A Whisper of Solace is a beautifully written story. I mean with an abundance of sensual spicy scenes that will have you blushing, heartbreaking angst, and an amazing character arc there isn’t much that you can do wrong. I was expecting things to take some time to pick up, but the story plops you right in the middle of the action. I don’t think anyone is a big fan of the “poor communication” trope, but I will say it didn’t bother me that much with this. I don’t know if it was because my brain was able to justify Neve’s reasoning thanks to the juxtaposition of the therapy scenes or if the story is just THAT good. I can’t think of anything that would justify me giving this any less than 5 stars. This was an amazing book to start 2024!
