When It Pours

The McGuire Brothers

De: Lili Valente

Narrado por: Lili Valente, Robert Hatchet

Truth or Dare: Tell the One-Who-Got-Away that you're still madly in love with him OR spend the night trapped with him in a hunting lodge that's about to be swept downstream?

Ha! Trick Question. I get to do BOTH! Because when it rains, it pours.

First, I call Theo McGuire to tell him that I've always loved him and I always will--at least for the next few hours until Pippa Jane the Pig and I are swallowed by the floodwaters. Then, I open the second story window when Theo comes knocking in his kayak, in a likely doomed attempt to save us.

Soon, we're trapped in the cabin where we had our first time fifteen years ago and all I can think about is how much I wish I could turn back the clock. If I could, I'd never let this fiercely kind and sexy-as-hell man go.

Since this could be The End, we agree to make our last night a night to remember.

But what happens when morning dawns, we're both still breathing, and I can't bear to think of a life without my favorite McGuire?

🤣❤️Lili Valente has done it again! Another great series with the most amazing animals and amazing characters❣️

I love Lili Valente's writing. She has become one of my favorite authors. Not only do her books keep you thoroughly entertained and engaged, but they leave you feeling upbeat. She doesn't rely on swearing to demonstrate the emotions of her characters as so many of the authors are doing now, where everytime a character has any emotion good or bad it's the f*bomb, goddamn, or both. On the rare occasion she does, it is a flawless fit with the moment and the storyline. I really like when she is one of the narrators.

Influencer vs small town life

The pet pig was my favorite part. The romance, on the other hand, was merely alright. She’s an influencer, who left her home town without a backward glance, or explanation in Theo’s case.
I get that she was young when she first left, but even at present day she’s all about running away because she can’t deal with haters. He does all the bending and supporting, making it a one-sided couple that I only half-rooted for. Maybe my failure to connect is what made the single sex scene a dud.

As much as I like this author, it seems this series is big on one-night stands, pet-comedy, and cute kids. College aged me might have loved these, but present-day me finds these on the immature end.
