About this listen
Everett
After my infamous half-a-night stand with the mysterious Rayne, I moved on with my life. Success as a lawyer demands long hours and giving a hundred and ten percent to the job. I do carve out enough time to hang out with friends some weekends, but it's depressing to watch them pairing up while I'm relentlessly single. Then one morning, the man I can't forget shows up bruised and bedraggled at my office door. Rayne has a whopper of a story to go with the bruises, and seeing him again strikes wild sparks I can't deny, but can I trust a man who ditched me without a word? Or will he be gone again by morning light?
Rayne
As a private investigator, I've done some dubious jobs for some very questionable people. The assignment that brought me into Everett's world was one of the worst. Now, someone's trying to kill me and until I figure out who and why, I need a safe place to hide. All I could think of was Everett. The hot, by-the-book lawyer I hooked up with once doesn't owe me a thing, but he's the only person I trust. I'll do my damnedest to keep danger from reaching him, and hope like hell I can walk away in the end with my heart intact.
Rayne’s Return is a gay romantic suspense novel with an uptight by-the-book lawyer and a PI who never manages to stay out of trouble. The age-gap opposites attract novel is the fourth in the Love in Mission series.

I enjoy the way Grey has built this world in Mission City. This picturesque Canadian town is filled with such charming characters. If you haven't read all the books in the series you will be tempted by a few of these characters lol.
The audio version of the entire series of Gabbi Grey's Love in Mission City is beautifully performed by Michael Dean.

Everett has not been able to stop thinking about Rayne and regrets not getting any information from him.
Imagine his surprise when Rayne shows up at New Year's, very obviously injured.
Everett immediately wants to get him medical help but Rayne won't let him because he's in danger.
Instead they end up at a friend's ranch.
These two very quickly realize they want something serious together but Rayne has been hurt by those closest to him so he's leery of letting someone in.
I loved the sweet scenes with the rescue dog and the mystery aspect kept me interested until the end.
Michael Dean did an amazing job narrating and bringing these characters to life.

The MCs met after a one night stand, with Rayne doing a disappearing act. Now they meet again under different circumstances - Rayne is in danger, wounded and the only safe place he can think of is going Everett's as a safe haven.
This is a part suspense, second chance romance, with a dash of angst, lots of found family vibes a dog and a happy ending:)
Michael Dean is a talented voice actor, but NGL, I struggled a little to differentiate between to MCs halfway through the book. It may have been because there some slow spots in the story. Overall, I would recommend both the story and narration, it was a good way to experience the story.

I loved the previous book in this series, but unfortunately this one just didn’t work for me. One of my pet peeves in books is when a main character keeps their backstory a secret from the reader (keep it from the other main characters all you want), but unless I KNOW why I should be sympathetic towards Rayne the whole book just won’t make sense.
This, plus the over abundance of side characters made the story feel a bit disjointed overall and hard to follow. If there had been more focus on their romance (possibly via forced proximity staying in Everett’s house), and not 4 side plots then it would’ve worked a lot better for me.
Great narration

Two months after the events in Rayne Check, Rayne suddenly shows up injured on Everett's doorstep, who of course offers to help him.
I liked Everett right from the start. He loves his job, is a workhorse and stands up for justice. I had my difficulties with Rayne at first and it took me a while to become comfortable with him. This may be because you don't find out very much about his background.
There were various storylines and there is a case to solve. I thought the suspense part was good, although it only really picks up towards the end of the book. In between, it's mainly about the developing relationship between Everett and Rayne. The connection between the two is definitely there, but Rayne has doubts because of his past. Do they have a chance?
What I loved was the rescued dog that Rayne takes care of - the dog was my secret hero and there were some cute scenes with him.
Michael Dean did a great job as narrator, he has a pleasant voice and a good pace of speech. However, for once it wasn't always immediately obvious which of the two protagonists was speaking.
Wonderful story

The narration by Michael Dean was good, but I sometimes had trouble telling who was speaking and had to go back to the chapter beginning to remember whether it was from Everett's or Rayne's POV. Sometimes, I also couldn't tell if the dialogue was actually being spoken out loud or was only internal.
I received a free copy of the audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

If you’re a fan of the other Love In Mission City books you’ll recognize some of the secondary characters in this one but this also stands alone just fine. I can highly recommend the other books and hope you’ll give them a try.
I loved it!

Rayne’s Return picks up from there and sets an exciting premise for the book, with Rayne turning up at Everett’s door, banged up and hurt. It sets up a great mystery over who is after Rayne. Unfortunately the mystery aspect is barely addressed until the very end of the book, while the majority of it is focused on Everett feeling hurt by Rayne and trying to work out who Rayne is.
