Description
The devastation of losing her high school sweetheart, her home, and even her dog twists Monica down a destructive path that alienates her from her closest friends and lands her on Quinn’s couch. Despite her efforts to resist jumping into his arms again, the spark between them reignites and sweeps her away on a whirlwind holiday adventure. She finds that falling in love with Quinn’s family and lifestyle is as easy as falling for his ocean colored eyes. The problem is that it’s all too easy, and when she sees that Quinn’s reinvented life has completely shifted towards her dreams, she starts to question whether he’s too good to be true.
Quinn has a secret that was never meant to be kept this long, but will Monica be able to trust another man who’s lied? And now that Quinn’s got his happily ever after in sight, he’s not about to let her go or share her with another man.
Advance Praise
"A.L. Goulden turns up the heat in the series with December Rain. Goulden does an excellent job of investing readers into the life and emotions of the characters and keeps readers fully engaged from one steamy scene to the next." - Bill Howard, Readers Favorite
"A tempestuous and stormy look at relationships and the things people do to and for one another. I loved the settings... Goulden’s characters are complex and engaging, and their responses are unpredictable and feel genuine." - J. Magnus, J Mags Book Blog

Featured Reviews
December Rain by "new to me" author A.L. Goulden, is both an erotic and slightly bizarre love story. Monica is the damaged emotional heroine, still worrying about her ex-husband Alex, while falling madly in love with Quinn, an amazing man and professional artist. Add to the mix a former high school boyfriend that is a little off his rocker, and who is also married to her best friend. And last but not least, a few girlfriends that may never forgive her wanton actions during a night of drunkenness and lunacy. It is no wonder Monica has trouble navigating through life.
Quinn is Monica's rock and his love for her is unconditional. Their passion for each other is scorchingly hot both in and out of the bedroom. Quinn wants Monica to be happy and he does everything in his power to make her feel loved and accepted, by treating her with respect and dignity. They have a lot of fun together, exploring former haunts through each others eyes, spending time with family during Christmas, and experiencing a unique form of dinner theater on New Year's Eve. Due to both internal and external factors, their relationship is stormy yet workable.
Overall, I liked this novel. It is an adult love story that kept me engaged from beginning to end. Both the primary and secondary characters are well-defined and interesting. Although I did not read the first book from the series, I did not feel lost in anyway while reading book two. Naturally, I have put the first book, August Fog, on my TBR list.
