Publisher's summary

A multiple RITA nominee, Karen White crafts engrossing stories that have found a special place in the hearts of fans nationwide. After The Rain stars freelance photographer Suzanne Paris. On her own since the age of 14, Suzanne has no intention of settling down in tiny Walton, Georgia. But to her surprise, Walton residents have a way of making even reluctant guests feel right at home. And the new connections she builds come in handy when a dark figure from her past returns, determined to ruin her life.

Happy Endings

I was happy to discover this sequel to Falling Home. I loved the characters in both stories & enjoyed finding out what happened to them after the first story. I'm also a sucker for happy endings. I have not read a Karen White book that wasn't awesome!

Nice story

This was a nice follow up to the first book. I loved the story and all the characters and was glad to find out what happened to everyone after the first book.

Couldn't finish

Probably the worst Karen White I've listened to. I stopped it before it was over.

Excited to jump in the car to listen!

Great book! All of Karen White's books for far, I have enjoyed. There was some suspense, which was great, and the book kept going forward with new surprises. Narration was good, will listen again! Suzanne Paris is to hard on herself and had a troubled childhood. Things work themselves out - glad I purchased!

My favorite Karen White, (so far)

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Definitely, this was a sequel to Falling Home which was also quite good. This was even better. I liked the character development, the love story, re-visiting my friends from Falling Home, the deep friendships, and character growth and development. I also fell in love with the small town and folks who made up it.

Karen White does not spend page after page on the love scenes, just enough to be interesting but not so much that you loose the story, Don't get me wrong I am a fan of Shades of Grey but many romance novels can repeat themselves so much that I want to fast forward to get back to the story.

Have you listened to any of Jennifer Van Dyke’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Great job on narration

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

The audio was hard to put down. I listened to it in my car and then did chores in the house so I could keep listening, taking it from room to room with me.

Any additional comments?

I have listened to 3 Karen White books so far and am ready to order another.

Not her best.

I love Karen White books, but this one was not her best, The narrator's fake Southern accent was bad, and very distracting. The characters were not given enough depth, and it was hard to relate to any of the characters. Save your money.

Enjoyed it.

I love Karen White. It was a little slow at first, but ended well. That’s all I had to say, but I had to get 15 words for a review.lol

Always love Karen White's books

Once again Karen White delivered a good story, based in a clearly described Southern setting with characters that came to life.
