

When urgent help is needed to run the ranch, he's the last person I want to be relying on for a favor. As the fall nights lengthen, tension and angst thicken the more time we spend alone together.

I shouldn't be noticing so many small details—especially not how strong his hands look while working with the horses—and certainly shouldn't be wondering if he thinks about me as much as I think about him.

I've never been attracted to a man before.

It would be insanity to be drawn to him. Wouldn't it?

The most touching love story

This was prob the best love story I have read/listened to this year, maybe even ever. The narrators made the story come alive and they did an amazing job! Teddy Hamilton can do no wrong. I loved Kayces story, It was so emotional and touching. I rated this book all the ⭐️s.

What a story…Raine is DADDY

I really loved this story. For some reason I wanted find a mm cowboy romance, and man does this deliver. Kayce and Raine have the grittiest, hottest, healing romance. Kayce is broken and Raine is isolated, they’re estranged stepbrothers, but are drawn to each other after running into each other at an event. When it goes down…it goes down and 🤭🔥🔥🔥. Cowboy/stepbrothet trope? Why aren’t there more of these!?!?

Teddy as Kayce is perfect, and Dane is perfect as Raine. Someone’s review mentioned there are a few times when Dane’s “Kayce” voice sounds like Smegal from LOTR, and I totally caught it. It only happens a very few times very quickly, but it does disturb the flow and vibe. I giggled and moved on.

100% worth the credit!

Best duo ever

You have to listen to the audiobook!! Teddy & Dane are utter perfection! They are the perfect duo. The plot, spice and writing in this book was already so good. But the voice actors made this elite!! I listened to this in one day. Im obsessed with Kayce and Raine. Idk how you pick a favorite couple in this series but if I had to they might be it!! You have to read the extended epilogue!! Trust me!! Im so saad this series is over.

Overall it was good

I enjoyed the storyline and the characters in this book. It was entertaining but slightly predictable. What I didn’t like was when Raine’s narrator (Dane Anderson) would voice Kayce’s dialogue. I enjoyed how he did Raine but he made Kayce sound strange. Of course Teddy Hamilton was amazing as always.

Emotional, Steamy, and Perfectly Narrated

Saving the Rain was a phenomenal finale to the Crimson Ridge series. Kayce and Raine’s story is emotional, tender, and heartbreakingly raw, yet full of healing, spice, and deep love. The audiobook narration was outstanding—Teddy Hamilton (Kayce) and Dane Anderson (Raine) brought these characters to life with so much passion and authenticity that I felt every moment in my heart. A beautiful, steamy, and unforgettable listen!

Dane’s narration for Kayce threw me off

Loved the book and loved majority of the narration, but in the “Raine” sections, Kayce’s voice was so so cringe for me 🙈 I love both of these narrators but was so turned off by how Dane narrated Kayces voice :/ (maybe I’m just a sucker for a Duet narration lol)

Found family fun

I really loved the beginning of this! The way Kayce and Raine had this underlying tension you knew came from something not being shared yet. As their past is revealed each of these men gain a little depth to their character. Kayce is still a lost, confused kid in so many ways who needs some serious work on himself! Raine is growly and protective and just can’t help himself when Kayce ask him to just make his head stop spinning. Lots of things I loved but the end went way to off the rails for me. By 91% I want my epilogue not another unnecessary dramatic event. I honestly skimmed over chapters 47 and 48 because it was too melodramatic.

The narrators did a great job bringing these two to life! I listened at 2.5 speed because Dane’s voice doesn’t work for me otherwise but still good!

Loved but could’ve been even better

⭐️ Story: 5/5
🔥 Spice: 3.5/5
🎧 Narration: 4.5/5

I loved every second of this book. My only gripe? I wish the author had sprinkled in more reasoning for why Rain treated Case like crap for so long. It felt like we jumped straight from Rain hating him to suddenly wanting him. A little more internal conflict—Rain wrestling with his feelings earlier—would’ve made the relationship feel more fleshed out. That really only kicks in after they start their relationship, so it felt a little left-field at first.

Narration: Teddy and Dane did an amazing job bringing the story to life. The only minor annoyance was Dane’s drawn-out whispery delivery. I bumped his parts to 1.5x speed, and it was much better. Still, overall, a great performance.

Saving the rain

I love the book But it took really long for them to realize their feelings for each other

Rain + Kayce 😍

I absolutely loved Saving The Rain. Kayce’s journey was raw, emotional, and deeply authentic. From the very beginning, I was drawn into his inner world—his quiet strength, his vulnerability, and the weight of everything he was carrying. His struggle with his sexuality felt so real and honest, never forced or dramatized for effect.

As the layers of both Kayce and Rain’s pasts were slowly revealed, my heart broke for them. The way their experiences shaped who they are as adults was written with so much care and emotional depth. The complexity of their circumstances added tension and heartache, but also made their connection feel even more meaningful.

I found myself rooting for them every step of the way—through the fear, the tenderness, and the hope. This is a story that stays with you, and I’m so glad I listened to it. The narration by Teddy Hamilton and Dane Anderson was great!
