This was an amazing book and I can't stop thinking about it. I read A LOT of books, and I can always tell when a book will stay with me and when I know that it will be a five star read for me. Saving Rain was that. I'm honestly not sure how I should proceed with this review. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me swoon, it made me so angry, and yet, I thought it was so heartbreakingly beautiful. Kelsey Kingsley is a great storyteller and this book will make an impact on you. Soldier was born to be a hero, a protector, a savior. He feels the need to protect at all costs, but some people just can't be saved, and maybe Soldier just needs someone to try to save him. That's all I'm telling you about this story, because you really just need to read it for yourself. I will warn you that there are so many triggers in this book, so read with caution. I will also tell you that this is a heavy, heartbreaking, gut wrenching masterpiece. Second chance is one of my favorite tropes, and at it's core, that's what this story is. It's a second chance at life. It's a reminder that life is sometimes cruel and unfair, but behind the darkest of shadows, sometimes the light will shine through. Sacrifice, love, grief, anger sadness, saving... It's a story of redemption and forgiveness, and above all, it's a story of love. This truly is a beautifully heartbreaking love story. I think Kelsey Kingsley is one of the most talented authors out there today. As I've read her books over time, her passion, talent and writing has only continued to grow. With this book though? She has truly outdone herself. This isn't just some romance novel that you read and forget. I lived this book right along with Soldier and Rain. Every disappointment, heartbreak, fear... I felt it all. I sat through so much of this story with a lump in my throat and a sense of foreboding hanging over my head. I thought I knew where this story was headed, only to be surprised again and again. I wanted to get to the end, but I didn't want the story to be over. This is just one of those books that I'll never forget.
