Review: It’s Raining Men by Hollie Smurthwaite

December 6, 2025

Synopsis:

When the local commune is a coven, it’s not pouring water… It’s Raining Men.

Drawn into a witches’ spell by her runaway dog, a frazzled woman stumbles upon her dream man—literally conjured to fulfill her desires. And she has no idea what to do with him.

Sahara’s life is a mess: broke, betrayed, and roasting in a record-breaking heatwave—with no air conditioning. But when her dog bolts into Willowbark Retreat, things go from bad to bizarre.
Outside, it’s pouring water. Inside? It’s raining men.
Turns out, the quirky commune ladies are actually witches who’ve conjured perfect men: gorgeous, obedient, and magically programmed to fulfill their every sexual whim.

When one of these creations imprints on Sahara, she’s stuck with Cortland—frustratingly stubborn, shamelessly seductive, and relentless in his pursuit of sex. She wants him just as much, but giving in while he’s bespelled would mean betraying principles she refuses to compromise.
While Sahara scrambles to break the spell and her libido battles her better judgment, she reluctantly leans on a group of romance heroes desperate to escape their own enchantments.
They raid her fridge, clutter her space, and—slowly but surely—win her heart. Sahara must decide if she’s ready to stop just surviving and start fighting for the love and family she never thought she deserved.

Review:

I appreciate books, that try to do something different, while keeping certain known elements. The overall story combined interesting elements, which I enjoy most of the time. We have magic and witches (always a plus), we have an unlikely bond of characters (I’d take them in a heartbeat), a couple that started based on a physical component but evolved to something more along the way. My personal favourite: Raining Men that represent what a woman desires (interestingly that offers a lot of variety).

Combine that with heavy dose of humour and sarcasm and we get a very entertaining story, that had me read the book in a few hours. Did I enjoy the physical aspect of it? A little bit less would have been appreciated, but I get that it fits the overall story and how it fits in with everything else.

I really enjoyed the different men kind of acting as big brothers to our FMC and each having unique talents, that helped the story along very well. I’m glad I stumbled upon this lovely book. It wasn’t perfect but a worthwhile read.
