4.5 stars!
I was a little hesitant to jump into Silent Whisper. Paranormal is something I like to read every now and then, but I don’t like scary books. At all. But after I read it, I was glad I did. To be honest, I forgot Silent Whisper was a paranormal book from the first 10%- to about 71%. I was so caught up in the story of the past, the other elements just left my mind. Andrea is that type of story teller. Her writing is always consistently good and engaging.
This is another one of those stories where you want to stay away from spoilers. You just want to be surprised by the twists.
It was about a 27 year old girl named Parrish Locke who goes through a life changing experience. But more than that, it is a timeless love story between Dominic and Karlie.
I actually loved 10-70% best. The beginning and end were good too, but there were a few elements that threw me off a bit. Don’t get me wrong, I really loved the story and the characters. In fact, I stayed up way too late finishing this one because once I hit about 40% I could not put it down until I was finished.
I loved Karlie and Dominic’s love story. It wasn’t conventional. But it was still a beautiful and forbidden romance.
Silent Whisper was a very original concept and I loved that there was always an element of mystery, some twists and turns. The paranormal aspect is not the largest part of this story. I really hope people realize that. It has a part here or there that might seem a little on the creepy side, but it’s not scary at all. I think thats important to point out because I don’t do scary AT ALL. As I said before, I was nervous to add this to my TBR in fear that it would be scary, but it’s not. So don’t let that deter you from reading.
Out of all the elements of this story, the main thing it centered around was an eternal love. A forever, once in a life time kind of love. If you’re looking for a unique love story with lots of mystery, suspense, heat and a little paranormal flare thrown in, you’ve found your next read!

3.5 DOMINIC STARS
My last name is Castellano. I'm Dominic Castellano"
I adore Andrea Smith's writing.... Her writing is simply addictive. Without any questions asked, I will pick up her book.
Silent Whisper was definitely a refreshing story.
What is this about? Well, I can't say much without giving away the plot, hence briefly it is about girl who had an awakening experience.
Hero Dominic def has my heart!!!! And I loved Ryan too, though I was wishing more of Ryan.
Heroine Ooo boy tough one. I did like her eventually but I hate her most of the time as there were few of her actions that I couldn't forgive her.
Steam Ooooo yeah bet!!!!! Andrea spices everything up! Trust me!
Connection I had a little problem with the present characters connection but I am really looking forward for more of them.
Hope you have a wonderful read, it is quite a nice journey!
Happy reading,
D xo

3.75 to 4 Stars Great Start to the Limbo series with high hopes of what is to come!
This is one of those books that is a bit hard to review because it is impossible to say much without giving away the plot or dropping major spoilers!
What I will say is that Andrea Smith delivered a pretty unique, out of the box romance tale that had an air of suspense and quite a few OMG moments!
Silent Whisper introduces Parrish Locke...a young beauty whose time has been spent in front of a camera. She has a decent life, a good boyfriend, and a seemingly good plan for the future. But what happens when one event changes your whole life in just an instant?
Parrish has front row viewing of a tumultuous romance between a rich, sexy Mob capo Dominick and a young beauty whose services are paid for in a small town nestled in the hills of West Virginia. Hot and passionate is what Andrea Smith gives with "Nick" and Karlie...
It is through Parrish that you get the full experience into a seemingly "pretty woman" scenario of rich man takes poor girl into a life of luxury. He gives everything to her...her happiness is the driving force behind his being, even though his "family" will never accept his MISTRESS!
A story filled with a passionate love, a domineering man, and a woman whose life is always on the edge emerges. Dominick and Karlie are two characters creating the story but it is Parrish Locke who is pivotal in the end.
Through her, the reader is able to feel an undying love between two people, a loss of what could have been, the shock of betrayal, and the hope of a future to reconnect the bonds that were never to be broken.

Righting the Past
Parrish finds herself in the past learning the story of Karlie and Dominic and her place in all of it. It's a bit paranormal with Parrish realizing that she's a ghost whisperer but the bulk of the book is really the retelling of what happened to Karlie and then righting some things from the past.
There are some interesting twists and turns. The waterworks made an appearance toward the end in that bittersweet conclusion. I really enjoyed it including where Nick and Karlie "met". The mob stuff was there but that was more of a side note, annoyance from her POV.
I switched between audio and visual. I liked the narrators, Amanda Stribling and David Black. I really like when the character voices remain constant regardless of POV and that happens here.

