This is my first time reading something by Ms。 Blake， so I didn't have any specific expectations going into it。 It is the first installment of the Wolf Creek Ranch series， and what a wonderful start it is！ I found this to be a very sweet and clean Christian-based romance， and I have to say I really enjoyed it。 Ms。 Blake does a really nice job with her descriptions making you feel as if you are in Wolf Creek Ranch yourself。 She really brings the story and characters to life with her wonderful sto This is my first time reading something by Ms。 Blake， so I didn't have any specific expectations going into it。 It is the first installment of the Wolf Creek Ranch series， and what a wonderful start it is！ I found this to be a very sweet and clean Christian-based romance， and I have to say I really enjoyed it。 Ms。 Blake does a really nice job with her descriptions making you feel as if you are in Wolf Creek Ranch yourself。 She really brings the story and characters to life with her wonderful storytelling。 This is a beautifully written story of forgiveness and redemption。 Both Ava and Jamison had an instant attraction to each other when they first met six years ago。 Now that she is back， they both have some challenges to overcome before they can reach their path of happiness。 This was such an easy story to get engrossed in and I had a difficult time putting it down。 I am really glad to have had the opportunity to read it and I am anxiously awaiting the next book！I received a complimentary copy from the author and am voluntarily providing my review。 。。。more

real and clean writing。 Keep me captivated Mandi Blake did a fabulous job writing this book。 Jameson and Ava story。 Along with all the other characters at the ranch。 There was a twist or challenge around each corner。 The hard fought relationships of Ava and those she loves and how they change and grow; shows real character development。 A good clean read for teens and adults。 I’m looking forward to reading Blake and Everly story。

Ava had spent all her life trying to please her mother Linda – an impossible task no matter how much Ava did。 Jameson knew how toxic her relationship with her mother was， as his had been no better。 Jameson and Ava had had a short relationship many years earlier when she visited her mother’s parents ranch for the funeral of the grandmother she had never met。 Now Ava is trapped in a job she didn’t like， having never finished college and is now her mum’s assistant （read slave） at the TV station。 Wh Ava had spent all her life trying to please her mother Linda – an impossible task no matter how much Ava did。 Jameson knew how toxic her relationship with her mother was， as his had been no better。 Jameson and Ava had had a short relationship many years earlier when she visited her mother’s parents ranch for the funeral of the grandmother she had never met。 Now Ava is trapped in a job she didn’t like， having never finished college and is now her mum’s assistant （read slave） at the TV station。 When Ava gets a phone call from her grandfather telling her he was recovering from a stroke and asking her to visit， Ava takes a week’s leave and much to her mother’s fury， goes back to the ranch she had only visited once before， not knowing Jameson was now foreman。 What I liked about this book was the realness of the characters， Ava was torn between what she wanted and what her mother wanted – leaving an abusive and manipulative relationship is never easy， and trusting others can be hard。 Jameson too had his self doubts from his upbringing， but his Christian faith was strong as was his work ethic and desire to help others。 Being a longer book， this story had depth， it wasn’t a quick ‘fall in love and live happily ever after’， Ava had to work through her fears and learn to trust those around her – and their God。 I loved the storyline， the characters and the setting。 I received an ARC but this review is my own。 。。。more

This first book in the new Wolf Creek Ranch series was amazing！ The characters of Ava and Jameson pulled me right into the story， from the prologue to the very last page。 Add to that the conflict between Ava and her mom， Linda and I could not put the book down。 I liked that there were secrets， revelations， romance， and suspense that held me spellbound。 I also liked that Ava became a believer with everyone's help and she learned how to forgive。 I cannot wait to read the rest of the series！ I This first book in the new Wolf Creek Ranch series was amazing！ The characters of Ava and Jameson pulled me right into the story， from the prologue to the very last page。 Add to that the conflict between Ava and her mom， Linda and I could not put the book down。 I liked that there were secrets， revelations， romance， and suspense that held me spellbound。 I also liked that Ava became a believer with everyone's help and she learned how to forgive。 I cannot wait to read the rest of the series！ I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review。 。。。more

I was a volunteer ARC for this book。 I loved it。 Ava and Jameson story pulled me in right from the beginning。 The author is very descriptive that you feel like you are right there with the characters。 You can picture the ranch as you are reading。 There is enough suspense that you just don’t want to put the book down。 I love that Jameson brings Ava to know the Lord through his actions。 Their love story was so touching to me。 You will love this book and add it to your must read！

The first book in an all-new series， Truth is a Whisper is a clean， second-chance romance that deals with deep hurt， family secrets， true forgiveness， and ultimate healing in relationships。 It’s a rocky road for both Ava and Jameson， but they aren’t alone on the journey。 Surrounded by a cast of loving and truthful secondary characters， these two learn why it’s important to forgive， even when they don’t want to。

