About this listen
From the Wall Street Journal best-selling author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men (inspiration for the Netflix original series Sex/Life) comes a new-adult romance with a dark dystopian twist.
No getting attached.
Leave before you get left.
Supplies. Shelter. Self-defense.
Survival above all else.
I’ve lived my life by a strict set of rules—rules that have kept me alive, rules that have kept the nightmares of my past at bay. But the moment I met her, I crossed all of them out with a giant X and scrawled the words Protect Rainbow Williams next to them in murderous block letters. That’s all I cared about. Keeping her safe. Keeping her—period.
But Rain doesn’t need me to protect her anymore. The danger is still out there—it’s everywhere—but she has her little found family now, a roof over her head, food on the table … him.
And I have nobody to blame but myself.
In my world, rules aren’t made to be broken.
They’re made to keep you from breaking.
A mistake I won’t make again. Because without Rain, there won’t be anything left of me to break.
Previously published under the title Fighting for Rain.
A comprehensive CW is available on the author’s website.

Story
I can’t remember anymore if my grandfather’s eyes were blue or green, but I’ll never forget the way they wrinkled at the corners when he laughed at one of his own jokes. Or the way they sparkled with mischief when he told me tales about the magical creatures that dwelled in the forest behind his humble Irish sheep farm. As a child, I believed every fantastical word. But when he warned me about the mute boy who also lurked in those woods, the one the priest had declared to be the spawn of Satan himself, I refused to listen.

I am thiiiis close to finally becoming a full-fledged psychologist. PhD? Check. Prestigious postdoc position? Check. Letter of recommendation from my supervisor? That’s going to take a miracle. Not only because my boss said I have to cure our most-prized client’s writer’s block in time for him to meet his insane deadline, but also because that client just so happens to be…Thomas O’Reardon. The wickedly brilliant, achingly beautiful, devastatingly British best-selling author whose psychological thrillers line my bookshelf at home.

Story
For years, I've dreamt of what college life could bring, and while some things changed, there was always one constant. It didn't matter how wild I allowed my imagination to run, it always led me to the same place in the end. It led me to him. My future was clear, and he was it. Until suddenly, he wasn't. Now there's a new man in my life, one who isn't afraid to go after what he wants, and what he wants...is me.

Story
In the Virginia countryside outside of Washington, DC, Addy Wentworth was on a mission to make a new life for herself. When the opportunity arose, she settled in horse and wine country. Experiencing more than her fair share of tragedy and loss, she had plans for her future, one where failure wasn’t an option. And not just because people and cows were counting on her. She’d poured everything she had into her struggling vineyard, because once she’s in, she’s all in.

Story
In fifth grade my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. It didn't take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever. For the next seven years, it was us. She's the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

He was the talented bad boy everyone wanted. I was the irrelevant geek everyone hated. He was the sun...drawing all of us in. I was a black hole...taking up space. He was destined to be a star. I was destined to remain an insignificant no one. Until he made me believe I was special...and then he destroyed me. I never thought I'd see Phoenix Walker again after he broke my heart, but fate had other plans. One tour. Eight weeks. Forty shows. Countless opportunities to make him pay. The world thought he was a god...but I know the truth.

I’d never forgotten him - a man I’d yet to meet. Griffin Quinn was my childhood pen pal, the British boy who couldn’t have been more different from me. Over the years, through hundreds of letters, we became best friends, sharing our deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection I never thought could break. Until one day, it did. Then, out of the blue, a new letter arrived. A scathing one - one with eight years of pent-up anger. I had no choice but to finally come clean as to why I stopped writing. Griffin forgave me, and we were able to rekindle our childhood connection.

Absolutely loved this!
"I wish I could say I was surprised, but after everything I've been through, this just feels like a regular Tuesday."
The wait for this baby was hard. The ending of Praying for Rain was spectacular, and the sneak peak of this one she put at the end? I'm pretty sure I threw my Kindle. A. Maz. Ing.
Fighting for Rain picks up right where Praying for Rain left off. It's the day after the end of the world, and the world is still there. But the fight to survive has only just begun. After everything Rain and Wes had been through, you didn't really expect rainbows and butterflies, did you? No matter how much this couple deserves just that, there's still a lot left to do to get to where they need to go. And O. M. G. The ride on this one! Hold on to your hat, because it's going to get tough.
The characters in this book were fantastic. There's a whole host of new ones that gave me all the feels - although a few of those were on the strong side of "I want to punch you in the throat." But those sweet ones, the ones that had me tearing up, were also some of the best. There was one point where I'm pretty sure I choked on my drink before spitting it across the room. There's a good chance you'll know it when you see it, so.... be careful of what you're drinking. You'll thank me for that.
We all know this is a trilogy. Of course there's going to be a cliffy, something to entice you to come back for the last book. But the cliffy here? Yeah, it'll have you diving off the cliff and frothing at the mouth as you wait for the conclusion to this amazing book.
The performance on this audiobook was great. I had to adjust the speed on the first book, as I had troubles dealing with the random pauses of the male narrator, but he wasn’t as bad in this book and I was able to keep the speed normal and enjoyed the whole book.

OMG I need more
I barely survived this book, the long wait was totally worth, but now I need the next one. This book made me feel like I was running a marathon, my heart is still recovering. The amazing suspense from book one definitely has nothing to this one, Wes and Rain's story is so different from what I usually read, and well BB Easton surprised us all with the new apocalyptic theme to her books. In this book Wes and Rain are tested to the limit, new world to try to stay alive, but the twists in the story keep you on the edge of your seat for the full ride. Brilliant must read book series. I can't wait to read the conclusion and find what happens next. I definitely give a standing ovation to the author for giving me a ride of a lifetime with this trilogy!

Interesting ideas, but they aren’t fully realized
Audible listen. I like the female narrator, and the male narrator has grown on me. The male narrator fits Wes well. The female does a good job with all the characters. A good listening performance.
This is book 2 and follows right after the ending of the last book, so I’d recommend reading the previous book before this one. I’m going to go with a 3 rating for this one because I preferred book 1 and gave it a 4 rating. This one didn’t have much story to it besides the mental and emotional issues that Rain is having, so there wasn’t really any growth of character for her. She’s scared to go outside now, so she ends up staying in a bad situation because she’s too fragile. She still can’t handle much emotionally, and gloms onto whoever is available. Rain and Wes join a group of survivors at the mall; Rain’s ex is part of the group, and it’s run by an annoying, ridiculous character called Q. She’s around Rain’s age, and for some reason, even the adults let her boss them around. Q is particularly mean to Rain. Q and the other characters involved in this whole staying at the mall are characters I didn’t care for. Wes does not want to stay at the Mall, so he ends up leaving Rain there because she tells him she doesn’t want to leave. Wes still has that leave them before they leave you mentality; he does have sweetheart tendencies, but he’s still combating past trauma. The reasoning behind what was happening with the supposed apocalypse wasn’t satisfactory; I don’t see how there aren’t more leaders or whoever to stop the broadcasting of murders for a totally stupid reason. It doesn’t make sense, and wasn’t properly thought out. The story is still interesting, and I already own the paperback and audio for the next book, so I’ll give it a go. I just hope Rain stops coming across as so pathetic; she has trauma in the past, but her reactions seem excessive. I want to see her stand up for herself more and thrive!
