"The Sound of Silver" by Rachelle Rea

About this book:

  “The stalwart saint and the redeemed rebel. One is fighting for faith, the other for honor…
  After Dirk rescues Gwyneth from the Iconoclastic Fury, she discovers that faith is sometimes fragile—and hope is not as easy as it may seem. Gwyneth continues her quest to learn more about the love of God preached by Protestants she once distrusted.
  Meanwhile, Dirk’s quest is to prevent his sullied name from staining hers. Will his choice to protect her prove the undoing of her first faltering steps toward a Father God? Once separated, will Dirk and Gwyneth’s searching hearts ever sing the same song?”

My personal Rating-

I love Gwyn. She can insult others in another language. That’s goals right there, y’all. (I’m kidding, I’m kidding. Mostly.)

Even though by reading about all the kisses in the Sexual Content, you’d think this was pretty kissy, but it truly didn’t feel that way. (Those semi-detailed kisses, are literally just barely over a b/a/n/d kiss.) Just like “The Sound of Diamonds”, I was blown away by all the Spiritual Content in this sequel. It’s so refreshing to see so many prayers & talks about God. The romance was very sweet and well done, but that cliffhanger has me eager to read the finale novel in this trilogy. ;)

See y’all on Monday with a new review!
