My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this short romance story. This is an author I never hesitate to pick up. I have enjoyed her books from the first one I picked up. This is a well written story about what happens when opposites attract. I was pulled into the story from the beginning by the characters. They made the story easy, fun and entertaining to read. They are connectable and truly made the story for me. This is a story about Brody who is a movie actor and Willabelle who has an ex that is determined to destroy things for her. What neither one of these two expected was to meet and fall for each other until her ex decides otherwise. What happens with these two I highly recommend reading this book to find out. Their growth and chemistry throughout the story is great. They made great characters that kept the story engaging. You won’t regret picking this one up today.

The Sound of Silence AUDIO BOOK by Dakota Willink – Review by Bobbi Wagner

This is not my first audio book by this author but it is one of my favorites yet.  This is an author I never hesitate to pick up one of her books or her audio books.  I was pulled in from the beginning with the voice of the narrator.  I loved how the change of their voice gave the characters not only a realistic feel but gave life to the character themselves.  This is a dark romance suspense story that  took me on an emotional roller coaster ride just waiting to see what would happen next. Gianna is a woman that has been broken in more than one way. With a determination to survive she runs from her abusive husband. Then she runs into Derek.  Will he show her another way of life? I loved their chemistry and their connection.   I highly recommend this audio book and this author.

This is the second book in this series which I enjoyed just as much as the first one. I can’t wait to see what the third book brings. This is a well written story about a young mother having to not only give up her love but also her child. Marlena was adopted and once she finds out she is on a quest to find the truth behind her adoption. Will she find her biological parents and what will happen if she does? This is a great story that I can relate to as I adopted my daughter and my brother is adopted as well and his search for his family. The characters were great and connectable. They were written with a lot of heart and soul. They took me on an emotional roller coaster ride in parts. I enjoyed watching the growth with all of the characters and what they brought to the story. This is most certainly worth the pick up and I highly recommend it.
