If she fails to fight back, all she ever could want will be
lost forever.
About the Book: Adeline Gray is the center of attention, the spark of
society but one mistake gets her disowned by her family. She wants to leave
Houston, Texas, forever, but needs a job. She finds salvation in the household
of Keaton Hayes, working as a nanny to his two nephews.
Keaton
is a something of a mystery to all. A bachelor who is successful, chivalrous,
he keeps the ladies guessing. And Adeline is falling for him. She cannot fall
for him. She cannot stay in Houston, surrounded at every turn by her
past mistakes.
But
there are more dangers lurking—beyond the fear of losing her heart. Adeline
must learn to fight back—or everything she would ever want could be lost
forever.
Our Review: First, and perhaps most important, the characters in
this story—indeed the entire Texas Wildflowers series—are so well drawn they
should be used as a blueprint for a workshop in creating memorable characters.
On another topic, this same story is an excellent teaching for establishing goals,
motivation and conflict in the first five pages, then reinforcing then
throughout the story. The Rain Lily is masterfully crafted and carried
through to the very end. Do Not Miss this one. It’s a winner on every level.
Based on a scale
of 1-5, The Rain Lily merits an 8.

I love Kara O'Neal's writing, and you are correct in saying that she creates memorable characters that you feel like you know. I can't wait to read this one and all of the other books of hers that I have on my Kindle. She's one of my favorite authors ever!
