Hope In Every Raindrop (Kyle Walker Book 2) Kindle Edition

Small towns have big stories. That was a lesson Katie’s father taught her years ago. A lesson she’s taken to heart. And right now, Katie is desperate for a big story.

Reeling from the recent loss of her father and with her agent breathing down her neck for the next book, the twenty-one-year-old writer picks a spot on the map and finds herself bound for a middle-of-nowhere town called Bishopville, South Carolina.

Taking a chance on the words of a local grocer, Katie stumbles upon a rare breed of dogs raised by the town doctor and his nephew Kyle. The only problem? Kyle isn’t interested in telling stories—especially not to a big-city girl who can’t seem to sit still. In an attempt to win him over as the clock winds down, Katie finds herself immersed in Kyle’s world, doing everything but writing.

When inspiration finally strikes, Katie is faced with an unforeseen catastrophe and a truth she can no longer ignore. While she has come to love the dogs, the real story may be about Kyle Walker.

Nice light read for dog lovers & people looking for a little romance
Hope in every raindrop focuses on two young people coming to terms with grief and loss. They are brought together by some remarkable dogs on an isolated farm in South Carolina. It's obvious Katie and Kyle will end up with each other from the moment they meet, once they work through the inevitable misunderstandings and miscommunication. Kyle's uncle, Doc, and the dogs help the budding romance along.The author obviously knows a thing or two about the special type of dogs Kyle breeds and trains. They are the true stars of the story. The descriptions of one of the dogs running before the rain storm are intriguing. I like the way the author explores how animals such as dogs can help us work through grief and other strong emotions.This book would appeal to dog lovers, or anyone looking for a pleasant, easy to read romantic story. I personally found the changing point of view from Katie to Kyle and back again jarring but overall it was an enjoyable light read. The plot was at sometimes predictable but entertaining enough to make me want to keep reading. Although it fits in with the story, being a line from a poem with meaning in the plot, the title seems corny to me, but don't let this put you off.

I would recommend this book to everyone. It is very well written, and very difficult to put down. You will fall in love with the characters, all of them dogs included. I was drawn to the first book as a sled dog story but I realized it is more. It is a story about companionship, growing up, compassion and love. I finished both books in four days!

"Hope In Every Raindrop" by Wesley Banks

My Thoughts....

This novel had a well written storyline, with well developed characters...Katie, Doc, Kyle..[the dogs....King and Biscuit] that will keep your attention till the end here in Bishopville, South Carolina. If you are a dog lover...this story would be for you as you will see a 'man interacting with training sled Carolina dogs.' The story involves drama, mystery and yes also a love. In the end will this novelist [Kate Price] get the story she needed for her novel after suffering from writers block? To get that answer you will have to pick up "Hope In Every Raindrop" to see how well this author presents it to the readers. I would definitely recommend especially if you a a dog lover.

This is a fast paced story with a dramatic climax. The story is about an author who stumbles onto a story about the raising and training of dog sled dogs. As Katie, the author, learns more and more about the dogs, I was drawn into their story as well. The man who works with the dogs has his own story and the two stories entwine with a tear - jerker climax. Love and hope ensue and the ending was most satisfying.

I would have to say this is probably one of the best books I've read in years. Been reading for 70 of them. Wesley Banks has put together a story you will remember forever. Characters are very real -you are part of the story. I couldn't put it down. A story of life on a farm raising and training race dogs. Lessons in life. Well worth your time and money. I read on my kindle and want to purchase a signed copy to share with friends. I normally read mysteries. This was quite a change. I also read his second book In Her Eyes and it was also an awesome read. Check it out you won't be disappointed

This is a very well written novel with an interesting
twist to it. It is important to watch the human twist
and then the dogs. They interact all thru out the story. When a novelist (Katie Price) decides to travel across country to get an idea for a book, she never thought that she would meet her true partner (Kyle Walker) in a little corner of South Carolina. Kyle trained sled dogs using Carolina dogs. Katie didn't know anything about dogs but she learned. They fall in love without even knowing until tragedy occurs and it brings them together. The main character to my way of thinking is the dog Kings. He had to have been a thing of beauty..

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book except for the ending
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2018

I enjoyed reading this book but it left a lot questions unanswered throughout the story. It left me feeling unsettled and puzzled. The ending felt like it just dropped off abruptly. And so many questions regarding different things going on throughout the story that were never finished or answered.
The emotional aspect of the story was written well as it tugged at my heart-strings and emotions deeply. I truly felt the rain, sunshine, pain, grief, longing.
I hope Mr. Walker will finish the story and tell us how Katie's book comes out, how it ends, and how it's received by her agent and the public. Where Katie ends up living. How Katie, Kyle, and the dogs lives progress. What happened to Doc's wife, Hannah? What's the whole story behind the cottage?

I received this ebook through ebooksforreview in exchange for an honest review.

This book is the author’s debut novel. I have to say that he has a bright future in writing!

I have to say that I really liked his book. I didn’t really know what to think about it before I started reading it, but I’m very glad I signed up for reviewing it. I read it all in one week-end and even though it’s a pretty short book, I don’t usually read a book in two days.

This was an absolutely beautiful story about a writer in search of inspiration and a dog lover with a story to tell. Maybe it doesn’t sound that great of a story put like that, but it really is. I have to say that the way the author wrote it, it’s just a sweet and touching story. If you love dogs, then you’ll probably love this book. I loved how the dogs really felt like supporting characters and weren’t just a backdrop for the story.

To summarize, I loved the book, would definitely recommend it and am interested to see what this author is going to write next!

There have not been many books recently that made me cry like this one did. I loved it. Katie and Kyle's story was such a simple one and I felt more attachment to those characters than I have for a while. I loved Kyle's mystery and how Katie began to understand his story without him having to say it. Wesley Banks is a very talented writer and I look forward to reading more from him.

3 1/2 stars - This is a very interesting, unique story and I learned a lot.
Pros: interesting subject, dogs' characters were well-developed, and did not want this to end. Made you feel close to nature and how things should be in life. Contained wonderful poetry, inspiring ideas, and gave hope.
Cons: Character-development for the humans, not so much. The 2 protagonists slept together after hardly any contact between them. Get your kleenex ready.
I will be looking at other books by Wesley Banks.

A nicely written story.

The descriptions of the area were well written, the relationships between the dogs/trainer was interesting.

It was very interesting to see the way two people cope with separate tragedies in their lives.

I can see the landscapes in my mind’s eye, I can feel the atmosphere between the different characters.

I am not a ‘dog person’ as such but I really enjoyed this story.
