My #bookreivew of WHEN THE WORDS ARE SPOKEN by Simone Beaudelaire

WHEN THE WORDS ARE SPOKEN

by Simone Beaudelaire

BLURB:

When the Words are Spoken is a stand-alone novel and can be enjoyed even if you haven’t read the first book in the series.

Sunshine woman, banishing night

From all around you,

Shine your glorious smile

On this one dark soul.

With those lines, Dr. Michael Burke attempts to express his years’ long adoration for his colleague and former student, Sheridan Murphy. Not content to be worshiped from afar, she urges her beloved to turn their unrequited passion into a blazing romance.

But will their love be able to survive the secrets each one is keeping from the other, or will their dream of a happily ever after eventually crumble under the weight of their tragic histories?

Because when the words are spoken, there’s no going back.

NOTE: this is a steamy romance featuring the love of a sexy hero and a big beautiful woman, and contains explicit sex scenes.

MY REVIEW:

This is another masterfully written story by Simone Beaudelaire.  Sheridan and Michael were introduced in the first of this series When the Music Ends, and it’s not necessary to read the first book as this story will stand on its own.  But to get the full impact of what happened to Sheridan and understand why she and Michael hasn’t hooked up yet, you need to read the first one.

This story is more than just two people getting over an abusive past and learning to trust and love again, it’s also about the fear of marriage and the uncertainty of being a parent.  Especially in Michael’s case as he grew up in several dysfunctional settings.  He lacked faith in himself.

I also enjoyed the way Sheridan was the only person who could see past the façade Michael erected to keep people away from him, though he never understood that’s what he was doing.

If you enjoy a strong romance plot and innocent sex, you’ll want to read this book.  This is a Make-you-feel-good-inside story.  I give it my 5 feathers.
