Following the USA Today bestseller, Lost and Found Sisters, comes Rainy Day Friends, Jill Shalvis’ moving story of heart, loss, betrayal, and friendship.

Six months after Lanie Jacobs’ husband’s death, it’s hard to imagine anything could deepen her sense of pain and loss. But then Lanie discovers she isn’t the only one grieving his sudden passing. A serial adulterer, he left behind several other women who, like Lanie, each believe she was his legally wedded wife.

Rocked by the infidelity, Lanie is left to grapple with searing questions. How could she be so wrong about a man she thought she knew better than anyone? Will she ever be able to trust another person? Can she even trust herself?

Desperate to make a fresh start, Lanie impulsively takes a job at the family-run Capriotti Winery. At first, she feels like an outsider among the boisterous Capriottis. With no real family of her own, she’s bewildered by how quickly they all take her under their wing and make her feel like she belongs. Especially Mark Capriotti, a gruffly handsome Air Force veteran turned deputy sheriff who manages to wind his way into Lanie’s cold, broken heart—along with the rest of the clan.

Everything is finally going well for her, but the arrival of River Green changes all that. The fresh-faced twenty-one-year old seems as sweet as they come…until her dark secrets come to light—secrets that could destroy the new life Lanie’s only just begun to build.

Review

“With a fast pace and a lovely mix of romance and self-discovery, Shalvis’s novel is chock-full of magnetic characters and seamless storytelling, rich with emotions, and impossible to put down.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“This second book in the “Wildstone” series displays best-selling author Shalvis’s knack for creating witty, humorous, warmhearted characters dealing with complex emotional situations. Fans of Susan Mallery or Kristan Higgins will be adding this to their stack of summer beach reads.” — Library Journal

Great book!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

To me, the mark of a truly great book is one that causes me to "live" in it, to feel all of the emotions the characters are feeling. Rainy Day Friends is a fantastic book. As I read, I was drawn into Lanie's life & feelings. I felt her hurt, anger & despair over the mess her dead husband had made of their life. I "ugly" cried when she finally broke. River - poor River - I felt devastated for her being so young & in her position. Mark had my sympathies for being left as a single parent & my admiration for stepping up & doing what needed done. Lanie, Mark & River had to travel a journey that actually was leading them to acceptance of what had happened to them & opening them up to recognizing & letting live back into their lives. Mark's family is the secondary characters & they are all complicated individuals but you find yourself loving everyone! Cora is the quintessential mother, Uncle Jack is the smart aleck & the sisters witty & hilarious. The plot leads the reader on a path with circles, twists & turns but keeps them deeply enthralled in what is happening. I would recommend making sure you have time to read the book from cover to cover & having a full box of tissues at hand before you sit down & start. This book is not a downer. There are moments I found myself smiling & chuckling too. This is a intense, highly charged emotional book & one of the best I've read in a while.

5 Snickers-worthy Stars!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2018

*This book can be read as a complete standalone. Interestingly enough this book felt more like a women’s fiction story than the first book in the series but isn’t labeled that way. Don’t get me wrong, the romance element was a very strong centerpiece to this story but there was so much more to this story than just the budding relationship between Lanie and Mark. I feel like the strength of the story lied within Lanie’s journey to move on from the hurt caused by her husband and the relationships that she forged with the Capriotti’s and the most unlikely friendship she forges with River. I was really impressed with the way that Jill Shalvis told the story of Lanie and the betrayals she encounters with a raw honesty that felt thoroughly justified and real. If you’ve read Jill Shalvis before, you know that you can expect the best sort of hero. Mark, a single father two the most amazing 6-year-old twin girls, was extremely easy to fall for. A hardworking, morally fit, single father who has vowed to put his children before anything else and who loves his mother and sisters, you can’t help but fall for him. He was the perfect fit to Lanie’s closed-off, angry but still sweet character who was doing her best to move forward but had trouble letting go. I’d be remiss if I didn’t say that besides the flirty banter with Mark, my favorite parts of Lanie’s story were when she was interacting with Sam and Sea. Having been betrayed and let down by pretty much everyone in her life, they quickly become the first people who Lanie let’s herself be open and unguarded with and it makes for some really sweet and hilarious scenes. This was absolutely the signature fantastic story-telling that I’ve come to expect from Jill Shalvis. Sexy, sweet and just a little emotionally devastating, this is a must read book!

Very emotional, but also funny!

I loved this story, even though it was very hard to read at times. I can't believe all of the raw emotions this story brought out in me. Poor Lanie. As much as she tried to shield herself, sometimes you've just got to let all go. And boy, did she ever. I felt her hurt, anger & despair over the mess her dead husband had made of not only her life, but the others, like River, also. I was so happy that mark was there for her, even though he had his own walls to scale. And poor River! She was so young, pregnant, broke and all alone in the world. I felt so bad for her, too.

And even though there was so many different emotional things going on with those three, there was also Uncle Jack. He brought me to tears, too, but with laughter at his wild antic's. I think we've all got a Uncle Jack in our families who likes to keep us all on our toes. And even though they can be so embarrassing at times--- at the same time--- you've gotta love them. The twins were also very entertaining. You never knew what kind of mischief they were going to come up with next, especially Sam. I loved the scheming but lovable Cora, too. Actually.... I loved the whole family. Who wouldn't love to apart of that wild but lovable family. I can't wait to read more.

Jill Shalvis never disappoints me with her wild and wacky stories, that are always filled with so much heart and soul.

Friends are important

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2018

Rainy Day Friends by Jill Shalvis has us back in Wildstone with our heroine Lanie Jacobs, and our reluctant hero, Mark Capriotti. Lanie has suffered a life changing event with her husband dying, and the heartbreak is only compounded with the reality of his polygamist ways. She is truly broken, however underneath the broken shattered pieces of her heart is a strong, resilient, caring, loving woman. She takes a temporary job at a family winery and catapults into a noisy, nosy, bossy family. Mark Capriotti is also broken with an ex-wife who leaves him with twin baby girls who are now six. Although they try to resist, the attraction is just too strong. This book has so many feels and what being a family means really is beautiful. The twin girls are an absolute delight as is the whole Capriotti family. While helping another wounded soul, Lanie learns how much more her heart is capable of breaking. I love reading a Jill Shalvis story, and I found this one especially engaging for me. What a family means, the love, romance, lust, heartaches, betrayal, friendship, are all part of the book. Mark and Lanie sizzle and it is so very delightful. Thank you for another fabulous read!

Whenever I see a Jill Shalvis book I haven't read I can't click fast enough to download it. Loved the heroine, Lanie, and loved the zany Capriotti family ... especially hero Mark.

Heart rendering

Reviewed in Australia on June 21, 2019

Jill Shalvis writes amazing stories and series. Some are more lighthearted than others but every single one of them is real. This particular series is a little more heartbreaking than some of her others but in some ways more real. Both of our heroines (and yes, there is a sub plot but certainly not a lesser story) are troubled but stronger and more loving than they realise as are our heroes. Mark and Lanie both have walls, thick and strong for very good reasons. But like real life, it is no smooth, easy road to happiness. This story, I think, is one of her best and that is a high bar indeed. These people are real and you feel their pain, and their love. I cannot recommend this book more highly but please read it alone and with a box of tissues. Worth every single tear!
