Loving the Rain

by Jeff LaFerney

Clay Thomas had encountered Jack Harding twenty years before, when Jack was a brash teenager, hungry for success. Born with the uncanny ability to manipulate minds, young Clay occasionally used that skill to his advantage-but he recognized the moral consequences and vowed to keep his secrets to himself. Though he never knew of Clay's ability, Harding is convinced his former adversary is to blame for his past humiliation, and sets out to exact revenge. He first strikes at Clay through his talented son, Tanner, a star athlete who is beginning to recognize his own emerging powers. Stopping Harding's criminal activities could force Clay to expose his secrets-but could also finally offer him some peace. Loving the Rain is a dramatic novel about the power of unconditional love, unreserved forgiveness, and the importance of allowing others to make their own choices.

Here’s a book that took me by complete surprise. When the author told me it had a lot of sports in it, I wasn’t too keen to read it, but because I’ve read the other two books in the Clay and Tanner Thomas series, I was curious to see where it all started. As with “Skeleton Key” and “Bulletproof”, the second and third books in this series, “Loving the Rain” also turned out to be an exceptional read!

Written with what I’ve come to recognize as the author’s signature tongue-in-cheek humor and an insightfulness into the human character, Jeff LaFerney not only explores the upside of what it is like to have parapsychological powers and the power to manipulate minds; but also the consequences of what happens when good people use those powers irresponsibly, no matter how well intended. Of course, no mystery novel is complete without a vengeful villain, and Jack Harding is no exception. His character adds new dimension to the term “bad guy”.

This being the author’s first novel, I’m adequately impressed by his impeccable writing which enticed and engaged me from the very start of the book. Solid characters, gripping dialogue, a surprise tearjerker ending, and a unique plot which keeps the reader guessing and in suspense until the very last page, makes “Loving the Rain” a memorable book.

To sum it all up in one sentence - Jeff LaFerney’s writing is an absolute joy to read, and this book deserves a rating of ten stars!

I’ve been happily on a roll on reading some great stories, this one is no exception to it. I had a hard time putting this one down. Even though I’m not big on reading sports stories, this one kept my interest throughout the entire book.
Clay Thomas was a linebacker in high school and could manipulate minds. He had a run in during basketball and football from Jack Harding who was determined he was going to beat Clay. It didn’t work out his way. Years later, Clay was a math teacher and high school baseball coach and married to Jessie. They had a son named Tanner who had the same abilities as his dad but no one was privy to them, at least not yet.
Jessie wasn’t happy in her marriage. Something always seemed to be bothering her. She was meeting someone that no one knew about and was not a good person. Jack was determined to make Clay pay for all the years of making him look bad. But how was he going to be able to do it so it didn’t come back on him? Revenge would be sweet as far as he was concerned.
Mr. LaFerney did a wonderful job on this story and it was a privilege to read it.

Summary: Mind powers are to be kept unused and secret. At least that’s what Clay Thomas believes until a determined rival from his past enters his life, seeking revenge. When Clay discovers that his athletic son has his own mind powers, they set out together to undo consequences from Clay’s past and to put an end to Jack Harding’s plans. As his enemy closes in and Clay and Tanner’s powers grow, Clay is forced to choose between protecting his secrets and protecting those he loves most. Loving the Rain is a suspenseful story about an exceptional man forced to face the choices of his past and the extraordinary love and forgiveness that finally offer him peace from a lifetime of secrecy.
.The Review
Well, what can I say, I really enjoyed this book, To be perfectly honest with you, I thought I would hate it, I am not a huge fan of sports, especially sports I don’t know, (I know that’s most of them, lol you can stop laughing now) but I learnt a lot from Jeff about the all American games in this book, Jeff really opened up my mind to reading sport, Thankyou that will make my hubby very happy.
I wouldn’t say there was much in the way of paranormal going on in this book as Clay spent more time trying to stop Tanner making the same mistakes he had made in his past, but there was some psychic abilities going on, which was nice especially interspersed with the sports games that were being played, I really loved how Clay focused a lot on what he had used his abilities for and the damage it had done in the past and why he didn’t want Tanner going down the same road, this is what made the book for me, the worry, that every parent goes through made 20 times worse because it constantly makes you feel guilty and he didn’t want his son going through that, Jeff wrote those parts really well.
Jessie (Tanner’s mum) had a true friend in Carlee, she went above and beyond for a friend to look out for them, I loved her cousin, although I don’t think he starts out as a nice character but Pete Piggot really came through in the end, Well done Pete. I cannot believe that Clay went through what he did with Jessie, but MY GOD, Why did you have to make me cry, I won’t say because I don’t want to spoil it for everyone, but all that have read it will know exactly what I am talking about, right, so sad, make sure you have tissues ready, I wasn’t prepared and lay there in my bed trying to keep my snivelling quiet as my hubby was asleep next to me.
This is a great read and I would highly recommend this book to everyone, I would give this book 4/5, I can’t wait to get stuck into Skeleton Key the next book by Jeff LaFerney