Went into this audiobook expecting yet another paranormal romances but with a hint of ghost. But ended with listening to the sweetest family drama I've read in a long time. My heart feel so warm and fuzzy and almost a little teary as the beautifulness of it all. Very much a twist that suited me in every way

Simply unique. Brilliant story.
So I'm not sure I can do this book justice. This is a well thought out story of star crossed lovers. I read it experiencing several emotions and falling in love with the characters. It has been a while since I've read it but I'm still swooning over Dominic.
This is a story you don't want to miss. Andrea has a way of sucking I the reader and not letting go until the last word is read. She accomplished this with Silent Whisper. I found the story to be so unique that I was sucked into each and every page because I had no clue what to expect. It simply a fresh twist on fresh twist on a paranormal story. I have not read anything like this. You can tell that Andrea put a lot of hard work and thought into developing her story and then telling it.
Check out this book. You don't want to miss the journey Andrea takes you on. This is one book I won't forget. A must read.

wow!!! Paranormal or not.
Okay, I never expected this story to be what it is. You might be confused at first like me but as you read on everything that happened in the Prologue unravels and I didn't want to miss any part of it, which I won't be giving anything away but the storyline is interesting.
Plus, I'd ike to know more of Parrish......continue into book 2.

I feel like I need to start this off by saying that it wasn't really a paranormal romance. Although there are elements of PR, it really wasn't what I focused on as the reader. I don't do paranormal. I can't get into the whole genre, but this was something that had my attention and held it. It was tragic, beautiful and a little haunting (pun intended).
The story begins with Parrish Locke who encounters a particular gift while in an accident. That gift brings us to the past where a love story is told surrounding Karlie and Dominic. Now, Karlie and Dominic's love wasn't traditional in any sense of the word, but it was ageless... it was eternal. This is a story that is hard to explain without accidentally giving something away, the twists of this story creates so many angles that it is best to go in blind and just trust that Ms. Smith won't disappoint.
I found myself not able to fully connect to Karlie or Parrish but it had no impact on the pull this story had. For me, Dominic was the star. He shined. There was something about him that had me hooked. It wasn't just the typical book-boyfriend set up.... it was something about him as a character that just grabbed me and didn't let me go. My heart broke for him when he was at his most vulnerable.
This was such an original story. I was reluctant to start this one, but once I did, I could not put it down. I had to know how it had all ended, I needed the mystery to be be unfolded and I needed to be set free. For most of the story I had forgotten that this had any element of PR infused with it, I just wanted their love story.
I have no doubt that I will continue on with this series to see what becomes of Parrish and the journey that she will be taken on. I hope that as the series continues we get to see a little bit of her own love story as well.

3.5 Star Read for Me
I knew going into Silent Whisper that it was a paranormal read. I've read other books by Andrea Smith and have enjoyed them and the smoking hotness of them as well. I did not know what to expect from her in a paranormal setting. Though I felt in some parts of one of her previous series we got a good look at how she may go about it. While it did not work so well for me in that book it was completely believable in this one. Once you start reading the book, you quickly come to understand that while it is in fact a paranormal read the main focus is the love story something that Smith does well.
Karlie and Dominic were swoon worthy and because they did own so much of the story made up for what I found lacking in Parrish at times. There is a great deal of mystery and plot twists that are unexpected. I cannot really say much more as I will never intentionally spoil a read for someone else.
I recommend this book if you enjoy some paranormal, mystery, badass guys, and smoking hot romance.

3.5 -4 PAST/PRESENT STARS
Parrish Locke is a young model thinking about what to do as she feels that the end of her career is coming, when she has a small traffic accident that changes her life.
Karlie Masterson was a young woman who through tragic events becomes an orphan then a prostitute, only to be taken from that life by Dominic Castellano, who's family caused the event.
Through Karlie and Dominic's story, there will be revenge and love. We will also discover Parrish's connection to them and how the past converges with the present in order to bring everyone closure and peace.
I have to admit that even tough most of this story took place in the late 80's, I'm not a fan of reading about the past in any way. It was really hard for me to get into it. I also felt like every step of Karlie and Dominic's early relationship took forever to get going. But once things took out, it took off with a shot.
When the resolution happened, I cried like crazy. It was so sweet, yet sad.
I love Andrea Smith's work and am so appreciative that she asked me if I would like the opportunity to read and review this book.

Not a book for me, at all.

