I wasn’t prepared for the starry-eyed stranger and his smile that made my thighs tremble.When a real estate powerhouse tries to force my hand into selling my building, I didn’t have to think about my answer. I told them no.But after someone breaks into my gallery, destroying everything I own, and threatening me; I start to question how I’ll ever come back from this.Until a stranger comes to my … this.
Until a stranger comes to my rescue, risking his own safety for mine.
He saved me.
Bold and charming, his muscles were hard as rock and his strength was fierce; he made everything right.
Life began to fall back into place, and for a brief moment, I was able to forget about everything else. I wish that moment could have lasted a little bit longer.
Because everything I thought I knew about my hero was a lie. He wasn’t my savior, he was my enemy.
I heard that bad things happen in threes.
The break in, the lies… I didn’t know what was next.
I guess it’s true, when it rains—he pours.
And this man laid it on thick in all the right places.
So how do I let him go?

3.5* Sweet & Sexy Stars
This was a quick and easy flowing read. The main characters Glory and Liam were very likeable and their chemistry was off the charts.
Their story was sweet and sexy and there was some light suspense and jealousy in it too. I would have like to have had some more drama/angst and the book to be a bit longer.
A well written very good steamy romance. It has suspense, tension, mystery, danger, chemistry, steamy sex, and dark twists in this amazing storyline. It is a rollercoaster ride of a nail biting tension story with great characters and a fantastic ending.

This was a good read. An almost enemies to lovers type book. Gloria and Liam just don’t get along. She doesn’t want to sell and his brother is making her life a living he**. But Liam has no idea any of this is going on. So when he finds out he does try to make it right. But will it work?
Good story.
When It Rains He Pours was a good, enjoyable read w/twists and undeniable chemistry between Liam and Glory. Received a copy and I’m leaving a voluntary review.
Liked the storyline. Loved Glory and Liam! This was well written. Characters draw you in and keep you reading to find out how everything turns out. Loved the epilogue!! Completes the picture.
This was my first opportunity to read one of Ms. Holt’s books. I did enjoy the book but I feel that it needed to be a bit longer. I think a little more character development and including more to the story line would have been good. The story felt a little rushed to me.
I know I am a stickler for details and I question too much but If Glory’s father passed away when she was 16, how did she support her mother in those early years? She would have still been in high school and working full time would have been near impossible. Also, Glory seems like an intelligent young lady but yet she had unprotected sex multiple times with a man she knew very little about including not knowing his name. Sure, he was her “Hero” but even Hero’s have names. I assume the sex was unprotected because unlike most other romance books lately no mention was made about getting or using a condom.
I do plan to give Ms. Holt another chance to become a favorite author for me by reading another example or two.
I really enjoyed this read by Leah Holt. It was my first book from this author and I was pleasantly surprised!
I liked this love story, with it’s suspenseful twists and turns and slice of mystery. I enjoyed the author’s writing style and the really hot sex scenes were not awful to read 😉
Glory was a strong, independent heroine who I really felt compassion for. Her life wasn’t easy but she was always willing to dust herself off and pick up the pieces. Liam, while secretive, was sweet, attentive and down to earth. I really liked the relationship these two built in such a short time, even if it was founded on a bed of lies. They meshed well together and saw the values and potential in each other.
The epilogue was a fantastic ending to this story!
My only issue with this book is the title. It’s oddly phrased and doesn’t really encompass the book’s story. If it hadn’t been for receiving an ARC of this, I may have passed it by just given the title.
Thank you to the author for providing an advanced copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
Very good steamy romance well dosed with suspense, mystery & tension. I felt the entire book was well written, I liked the plot as well as our two main characters Glory & Liam. The only thing I felt was wobbly was the wrap up in the last couple chapters. Everything prior to this had been detailed & drawn out (not in a boring way) but the resolution was so short & swift it seemed very unbelievable. BUT that is a minor quibble IMO as the rest of the book was good, I didn’t want to skip any parts & I liked Glory & Liam’s character. Thankfully despite all the tension & danger in the plot the few bits of angst & personal drama were minimal.
This story has steamy sex, mystery, threats, life & death danger & two people trying to create a relationship. But someone keeps threatening Glory & her gallery for unknown reasons & those threats escalate dangerously.
And Glory has to face a horrendous possibility: Liam, who saved her from an attack, who has made passionate love to her, who seems so caring of, & concerned for, her, just may be the person responsible . . . .
I highly recommend this book if you want a steamy romance that includes danger & suspense.

When I first read the synopsis I thought I would enjoy this book. There was so much that was unbelievable and made no sense. It was hard for me to follow after to break in scene and how Glory just walked away without even meeting with the police. The story had potential but it just wasn’t developed enough for me.

A really enjoyable passionate read that is beautifully written and exciting. The storyline is amazing, exciting, engaging, and emotionally deep. A fast-pace romance that is extremely steamy, intriguing, compelling, and full of twists and turns. Loveable characters – their chemistry is undeniable, instant, and off the charts. This story is guaranteed to pull you in and grab hold your interest until the end. Highly recommended.

I received an ARC from the author for an honest review.
The plot of the story was good. The characters were believable. The story moved along at a good pace. There were some missing words and incorrectly used words but I’m hopeful those were caught before the final draft was published.
I would recommend this book to readers who like a heroine that picks herself up after tragedy and learns to stand up for what she wants.
Leah Holt has given us what appears to be a tourist town where Glory, a young artist supporting herself and her widowed mother, has been approached by a Real Estate firm to buy her building. She wasn’t interested in selling as it was part of her father’s dream before he died. Telling their representative no, she thought no more about it. Until her shop was vandalized and all her paintings and supplies destroyed. What happens next and throughout this story will keep you in suspense while watching an instant attraction take place. Secrets come to life as the plot unfolds and emotions are bared. What a wonderful story with characters who have personality traits so relatable they only make it better.