Loving the rain by Jeff LaFerney

3*

Clay has lived his life keeping his power of mind control secret, not telling anyone, not even his wife about his ability. He generally refused to use his influence to benefit his life, preferring to earn his achievements the natural way, but the odd slip along the way has long term consequences that he is forced to deal with now. After spending years feeling isolated thinking he is the only one, he discovers his son Tanner has inherited the ‘gift’ too and finally he has someone to talk to about it, and a partner to help fix passed wrongs.

Loving the rain is a quick read, it started out slow and didn’t pull me in right away. I found the sport terminology a little confusing as it is an American game, one I have absolutely no understanding of but that is a personal issue and something I didn’t take into account when working out my final rating value. I was expecting more in terms of the paranormal side, a little more action or drama around it, but this wasn’t the case. The book concentrated on the effects of the power more than them using the power.

As the pace picked up Jeff did a good job of building the tension but I still felt it lacked ‘umph’ in some of the scenes and the characters reactions didn’t feel real in certain situations. It will be interesting to see where this story is going to go next and I will read book 2 in the series ‘The Skeleton Key’.

Review 6******

This book is a wonderful and suspenseful read, and it kept me riveted!

Clay Thomas has been living with a secret that has been eating him up for a long time, because he cannot speak to anyone about it and share the burden; As a teen, he found he could influence people by thought alone. He is a very complex character, but he loves his wife and son. He does seem to be aloof, but that's because he is afraid of his powers. Instead of embracing them, he is ashamed and tends to avoid eye contact.
Tanner, his son, is a fantastic sportsman who has a lot of confidence and good leadership abilities. He is very charismatic, and has an intensity about him that is almost palpable.
There are some other great characters in this book, but special mention should go to the Coach. He is certainly a colourful character!

Although I am not an avid sports fan, I loved how Jeff Laferney has woven a story through the use of sport. The story is told through different points of view, and the reader is masterfully drawn into the action. And what action! The sports (American Football and Basketball) are intense and nail biting in their description. I certainly felt like I was actually sitting watching them! I am now looking forward to reading the next book, The Skeleton Key. I highly recommend this book if you love a great suspense/action novel.

Clay discovers as a teen athlete he can influence people with his mind. When he uses mind-control to win a few football and basketball games, he makes an inadvertent enemy. Clay thereafter decides using his powers is unethical, but he creates a dilemma for himself. Because he must keep his mind power secret, he can't truly form an intimate relationship with his wife and son. As his son comes into his own as an athlete, Clay begins to suspect they share the same ability. At the same time, Clay's old enemy resurfaces, seeking revenge for events Clay has long since forgotten...

As I read this book, I envisioned millions of men watching sports, WISHING they could control minds to win the game! I would recommend "Loving the Rain" to anyone who ever fantasized about playing sports or who is an avid sports fan. I found the parapsychology aspects to be fascinating, especially when Clay is chewing over his moral responsibilities. As the bible says, when someone has been given much, much will be required in return. (Luke: 12:48) It's an aspect of having "super-powers" that's not often considered.

It was really cool when Clay's son begins to exhibit the same sort of powers...and uses them for good. I enjoyed this story, with its unique blend of sports and psychology, with a little thriller action too.

[Claire Taylor · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a quick read, has a good storyline and the author goes into great detail, making it easy to imagine the story as it unfolds. You see the story from several characters perspectives, and learn how they are all feeling and what they are thinking as the story moves on.

Those looking for people using super powers left, right and center in order to reek revenge will be a little disappointed, as the book concentrates more on how these powers affect their relationships with other people, and the effects of using the powers - even years later.

