Sometimes it’s tough to find books about women in their 30’s and 40’s who are still single. I love reading in this genre because they’re usually a bit wiser and have had their share of ups and downs which we can all relate to.
I was excited to review this new romcom as it was just what I was looking for!

OVERVIEW
Don’t drink and text.
Even on the cusp of forty, I had to learn that the hard way. After discovering my best friend, who I was supposed to grow old and single with, got engaged, I drowned my loneliness in one too many Old Fashioneds and woke up with thirty-nine responses from every available man in my phone. Yup, I even texted my plumber…and he turned me down.
Apparently, my liquor-infused text said that while I don’t need a man, maybe I’d be down for a constant sidekick for movies, plus-one invites, and dinner on the table after my grueling shifts as a concierge doctor―till death do us part…and was anyone in?
Through the absolute mortification of thirty-seven rejections, shockingly, I realize two men have said yes. Behind Bachelor Door #1 is Rob, my old high school crush: the comfortable, dependable boy-next-door. Behind Bachelor Door #2 is Darius, the exciting, flashy news reporter about to hit it big. Does this mean I’ll have to get out of my yoga pants and actually go on dates now?
Dax, the local bartender who got me into this disaster in the first place―remember the Old Fashioneds?―can’t believe I’ve given up on finding true love. What does a tattooed, broody twenty-something know about carving out a future for yourself, anyway?
Too bad the further into this hot mess I get, the less I know about who I am. And I’m going to have to figure out exactly what I need if I ever want to find a true happily ever after.
It’s Raining Men by Julie Hammerle Review
I just fell for this delightful story. The author perfectly showcases what happens when a woman gets older, is still single, and her besties are all getting married. Maybe you are married to your job, but are you really happy?
That is just what Annie is dealing with in this coming of age (lol) story. But when her fingers do the walking, she all of a sudden has several men interested in marriage. How do you balance them all?
Hammerle has created the best guys for Annie. They each have great qualities to make them the perfect choice. But one stands out from the crowd and is simply delicious! Plus, he has a sweet pup that makes a star appearance in the story.
It’s Raining Men is loaded with wit and banter that makes the story light-hearted and fun to read. A perfect choice for those who love an easy to read clean romance without the angst!
