I love new beginning stories!
This story starts with Erin needed a change, a new life from the one she never fit in. Who knew the small mining town of Argent Springs, complete with a match-making ghost and eccentric aunt is just what she's always needed. Add in a hunky handyman who is well, good with this hands, and Cindy Stark has another winner on her hands. Great history about the very quirky town, which I really enjoyed. And I love a tortured man who is torn between the woman who is right for him and the woman he thought he should be with. Really looking forward to more stories set in Argent Springs.

Argent Springs, I want to move there
How much do I love Rick Hartigan? Let me count the ways! What's sexier than a wounded soul who works with his hands?... I can't think of anything. If you like small-town romance complete with a sassy heroine, a sexy hero, and a mischievous ghost, you can't do better than Cindy Stark.

Please tell me there is another one!
This book was lusty, romantic, suspenseful and just an excellent, fun book to read. All of the stories and people are completely entwined with each other in a believable storyline. Just like the commercial "I want more".

Great Story
Exciting, well written story. A must read for both girls and boys, but not just for teens. As an adult, I found WHISPER to be very imaginative and thought provoking. Makes you wonder about that inner voice we all hear and too often believe. I'm looking forward to the second book of the trilogy.