AdorableAva and Jameson are adorable。 Even though they spent years apart， Jameson becomes undone when she shows up again。 And Ava grew so much living with her grandpa。 She just blossomed。 At first， I thought this book would mostly be about a couple finding each other again。 And it did have that。 But it was so much about Ava's growth as a person。 And not just her。 It really took me by surprise the direction Ms Blake took the story。 But I loved it！！This is quite possibly my favorite book by Mandi AdorableAva and Jameson are adorable。 Even though they spent years apart， Jameson becomes undone when she shows up again。 And Ava grew so much living with her grandpa。 She just blossomed。 At first， I thought this book would mostly be about a couple finding each other again。 And it did have that。 But it was so much about Ava's growth as a person。 And not just her。 It really took me by surprise the direction Ms Blake took the story。 But I loved it！！This is quite possibly my favorite book by Mandi Blake。 。。。more

This was so good！ I love how Ava and Jameson's relationship started。 They are so cute！ Love how they came back together and how Jameson led her to God。 I love how Linda and Ava were able to work things out and the secrets and action in the story。 Great writing and great characters！ I received an advanced copy of this book， however， I am voluntarily sharing my honest opinion。 This was so good！ I love how Ava and Jameson's relationship started。 They are so cute！ Love how they came back together and how Jameson led her to God。 I love how Linda and Ava were able to work things out and the secrets and action in the story。 Great writing and great characters！ I received an advanced copy of this book， however， I am voluntarily sharing my honest opinion。 。。。more

I was excited to read a book that was based on a character I was already familiar with。 I was introduced to Jamison in the Blackwater series。 I love books were you get to see the characters grow and learn and the writer takes the reader along the journey with the characters。 This book does a great job of this。 Both Jamison and Ava learn and grow and together become better versions of themselves。

This is a great book！ Mandi Blake does not disappoint！ I fell in love with the characters， even the nasty ones because they were so good at being that way！ Ava's mother was fun to hate but glad my feelings could change for her。 Jameson and Ava are such a great fit and the story was fabulous！ This is a great book！ Mandi Blake does not disappoint！ I fell in love with the characters， even the nasty ones because they were so good at being that way！ Ava's mother was fun to hate but glad my feelings could change for her。 Jameson and Ava are such a great fit and the story was fabulous！ 。。。more

Truth is a Whisper is a sweet， heartwarming， uplifting， Christian romance。 I love the world of Wolf Creek Ranch that Ms。 Blake has created。 Ava leaves her very controlling mother to rush to her grandfather's side。 Everyone at the ranch is welcoming - and so different from that atmosphere Ava's mother creates。 Seeing Ava's growth - personally and spiritually - as she reconnects with Jameson kept me turning just one more page until 3:30 am。 I was sorry to reach the end of this well written book 。 Truth is a Whisper is a sweet， heartwarming， uplifting， Christian romance。 I love the world of Wolf Creek Ranch that Ms。 Blake has created。 Ava leaves her very controlling mother to rush to her grandfather's side。 Everyone at the ranch is welcoming - and so different from that atmosphere Ava's mother creates。 Seeing Ava's growth - personally and spiritually - as she reconnects with Jameson kept me turning just one more page until 3:30 am。 I was sorry to reach the end of this well written book 。 I am looking forward to the second in the series。 。。。more

Ava's memories of her long-ago visit to her grandfather's ranch are very sweet - until the ending where she was torn away from the man she's never forgotten。 Since then， though， her mother has kept her busy right under her thumb。 When her grandfather calls asking her to visit and help out for a while following a stroke， she drops everything and goes。 But she never expected to find Jameson still there， and now foreman。 They both still feel the attraction， but her life is back in the city - isn't Ava's memories of her long-ago visit to her grandfather's ranch are very sweet - until the ending where she was torn away from the man she's never forgotten。 Since then， though， her mother has kept her busy right under her thumb。 When her grandfather calls asking her to visit and help out for a while following a stroke， she drops everything and goes。 But she never expected to find Jameson still there， and now foreman。 They both still feel the attraction， but her life is back in the city - isn't it？ Should she decide to move， she'll have to face her mother's wrath。。。 When long-buried secrets begin to surface， Ava must decide who to believe and what she wants her own life to look like。The start of a new series！ I'd have to say that after such a start， I'm looking forward to seeing who else on the ranch is going to find their happily ever after in this series。 In the meanwhile， though， this was an enjoyable read， as long as you can largely ignore Ava's dictatorial mother。。。 It was good watching Ava gradually find her feet and her way in life， as well as seeing her and Jameson get back together again。 I also enjoyed getting to know the various other inhabitants of the ranch， and look forward to seeing more of them in future。 A good read。Note that I received a review copy of the book from the author。 I was not required to write a positive review and this is my considered opinion of the book。 。。。more

