Sequel to Chaser

The character you loved to hate in Chaser becomes the character you will simply love in Raining Men.

It’s been raining men for most of Bobby Nelson’s adult life. Normally, he wouldn’t have it any other way, but lately something’s missing. Now, he wants the deluge to slow to a single special drop. But is it even possible for Bobby to find “the one” after endless years of hooking up?

When Bobby’s father passes away, Bobby finally examines his rocky relationship with the man and how it might have contributed to his inability to find the love he yearns for. Guided by a sexy therapist, a Sex Addicts Anonymous group, a well-endowed Chihuahua named Johnny Wadd, and Bobby’s own cache of memories, Bobby takes a spiritual, sexual, and emotional journey to discover that life’s most satisfactory love connections lie in quality, not quantity. And when he’s ready to love not only himself but someone else, sex and love fit, at last, into one perfect package.

Excerpt:

Reviews

"While this is a romance novel and deals with the personal cri de coeur of one man, the power of Reed's writing is his ability to provoke deeper discussions about the meaning of gay sexuality in a popular genre like romance."--Lambda Literary Review

"I loved this book. Rick had me at the prologue and wrote one of my favorite epilogues."

--USA Today

"I have a hard time finding the right words for books that change a genre. All I can say is amazing. Marvelous. Enduring. Gut wrenching. Unforgettable."

(GayList Book Reviews)

"Bobby's evolution as a person who is able to love and yearns for a loving relationship is a tour de force, because you start out hating him and in the end are in love with him....truly a remarkable work."

(The Novel Approach)

"The entire book felt as if the author handpicked the characters straight from off the streets, stripped them of their stories and wrote their lives for us to have a glimpse of...

A very remarkable book that forever-romantics would not want to miss."

(MM Good Book Reviews)

Summary: Confronting the past isn’t always easy, especially when you’ve made the biggest mistake of your life. Lauren: Aisling and I were engaged to be married. I loved her, and I couldn’t imagine life without her by my side. But everything changed when I received a letter out of the blue telling me she was cheating on me. I’d never had reason to doubt her, but it placed fears in my heart. Unfortunately, that was what the letter’s sender wanted. It seemed the start of a story I’d heard too many times before, and I took some time away to consider our future together. By the time I returned a few days later, it was too late. Aisling: Years have passed since I ended my relationship with Lauren, but now I've found out who sent the letter that destroyed our relationship. I find myself questioning whether I should contact her again. Is it too late to give her another chance? Her social media accounts say she’s single, but I don’t know if there’s someone else in her life now or how she feels about me. Is it too late to re-discover what might’ve been?

Summary: Kace Hallard leaves Sacramento, bound for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, something he and his father had always planned to do together. When his father realizes he won’t be able to make the trip, he makes Kace promise to go on his own. He takes off, not sure he’s up to the challenge. When he has mechanical trouble a few hours away from home, he questions his choice even more. Striker Johnson is just out buying lunch for the guys at the shop when he notices the handsome stranger in the parking lot checking over his Harley and looking confused. He approaches him and offers his help. The next few hours fly by, and Kace asks Striker to join him. It’s the trip of a lifetime for them both, one man looking to ease his grief, the other riding toward emotions he has no hope of controlling. One way or another they’ll have to decide if they ride together or separately, when life throws them one more curve.
