Synopsis
One night—a single bullet—cost me everything.
My body, broken beyond repair. The boy I’d thought was my forever. The life I’d always dreamt of.
Now, Holt’s back. And he’s no longer a boy, but a man with shadows in his eyes and demons haunting him.
He says he’s here to make things right. To get back a little bit of all we’ve lost. And he doesn’t show any signs of leaving the small town that has been my refuge.
As stolen moments turn to days, Holt’s around every corner. With his burning stare and lingering touches. Before long, my walls come crashing down and I’m just hoping that taking this second chance isn’t as reckless as it feels.
But not everyone is happy that Holt has returned. As tragedy strikes again, I’m the one left in the crosshairs. And Holt might not be able to save me this time…

Review
Whispers of You is a small-town second-chance romance with a suspense story that reminds me of Scream.
I am loving romantic suspense lately, and Whispers of You is a great one. I loved how the mystery was tied to something in the past. As I mentioned, it reminded me of Scream, and while I figured out some of the mystery, there was still a lot that surprised me, and it certainly kept me on the edge of my seat!
The second chance romance was great, and it was easy to see how they would fall back into things quickly. They never got over each other! Holt had a lot to prove, not just to Wren but to everyone, and I certainly enjoyed watching him prove it. I loved how strong Wren was, almost to a fault. Both she and Holt were terrific characters.
Do I need to say more than Zachary Webber and Arnie Arndt? I probably don’t, but I will anyway. They were fantastic. Zachary Webber is one of my all-time favorite narrators, and I will listen to just about anything he reads, so the fact that Whispers of You had a great story was even better.
