She tends to her ranch and stay to herself. She doesn\u2019t have the desire to be with a man or have babies like society dictates for a woman. She stumbles across an injured man in a snowstorm and her life suddenly changes.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Garrett<\/strong> is in town to interview Dr. Colton Lee for his newspaper but he gets more than he bargains for with Spring Lee. He knows that she is something special from their very first encounter. He just has to convince her of that.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I had a slow burn liking for Spring. She has been through so much in her short life. She had to fight for the life she wanted. I like that buried beneath her rough exterior there was a woman who wanted to be loved and accepted for who she really was. I think that Garrett saw her from the beginning. She is just not warm and fuzzy which is understandable so it takes time to get to love her.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While I did enjoy the book the heat between Garrett and Spring fell a bit flat for me. Garrett is instantly fascinated and in love with Spring which I didn\u2019t mind but the connection always felt a bit force. I kept waiting for her to warm up but when she did, it is a little too late for my taste.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I always love the historical details that the author adds to all of her stories. I found it fascinating that Garrett was a part of the Union Navy and end up studying law.\u00a0 I\u2019m always left wanting to do further research after reading one of Ms. Jenkins\u2019s books. She takes her time to educate her readers which I do appreciate.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is a standalone romance but readers will enjoy it more if they read previous books in the series and The Old West series. \u00a0Old characters show up and obviously Spring\u2019s brother has his own book as well.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3aOcPYH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/wild-rain\/id1485214674?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_wild_rain&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/wild-rain-beverly-jenkins\/1135118680?ean=9780062861726\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/wild-rain-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Beverly_Jenkins_Wild_Rain?id=kpG5DwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A\u00a0reporter has come to Wyoming to do a story on doctors for his Black newspaper back east.

He thinks Colton Lee will be an interesting subject\u2026until he meets Colton\u2019s sister Spring. She runs her own ranch, wears denim pants instead of dresses, and is the most fascinating woman he\u2019s ever met.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But Spring, who has overcome a raucous and scandalous past, isn\u2019t looking for, nor does she want, love. As their attraction grows, will their differences come between them or unite them for an everlasting love?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/3_5-hearts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"146\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong>\u00a0Feb 9, 2021<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Women Who Dare<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>2<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Hot<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0HarperCollins<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Avon Books<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $5.99<\/p><hr \/><p><br \/><br \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Spring Lee<\/strong> likes her simple life that she created for herself in Wyoming. She tends to her ranch and stay to herself. She doesn\u2019t have the desire to be with a man or have babies like society dictates for a woman. She stumbles across an injured man in a snowstorm and her life suddenly changes.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Garrett<\/strong> is in town to interview Dr. Colton Lee for his newspaper but he gets more than he bargains for with Spring Lee. He knows that she is something special from their very first encounter. He just has to convince her of that.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I had a slow burn liking for Spring. She has been through so much in her short life. She had to fight for the life she wanted. I like that buried beneath her rough exterior there was a woman who wanted to be loved and accepted for who she really was. I think that Garrett saw her from the beginning. She is just not warm and fuzzy which is understandable so it takes time to get to love her.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While I did enjoy the book the heat between Garrett and Spring fell a bit flat for me. Garrett is instantly fascinated and in love with Spring which I didn\u2019t mind but the connection always felt a bit force. I kept waiting for her to warm up but when she did, it is a little too late for my taste.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I always love the historical details that the author adds to all of her stories. I found it fascinating that Garrett was a part of the Union Navy and end up studying law.\u00a0 I\u2019m always left wanting to do further research after reading one of Ms. Jenkins\u2019s books. She takes her time to educate her readers which I do appreciate.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is a standalone romance but readers will enjoy it more if they read previous books in the series and The Old West series. \u00a0Old characters show up and obviously Spring\u2019s brother has his own book as well.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3aOcPYH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/wild-rain\/id1485214674?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_wild_rain&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/wild-rain-beverly-jenkins\/1135118680?ean=9780062861726\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/wild-rain-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Beverly_Jenkins_Wild_Rain?id=kpG5DwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26956\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
