Synopsis

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.

I belong here, in the safety of routine. In the safety of Whispers.

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.

My Thoughts

If you’re looking for a book with a small town that protect their own, Sutton is that book. Who knew Nikki, the small-town diner waitress, had a pretty big secret and seemed to be on the run. And in this small town, there is also a movie star, Sutton, who is hiding out, hoping the press will die down. There is something that pulls these two together, and you will love to see that story and what happens.

It wouldn’t be a Samantha Skye book if it didn’t have Romance, spice, and mystery all mixed together like a perfect cupcake. Sutton has all of that and gives you a new book boyfriend you will be sure you want to come back to. There is also no need to have a third-act breakup, and the mystery of this book took a few turns where I was shocked, and my mouth just dropped open. I will say that how it ended was not how I saw it go down, and it was a great ride to be on.

Reading Sutton, it takes you back to our favorite small town of Whispers. Going back to this place, you do see characters from past books, but they are just side characters to this story. You don’t need to read the book prior to understand what is going on. If this has your attention (it should), there is some great news. Sutton is out now wherever you get your books, and if you are a KOBO Plus member, it is included in your membership.

I would like to thank Samantha Skye for the ARC Copy of this book.Getting the ARC Copy did not influence my thoughts on the book as they are all my own.
