About the Book

Beneath the polished exterior I present to the world, I wear a mask, a facade that shields my vulnerabilities and silent struggles. As a lawyer, I project confidence and authority, but behind that mask lies a story filled with insecurities and fear. Then a monster enters my life, this wild, dark and unpredictable force. He marks me as his prey the second we meet.

His name is Saint but he’s buried in sin. He’s everything I’ve been taught to be against. The opposition of the rightful side of the law.

He’s like a storm that disrupts my orderly world. It’s both exhilarating and terrifying, like standing at the edge of a cliff, ready to leap into the unknown. He wants to own me and peel off my mask. He’s not afraid of silence. I’m scared that I’ll like his darkness and fall for him. The only thing is my wings are broken now, so if I fall for him I might not recover.

Review

I struggled with The Sweetest Silence for a multitude of reasons. The pacing was extremely, unnecessarily fast. There were several time jumps, and the story felt like it was missing details. The story felt confusing and incomplete.

As for the romance, I never felt the chemistry between the characters. At times, it felt as if Amora was being pushed into a relationship with Saint because of how hard he pressed her. Also, I struggled to connect with the characters. All of them were deeply unlikeable, and some of the things they said felt offensive. For example, a few things that Saint said were degrading to women, and it was uncomfortable and upsetting to read. The author clearly tried to give the characters emotional depth and weight, but for me, those moments did not land as intended.

Final Thoughts

The Sweetest Silence was not an enjoyable read for me. The pacing felt rushed, which made it confusing and never really came together. Additionally, the romance was forced rather than believable. Not even the characters could save it.
