Summary
Eric Yoshida has worked hard to provide a great living for

wife he meant to spend the rest of his life with, finally committing the ultimate
betrayal of their love.
All seems to be over until Kyra loses part of her memory in
a car crash. Will Eric have a second chance at love? Or will Kyra remember his
wrongdoing and ask him to leave forever?
My Review
Gina Holmes delivers another heartfelt story in Dry as Rain.
Although this one didn’t bring me to tears like Crossing Oceans did, I enjoyed
reading Dry as Rain. It evoked a desire to give Eric a good talking to, yet it
produced a yearning for Kyra to find forgiveness, as well.
Tackling the issue of adultery, Gina didn’t water it down,
make excuses for it, or glorify it. She told it like it is. Not every story has
a happy ending, and I applaud her realistic look at a marriage gone wrong.
There is no fluff in this novel, and that elevates her as a true storyteller in
my eyes. She didn’t candy coat the circumstances surrounding her characters.
They are incredibly believable, and reading the novel played like a movie in my
mind.
I highly recommend Gina Holmes’ novels. If you are looking
for women’s fiction dealing with real life issues and an honest, believable
approach to them, her books are for you.
