So, we have opposites, a newly-out character, and a weekend camping trip. Bring on the marshmallows! Oh, you want uncomfortable tent smex? Well, there’s a little bit of that too.Henri is a little bit of a jerk at the start, but it’s just his prickly outer layer. He’s snarky, overdramatic, and truly a sweetheart under all the fuss. Logan is a big, corn-fed, Texan softy. Naturally, it’s very much entertaining to watch the two interact when they first meet.After the Rain is adorable marshmallow fluff. The story is simple, and most of it takes place over the course of one weekend. So it is insta-luv. However, since that weekend is almost the entire book, I only realized that everything moves at warp speed in retrospect.I liked that Henri grows a little, that he takes a chance on a nice guy after his string of horrible boyfriends. Of course, Logan is the perfect candidate since he is just the teddiest Teddy Bear that ever was. Their interactions together made for the best bits of the book. They were amusing, frustrating, and in the end very sweet.This is a light read, it has its steamy moments (because, Daisy Harris), and it’s relatively angst free. Although, it’s not all sunshine and roses; the book does deal with some serious issues, and I really like the way it’s all handled. In the end, even though I don’t think it will stick with me for a long time, After the Rain left me in a great mood. It was instantly added to my re-reads pile, and I hope Michael’s story is next!Note: The Kindle edition ends at 89%.3.5 Stars
