Ravens In The Rain centers around Pru and Carney, she's a woman with a past, and he's a man with no future. Down on luck and down on love, they meet over a game of chance at an off-strip Vegas casino, and Carney wonders if Pru's sparkle is what he needs to lift him from his darkness. He doesn't even mind that she swiped a hundred-dollar bill from an old cowboy. It excites him. While Pru, disillusioned by her sparkle, is now accustomed to the cynical disposition of vagabond life. She's not looking for a one-night stand; she's looking for survival and sizing Carney up as a comfortable solution, for the moment. When she finds out who he really is, she'll ante up for the game of her life. This romantic noir is a turbulent flight; like dating in the 21st century, it's dangerous and daring.… (more)

The authors did an excellent job of creating the characters and making them genuine. I was drawn in by the book outline, a lady with a past, and a man with no future. Ravens in The Rain is an insightful story that starts laid-back yet after a brief time hooks you in. This was an altogether different genre for me than I regularly read yet I am glad I read this book.

I would like to thank the authors for the review copy in exchange for my honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. ( )

A noir romance - as a lover of the noir genre, I was definitely intrigued by the idea. I loved how vivid the imagery was. The Santos definitely have a unique way of telling a story, and I absolutely loved it. Pru and Carney had so many layers, and I loved learning more about them, as each layer was slowly pulled back. This isn't your typical romance, or noir story - and I think that's why I enjoyed it so much. Definitely a nice way to shake up both genres. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to give something new a try. ( )
