Desert Rain

By Elizabeth Lowell

She is a contradiction, one woman with two lives. She is Shannon, one of the world’s great beauties, her face and figure gracing the fashion pages of the world’s most elegant magazines. She is also Holly, a fragile innocent, haunted by painful memories of her past—and by dreams of the man who once shared her secrets. She is assured yet vulnerable, irresistible yet untouched.

Destiny has brought Holly Shannon North back to Hidden Springs, where she can be one person, where romance once touched her tender young heart. Here Lincoln McKenzie waits—the proud California rancher, long since hardened by his life’s tragedies. Now, in the icy chill of a desert storm, together they must somehow find the way back to love . . . and rekindle a fire whose healing warmth will truly draw them home.

Reviews for Desert Rain

Honestly, I can handle mediocre writing for the sake of a warm and fuzzy romance novel but this was awful. I absolutely can't stand Linc (the lead male character). How anyone could see past his absolute hatred of women to view this as a functional relationship is beyond me.

Even though I expected a romance in the 80s style, the plot and characters were just horrible. Linc's behavior towards Holly/Shannon is plain disgusting. Her reaction to him is extremely stupid and unrealistic. Which man wouldn't recognize a person anymore just because she wears make-up one day and not the next? He wants to marry her but admits not to love her? How does that make sense?