Looking forward to reading the next book, Skeleton Key soon.

Imagine you had the power to change people’s minds if only they could look into your eyes. What would you do with that power? Yeah, I can hear you? You’d had dated the most gorgeous person in school, you probably would have been the best sports player in school, maybe you’d be making some pretty good money (“eyed” your way into some good bonuses over the years) but that is not what Clay has accomplished with his special power over the years. No, he has a conscious and that has stopped him using his gift for selfish reasons. He’s had the gift since being the teenager and he has kept it a secret. Clay has gotten married to Jessie and he thought things were going great between the two of them but because of his lack of eye contact and distant, Jessie is having some doubts. And any doubts in a relationship aren’t good. While married, they did have a son named Tanner who is a fantastic athlete like his father. One day, Tanner realizes something strange, he has some special power, some strange ability to change minds and he takes advantage of it. Like father, like son. Clay becomes aware of the son’s ability and finally after all these years, he has someone he can talk to, but can they keep this a secret. What other special powers do they have? There is just too many things coming unraveled all at once and they all come at a cost.
I had a hard time getting into the book at first, it seemed too jumbled up and disconnected- like the pieces didn’t connected. After I read about ¼ of the book, I finally understood what was going on and then I knew the pieces and the book was coming together. I liked the second half of the book better and thought the characters flowed better and the drama was faster. I could relate to the basketball parents who were screaming and yelling in the stands and the drama that surrounded that. Good mix of characters too. There is a lot of drama surrounding sports and then to have the ability to “tell” someone who is playing in a game, just adds to the tension of the game - the author did a good job describing the emotions. I’m ready for Skeleton Key……

I received this book from the author to give an honest review.

May contain spoilers:

Loving the Rain is the first book in Clay and Tanner series. Filled with sports, mind bending powers, mystery and a father/son relationship this is a great book to get into. There is no graphic parts no explicit language, just a good ol' book.


What would you do if you had the power to read people's minds or get people to do what you wanted them to do? What would happen if you were married and you didn't want that person to feel guilt. Would you be able to tell the person you love of the power you had for over 20 years?

All these questions are answered in this book. Clay has been living with his secret for years and has never had anyone to talk to about it. That is until he starts noticing certain things going on with his son, who by the way is an amazing sports player.

Now while Clay has been keeping this secret, from everyone he soon learns the consequence of keeping this secret from his love one. His wife knows Clay is hiding something but what she doesn't know and it ends up pushing her into the arms of someone else.

Clay of course can tell something is bothering his wife, but while dealing with what is going on with him he has a tendency to ignore all what is going on around him, which really started to bother me. I wanted to shake Clay and say HEY WAKE UP!
Tanner his son is starting point in basketball and of course this makes a parent so upset because it brings up memories of what happened to him when he was in school playing sports. He has a grudge against Clay, and he will stop at nothing to humiliate Clay in any way possible.

Janie Clay's wife finds herself feeling as though she is losing her husband and her marriage and goes into the arms of a man name John. Now mind you there is a whole twist with this guy because I so did not see this part coming in the book. I was going oh wow no way!

The title of this book is great for it. Because Janie loves the rain always has and for some reason Clay and Tanner do not. Towards the end which was a surprising twist it all makes sense.

[Icy_Space_Cobwebs · Rating 5 out of 5]

“Loving the Rain” engrossed me as much as did author Jeff LaFerny’s more recent novels (“Skeleton Key” and “Bulletproof”) for several reasons. Despite my disinterest in sports, I found myself immediately involved in “Loving the Rain” (yes, that title has a major pivot in the book) because the author leads two of his main characters-father and son duo Clay and Tanner Thomas-through some serious moral and philosophical obstacles. Here are two individuals, both of whom are cursed, or gifted, with mental abilities that are extraordinary and not usually available to others, in both cases quite possibly due to birth trauma. Each is confronted with a fork in his path, in the sense that he must decide how to use these abilities, or indeed, whether or not to use them at all. Should Clay, or should Tanner, influence others? If so, whom? Spouse? Children? Parent? Grandparents? Maybe teachers, coaches, professors, teammates? Best friends or girlfriends? When one considers that these two individuals can quite literally change anyone’s mind, this quickly becomes not a moot point at all, but a very serious question.

