Truth is a Whisper by Mandi Blake Review

 Happy Monday Friends :)

I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.

2022 has already been off to a hard start for me personally, and I'm more thankful than ever for my faith and the fact that I always have Him to lean on no matter what.

Our world seems to get scarier every single day, and I think it's more important than ever to filter what kind of content we're allowing into our minds on a daily basis.

That's why I'm so thankful for authors like Mandi Blake who continue to give Christian readers amazing books that they can devour without having to compromise on their beliefs to do so.

I hope you guys have been enjoying my last couple of posts that have been my 2021 reading wrap ups. I do still have one more to share with you all of the best books I read in 2021, but for today's post I'm actually going to be sharing a review from one of the titles from my Most Anticipated 2022 Releases post.

Keep reading to hear all about this amazing story that I know you're all going to love just as much as I did!

Synopsis:

They both want the truth, but are they willing to pay the price?

Ava Summers is more than ready to say goodbye to the breakneck pace of the city, and an invitation to her grandfather’s ranch is exactly what she needs. Finding out her former flame is running the ranch, on the other hand, was entirely unexpected. How can she put aside her memories of that whirlwind summer when she has to work beside the handsome cowboy every day?

Jameson Ford was grateful to be offered the new foreman job at Wolf Creek Ranch. He's eager to prove himself, but quickly distracted by the reappearance of his first love, who also happens to be his boss's granddaughter. It’s been over ten years since they promised each other forever, and neither of them know how to pick up where they left off or if they should forget it ever happened.

Allied by their love of the ranch, Jameson and Ava have to work together, despite the lingering feelings between them. When Ava unburies secrets about her family, she doesn’t know if she can trust anyone. Most of all, can she learn to trust her heart on her way to discovering the truth?

Truth is a Whisper is the first book in the Christian romance Wolf Creek Ranch series.

My Review:

Mandi's Blackwater Ranch series is one of my favorites of all time, and when I found out she writing a sort of "spin off" series from it, I couldn't wait! Jameson was a character that intrigued me right from his first introduction at the start of the Blackwater Ranch books, so this book was extra anticipated for me, as I couldn't wait to see him get his own story.

I've developed pretty high expectations over the years when it comes to Mandi Blake's book releases, and I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm never disappointed. I honestly wish more and more authors would write straight from the heart the way she does, and I love how every single one of her books has felt like I could personally connect with it.

Truth is a Whisper is the first title in her brand new Wolfcreek Ranch series, and while it's definitely different than anything she's done before, it's already a new favorite for me. Jameson and Ava's relationship has started off with nothing but obstacles as the two of them meet when Ava meets her grandfather for the first time at her grandmother's funeral, having never known the two of them before due to her mother's estrangement. Jameson works for her grandfather, and the two fall quickly for each other, but of her course her mother forbids it and they're not sure if they'll ever find their way back to each other.

When Ava returns to the ranch a few years later, she's surprised that Jameson is still working for her grandfather, and even more surprised that he seems to still want a relationship with her. As Ava tries to navigate the big changes in her life, she must come to terms with what caused the separation between her grandfather and mother in the first place, and must deal with the shocking events that come as a result.

From start to finish, this beautifully written Christian romance was one I could barely bring myself to put down, and wow I never wanted it to end. It made me both ugly cry, and laugh out loud, and I loved how realistic Ava's journey to find Jesus was. This book was pretty much everything I was hoping for and more, and I'm so excited to read more books in the series in the future as I literally loved the large cast of secondary characters, and I can't wait to see each of them play a bigger part in future stories.

If you haven't yet read one of Mandi's many amazing books, Truth is a Whisper is a great one to start with, and definitely reads both authentically and realistically, and is a heartwarming romance that I can't possibly recommend enough.

Final Rating: 5/5.

Definitely go ahead and check this one out!
