    RAINSHADOW ROAD (February 28, 2012)

    From Booklist:
    (Starred Review)
    In one afternoon, glass-artist Lucy Marinn lost her boyfriend, Kevin; her home; and her sister. The fact that Kevin dumps her for her younger sister, Alice, who is moving in with him, forcing Lucy to move out, makes the whole affair that much more painful. As Lucy slowly tries to put the shattered pieces of her life back together, she promises herself that if she should ever become involved with another man, she is never again going to make the same stupid mistakes she made with Kevin. So when Lucy first runs into Sam Nolan, a man who is not now nor will ever be interested in a long-term relationship, Lucy’s first thought is to immediately run in the opposite direction. In the latest flawlessly written addition to her contemporary Friday Harbor books and the first in a new trilogy, Kleypas brings together richly nuanced characters, an emotionally riveting plot, and a subtle touch of the paranormal to create an unforgettable romance that is pure reading magic.


    From Publishers Weekly:
    "
    Kleypas launches the Friday Harbor trilogy with a delightful portrait of a picturesque town where people know everything about everyone and look out for each other. Friday Harbor, Wash., gets claustrophobic for Lucy Marinn when her boyfriend of two years dumps her in favor of her younger sister, Alice. Lucy meets and falls for Sam Nolan and they discover how to love and trust together against the backdrop of his vineyard and her work on a stained glass window. The subtle element of magic is unnecessary, but it evokes sweetness and gives Sam and Lucy a way to build their trust. The relationship between Lucy and Alice is complex, dating back to their childhood, and gives Alice more definition than the usual man-stealing antagonist. Kleypas enchantingly weaves together additional connections with relatives and friends, leaving many dangling threads that will lead the reader straight to book two."

    CHRISTMAS EVE AT FRIDAY HARBOR
    "Kleypas can do no wrong. If you want a fantastic read, pick up this poignant, hearbreaking and deeply satisfying book. Kleypas has a knack for making readers cry, laugh and cheer--often within the first couple of pages."
    Annette Elton, Romantic Times

    LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON
    "Readers have fallen in love with the Hathaways, eagerly anticipating animal-loving Beatrix's story. Unconventional, delightful, touching and unforgettable are watchwords for this series and Kleypas provides a marvelous love story with its depth of emotion, timely themes and a deep-sigh ending."
    --Kathe Robin, Romantic Times
