My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As you start reading the stories in this box set about The Rocklyn family you will see how each couple gets together. After you finish reading the seven books in this set you will have met a very unique family with a lot to offer each other as well as you the reader.

You will be taken away into a fantasy world/ I found myself caught up in the characters and their story lines and it was really hard to put the book down. Every time I got a few minutes I caught myself sitting down to read just a little more.

I highly recommend this box set and think you will enjoy it as much as I did.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns Book 3) by Alicia Street is a wonderfully written contemporary romance. It is a quick and easy read that is both heartwarming and heartfelt. These adorable characters drew me into their wonderful journey, which is both believable and realistic. I enjoyed the story so much that before I knew it I was turning the last page.

Raina has always put the needs of others before herself. So much so that when she sees quiet unassuming and disfigured man being harassed, she puts herself in danger. Will she ever see him again?

Roman had been given a second chance, one that changed his life. He is not that same broken man he once was. He has never forgotten the kind stranger that helped him so many years ago. Can he share his secret with the woman that he loves?

I am excited to read the rest of the series but I need to go back and start at the beginning, as I started with this book first.

Rainy Day Lovers is the third book in Alicia Street’s The Rocklyns’ series. As the writer says, you can read all the books in the series as standalones so that is also what I did, I started with book three! I have not read anything else by this writer so I was curious when reading the blurb so I decided to pick up a copy!
I was right! Alicia has given us a beautiful contemporary love story with two amazing characters – Raina and Roman. They were so realistic, you could simply close your eyes and picture this story in front of your eyes, like walking along them … I loved the complexity of the characters and how the wrier spun the story, there was something about the two of them, the way they met, the paths the life took them down on … the sadness, the tension, the attraction, the passion …
I loved the split point of view telling of story that added another layer of reality to the characters as it pushes us deeper into who they are … ALSO, let’s not forget about all those secondary characters that make us wish for their own story so it means I need to go and read the other stories in the series and keep an eye on the next one!

This is my first book by Alicia Street and I will say she has me hooked. Its the 3rd book in the series but its a standalone but with that said I’m going back to read them all!

Her writing is amazing and she knows how to draw you into the story. The story was well developed and the characters were amazing. So easy to fall in love with and completely well rounded. She made this story relatable and believable which is something I don’t see very often and LOVE!

This book needs to be on everyone one click list! I’ll be going back to read her other books because she has me hooked!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the first time I have picked up a full length novel from Alicia Street on its own. I have only read stuff from her in an anthology before. I have enjoyed her writing in those settings so when I saw the eye catching cover and who it was by I went in blind not knowing what to expect. Now this is book three in a series, The Rocklyns, but I didn’t struggle to terribly reading it as a standalone. I would like to go back and read the other two though to get a better understanding of the supporting characters etc.

I adored our main characters though and they really were the shining stars of this novel. Raina and Roman, what is there to not love about these two. They are perfect for each other too. Ugh. Anyways… This is one contemporary romance that I just couldn’t get enough of, in fact that would be m only complaint! I felt this was so short! I could have had just a tad more, but it was fantastic nonetheless. Thanks for a fantastic read Ms. Street. Off to read books one and two of The Rocklyns!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rainy Day Lovers was a good 4 star read.
This is my first read from Alicia Street and I really enjoyed it.

Raina is a hoot of a character. She is very bossy and strong willed. We start with her seeing a homeless teen being bullied and she protects him, feeds him and gives him some advice in hopes that he will be ok.

We jump ahead a few years. Raina meets Roman at her sister’s wedding, she is instantly attracted to him but he always seems to brush her off. When she finally gets him on a date things get interesting. Roman has a secret, how will Raina react when she learns the truth?