Another reason this novel so intrigued me is that it is the beginning of the Thomas family saga, and events occur here which will literally change the lives of both father Clay and son Thomas, explaining situations that are present in the latter two books. Additionally, the writing is so smooth-flowing that the reader will be at the end almost without realizing it, caught up in the attitudes, the events, and as well, the villainy which will face off against the Tanners and attempt to ruin both their lives.

The author provided me with a copy of this novel in exchange for my fair and honest review of “Loving the Rain.”

My review (as published at Read, Run, Ramble)

Loving the Rain by Jeff LaFerney is a fun and intriguing mystery with a twist!

Father and son team, Clay and Tanner, have extra “mental abilities”. These abilities are a blessing and curse all at once and readers will learn each side through both men’s experiences in this novel. This part of the story is highly interesting and I loved it. Clay and Tanner struggle with their abilities and try to understand them throughout the story. What they could never know is that there is an unknown danger getting closer and closer to their family – can the mental abilities get them out of it, or will they only serve to make things worse?

Another added element to LaFerney’s mystery tale is sports – lots of sports. Basketball with a little football to be more specific. Now, I’m a sports fan so that worked for me. The author’s love of sports is very clear and it added to the excitement both Clay and Tanner feel about the sports in their lives.

Mystery readers love a good bad guy and this book has one. Actually, it has a couple and they’ll get right under your skin and make you squirm at their pure criminality and evilness. But, don’t assume you have things all figured out; there are definitely some twists and turns to keep the intrigue at high level.

An engaging, well-written and suspenseful novel, Loving the Rain kept me turning pages until about two in the morning (and I do love my sleep)!!

[Sallie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I know it's been said before, but I'm putting it out there at the front. This book has lots of sports in it. If you can't push past the sports elements, you're going to have a hard time reading this story. Okay, I've done my duty, now on to the review.

Loving the Rain is the story of Clay Thomas and how the choices he made have a rippling effect in his life with consequences far beyond what may or may not have seemed evident. Years later, Clay Thomas must face the results of decisions made as a young man. Clay Thomas will face betrayal and traverse roads of deception. In Loving the Rain, Jeff LaFerny has married two genres not commonly found together, sports and the paranormal. Both Clay and his son, Tanner Thomas, have the power to manipulate minds. Imagine the harm that can be birthed by such powers if used irresponsibly.

There was just too much sports in the story for my tastes. I literally had to force myself to finish this book. The exhaustive descriptions of high school games seemed to never end. But I'm glad I did forge on. Loving the Rain is full of secrecies and intrigues. And Jeff LaFerny is an excellent writer, talented and skillful. I recommend this book if you're in the mood for a great paranormal sports-action story.

Loving The Rain by Jeff LaFerney is the first book in the Clay & Tanner Thomas novels. This book and series is a must read for anyone who loves well written, suspense-filled stories with plot twists/turns and heartfelt emotions. I have to begin by saying that I read the author's books out of order because each book, although tied to each other, can be read as a stand alone novel. (I love that about this series because I have just discovered that I personally dislike cliffhangers!)

Clay Thomas seems to have it all - a beautiful wife of 20 years, a handsome and talented son, a wonderful job and a secret supernatural power. But, life can change in an instant and the smallest action or inaction can set in motion a sequence of events that can change someone's life forever. Will Clay's power prove to be a blessing or a curse? I guess you will have to read Loving The Rain to find out!

My thoughts - I loved that this book and storyline is original and the author keeps you guessing as to what the final outcome of the story will be. He also ties up any loose ends and the story blends together extremely well. The only element that I had a hard time with is all the sports jargon. I know it is necessary for the dynamics of the story but for me, it was a little too much.
Even having said that I still give this book 5/5 stars - check it out!!

[Sarah Baethge · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loving The Rain by Jeff LaFerney is the first book in a trilogy about a father and son who both have nearly supernatural mind-powers stemming from difficult births. This book is also a story about the anger and importance that some people can’t help but put into high school athletics. As cool as mind control power might seem, would you really want to be the one who has it?

Before you answer, let me bring up a couple of large problems addressed in this book; would you really want someone to love you if you were left forever questioning whether or not the feeling came from their own free will? Is it worth it to win a game if it only happens because you unfairly made your opponent fail?