I honestly don’t know what to say right now. This book made me feel so many things that I actually do not know what is currently floating around in my mind if that makes any sense! From the very beginning, I was intrigued – a total page turner! Now, I have to say that I love Andrea Smith’s writing, but this one….wow, this one…this was something else! In the erotica genre, this is most definitely a VERY unique story. There was lust, love, mystery, suspicion, angst, more love, craziness and then I don’t even know what! Seriously, if you do not one click this one, you are missing out! I am almost speechless with how I feel about this book and what happens all throughout.
Let’s start with the plotline – first, we begin with one story and then morph into another one almost immediately. What?!? This is exactly what I was thinking when it was happening, but it undeniably works in this book. I will absolutely NOT give anything more away as spoilers are virtually impossible to avoid when talking about this book, but I do have to adamantly say that if you love major twists and turns, lust and love, you have to read this book. It will not disappoint at all! For all of our romantics out there, this is a true love story. Not necessarily the HEA that you are looking for, but you will swoon and cry the entire time and feel quite fulfilled at the end.
After reading Silent Whisper, I am truly in awe of Andrea Smith’s creative mind and what it can produce. This book (and series I am sure) will go down as one of my all time favorites. From a girl who loves her erotica and thrillers, this book truly blew my mind!

This was a little different to what I usually read. More paranormal, which I didn't realise looking at the cover.
They say a ghost can't pass over until they settle their unfinished business, Parrish Locke is about to find out that she has a skill set uniquely designed to help. She just needs to embrace it.
It’s difficult to talk about this book without giving anything away. It feels like two separate stories that are told in a way to make them interconnect so well. They are interwoven wonderfully and leave you wanting more. If you like mafia stories, books with a bit of suspense and a romantic thread, with a little ghostly effect thrown in, this is the book for you.
The audiobook is performed in duet by David Black and Amanda Stribling. The majority of the story is told from the female POV with only a handful of male POV chapters, but fear not, because this is duet, you hear plenty from David Black and thank goodness as it would have been a mighty shame not to have heard his deep, growly voice throughout the story. He was perfect as Dominick. The Italian was done to a wonderful, convincing standard. I think we’re going to be seeing his name a lot in the future. Amanda Stribling did a great job of switch between Parrish and Karlee. It took me a little while to get used to her performance but once I did, it was enjoyable. The production was done well, chapter 13 did cut off early.
They say a ghost can't pass over until they settle their unfinished business, Parrish Locke is about to find out that she has a skill set uniquely designed to help. She just needs to embrace it.
It’s difficult to talk about this book without giving anything away. It feels like two separate stories that are told in a way to make them interconnect so well. They are interwoven wonderfully and leave you wanting more. If you like mafia stories, books with a bit of suspense and a romantic thread, with a little ghostly effect thrown in, this is the book for you.

If I could five this book more than five stars I would. I've read all of Andrea's books and I loved them all. But this is her best work yet. It's a mix of paranormal, romance and mystery all tied together. It's full of surprises and things you won't see coming. The deep connection of true love will leave you breathless. You will feel every emotion, whether it be love, heartache, happiness, or the deep connection of schoolmates, you'll definitely experience them all. This is by far the best book I've all year. It's a must read for anyone that believes true love last forever and never dies.
The book revolves around the lives of Karlie, Dominic, and Parrish. There is a little time travel involved, as we go back in time to see the beginning of Karlie and Dominic's love story. We see how they fall in love and the progression of their lives together. Parrish is involved and you'll be shocked to see how. There is a mob spin in the story too, it's so good. Their love story is so amazing and breathtaking.
I just can't praise this book enough. True love will span time and space and will never die. Everyone should definitely read this book.

If I could give this book 10 stars I would. Paranormal romance is not what I usually read, and when I first heard this was a PNR I had my doubts. But, Andrea Smith erased all doubt and wrote a bittersweet, heart achingly beautiful PNR that will stay in my heart forever. This was not a far fetched story for me, I believe there is more to life after death, and Andrea Smith captured that to perfection. I don't do spoilers, all I can say is this is a must read. It's not only a beautiful romance, there is also a dose of humor, plenty of angst and wonderful characters you will fall in love with. I cannot wait to read more about Parrish!

