### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Only an Average Book
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2017*

FINAL DECISION: This was a fine story and parts were really good, but I thought the first half was better than the conclusion and nothing about it was really memorable.THE STORY: Lucy Marinn discovers that her live-in boyfriend of two years has dumped her for her younger sister. Lucy asks herself why she keeps getting involved with the wrong kind of man. When she meets Sam Nolan, owner of a local vineyard, she knows she bad man streak continues. Sam is a nice man but he is upfront that he never intends to marry and any relationship with him can only be physical. The two cannot seem to avoid one another, however, as accidents, matchmaking and coincidences keep bringing them together.OPINION: I wanted to really love this book, but I only ended up liking it and that was primarily because of the characters. In some ways this felt like a book made up of jumbled genres. Contemporary romance, women's fiction, and paranormal just didn't work together in this book.I loved the characters and wish this was more like a true contemporary romance. Instead, this book has a women's fiction feel where the story is more about Lucy's personal growth than the romance. We don't get enough about Sam and Lucy together. In fact, much of their story ends up taking place in the space of a couple of paragraphs noting that they spent months together as a couple.I liked the characters and the story, but I thought the romance ended up a bit disconnected even though it had great potential.The book also has paranormal elements that seemed to have no real purpose in the story. They were weirdly placed and didn't really contribute to the story. They were neither fully integrated into the characters nor significant enough to the story to make their placement worth breaking the contemporary romance rules.Parts of the book were really good. I loved the parts where the deep emotions between Lucy and Sam are allowed to be the focus, but those moments were only enough to make the overall book likable.The book feels like an experiment that I didn't find entirely successful.WORTH MENTIONING: I think the blurb for this book doesn't really describe the story in this book as it suggests that Sam and Lucy get together because of her ex's interference. That is just not true.CONNECTED BOOKS: RAINSHADOW ROAD is the second book in the Friday Harbor series. It can be read as a standalone although there are overlapping characters.STAR RATING: I give this book 3 stars.

    Breathtakingly lovely
  

*by A***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2020*

Lisa Kleypas is gifted with the unique ability to breathe life into the pages of her novels, to paint such emotion within the pages that it curves your lips and overflows from your eyes as you read. She elegantly taps into the complexities of hearts and how our lives shape us, and reshape us. There is so much to love about this book, and this series, that I cannot put it into words. I want to visit Friday Harbor and meet in person everyone I've grown to love within this series.

    Better than Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2013*

A lovely book that lived up to its preview in Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor.The story is about Lucy, an artist who has been burned one too many times by love, and Sam, a wine maker who grew up with two alcoholic parents and has a strong aversion to commitment. In classic Kleypas stye (which is why her series books are so terrific) we are treated to glimpses into the lives of past characters Maggie, Mark, Holly (the child), and Alex (star of next book). We also meet cousins Zoe and Justine who will both also have books of their own.There is an element of magic to the story, but it doesn't drive the plot or even the resolution, in a way, it's more symbolic than significant to character development. I've read a couple complaints about the magic and also the "geeky" hero, and neither are particularly major elements of this story. Sam rarely talks like a geek and certainly doesn't live or look like a geek, if that is a stumbling block for you, it's insignificant.What Rainshadow Road has in common with Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor, is the story arc is more tied to personal development and emotional growth rather than external factors with a significant peak/finale. While this book has that to a degree, it isn't explosive - a bit more quiet.Another commonality, and significant difference from LK's other books is the lack of sensuality. In the 20 odd books I've read, LK always gives attention and detail to the love scene. This book has them, not doubt, but written rather differently. The scenes are relatively brief and sparse. A bit of a disappointment for this reader, but the book is still a winner.