And if you were left to watch your best work come to nothing as good rained upon another person, might it not engender a slight amount of hatred, even if you didn’t know your opponent’s full responsibility?

That’s not to say that knowing would make it any better. Could you trust someone if you knew that any feelings of trust might just be what they want you to feel?

I like this book. The characters felt real, and the story left me thinking.

[Pam Thomas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jeff Laferney has once again excelled at the mastery of another of his suspense novels. It is a compelling read filled with questions, motives and reasoning behind the story line. We once again find Clay Thomas overcoming his guilt, finding his sense of right over wrong and how by using his abilities to control the mind powers he becomes a better person.

By confronting his gremlins head on and acknowledging that his son who also has the same powers, he overcomes any fears he hay have had and is able to appreciate others who also possess these abilities.

Each of us has the ability to use mind powers, its just we are not sure how to go about these things, instead we blunder through life not realizing what capabilities these powers can impact on our lives.

Its about channeling them for the right reason and not to control others.

Highly Recommended and Must Read

Just wanted to write a note on how much I enjoyed this book. I actually enjoyed the play by play sports in this book, I enjoyed that it was mainly from a guy's perspective and I also enjoyed how the Author wove a tale of love, heart ache, trust, revenge, and did it all with plain 'ole GOOD writing in this novel. I just purchased Book #2, Skeleton Key, and can't wait to read more of Clay & Tanner's story.

& just for kicks-- this was one of my favorite sentences in the whole book...I could picture exactly what the Author was trying to portray and found myself snorting in laughter and a bit disgusted all at the same time! :)

"He had such tiny, meaty, sweaty hands that he couldn't get a good grip on a handshake, leaving whomever it was that he met to feel as if he or she was squeezing a small, wet guinea pig."

I received this book free from the author for a fair and unbiased review.
The book is the ideal male read, I must confess the sport went way over my head, but it did nothing to distract from the story. I loved Clay's wife, she was very human, very fallible and very faulted. But in the perfect word of fiction she was a breath of fresh air. Clay made some decisions with which I could sympathize but what I admired the most is the presence of mind Tanner displayed, his upbringing over riding temptation. This part was very well narrated. I loved the novelty and the unique plot of the book and would recommend it as a must read to all paranormal genre lovers.
I give this book a 6 * review rating.

Clay has psychic powers, he keeps them to himself until he finds out that his son has them as well. Clay and his son Tanner will have to work together to deal with it. Clay has to teach Tanner about the responsibilities as well as the consequences of misusing his powers so that Tanner can avoid making the same mistakes that Clay did in his past. During all of this, someone from Clay's past comes back to haunt him and he will have to deal with the things he has done and the secrets he has kept. This book is infused with sports, it is weaved into the story, but it won't bother you at all. The characters are well developed as is the story line. This book has a bit of everything, secrets, psychic abilities, lies, sports, love and friendship. Great read for anyone.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I began reading this book. I'm not a huge sports fan, so I was afraid I would be a bit lost as I got into the story. However, that was not the case. While sports are certainly a driving force in this book, the storyline itself rests upon its wonderful and diverse characters.

I thouroughly enjoyed this book and read the bulk of it in one sitting, eager to find out what would happen next and I was not disappointed! The twist in the end was completely unexpected and more importantly, I was happy with the way the author tied everything up, giving me the needed closure while still leaving things open for the possibilities of more to come in the future :-)

This is the second Jeff LaFerney book I've read and I've loved them both. I look forward to reading more. Yes, there are a lot of sports in this book, but if you're not a sports fan you can certainly look past this. I found myself growing attached to the characters and I want to see what happens throughout the series. I believe it really made me think about what would I do if I were given the abilities that Clay and Tanner have. Also, how would it affect those around me if I didn't tell them about my abilities.

There is alot of sports in this book, but being a sports fan I didn't mind. Please don't let that deter you from reading this wonderful piece of work. The story as a whole really works. Without the sports it just wouln't be the same. There is alot going on in Loving The Rain, and the author does a great job at navigating you through the different pov's.

This was a good read - not great - but quite good. It is set in the area where I live, so it was very neat seeing references to places and things I am familiar with. Some reviewers have mentioned how long the sports descriptions are, and I would have to go along with them, that they can get a bit tedious, but they work. The way 'special' mental abilities are presented is very cool. That is what made the book for me. I will probably read more by this author.
