Book Description
Small towns aren’t meant for billionaire Movie Stars, but somehow, Sutton Silvers fits right in. I know I should ignore him, the diner regular with his easy charm and quiet intensity. He belongs to another world, one of flashing cameras, billion-dollar contracts, and fake Hollywood smiles.
But Sutton sees through the walls I’ve built, through the secret past I keep hidden. He should walk away, just like I should guard my heart. But there’s something about him, the way he looks at me like I’m worth the risk, that has me wanting more.
I know better than to dream of a future with a man like him. And yet, when danger starts creeping closer, he’s the one stepping in, refusing to let me face it alone. He has a choice to leave Hollywood behind or risk it all for the chance that I’m his forever.
And me? I have a choice too.
Run again. Or finally let someone catch me.
About Samantha Sky
Samantha Skye is an Amazon Top 50 and international bestselling author. A country kid turned city slicker, she writes spicy and suspenseful contemporary romance novels that leave you hot under the collar and on the edge of your seat.
Samantha lives in Melbourne, Australia and when she’s not plotting her next novel, she can be found travelling, drinking margaritas and enjoying a sunset or star gaze somewhere.
My Thoughts
I was already primed for Sutton’s story after his outrageous social media post for Gertie’s soap, but I wasn't prepared for the major book hangover this story left behind. It’s the kind of read that has you wandering through real life wishing you could slip straight into the town of Whispers and never come back.
Samantha Skye’s writing is exceptionally immersive, making the town feel less like a setting and more like a living, breathing community. Between the diner regulars, the flows of Whiteman’s Whiskey, and the bone-deep loyalty of the locals, you can't help but want to befriend everyone in this protective, tight-knit world.
Sutton Silvers is a fascinating contradiction—a billionaire Hollywood heartthrob hiding from the hollow flash of fame who somehow fits perfectly into a small town. When he falls for Nikki, he falls hard and fast, and his devotion is staggering.
Watching him win over "Tinkerbell" and her son, James, was incredibly heartwarming, especially given the heavy secrets Nikki is guarding. One of the most "puddle on the floor" moments has to be Sutton’s commitment to Nikki’s passion for bees; the fact that a man deathly allergic to them would undergo venom immunotherapy just to be near what she loves is the ultimate "planning our future" energy.
The chemistry between them is absolute fire, expertly balancing sweet quirkiness with high-octane spice. Nikki is such a resilient, guarded heroine, and seeing her finally let someone catch her after years of running was beautiful.
The plot hums with a perfect blend of romantic suspense and mystery that keeps you hooked without overshadowing the emotional growth of the characters. Samantha Skye truly has a magic touch for building tension, warmth, and humor all at once, creating a story that feels both gritty and safe.
The audiobook experience is a must, as Duncan Cole and June Deborahae bring a whole new level of life to these characters. Duncan Cole has officially become a favorite voice of mine, perfectly capturing Sutton's quiet intensity, while June Deborahae’s performance is a joy—especially her hilarious "fake southern belle" bit in chapter three.
By the time the story reached that Griffin teaser at the end, I was practically feral for the next installment. This is easily some of Skye's best work, and I am fully invested in every soul-stirring moment she crafts in this world.
