Whispers of Forgiveness TROPES Sue Mills

I read the prequel to this which was Whispers Of Goodbye and then I went to read this book . Sam and Quinn finally meet after being separated for 10 years ! The story goes on about how both their lives have changed and the difficulties they both faced throughout the 10 years they were apart . Whenever they first see eachother to say they were surprised and nervous was an understatement but then they decide that dinner will be the best place to talk either about their lives now or the past . Sam is keeping secrets and doesn’t know if he should tell Quinn . This story has truly kept me guessing . Especially about the characters because you can tell there’s still a spark between them they just aren’t sure if they are ready to explore it . (Which later on you will see in this book if they decide to explore that spark or keep it hidden to themselves) I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book to see if they can overcome obstacles they will face or will it be the end of Sam and Quinn .

This book is about Quinn and Sam for the most part. The question is will they or won’t they. There’s definitely some spice and a drop off that leaves you longing for the next book. Good thing I have it.

Whispers of Forgiveness is a great steamy romance. Quinn and Sam have a strong chemistry and compelling back stories. Ms. Mills does a fantastic job weaving their lives together while leaving a little mystique for future books.

This is the first book in the New England series that had me glued to every page! In this second chance Romance we get to see more into the lives of Quinn and Sam as they reunite 10 years later. Definitely felt like a cozy Fall Romance!
I really enjoyed this book! Sam and Quinn’s inner dialog was so relatable and their chemistry was certainly steamy! I love the writing style, and I loved seeing the ups and downs and the personal growth and Healing within Sam As well as Quinn.
I liked how the story progressed and the ending was perfect!

I am so excited to see what Author Sue mills has in store for us with the New England series! be sure to Read the prequel novella Whispers of Goodbye to get an insight into the early Years of Sam And Quinn’s relationship 10 years earlier.

Amazing book! This book focuses on Quinn and Sam reuniting after 10 years after a falling out they had when they were younger. They end up sitting beside each other at a conference in Boston where they immediately recognize each other and Sam invites Quinn to catch up at dinner. Quinn starts off very hesitant with Sam because of how the relationship ended as well as because of past relationships have treated her, she doesn’t quite trust Sam and thinks he is doing this to rehash the past. Little does Quinn know that Sam has been pining after her for 10 years even though he has moved on with someone else. The story unfolds from there with Quinn trusting Sam more and Sam opening up about his current relationship. They see that they both have missed each other and know this run in has been good for both of them. Their story continues from there and you’ll need to read it to find out what happens in the end! There is a potential new interest in Quinn from Caden a sexy doctor that she also meets at the conference. I am very excited to continue on this journey of a series and can’t wait to see what the next book holds. 5 star rating from me because once again Sue Mills writing is top tier and I couldn’t put this book down I was invested in it and again experienced all the emotions the characters were feeling. Great job!

Wow! Wow! I love SAM and Quinn!!!! This book had be so on edge! I love it!! Sam an Quinn were high school sweethearts! Well college drove them apart. Now 10 years later they meet at a work retreat. Can they rekindle? Sam’s girlfriend took his daughter and left. Read this book !! It’s amazing!! Can’t wait to read more!!!

This story pulled me in from the first page with its raw emotions and deeply relatable struggles. The characters felt real, and their journey through pain, forgiveness, and second chances kept me hooked. I appreciated how the book explored the complexities of relationships without feeling overly dramatic. It’s the kind of story that makes you reflect on your own life while rooting for the characters to find peace. A touching and uplifting read—I’m excited for the next book!

Sue Mills wrote a beautiful second chance romance. You should first read the short prequel, Whispers of Goodbye to obtain the background for Quinn and Sam.

Sue’s style of writing captures your full attention therefore you don’t want to put the book down.

Quinn met Sam when she was sixteen and they were together for two years before she left for college. While Quinn was away they both made mistakes which ultimately ended their relationship. Sam met someone two years later and now had a six year old daughter. Quinn focused on her career, advanced degrees, as well as her mental health.

Ten years later they surprisingly met at a conference and got together to talk about the past. They learned they had both matured over the past ten years. Do they take a leap to find their second chance at love?

Looking forward to hearing more about Quinn and Sam in the next installment.

I really enjoyed the story of Sam and Quinn! I love me a good second chance romance and this one definitely hit the spot. There was just enough spice to keep the story interesting! I would definitely advise to read the prequel first in order to get their back story. Thank goodness for NO CLIFFHANGERS, but I would definitely like to see where the story goes from here!

I finished this book in just one day ! That’s how good it is, in my opinion. It has spice.!! I couldn’t put this book down at all. But you will have to read the first book before this one so that you know the story.

LOVE THIS BOOK!!
