FALLING FOR RAINE

by Lane Hayes

Release Date: February 27, 2024

Review

Ah man, Raine really is a hot mess! But he makes up for it with charm.


Falling for Raine was easy. Everyone did. But to know him, cherish him, love him and be loved by him was a gift beyond measure.


I thoroughly enjoyed witnessing Graham, the grumpy CEO be charmed by the hilariously chaotic Raine. It’s a romance between two men, and of Cornwall.


Graham is your quintessential businessman, the kind where his business is his first or only love. But when you learn the reason behind it, it will make you want to growl, and possibly help plot revenge.


But Raine also helps take Graham out of that singular mindset and opens his eyes to living and enjoying things (and people) around him.


Like all good boss/employee, grumpy/sunshine stories, there is plenty of push and pull, and attempts to stay arm's length apart (at least emotionally).


This was a lovely rom-com in a beautiful area of the world.

Synopsis

The gentleman, the hot mess, and a little British adventure…


Raine


Moving to London is scary and daunting, but I desperately need this job–and a redo. Okay, so I may have oversold my qualifications. That shouldn’t be a big deal, though. I mean, being an assistant’s assistant seems easy enough, and I’m a fast learner.


Hold up!


I’m already in over my head with spreadsheets, new pronunciations, and temperamental appliances. And just as I’m mentally preparing to face going home early, the big boss offers me an opportunity I can’t refuse. And I definitely should because Graham Horsham is an infuriating, complicated grumpy bear with a razor-sharp tongue, a wickedly dry sense of humor, and…I like him far too much.



Graham


I’ve been bamboozled. I’m not quite sure how I ended up with an assistant who spills coffee daily, wears wrinkled shirts, and chatters nonstop. He can’t stay, but I don’t want him to go and that’s madness. The Horsham Group is closing one of our biggest deals ever and I won’t jeopardize it. This one is personal.


Yet so is Raine.


He’s a breath of fresh air—silly, impetuous, lighthearted, good-natured, and…quite lovely. I like him more than I want to admit. For some reason, I can let my guard down with him. It’s unnerving and probably unprofessional.


But not to worry…I will not, under any circumstances, fall for Raine.



Falling for Raine is an MM, age-gap romance featuring a British silver fox, a desperate but adorable American, and a UK adventure!

REVIEW: Hateful Love by T. Ashleigh & Addison Beck (King of Aces #1)

  HATEFUL LOVE King of Aces - Book One by T. Ashleigh & Addison Beck Release Date: February 1, 2024 Review That was a freakin’ fantastic story! This book is on the longer side, so when I went to bed to read at 8 pm I knew I wouldn’t finish it all.  Well, that was a lie I told myself because let me tell you, I barely even noticed when the clock chimed midnight and I was still reading. I was so utterly engrossed in this story that I could have been on fire and not noticed. Firstly, the prologue…wow, so touching, and gave such a fantastic incite into Silas. It’s a common story, two guys from different ‘sides of the track’ hate one another. Prejudices run high, assumptions are made. It would be difficult to imagine them ever being civil to one another, let alone falling in love. When I reached 50% I was thinking, okay, this is good, but I can’t imagine what’s left to cover over 200 pages…but let me tell you, that is when things really heated up and you knew you wouldn’t be put...

REVIEW: Resting Beach Face by DJ Jamison (Swallow Cove #4)

  RESTING BEACH FACE Swallow Cove - Book Four by DJ Jamison Release Date: February 20, 2025 Review Declan is so beautiful. Quiet, a little grumpy, a little withdrawn, and maybe a little lost and lonely. Then there’s Cash - outgoing, sexual, and completely obsessed with Declan.  It’s a slow burn. One that requires both of them to shift their understanding of each other, and time to truly learn and understand both themselves and the other. I love both the trajectory of the relationship as well as the life and home they build.  It’s a truly wonderful pairing that may be my favourite in the series. Sure I see a bit of myself in Declan, but I also just adore the way Cash grew and how they balanced each other. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis He could have anyone he wants...so why is he so interested in me? Cash is a gorgeous chaotic bi guy with a reputation for getting around. And me? I'm the antisocial grump, closed off and lonely. We should be like oil and water....

REVIEW: The Burnt by Peter E Fenton (Declan Hunt Mysteries #3)

  THE BURNT The Declan Hunt Mysteries - Book Three by Peter E. Fenton Release Date: August 5, 2025 Review I wish there were more mystery romances out there.  I love the mystery-solving, both the entertainment value of the cases, but also as a plot point to a developing relationship. And Declan and Charlie are a dynamic duo. They have great banter, but are also caring people. Book three, and Declan and Charlie are still finding their way as boyfriends and colleagues, but it’s clear they could be amazing. And now Charlie is learning to become a detective, too. They each take on a case, but before long, they find their cases connecting. Which is perfect, because they do their best work together. They put to bed a case that Declan worked on as a police officer, but it also uncovers some things that I’m sure will cause them both some headaches in the future!!  Peter is a great writer, and I especially love this series.  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Book th...
