Dancing in the Rain A Novel edition by Kelly Jamieson Literature Fiction eBooks

There was EVERYTHING to love about this book. I couldn't put it down. Once I started reading it, I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning.

The author did an incredible job of writing Drew. He's down and out, his life as a hockey player is over and to him, there is nothing left, no reason to even care about where his life is headed.

Without giving too much of the plot away, Peyton's life is on a downward slide as well. Her sister is gravely ill and has a young daughter, who happens to be Drew's child as well.

I can't convey enough how pulled into this story I was. I cried until there were no tears left to cry, cheered on Peyton and Drew as they worked towards their HEA. My emotions were totally caught up in the lives of all four of the main characters. The author did an amazing job of writing a story that had to be difficult and yet it needed to be told. Each character was crafted so well, it was as if I was sitting at the movies, caught up in a story that was based on real life events.

This one is a keeper for sure. I received a copy from NetGalley for an honest reserve. I've also placed an order for a copy when it comes out. It is one of those books I will read over and over and yeah...when I'm done I will want to read it again.

Dancing in the Rain A Novel edition by Kelly Jamieson Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews


When Kelly Jamieson says she has a new book coming out the first thing you say is when and then you go and one click that book.
Dancing in the Rain is most definitely a book where you will feel yourself reaching inside and feeling every emotion you know. There will be many heartbreaking moments but right along with them there are heartwarming ones as well.
We meet Drew Sellers a reluctant retired hockey player looking for a direction where his life is going but one day that direction is changed in an instant.
Sara Watt a attorney who happens to be a single mom to twelve year old Chloe knows that her life is at a crossroads but having her sister Peyton who will be there will help her situation.
Drew & Peyton are thrown into a situation that neither one ever expects but the love that they feel for young Chloe will hopefully bring them together and see that sometimes great things can come from something awful.
This book will definitely pull at all your heartstrings but it is also a book not to be missed.
Drew Sanders, former NHL star is on a downward spiral. He has had to take early retirement because of a knee injury, his wife has left him for a former teammate, and now he finds out that a one-night stand in college has made him the father of an 11 year old girl. When he learns that the girl's mother has terminal cancer and has only a short time left, he is not sure what he wants to do. As soon as he meets her sister, Peyton, he is attracted to her even though he fights it. Peyton has temporarily left her NYC job to return to Chicago to help care for her sister and niece.

This could have been a dreary, maudlin story but instead it comes off as a story of incredible love and courage. There are no "saints" in this story, but people who are trying to do their best in an unwinnable situation. Peyton's sister Sara, the cancer patient, reminds me so much of my own aunt in her last days in the same situation. It is remarkable how some people are able to remain dignified, courageous, and supportive of OTHERS when their situation is so dire. The characters in this story are great. I loved the way the relationship between Drew and his daughter developed. Peyton and Drew were a couple that I could believe in and feel that their relationship would last. I highly recommend this book.

Language (f-bombs) and sexual situations (steamy) may offend some readers.
"Sometimes the worst things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us."

An outstanding job by a new-to-me-author, who carried this storyline realistically through the dark tunnel of illness, death, and the mourning period into the light at the other end.  Although heartbreaking at times, I was consoled by the uplifting message instilling the healing powers of love.  For me, a really good book is one that draws you in and keeps you reading because you must know what happens next, and this one met the challenge.  From start to finish, this story tugged at my heart in a variety of different emotions.

"Dancing In the Rain" is an engaging romance with a happily-ever-after, but it offers so much more.  It is also a story of love on various levels.  And even when bad things happen to good people, love can heal the broken-hearted when grief still clings.  Happiness can still be found despite the heavy burdens of loss.  It’s all part of the healing process.  Warning  You may need a Kleenex or two, or maybe three, before you reach the end, and some may even be used for happy tears.

While attending college at Notre Dame, Sara Watt had a drunken one-night stand with a guy named Drew, who was attending Boston College at the same time.  Now twelve years later, Sara is standing on Drew’s doorstep announcing that he’s a father.  Finding out that he has a daughter is shocking enough, but there’s another level to this news, too.  The mother of his child has Stage 4 breast cancer and is dying.

Forced into an early retirement by a hockey injury that ends his career, Drew Sellers isn’t sure what life has in store for him next.  But he certainly wasn’t expecting what came knocking on his door.  Drew is a mess.  He’s a bit of a downer (a hot & gorgeous one) when we first meet him.  And he’s got a potty mouth that he’s having some trouble controlling that lends itself to some funny moments.  The author does a great job of exposing him as a broken and unhappy man.  He’s not only lost his job, but is divorced, too, from his wife who cheated on him with one of his teammates.  Hockey takes a backseat in this story, focusing mostly on Drew getting to know his daughter, as well as the growing relationship with Peyton.  And he’s in panic mode when it comes to the face-to-face with an eleven-year old girl whose eyes are straight out of his gene pool.  Watching Drew evolve into a father-figure is such fun to experience.  In the end, you can’t help but love him bunches!

Peyton Watt has taken a leave of absence from her demanding job in New York City to be with her sister, Sara, as the end draws near, and to help with her niece, Chloe.  When Sara shocks Peyton with the revelation that she has discovered the whereabouts of the missing sperm donor, life begins to take a major turn.  From their initial meet and greet, Peyton and Drew share an instant attraction.  Of course, with the situation being what it is with Sara, they fight those feelings and put them aside while dealing with more pressing issues.  “Co-parenting” duties present a few more obstacles than one might imagine — and the “tween” girl caught in the middle isn’t doing much to make it any easier.  It’s while dealing with those issues that Drew and Peyton are constantly butting heads.  She’s got her ideas and he’s got his on how to deal with the pre-teen — and they don’t jive.  Once again, the author’s talent is at its best giving a “real deal” feeling that continues making this one all the more believable.

"It’s okay to cry, the sky does it, too."

When the times comes, both Drew and Peyton realize what is most important to both of them.  They love one another and they both love Chloe.  Nothing is smooth sailing, but the right decisions are made for each of them, ones that everyone can agree upon.  The death of Sara has left an unforgettable mark on this newly formed family.  Life is short – make the best of it while you can.

The story is told in third person point of view which is my least favorite.  Especially in a situation as we find here with such deeply emotional ties — the death of a mother and sister.  In my opinion, first person pov from the heart, soul and voice of the character directly involved is preferable.  Otherwise, the emotions lose some of their impact in the translation.  I much prefer when the character talks directly to me.  However, the messages were still received loud and clear.  The author wrote from her heart and it was evident.  The laughter was real, the interactions between all the characters came across as genuine, and the sadness and pain quite believable.

"You may have to dance in the rain, while you wait for the sun."  

And yes, I felt a few “raindrops’ on my cheeks while reading this one.  However, there was a smile upon my face as I finished the last line.  The story was beautifully written and touched my heart.  Kelly Jamieson did a terrific job giving this story the right tempo and a cast of easy to like characters.  It’s a good lesson in being thankful and appreciating what we’ve got.  Don’t miss this one!
