Luke Boone doesn't know exactly what his uncle Rust is involved in but he wants in on it-the cars, the money, the women. And it looks like he's finally getting his wish. When Rust hands him the managerial keys to the garage, they come with a second set—one that opens up the door to tons of cash and opportunity. Though it's not exactly legal, Luke's never been one to worry about that sort of thing. Especially when it puts him behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 and onto the radar of gorgeous socialite named Rain.
Clara Bertelli is at the top of her game—at only twenty-six years old, she's one of the most successful undercover officers in the Washington D.C. major crime unit, and she's just been handed a case that could catapult her career and expose one of the west coast's most notorious car theft rings. But, in order to do it, she'll need to go deep undercover as Rain Martines. Her target? The twenty-four-year old nephew of a key player who appears ready to follow in his uncle's footsteps.
As Clara drifts deeper into the luxurious lifestyle of Rain, and further into the arms of her very attractive and charming target, the lines between right and wrong start to blur, making her wonder if she'll be able to leave it all behind. Or if she'll even want to.

Review
“I don’t care about any of it. All I want to do is lean forward and kiss him. Steal him away from the bad stuff, convince him to start over because I believe he isn’t beyond saving yet.”
Becoming Rain. OMG. Quite Literally… (this will make much more sense after you read the book 
I have to say this book was pleasantly surprising. After reading Tucker’s Ten Tiny Breaths series, I didn’t think that this new series could exactly measure up. So come to find out I was completely wrong because Becoming Rain is amazing in a totally separate but equal way from the other series.
This book is so crazy good! Like, in a, I never want to stop reading this book kind of way + after I read this book I just sat and stared at the wall for twenty minutes. Becoming Rain is this kind of thrill read that took me in and changed everything I thought I knew about K.A. Tucker and her writing style. This book is intense, yet a different kind of intense that I have come to expect. I loved the switching views that bounced from Luke to Clara “aka Rain”. It built up the tension for me as I slowly pieced together what was happening as the characters themselves were experiencing it.
Clara is one of those cops that is slowly becoming jaded… at least until she meets Luke. Luke is this interesting mix of spoiled yet kind. Sometimes I just wanted to punch him in the face as he seemed to make all the wrong mistakes. Then he would do something un-expectantly sweet, throwing not only me but also Clara off guard. I think what made this book so great was how real the author was able to make the emotions and characters authentic.
Luke was a hard character to understand. At some moments he seemed like a spoiled brat using his relationship with his uncle to move through the ranks faster and get more money. Yet at other times he would do these amazing acts of kindness that really showed another side. Throughout the book he kind of progressed and matured, aided by Clara. It was a great transition and without it, I would definitely not have fallen in love with this book.
“You’re perfect. Almost too perfect … Sometimes I wonder if you’re even real.”
I close my eyes with his words, as his mouth finds my collarbone. I am real. At least, parts of who he’s seen are. And this is real, what’s happening between us right now.”
