Rain

Gimme #3

by C.M. Steele

Owen Parker works hard to get what he wants. And he wants her—the beauty that strolled into the bar with his foreman.

When one look steals your entire being, and a rainstorm has her wrapped up in your arms, what could go wrong?
This is a fast-paced, sexy story with no drama, just insta-lust, insta-love, and sugary sweet romance.

This was a quick love story. I did like the fact that Casey went back and finished school. The separation was just right for them and added some depth to the story.

This is the third story in the gimmie series each are quick, sexy and so easy to read.

Casey is in town visiting her cousin during spring break, she is two months away from graduating and is looking forward to starting her life. The last thing she was expecting was to meet the man she was meant to fall in love with. Owen is all that she could ever want but can he really be serious about her but this feels like so much more than a fling. When the time comes will she be able to walk away?

Owen is a successful owner of a construction company and after agreeing to a drink with his workers finds the woman of his dreams, she is sweet and shy and he is determined to have her as his. Can he convince her that when he says she is his forever he means it, he has a week and he is determined that by the time she leaves she knows that they will have each other for life.

C.M. Steele always delivers a sweet story with perfect epilogues. Definitely worth a read during a quiet hour.

Another hit from CM. I love her alpha possessive men! Virgin heroine and celibate hero. Adorable epilogue with 3 kids!

Cute story. I liked it. Flowed well which made for a fast read.

[Amyb1975 · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a great little story. Perfect no angst, no OM/OW drama, H gone for h instantly. The H, Owen sees nothing and no one but the h, Casey. Small, few week separation with no others. I really loved how Casey went back to finish college & not throw her opportunity out the window to stay with him & how Owen couldn't be without her, forcing himself to give her a couple weeks before running to her.
Very good book. Completely recommend!

I keep stumbling on these ridiculous little instalove novellas that all read as if they were written by a ninth grader with a crush on her gym teacher. This one was laugh out loud funny, though I suspect it wasn’t meant to be. I can’t believe there is a market for this crap.

I should point out that errors abound in the novella. In particular, the author has a devil of a time sticking with one tense, changing back and forth even within each sentence.

Also, this snippet of WTF in the epilogue made my day:

“Little? They had to stitch your slit, honey. She’s ten pounds on the dot.”

“Really,” I gasp, entirely taken by surprise. She practically fell out of my cooter.

Rain is book three in the gimme series. This story is short, fast paced and a sweet read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Casey is visiting her cousin in New York when she meets his handsome boss. From the moment she saw him, she felt a connection to him. Owen doesn’t usually go for drinks with his employees but he soon becomes glad that he did. From the moment he sees Casey on Mike’s arm, he has to have her, even if it means fighting his foreman for her. Luckily when he discovers her link to Mike, he doesn’t have to fight him. Casey is visiting for eight days; Owen needs to give Casey a reason to stay with him.
I liked Casey and Owen. The chemistry between them was clear to see and I loved them as a couple. I liked how possessive Owen was of Casey. She was his woman and he wasn’t ever letting her go.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

Crazy fast, crazy sweet, crazy fun! This is instalove the way it should be written, with a sweetheart of a woman and a possessive alpha not afraid to put his woman first. Owen knows, from the instant his eyes land on Casey, that she is his One. A just as importantly, he is hers. Just like the storm that heralds their meeting, their love is lightening fast and just as strong. Casey has a bit of a time believing Owen's declarations of forever, but he's soon able to prove his devotion. Delightful and entertaining, this is a great addition to the Gimme series. Happy Reading!!

Rain rain don’t go away

This is a sweet fast story. I am a huge fan of the insta love genre. Casey is a sweet and shy almost college graduate visiting her cousin in Chicago for spring break. She meets her cousins boss on her first night there. Owen doesn’t usually join his crew out for drinks but boy is he glad he does when a stunning woman walks in on another mans arm. A steamy rain storm follows. Great book

Let it Rain

Another hit from CM. I love the alpha men from this series!! Once they set sights on their women the plan is easy claim and breed! This is exactly what Owen thinks when he first lays eyes on Casey. Their connection is instant and so hot, Casey can’t help but to give into her wants and take what Owen is offering. Only she never could have imagined that it would be forever. Love this series and really hope that Mike gets a story.

[Pixie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fast read/ insta love

The beginning got my attention but through out the story I started to lose it because it was so fast and there was no conflict or a climax. I was expecting something big to happen but nothing it just went fast with no barriers. But it's a good story for a happy goodnight read.

[Kellie · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Felicia Whited · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great short story. Owen knew what he wanted once Casey walked into the bar with her cousin. He knew she was gonna be all his. He took her out to dinner and then back to his place. Claimed her and she went ba k to her hotel during the night sometime and he freaked out calling her cousin so he was there next day to let her know he was serious she was his and no one elses.

Another sexy hit fast read

Owen and Casey is fast and super sexy. He’s such an alpha BUT takes time when Casey has fears. She’s the perfect mix of innocence and spice. Giving as good as she gets, Casey turns Owen’s life up-side down in the best way possible.

[Myeshia Cole · Rating 5 out of 5]

So Yummy!!!!

I love everything about this series. Nothing that Ms. Steele had written had disappointed me yet. I liked this book a lot, even though I am lost on how they are all related. I thought it was a short cute fun read.

[Sarah · Rating 2 out of 5]

The dialogue in this is extraordinarily bad. Here’s a little tidbit: “Little? They had to stitch your slit, honey. She’s ten pounds on the dot.” “Really,” I gasp, entirely taken by surprise. She practically fell out of my cooter.” I think this says it all.

[BobaFett114 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Smexy Insta-love!

Casey is visiting her cousin and they meet up with his friends from work. Her cousins boss, Owen, takes one look at her and that's it. He claims her. Casey does act like an idiot, but she figured her s@@t out.

[Lonnie · Rating 5 out of 5]

The ending though

Lord I laighed at the ending like a crazy person.
Insta love at its best. This author brings it every single time.
Spring break visiting her cousin turns into her forever after with the boss

Straight to the point.

Short and sweet. I love when the story gets to the point quickly.
Great story. Sometimes I need a short one.
Will definitely read much more of C.M.Steele.
My kind of story.
