Speechless

By: Lindsey Lanza

Narrated by: Bryant Walker, Ariel Royce

When life's off-key, go to Malibu

Bestselling author Lucy Gold may write fairy tales for a living, but her own happily ever after is looking bleak. Seeking a fresh start after a sudden divorce on the eve of her thirtieth birthday, she decides to make a new life for herself and her service dog in Los Angeles. But when her living arrangements fall through just before takeoff, a handsome stranger offers to let her stay with him and his motley crew of musicians in Malibu. Her gallant hero? None other than Henry Turner, the award-winning composer whose music has held Lucy together while her life's been crumbling apart.

Henry might be at the peak of his creative career, but his crippling anxiety throws his personal life completely out of tune. Yet all of that changes the longer Lucy stays with him and his housemates, swiftly becoming one of their own and offering Henry a glimpse of happiness he never thought possible. As their relationship deepens, Lucy's attraction to Henry cannot be denied, but as she works through the aftermath of her divorce, she's resigned to give up on love. Henry plays all the right notes and says all the right words. Will Lucy be able to hear them over her fear of the past repeating itself?

good story

The story really drew me in and had me un tears in some parts heart warming in others

Twist

Loved the twist of instead of a high powered executive he is musical. And instead of a broke female she is successful…. But both a little broken. Was finding reasons to listen to this one!

Absolutely Loved This

I don’t give five stars across the board very often. I’m not even finished with this book yet and i had to come here to say this book deserves all the stars in every category. Both narrators are just, are just, whatever word best describes amazingly awesome. They are voice actors, they don’t just read, and they are what brings this story from good to fantastic. It’s a treat and a joy to hear them. The writing is also very well done. The story has a strong spine with details that are different enough to be inspired. The descriptions of Malibu took this displaced west coaster right back home. Excellent all the way around.

UPDATE: I finished and loved it all the way to beyond the end. Talk about a fairy tale. Swoony Prince, wicked witch, fairy Godmother, and more. What a way to dream!

I’ll Say It

Speechless was really a good listen! Thoroughly enjoyed the actors narration. Great story line, and truly lovable characters. I recommend!

yummy neurodivergent hero

I very much enjoyed the sexy, sweet neurodivergent hero in this one. Good cast of found family as well.
