Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns Book 3)
By Alicia Street
This is a wonderful romantic read with great characters. I loved getting to know Raina and Roman, they are wonderful thought out characters with their own flaws and wonderful attributes. Roman’s past still pains him and has become a part of who he is which makes him that much more relatable to me. I absolutely loved Raina and her big heart and no nonsense ways. This book sad, heartwarming, romantic, and very emotional, I loved every minute of reading this story that has touched my heart. I highly recommend this book.
Rainy Day Lovers is book three in the Rocklyns series by Alicia Street. Reading this author’s work for the first time was enlightening and a thrill to read.
Raina and Roman meet under difficult circumstances, but it is a meeting that remains with therm long after they leave each other’s company. Fast forward a few years and they meet again, but nothing is ever what it seems. They are both insanely attracted to each other, but something stops them from connecting in a deeper level. I liked the way the story was set out. The characters were complex and well developed. I felt that Roman was born mature and had not really experienced how carefree life could be. Raina was much more excited about life and just wanted to find love and live happily ever after.
Rainy Day Lovers is a romance that has many varied events that will bring out mixed emotions. Sadness, tension, attraction, passion, acceptance, new beginnings and so much more. 4 stars.
Rainy Day Lovers by Alicia Street is the third book in The Rocklyns series. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
This book is one of those dead easy books to to get straight into. You are drawn in from the start and find yourself pouring through the book in one sitting: the characters had so much emotion behind them. You could feel it coming off the pages and with every interaction between them.
The story was well developed and fast paced, never hallowing for your attention to drift to anything other than what you were reading. This was great way to discover a whole new series and author.
Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns Book 3) by Alicia Street was an addicting read that had me hooked from start to finish.
Right out of the gate I was drew in by this pair. It was obvious that Raina was a special kind of person, from the moment we not only meet her but when she meets Roman. The opening scene not only set the stage, and it set in motion a serendipitous moment for these two lovers.
Rain really stole the show, she was a no BS person and called Roman out on his hot and coldness right from the start. She wasn’t going to let misunderstandings or anything else stand in her way. Though I will say there was a few times I wanted to slap both of them. The plot was fast moving, but I felt their connection, and for me, nothing felt forced or awkward.
Roman was a sweet character, and I loved the split POV letting us see inside his head and his insecurities. It added that much needed layer, rounding out an already solid plot and story. What I also loved was how even though Roman had so much success, he has this imposter syndrome playing in the background. It made his character real, and grounded. Going through what he did, isn’t something you just get over, so having that flaw in his perfect persona, was that special something that made me connect with him.
Overall this story is a solid read and it’s get a super high recommendation form me. So please take my stamp of approval, that you will get loss in this emotional heart though read, and be left wanting more.
Happy Reading

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!

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.
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.
