Rainy Day Friends
Rainy Day Friends: A Novel | Jill Shalvis
First Time in Print! Following the USA Today bestselling author of Lost and Found Sisters comes Jill Shalvis' moving story of heart, loss, betrayal, and friendship. Six months after Lanie Jacobs husbands death, its hard to imagine anything could deepen her sense of pain and loss. But then Lanie discovers she isnt the only one grieving his sudden passing. A serial adulterer, he left behind several other women who, like Lanie, each believe she was his legally wedded wife. Rocked by the infidelity, Lanie is left to grapple with searing questions. How could she be so wrong about a man she thought she knew better than anyone? Will she ever be able to trust another person? Can she even trust herself? Desperate to make a fresh start, Lanie impulsively takes a job at the family-run Capriotti Winery. At first, she feels like an outsider among the boisterous Capriottis. With no real family of her own, shes bewildered by how quickly they all take her under their wing and make her feel like she belongs. Especially Mark Capriotti, a gruffly handsome Air Force veteran turned deputy sheriff who manages to wind his way into Lanies cold, broken heartalong with the rest of the clan. Everything is finally going well for her, but the arrival of River Brown changes all that. The fresh-faced twenty-one-year old seems as sweet as they comeuntil her dark secrets come to lightsecrets that could destroy the new life Lanies only just begun to build.

Book 2 was also really good. This may be one of my favorite series ever so far. Mark, Lanie, River, and all of the characters were so likable.

#AwesomeAugust @Andrew65 second book read
I am conflicted with this book because I liked Lanie and River, and I related to Lanie's anxiety and thought it was portrayed well. But the man-worhship in this book made me roll my eyes and hate straight people. We're all supposed to bow down and kiss the cop/ military man's ass for doing his job and being a father. Dude, you don't get a cookie.

Andrew65 Love the cover. Well done. 👏👏👏 4y

What's worse than losing your husband of 5 years? Realizing he was a bigamist! Thankfully, he's already dead, and there's a town called Wildstone where the loud, loving, and laughing Capriotti family run a winery, and the men are stupid hot. Here Lanie (Wife #1) and River (Wife #4 or #5?) end up, both having huge trust issues that can only be melted away by super attractive and fit men that Wildstone grows as it's main import.

What's worse than losing your husband of 5 years? Realizing he had others wives he married after you. Thankfully, there's a town full of hot men where 2 of the wives end up. Almost done with this Shalvis audiobook!

Finished this one late last night. Luckily, it's my late day at work today because I kept meaning to stop to go to sleep but kept reading til I finished it. As with all her books, I found myself laughing, tearing up a little, and falling in love with the main and secondary characters.
On another note, I have a new part time reading buddy. This is 8-week-old Roxie. Almost same size as book! Sweet as can be. Adopted by my dad this weekend.

Suzze Roxie is adorable! 6y
tracey38 @Suzze She really is! So sweet, loves to play and also sleep. And she's a little like a bunny because she also likes to hop. 😍 6y
AmyG Oh, are you reading a book? I was too busy looking at your adorable dog!!! ❤️ 6y

Before I go to sleep, I'm starting this one. I love this author. She's pretty much the only author of straight romance I read. And this cover is the essense of summer, isn't it? I know this will be a fun, quick read. Her books always make me laugh, too. 🌻

Lovesbooks87 This was such a great book. I love Jill Shalvis!!! 6y
tracey38 @Lovesbooks87 me, too! She's an auto-buy for me. 6y

I loved this book and didn't want to put it down. I fell in love with the Lanie and Mark from the very beginning. Lanie husband died six months ago but what she didn't know was that her husband was cheating on her and had other wives. She decides to take a job at a winery and try to start her life over. But she doesn't know is that she is about to meet the love of her life and one of her husbands other wives.

Lovesbooks87 First book in the #8intwo readathon! 6y
tracey38 I love her books and can't wait to get this one! 6y
Lovesbooks87 @tracey38 it was amazing! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! 6y

This is a great romance. Real life issues and real life feelings. Humor and family. Finally! I had just about given up on the romance genre (other than a few faves). I got this as a review copy through librarything. I had to talk myself into reading it...but so worth it!

1. Just one? My neighbor being passive aggressive about how often I cut the grass.
2. Book or movie.
3. I‘ve already read this one but the others I‘m excited about aren‘t on Litsy yet. 🤷🏻‍♀️
4. Double dark chocolate Milano. It‘s been a rough week.

If I got a chance to take a temporary job that required me living at a winery with the Capriotti family I‘d jump on it in a heartbeat!!!

Living with a great cast of characters among beautiful scenery is a perfect place for a young widow to both heal and start-over.

Look for this fun, heart-warming read June 18

Suddenly there‘s an over abundance of military references in the books I‘m reading! 🙆‍♀️ 😊 #MilitaryMom

bookandbedandtea I hear ya! I'm more sensitive to those than I used to be. By the way, I ordered Be Safe, Love Mom but I haven't started it yet because I feel like I may have to read it in small bites. I'll be interested to hear what you or @BookNerd9906 think if either of you get to it first. 7y
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea That‘s what I‘m wondering — am I sensitive to it, or is the universe supporting me some how lol .... I also ordered Be Safe, but I‘m not going to read it until she leaves; I‘m afraid I might not let her leave, esp since she switched to the army. Will def share my thoughts when I do read it though! 7y