I loved Raina and her blunt straight forwardness, she would call Roman out on things and wouldn’t let him shutdown. Roman was all over the place, at times he was strong and other times he was a mess. We get alternating POV which I loved so I could see both of their thoughts. The secondary characters were great. I really liked the ending and the epilogue leads you into the next book and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Rainy Day Lovers was a really lovely read with two wonderful characters. It didn’t take me long at all to fall in love with Raina, she was so lovely, she was kind, caring and just a real genuine person. Roman, bless him, my heart broke for him and everything that he had been through. I loved the first meeting between him and Raina; it really showed what a kind person she was. However there were times when I wanted to grab my kindle and throw it through the window with frustration because I so desperately wanted these two to be together. I liked that the author wrote from both characters point of view, I think it helped answer some of the questions I had.
Overall I thought that this was a lovely story with two wonderful characters. I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns Book 3)
By Alicia Street
Rated 5 stars!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Even though this is a shorter book it made me feel like it’s a longer one. There was no skimping on emotions, thoughts or actions. This is a chance meeting. Raina has a good heart and she shared some of it with a homeless boy. I was rooting for her at the beginning! You go Girl! This is basically Raina’s life philosophy. She is smart and thoughtful and has a huge heart. I think she is the star of this book. Not that Roman didn’t have huge obstacles to overcome. She was very solid all the way through.
When the Raina’s family got together it was great. I had a smile on my face for most of the scene. Kip and Tucker are so funny. Both of their stories will be good and fun!

Even though I have not read any of the other books I felt at home with these characters. This is easily a stand alone but I’m sure there would be benefits to reading the others. I plan on getting them myself. This is a first time author for me. I enjoyed her writing. How she pulled me into the story and didn’t rush the characters. Very thought provoking and enjoyable!

Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns Book 3)
By: Alicia Street
5 out of 5 stars

The story Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns Book 3) by Alicia Street is a contemporary romance book. This was an amazing story to read. One of the reasons is the wonderful characters of Raina and Roman. I absolutely loved reading about them. Raina is a woman who is strong, independent, and kind. She is a person who helps those in need. She is a problem-solver. However, she has found that while she has been helping others she has not progressed with her own personal life. Roman is a man that also helps those in need. He is handsome, hard-working, and loyal. There is definitely an attraction between these two. When reading about them you can feel the way that they affect each other. Will Raina let Roman into her heart? Will Roman, a man whose past still haunts him, take a chance at love? Read this book to find out. This is a romance story that had me hooked and had my emotions going up and down. Raina and Roman are both characters that I grew to love with each chapter that I read and I wanted them to find happiness. I enjoyed that both characters have a love of family. There are steamy moments in the story. I also enjoyed the dialogue/interactions that Roman and Raina had with the secondary characters. The bantering made smile. There are moments that are sad and others that warmed my heart. This is a story that I didn’t want to put down until I had read the last page. It is a book I would highly recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alicia Street’s Rainy Day Lovers is the third book of the Rocklyns series. This contemporary romance story was emotionally touching, full of growth, values, and more. The opening scenes captured my interest and the following chapters maintained it. I felt this story was completely intriguing, well written and filled with a mix of elements that make the story more than just romantic words on a page with a dash of drama thrown in. Raina and Roman were beautiful characters and much more than the facades shared with the world, there was true depth to the characters. I enjoyed reading their story as it unfolded on the pages and how they maneuvered all the obstacles or hurdles that were thrown into their paths. Alicia Street is a talented author and I look forward to reading more of her works in the future.

I enjoyed this book. It is a second chance romance story that will make you realize what could happen when you are not looking. Rainy was so busy in getting her life together that she forgets about herself. Roman has had tragedy in his life that still haunts him even today. What will happen when they meet? They are strong characters that have great chemistry and took me on an emotional roller coaster. I had a hard time putting this book down, I highly recommend this book.

Raina spent her youth as the problem-solver and peacekeeper of her volatile dysfunctional household, then later continued in a similar role as a family law attorney often working sixteen-hour days. But as she watches her family and her clients move on with their lives, she is shocked to discover she forgot to get a life of her own.

After a tragedy that left him orphaned and alone, Roman finally got a second chance and he made the most of it. Although he is now a plastic surgeon, an expert in repairing external scars, the scars from his own internal wounds still haunt him—and so does the memory of the girl whose act of courage and kindness changed his life.