Silent Whisper is the first book in the Limbo Series. Although I am not a huge fan of paranormal, I am a huge fan of Andrea Smith so I took a chance with this book and I was pleasantly surprised and would give this book a 4 stars. This was a romance but not like any other romance I have ever read. Andrea has always been known to me as writing some pretty hot and steamy reads and this one didn't disappointment in that department. It is not a vampire, werewolf paranormal, it is basically about a girl who is touched per say and can help people in the after life that are stuck in between, who have unfinished business.
Parrish is a model and leads a pretty normal life. While on the way out of town Parrish is in an accident... and it will change her life forever. She finds herself face to face with a stranger Karlie.. not just a stranger but a ghost. She finds herself being transformed into this stranger and living her life from the past till the time she dies. This is the first time it happens to her and she doesn't know what to think but what she finds will ultimately change her views on her normal life and she will find secrets that she never knew existed.
Karlie was a mistress to a man name Nick. Nick's family is a big mob family and they have shady secrets. Karlie is determined to just stay the mistress but Nick is so hard to resist and finds herself falling in love with him. When Nick returns the love she thinks her world is finally perfect. She knows she will always be the mistress and she is ok with that for now.
The butterflies in my tummy, that had always been there, now seemed to be in a constant swarm whenever he looked at me, touched me, or God forbid--kissed me. And God, when he fucked me it was as if I simply melted into him and we became one. In fact, I would've been quite content if his dick never left my insides, I'd decided. We fit each other perfectly.-- KARLIE
Nick has fallen for his mistress, he never meant for that to happen but she could give him the life he has always wanted but in secret. His marriage is a farce and everyone knows it, but to save face and go along with his religious ways he can never get divorced. He can still see a future with Karlie and he wants a family with her too, but will she be willing to have that with him without the commitment. But when secrets come out and Karlie goes into hiding the only thing he can hope is that she is safe.... But will he ever see her again.. and will he ever find out Karlie has a secret as well?
And as long as she stayed wherever she was, she would have a future, even if it wasn't going to be with me. I would never have wanted to deny her that. She was the love of my life. No one would or could ever replace her in my heart. I knew this to be the truth. For now, I continued to hope and pray that time was on her side and on mine.-- NICK
When tragedy strikes and secrets are revealed, of course there is death.. but in the end can the Silent Whisper of a woman scorned and lost in the inbetween finally get her goodbye? And can the man that lost everything he has ever wanted truly find happiness?
Pick up this book and yes there are more to this series... even though I don't normally read paranormal I will be reading all the books that Andrea brings out in this series. Thanks again for a wonderful story... and don't worry everyone my review is vague but you will understand why I can't reveal to much because it would ruin the story.

Silent Whisper (Limbo #1) by Andrea Smith
3.5 stars!!
This is going to be a hard book to review without giving too much away, but I will try. This book reminds me of a TV programme from the 80’s and 90’s “oh boy!” (I am showing my age here). I also have to say that this is not your typical paranormal read either; there are no vampires, werewolves, shifters or anything else on that kind of scale. This is more like a contemporary/romance novel with a little paranormal twist; however I can see the paranormal side developing as the series goes along.
Parrish is a woman that is living her life to the full; she has a fantastic boyfriend called Ryan and is a model. She is however getting to that age where she wants to do something different so has plans to assist Ryan with his photography career. One night though her life is altered and Parrish is given a front row seat to the romance of Dominic and Karlie.
Dominic/Nick is the son of a mob boss and Karlie is a prostitute in a brothel. Dominic is a regular of hers but she has always felt a deeper connection with him. He is not like the others, he makes love to her, he cherishes her, he appreciates her and he satisfies her. Nick offers her an out, he wants her for himself and in true Pretty Woman style he whisks her away to a life of luxury and looks after her well, as his mistress. Nick’s marriage is not what it seems either but being catholic divorce is a no no so do not drop this read because of cheating, it is not like that at all.
Dominic and Karlie have an intense relationship, their love is genuine, the chemistry is sizzling and their connection is off the charts. Both of these realise that what they have is special and is a once in a lifetime. However, the mob has a tendency to interfere in relationships especially if you are not one of “the family” and their relationship has a lot of uphill battles to contend with.
Parrish has been given a job and now it is up to her to rise to the challenge, her mum has trusted her with this task and she cannot fail. Parrish’s eyes have been opened, everything she thought she knew was wrong, now it was up to her to make amends.
I have not read anything like this before and it is a refreshing read. In true Andrea Smith style she delivers the heat in this book and the romantic connection between Dominic and Karlie was palpable. I loved the characters and I loved the premise. I cannot wait to see where this series goes going forward.

3.5 stars!!
“I fell in love with you then, and the magnetic force of that love became even stronger, Karlie. I loved you like I’ve loved no one else… ever. You are my heart - and my soul, but most importantly -you are my eternal love.”

