Kiss Me in the Rain: a second chance romantic suspense

I loved this first book in the Destined for Romance: Mansions series. It was great to read Layla and Tyler's story. (I met them in Kiss Me in the Moonlight.) This story is well written. The mansion is practically a character in the book. There is mystery and romance. As usual for me with any book of Lindzee Armstrong, I could not put it down. I tried twice and gave in to just finishing it tonight! I highly recommend this book.

I loved the setting, the characters, the romance, the mystery, the mansion, the old victorian, the bridge, the rain, the pond, the pictures (ahhhhhh, happy, happy sigh). Yeah it was a great read if you can't tell. Grab it! I dare you not to have a permagrin while reading this one because I sure did. I'm even smiling big right now as I'm writing this thinking about it all. Hee Hee!

I’m loving this new Destined for Love series! It’s the Mansions series and every book includes a great mansion as part of the plot. I loved the idea of Layla’s mansion. It’s Cypress Grove in South Carolina and it’s been part of Layla’s life for as long as she can remember. But…the mansion is costing her family a lot of money and things are getting bad. To solve the problem, her dad proposes that she date Grant, a man she hasn’t ever met so that his father will give them money to make everything work out. It’s terrible timing for Layla. She’s just gotten home from Europe where she fell in love with Tyler. Things only get worse, Grant’s father announces an engagement when neither one of the couple knew he would and they have to scramble to come up with an engagement story. To make matters worse, Tyler has come to Cypress Grove to work and he happens to be there when the engagement is announced. This leads to all kind of craziness for Layla and for Tyler too, he doesn’t know the engagement is fake. I loved the plot of this one. There’s a hidden mystery that Layla has to figure out. And the answer to the mystery pretty much rocks her whole world. I liked Layla, she’s willing to work hard to save a house that’s important to her. She’s willing to think outside of the box and try to figure out just what’s wrong. And she doesn’t give up on love, even when it seems impossible. Tyler is great too! I liked the way he didn’t give up on Layla, even when he thought he didn’t stand a chance. He was willing to work hard to accomplish all of his goals and go after what he wanted. And he was able to see what Layla couldn’t because she was too close to the situation.
