Beth Michele has spun the sweetest tale of friendship, first love, tragedy, and undying devotion. This book took me on a roller coaster of emotions and I loved every second of it! - Cheryl McIntyre, Author of the Sometimes Never series, Dark Calling, Infinitely, and Hard
This story pulled on my heart strings and didn't let go. Beth knocked it out of the park with this bittersweet story of friendship, courage, heartfelt tragedy and devotion.- Kindle Crack Book Reviews

I really loved these characters. They had been through so much in their young lives, and you really want, no, you NEED, them to be together and happy forever and ever. Theirs isn't an easy journey, but the best love stories never are. - The Scarlet Siren

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic story full of heart, emotion and love
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2015

This is a book about hope, love, loss and realizing that oftentimes there are people in worse situations than we are.

The story of Dylan and Evie began when they were very small children. They started out as neighbors, who quickly became best friends. Over the years they were there for one another as both went through joys, unspeakable losses and all the pitfalls of growing up. All along, Dylan was falling in love with the girl who he calls "Hopper" but he was afraid to tell her for fear she wouldn't feel the same and he'd lose her.

As they got older, Evie decided it was time to take a chance on the boy who she couldn't see her life without. After declaring their feelings for one another, the friends began to navigate their relationship as a couple, learning just how much better things could be.

When they are faced once again with a life changing event, these two must dig deep to remember what is most important and they have to fight like crazy to keep their love that is growing deeper by the day from becoming a casualty of terrible circumstances.

This was my first Beth Michele book, but it will not be my last. It was full of emotion, heart and so much love.

I feel like it started out slow then when you get reading about dill and now he feels and evie feels the same it was cute to see how much they loved each other. When the accident happened it changed everything but they founded there way back to together and knew their love was always there and stronger then ever. It was a cute story and I liked that she didn't magically walk again because that made it less predictable. Good read !

Dylan's had it rough. He's plagued by doubts from his past, but even when looking back, he can easily pin-point that one bright light in the darkness--Evie. Since the moment he laid eyes on her when she first moved in across the street, he was hooked. He didn't want her out of his sight. They grew up together, leaning on each other through childhood and high school. Out of fear, they never took their relationship further. They were simply there for each other.

Now, Dylan's still scared, but his grandmother reminds him that time doesn't wait.

This story is written in dual POV from Dylan and Evie. You also get a lot of childhood flashbacks that show the adorableness of the two of them growing up. I don't want to give anything away, but by the end of this story, I was grinning like an idiot with tears streaming down my face. You know that warm fuzzy feeling you get in your chest and stomach when you read something that really touches you? Yeah, totally got that multiple times.

Love is never easy. It's never simple. But those who truly love us stand by us through the good, the bad, and the ugly. Even when we can't see ourselves, they see us and they love us.

OMG Gushing a lot. This book keep popping up on FB recommended by so many FB pages I just one-clicked on it and it moved right up to the top of my to read list...Best Friends to Lovers Story. Dylan and Evie have been best friends forever, she made his world so much better after his mom died just being there for him. Dylan was Evie's rock when tragedy struck her family. Finally they have professed their feelings towards each other when the unthinkable happens. Fighting and clawing their way thru to the top. It's not the perfect ending I imagined but just so beautiful. Dylan has such a way with words and his art I was swooning. Evie loves the rain and that is her own kind of magic. Just Amazing!
And FANTASTIC Playlist!!

I enjoyed reading this romance very much. I have to say that I really loved the first half, then it dragged on a little towards the ending. Very romantic and tender, but most of all very well written.

My emotions ran wild as this sweet love story unfolded. I couldn't put this book down it was funny, sad, happy but most of all devoted.
I want more of Dill and Hopper. These characters will tug at your heart. I fell in love with Dylan and Evie and their memories as a young boy and girl but there teens had my heart filled with love, laughter, sadness, and most of all hope. I'm so thankful I stumbled across this book it left me in the end wanting more and a huge smile on my face!! I absolutely loved this book!!

For the Love of Raindrops by Beth Michele

4 stars!!

“Little did she know, I’d give her the sun, the moon, even the stars. All she had to do was ask.”

This was a really cute, romantic read, I love a friends to lover’s story and this one ticks all the boxes. This book, spans their life from when they were childhood friends until adulthood so we are treated to how they met, how they became friends, how strong their friendship was and how the lines began to blur.

“I see infinite possibility.”

I have to say that Dylan made this book for me; it is rare that you find a perfect character and for me, he was just that. Having never been loved by his parents and always having that feeling of no self-worth, Dylan could have let it define him, but he didn’t. He hasn’t walked away without any scars by any means, but because of his brother and his Nan and especially Evie, Dylan made it and he became a beautiful man of the inside and out. He wasn’t the typical man you read about these days; he was calm, thoughtful, passionate, protective, kind and selfless. This by no means made him a wimp, but he wore his heart on his sleeve yet still maintained his man card.

“You make me glad that I was born.”

Evie was the opposite of Dylan, yet they complemented each other, she was strong and stubborn but her weakness was Dylan. She had her own fair share of heart break and still wore the emotional scars, but Evie and Dylan together were survivors and they had always been there for each other through thick and thin and this was one friendship that would forever stand the test of time.

“It’s funny how no one wanted to pay me attention to me when I was a weed, but once I started becoming a flower, they all wanted to stop and take a whiff.”

Dylan has loved Evie for what seems like forever; well it has been, but that all encompassing love hit him like a freight train. Dylan was always afraid to let his feelings be known in fear of destroying the friendship that they had, he couldn’t live without her so was willing to have her in whatever relationship he could. With words of wisdom from his Nan and brother Dylan decides it is time to make his move, and it is his time to woo, and boy can this man woo.

“Sometimes life doesn’t give us a second chance.”

This was a beautifully crafted story and one that tugs on your heart strings. I will admit a few tears were shed but they were in amongst a lot of swooning too. Their relationship was real; you felt their connection from the start. Their friendship was so strong and would be an incredibly amazing foundation for anything more. They were normal people and typical boy next door, no millionaires, no alphas just pure friendship and chemistry that rocked the pages. I lived with them growing up, I lived with them as teenagers and I lived with them as adults and you just couldn’t help but become emotionally invested in their life story. It was beautiful, it was emotional but most of all, it was real.

“So, what did you feel?”
“Everything, Dylan.”

This is a standalone but I would love to know more about this couple going forward and with a plethora of interesting characters that appeared in this book, I would like to see a few of them have their own stories too, they are all intriguing in their own way and all had their part to play in this amazing story.

“…but sometimes you’re my smile, and you’ve always been my heart. You’ve carried me my whole life…”

This is my first book by Beth Michele but it certainly won’t be my last.

“He kissed her…with the breath of a thousand lives, because that’s how long he’d loved her…”
“And she kissed him right back, because she’d loved him just as long.”
