Welcome to another Waiting on Wednesday, our special day for sharing upcoming book releases. Hop on over to Breaking the Spine to find out what everyone else is excited about.
I missed last Wednesday, so I am eager to check off one of the books on my list. One of the eagerly anticipated upcoming releases.
In the past couple of years, I have discovered a fairly new author whose work I eagerly await. Maria Murnane has given us such captivating titles as Cassidy Lane and Katwalk, among others. So her newest offering, Wait for the Rain, immediately went on my list. Coming on 2/24/15!
Daphne White is staring down the barrel of forty—and is distraught at what she sees. Her ex-husband is getting remarried, her teenage daughter hardly needs her anymore, and the career she once dreamed about has somehow slipped from her grasp. She’s almost lost sight of the spirited and optimistic young woman she used to be.
As she heads off to a Caribbean island to mark the new decade with her best friends from college, Daphne’s in anything but the mood to celebrate. But when she meets Clay Hanson, a much younger man, she ignores her inner voice warning her that she’s too old for a fling. In fact, this tropical getaway might be the perfect opportunity to picture her future in a new sun-drenched light.
With the help of her friends, Daphne rediscovers her enthusiasm for life, as well as her love for herself—and realizes that her best years are still ahead.

I’ve been mostly reading fantasy lately, but this one interests me. I like the older woman/younger man trope, it’s one that is not seen a lot and I wish more authors did it! And that cover is really pretty! Thank you for sharing.

I love the sound of this as well, Laurel-Rain! It’s good when stories are able to show women that life definitely doesn’t stop in the thirties, and that there are still many more moments of joy, happiness and fun to be had 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