Ava's mom was just wow。 My heart felt for Ava and Jameson as well as her grandfather。 So much misunderstanding and assumption by her mom led to heartache for so many people。 Loved seeing them as a couple and their blooming romance but also seeing Ava finally stand up for herself。 I thought she was so very respectful toward her mom when she could have not been。 Really like the scripture and Christian emphasis in this book。 One of my favorite books by this author。 Really sweet ending and her mom w Ava's mom was just wow。 My heart felt for Ava and Jameson as well as her grandfather。 So much misunderstanding and assumption by her mom led to heartache for so many people。 Loved seeing them as a couple and their blooming romance but also seeing Ava finally stand up for herself。 I thought she was so very respectful toward her mom when she could have not been。 Really like the scripture and Christian emphasis in this book。 One of my favorite books by this author。 Really sweet ending and her mom well I like her better now。 We all need forgiveness and love。 。。。more

After reading this book， the first in a new series， I can’t wait to read the next book！ Jameson and Ava’s story is a wonderful journey of self discovery and a sweet， clean romance。 They met years before on Ava’s first visit to her grandparents ranch， on the occasion of her grandmother’s funeral。 Then， Ava had been devastated by her grandmother’s death， even though she had never been given the chance to meet her。 Jameson had been the one person who had given comfort and made her feel special。 The After reading this book， the first in a new series， I can’t wait to read the next book！ Jameson and Ava’s story is a wonderful journey of self discovery and a sweet， clean romance。 They met years before on Ava’s first visit to her grandparents ranch， on the occasion of her grandmother’s funeral。 Then， Ava had been devastated by her grandmother’s death， even though she had never been given the chance to meet her。 Jameson had been the one person who had given comfort and made her feel special。 Their parting had been difficult， heartwrenching and forced by her controlling mother who couldn’t wait to escape back to city and away from the family ranch。 Any chance to communicate with other afterwards was thwarted by her mother。 Now， an unexpected call from her grandfather spurs Ava to take time away from her job as her mother’s assistant to visit her grandfather and the ranch again。 Learning of his stroke has made her determined to spend time with her grandfather and get to know him before it becomes to late， like it was with her grandmother。 Seeing Jameson， now the ranch foreman， again is both unexpected and welcome。 Neither has forgotten the other， nor have their hearts。 Even the constant needling and harassment from her mother does not lessen Ava’s resolve to spend time with her grandfather and Jameson。 For Jameson， his time with Ava is bittersweet since his heart longs for her to stay permanently， but he knows this is just a visit and who knows when she will come again。 He is unaware that Ava is undergoing a transformation， coming into her own and discovering that she can be her own person away from her mother。 Her decision to learn all about the ranch and it’s operation both surprises and delights Jameson。 Their journey towards a happily ever after involves confronting the expectations of her mother， and Ava discovering her faith in God， in others and in herself。 Together， Jameson and Ava can weather any storm and overcome any obstacle before them with God’s help and guidance， and the support of their ranch community。 The realistic， well defined and fascinating characters made it easy to immerse myself in this wonderful book。 I look forward to reading the next book and others written by this author。 I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review。 。。。more

Ava was Jameson's first love。 Jameson met Ava when she and her mother came for her grandmother's funeral when Ava was finishing high school。 When he came up on her crying， overwhelmed with the grief of losing a grandmother she had never met， he couldn't help trying to comfort her。 He was smitten from then on。 Ava's mother was awful and mean and manipulative and she whisked Ava away and Jameson was sure he would never see her again。Now， it is six years later and she appears at the Wolf Creek Ranc Ava was Jameson's first love。 Jameson met Ava when she and her mother came for her grandmother's funeral when Ava was finishing high school。 When he came up on her crying， overwhelmed with the grief of losing a grandmother she had never met， he couldn't help trying to comfort her。 He was smitten from then on。 Ava's mother was awful and mean and manipulative and she whisked Ava away and Jameson was sure he would never see her again。Now， it is six years later and she appears at the Wolf Creek Ranch again to help her grandfather。 Jameson is now the foreman for the ranch and has grown up and he still wants Ava but he isn't sure he deserves her or if she will want him。 The more time they spend together， the more they begin to see that they belong together。 There are almost insurmountable odds against them， though， the least of which is Ava's mother。 There is suspense， family drama， romance and swoon worthy moments in this story。 It is a clean， wholesome read with substance but no sex or foul language to distract from the story。 I can't wait to read the next one in the series since there was a little taste of it at the end of this story to whet your appetite。I was given an arc copy of this book and I willingly offer my honest review。 。。。more

This is a spin-off series from Blackwater Ranch。 I have read all 6 of those。 To enjoy Jameson and Ava story you do not need to read those， but I highly recommend it。 Mandi writes characters you love and hate and she does it so deliciously well。 I have read all her books and can’t wait for book 2 in this series。

A great story that is clean and wholesome。 The main characters are everyday people with strong work ethics and Christian beliefs。 The developing relationship between Ava and Jameson is so heartwarming， but unexpected twists occur that keep you turning the pages。
