About this ebook

Delaney Newell knows what it means to be powerless. Against the family who wouldn’t support her. Against the man she loved who betrayed her. Against the gossips who won’t let her forget it. But after years of struggling, she’s finally getting her life together.

Sean Murphy has spent years fighting forest fires. The former hotshot turned forester knows the growth that can sprout from unfathomable destruction. That’s what he sees in Delaney—someone who got leveled by life but didn’t stop growing. He's spent the past several months watching the shy red-head blossom, and he really likes what he sees. 

When Delaney is accused of a crime she didn’t commit, everyone is willing to believe the worst of her. Everyone except Sean. The woman he knows couldn’t possibly be behind the rash of fires that are keeping the volunteer fire department hopping. Someone is deliberately framing her. Will Delaney trust him enough to help her find the real culprit?

Ratings and reviews

As an ARC reader, this is my honest opinion. Wishing For A Hero, "Can't Stand The Rain" is another 5 star hit! Delany and Sean get their Happy Ending and as the excerpt states, they deserve it especially since all the trouble Delany had to go through. I love how Sean stands by her, supports her not only as a friend but as a partner too. It was sad to see them leave Wishful and hope to see them come back in the future. Every trip back to Wishful let's you get to have either a good long or wee visit with the other's we've come to know and love. No town or place on earth is perfect which we come to see in the Wishing For A Hero series, but overall this community sticks together and makes it a wonderful place to visit and re-visit. Each in the series can be read alone, but once you read one, you really want to see everyone's happy ending or happy for now. No cheating or cliff hangers. Some steamy scenes and plenty of places to use your imagination. Enjoy!

ARC for honest review with no compensation received from Booksprout. Can't Stand The Rain is book 4 of the Wishing For A Hero, while this is a standalone but we get to see old friends from the prior books. Delaney Newell has made some bad mistakes but has been trying to make a new life for herself but it seems someone is determined to keep her down...that is until she meets Sean Murphy while they are taking classes together. Attraction flies between these two but Delaney is afraid Sean will walk away when he finds out about her past mistakes...then the unthinkable happens and the only person who can help her prove her innocence is Sean... Suspense, romance, building trust and finding that someone who believes in you...

This is the latest in the Wishful - Wishing for a Hero series, and this novella does not disappoint in any way. Kait’s books are a joy to read, and this is no exception. I love this series with added tension and action, although the original sweet Wishful series and fun and feisty Misfit Inn series are also fantastic. This series provides great romance, intrigue and suspense, whilst still a happy and joyful love story. This adventure between Delaney, a Wishful local still trying to find redemption and acceptance in this small town, and Sean, new to Wishful and their volunteer fire department, is a powerful story of overcoming history and expectations and finding your ‘person’ to make that journey and any struggles worthwhile. As ever I highly recommend this book, and all of Kait Nolan’s series. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