However, the mob has a tendency to interfere in relationships especially if you are not one of “the family” and their relationship has a lot of uphill battles to contend with.
“It seems that people on both sides were hell-bent on keeping us apart, Karlie. All of the times that I reminded you to trust me, and I assured you that you’d always have my protection - you still didn’t trust it, did you?”
Parrish has been given a job and now it is up to her to rise to the challenge, her mum has trusted her with this task and she cannot fail. Parrish’s eyes have been opened, everything she thought she knew was wrong, now it was up to her to make amends.

*****5 SILENT SUSPENSEFUL STARS*****
I received this kick ass Mafia Capo meets Mystery book as an ARC for an Honest Review.
As I am gathering my thoughts a whole day later on Silent Whisper, I must say that I am mind blown at how much I love this book...
When I first read that it was a paranormal/mafia book I think you could see the questions marks that were hanging over my head.
I have never read a book like this.
And having a hard time figuring out where I want to start.
I am finding it hard myself to even call it paranormal.
This book literally falls into so many categories that if you love Mystery/Thriller/Mafia/Paranormal/Romance/Suspense..
ONE CLICK THIS BOOK NOW!
Parrish Locke is 27 years old. She's gorgeous, funny, a model, a smart ass and is starting to want something more in life.
Fate takes her down a winding road where her heart, her mind and her life will change forever.
This is where this story takes flight in a new dimension.
We meet the sassy, sexy, erotic, smart mouthed, caring, strong, yet lonely Karlie with a tragic past.
Karlie has been through many ups and downs and catches the eye of a sinfully gorgeous Italian man named Nick and falls in love.
"Whatever he wanted, whatever he needed, I wanted to be the one that provided it to him."
Nick by nature has the characteristics of a Dom.
He knows what he wants, says what he wants, how he wants it and nothing gets in his way.
He's a business man and family always comes first, but for Karlie he will do anything.
"Don't ever question my devotion to you."
Although I am typing my mind is still reeling and thinking about every little detail that happened throughout this story....
I think I am still in shock, still heartbroken, still on the edge of my seat screaming why!!!! While crying my eyes out......
There is sooo much... So much in this book that I simply can not give anything away.
I can say that I never got confused with what was happening to Parrish and the story that unfolds doesn't confuse me either.
Karlie and Nick are the prime example that a HEA can last a lifetime,
That soul mates do exist, and there is always someone waiting for you on the otherside.....
This book is seriously everything I love.
There is angst.
There is heartbreak.
There is trust.
There is sex.
There is brutality.
There is jealousy.
There is Fear.
There is Hate.
There is mystery.
There is hope.
There is love.
There is forgiveness.
Andrea Smith out did herself with Silent Whisper. Her writing was phenomenal.
The flow of everything that panned out was incredible.. Bravo Andrea!
I will definitely be reading the other books that come out with this series and can't wait to see where life takes the awakened Parrish Locke.

***This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.***
4 FOREVER IN LOVE STARS!!!
Silent Whisper is a story that completely took me by surprise! The book sucked me in from the moment I started reading it. And I was turning the pages clear to the very end… all in just one sitting, because the characters constantly kept me wondering what would happen next. I just couldn’t focus on anything else going on in my own life because my mind was always thinking about this book!
It’s extremely hard to go into too much detail with Silent Whisper, simply because I could easily spoil all the little surprises you’ll learn (as the reader) along the way. I will say, Silent Whisper revolves around several characters finding out who they really are, where they originally came from, who is the most important to them in their lives and where they should go next. I know this doesn’t share too much about the story, but it’s all I can really say without giving away anything vital.
This story definitely has some “paranormal elements” wrapped within it, but the story line is definitely realistic in nature. I am personally not a huge paranormal fan, because I like to read stories that could possibly happen in a “real life” scenario, not a fantasy. The paranormal theme with Silent Whisper is very light, easy to follow and worked out just fine for me.
I must say, Silent Whisper has some HOT and STEAMY scenes throughout, so if you like this included in your stories, you won’t be disappointed. Dominic is a very SEXY GUY!
“I loved you like I’ve loved no one else…ever. You are my heart - and my soul, but most importantly - you are my eternal love.”
As the ending approached, I became so emotionally involved with the characters that I became a teary eyed, blubbering mess! This author has 100% exceeded my expectations! Bravo, Ms. Smith for creating a BRILLIANT STORY! What a great start to a refreshing new romance series! I give Silent Whisper, 4 FOREVER IN LOVE STARS!
XOXO

