Do believe in fate, love at first sight, a chance encounter, people come into our lives for a reason, to help change our views on life or help us see what's really important. Ava Lawton didn't until one rainy summer day everything changed for her in a blink of an eye.Ava a recent college graduate, working towards her goal of becoming a Certified Public Account, moved away from her family to start a life of her own in California. With her dream job at Wallman & Wallman she thought she could finally make it, start paying off her loans, get her CPA license, plan a stable future, a secure life on her terms, and make her father proud of her. Unfortunately her life on one particular rainy day took a shitty turn, Ava was fired because her douchebag of a boss wanted her position to be on her knees so to speak.In the midst of Ava's rainy drive home, traffic is a stand still, she spots a beautiful young man playing in the rain with his dog, he was soaked and not a care in the world. "What an idiot" she mutters to herself. Well that idiot noticed her watching him and he approached her car and slid her a note that simply stated, "You're beautiful." Those two words changed Ava that day and she was determined to find out who the mystery man was.That beautiful young man/idiot is none other than Cody Richards, he's carefree, free spirit, determined to make his life mean something. He's made up a "bucket list" of things to do for the summer and fully intends on accomplishing them one way or another. Cody is just the man Ava needs to start her life again, and help her realizes sometimes in life you just have to take a chance.But this young man is also carrying a secret that could potentially devastate Ava. One I did not see coming, I knew he was hiding something, it just blew me away."Don't let life be something that happens while you're looking in the other direction."Can a chance encounter one summer change the lives of two people, can you really fall in love at first sight?"I love you to the stars and beyond."Playing in the Rain is a novella it's beautifully written, an emotional story that has meaning behind it, of two people who meet form a friendship, bond and fall in love, and connect like no other two people can.Jane once again does not disappoint her readers with this one, I'm a big fan."Because life is a journey, not a destination."
