It’s Raining Men

Annie Kyle is a 40 year old concierge doctor. She's single, but because her best friend lives in her basement, she doesn't really feel the sting of loneliness that goes with being single. That is until her best friend gets engaged. After a night out where for once she has more than one drink and an interaction with hot younger bartender Dax, she sends out a text to every single male in her phone letting them know she's looking to get married. She wakes up to two interested responses. Annie being a high paid career driven woman in my opinion was great. By all means please let's make it totally the norm that some women just love their jobs and do well at them. But the way Annie was written didnt even seem like a real person. I couldn't connect with her at all because she seemed so one dimensional. And the fact that Dax was 27 to her 40 was harped on so hard I started to feel like the author wanted us to see Annie as an old lady on a walker and Dax fresh from his high school graduation. While they did eventually end up together, even their interactions seemed stiff and odd. And fast. One page they were meeting and a few forward he was leaving because it wasn't working. Mind you one conversation led to this. One very short conversation at that. This is a great story that just fell flat. The two men who Annie entertained for marriage were part of the story but more so just secondary characters without much depth themselves. This wasn't a bad book, it just had so much potential that it seemed to just not meet unfortunately. Three stars. ⭐⭐⭐ Thank you to NetGalley, Julie Hammerle, and Entangled Publishing for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

A delightful, fun romantic comedy with loads of quirky characters and even a dog named Joanne. Annie is a concierge doctor in Chicago who is about to turn forty and starts to reassess her life when her best friend and roommate suddenly gets engaged and moves out. During an alcohol-fueled evening, she texts 39 of the men in her contacts and tells them she is ready to settle down and asks if anyone is interested. She’s surprised when two of the men reply that they are interested! One if Robert, the son of her mother’s next-door neighbor and her high school crush, and the other is the flashy news reporter Darius. This is a fun, light fast-paced book, that was enjoyable from the very beginning of the book. Annie is a well-developed character who is easy to root for. Dax, Darius, and Rob are all fun characters, with their own flaws and issues that make for a tough decision for Annie. Annie’s friends are quirky and real and add some additional levity to the story. And Joanne, the dog, is a fun, lighthearted addition to the story. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a heartwarming, fun romantic comedy. I received a complimentary copy of this book.
