Emma Uranova enjoys her office job until her boss disappears with the investors’ money. To avoid the media storm and false accusations, Emma flees to Whispering Creek, Tennessee to live on her best friend’s secluded property. When a temporary position opens up in Nashville, Emma leaves small-town anonymity to pad her depleted bank account. With a handsome new boss and a steady income, Emma believes life is looking up…until she discovers she has transported the scandal in her backpack. Where is God when her life is falling apart?
Wade Donoven is recuperating from a crash that sidelined him from the family electrical business. Worse yet, his prodigal younger brother is getting the glory for Wade’s accomplishments. Desperation, and physical setbacks, have him agreeing to let Emma help him manage the business office. But when trouble follows her to his doorstep, Wade must make some difficult choices. Sending Emma back to Whispering Creek may unknowingly place the woman he's come to love in danger.
There is so much to love about this story! I recently came across the phrase "What didn't work out for you actually worked out for you," and that seems to be Emma's story in a nutshell. Her dream job with an investment company goes up in flames when her boss absconds with his investors' money, (along with Emma's life savings) leaving Emma to deal with the fallout. She flees to Whispering Creek and the home of her lifelong friend, Sam, where she lands a temporary job that seems like a Godsend -- if she can win over her grumpy but oh so handsome new boss, Wade. I'm drawn to realistic, likeable characters and this story has a full cast. The dialogue is fresh and up to date and I especially loved Emma's simple, honest prayers. 'Pray without ceasing' seems to be her way of life. Add a lovely setting and numerous obstacles thrown in Emma's path and you have a top notch Christian romance you won't be able to put down. I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend this book!
A touching love story with just the right amount of suspense and the perfect sequel to Christmas at Whispering Creek. I enjoyed getting to know characters who had a minor role in the first novel and getting to see different perspectives of the main characters from that book, particularly the way Wade viewed his younger brother, Cole. I appreciated the themes of trusting God and forgiveness, things I’m sure we all struggle with sometimes. I was captivated with the story from beginning to end, but the humor sprinkled throughout kept it from getting too intense. I highly recommend this book!
Another winner from this deeply spiritual and talented author, Barbara Britton. Escape to Whispering Creek is the sequel to Christmas at Whispering Creek, but it can be read as a standalone. That said, I always recommend reading any series in order. The balance between the romance and suspense is handled so well, but neither ever overshadowed the spiritual component of the story. The main characters are endearing. Emma in particular jumped right off the page into this reader’s heart. I hope we’ll be treated to more contemporary romance from one of my favorite authors! I received an advance copy of this book but am not required to leave a positive review. The thoughts are my own.