5 Amazing Wonderful Stars
I was given this book for my honest review.
I would like to put in a note here. This book started off for me at a 4 star book but the popping in all the right places gave it the push that it so well deserved. Awesome
Parrish-brave, cute, ordinary relentless
Ryan-Parrish’s boyfriend
Dominic-hot hotter, sexy, interesting the total package
Karlie-an angel, sexy, cute, funny awesome designer
This journey takes us between two amazing times we start off in 2014 and then flash back thanks to Karlie to 1986.
Dominic and Karlie’s journey is a definite for the history books. When Parrish gets into an accident she sees someone or something and is drawn to it immediately in which takes her back to another time and place. She is living in that moment and time when Dominic and Karlie are together but can this phenomenon be true in itself?
The relationship of Dominic and Karlie is on a spiral of time. The love that they have for one another is so richly deserved. Dominic is the protector of Karlie since like forever and Karlie never knowing that she herself was being protected all these years by the one man’s family that destroyed her own.
This journey is the first of many in the foreseeable future for Parish but what connection does she have to Karlie? Why is Karlie taking Parrish on this journey through time? Is Karlie a ghost or is she a spiritual connection that can’t be denied? Do Karlie and Dominic get there forever? Hmmm
What about Ryan? Where does Ryan fit into all of this? These are question that you will find the answers for I promise you that when you pick up this book and take a journey throughout time with me as I did these amazing characters.
To the author you did one amazing job in bringing this couple together. In showing that no matter how much time or lack of time progresses that some things will never die no matter what the circumstances arise.
So if you’re looking for hot sex. Hot orgasms, Hot anything be sure and look no further in time and just let go and read. Be sure and have the tissues on hand because just like me you will be in one heck of a tear heaven.
Happy Reading

The wonderful thing about a good book, is not only that it gives the reader an escape from his/her reality, but that it stays with them for days to come. For me this was one of those books.
After a car accident Parrish Locke's life takes an unexpected turn. She discovers that she has a special gift, a gift which could help others communicate and I love you, and apology or simply find the closure they needed. I can't really say much about the story without giving away the plot, what I can say for sure is that this was a unique, brilliantly told story.
From the very beginning this is a story that will catch your attention and will have you glued to it page after page. I always admired Andrea's ability to research her facts, and this book is not the exception, in my opinion it enhances credibility to the story. The characters are very believable and well developed, they will give the reader a array of emotions, going from incredible sadness to pity to anger to indescribable love. I was so touched and sad at a certain point during the story that I had tears running down my cheeks.
While I understand that for some people this is an unbelievable story, it's something that I believe wholeheartedly, and it gives me hope, making wish it was me experiencing something like this.
If you're afraid about the paranormal aspects of the book, don't be, those aspects are the ones that enhance an all ready beautiful tale.
Good news is that this is only the first book in this series, I can't wait to see what else Andrea has in storage for us.
Highly recommended!!!!

The characters are very believable and well developed, they will give the reader a array of emotions, going from incredible sadness to pity to anger to indescribable love. I was so touched and sad at a certain point during the story that I had tears running down my cheeks.
While I understand that for some people this is an unbelievable story, it's something that I believe wholeheartedly, and it gives me hope, making wish it was me experiencing something like this.
If you're afraid about the paranormal aspects of the book, don't be, those aspects are the ones that enhance an all ready beautiful tale.
Good news is that this is only the first book in this series, I can't wait to see what else Andrea has in storage for us.
Highly recommended!!!!

A Sexy Read that Touched my Heart
This book made me FEEL. It's difficult to review a book, where you cannot provide the details of the plot without giving away spoilers. But I will do my best.
While this novel had a paranormal aspect, it is only the backdrop for the story and allows closure. Not quite HEA, but as close as you get in real life. Life can be messy and never ends like a fairy tale. The main characters, Karlie and Dominic, have a sizzling, sexy relationship that does not start out like a conventional romance. Over time, they do learn to love each other, but trust had to come first.
The genius of Andrea's writing is two-fold. First, I did not allow myself to feel the love, heartache, joy, and angst of the characters too deeply. (I'm a tough girl!) Somehow she forced me to. At the end of the book, all of those feelings came crashing down on me. She caused me to physically FEEL bittersweet pain, hope, feelings of love, and closure. The other ingenious concept is that Andrea left the book open to allow others in the series that will have a few of the characters in it, but allows for each to be a stand-alone novel without having read another. It's the paranormal backdrop that allows this, but I can't say much more without revealing spoilers.
As always, I cannot wait to read more by this author, whether it's this series or another. Andrea has a rare gift of being able to write very different styles and slightly different genres without losing her unique voice.
