Title: Becoming Rain (Burying Water #2)
Becoming Rain is focused on Boone (best friend of Jesse from Burying Water) and Clara.
Luke Boone is a sexy, rugged man who's been born into a crime. His uncle Rust operates with stolen cars and finds Luke ready to help him. He basically raised Luke and wants him to take over the legitimite part of bussines and sometime in the future even the illegal part of it. While Luke doesn't necessarily like doing illegal stuff, he doesn't want to disappoint his uncle who is like a father to him, he also enjoys the money and girls.
That's until he meets Rain. She's the opposite of what he normally goes after. Even though she's rich, she's also smart and funny and doesn't use him. He starts to fell for her and trust her.
But Rain isn't actually Rain, she's an undecover cop Clara. Her assignment was to get close to him, make him trust her, find information on Luke and Rust and anyone involved, collect enough proofs to arrest them. Even though she tries to fight it she starts to have feeling for him too.
Becoming Rain was filled with a lot more suspense than Burying Water, but it was also bit more confusing. I was feeling so sad for Luke the whole time, because I knew he didn't mean to hurt anyone and he got his heart ripped out in the end.
I was glad that we've got a glimpse of Jesse and Alex, because those two will probably be my favourite couple of this series. Not that I didn't like Luke and Clara, but they missed the "we-are-soulmates" spark.
The ending was predictable, but the whole book was filled with surprises and unpredictable moments. It will keep you on your toes cheering for Luke the entire time you spend reading it.
Overall it was a great book. K.A. Tucker really rocks.
