Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased the 3book/audio whisper snyc off Amazon.

Murph and Madison.  These two have been on my radar since book 1.  This friends with benefits routine they have put on was for their blinders but scared to admit it.  Too afraid to rock the safe oat of friends them open the possibility of the love they they could have.

Murph/Richard has been in the hockey industry for a few years and is looking at his future.  He is wondering if he should hang up his skates and look at doing something else.  Madison is an awesome agent who met this young stud 8 years ago when she started the new job and has moved up in the ranks.  The two spend more time together then apart.  But they are so scared to move forward.  They know each other inside and out yet are afraid to be without the other if they are rejected.

When Becca and Kinsley push Madison in to blind date with a doctor, Murph/Richard knows its now or never.  He realizes he needs to claim his girl of lose her to someone else.  The couple transforming from friends to more was a great read.  The relationship and love were easily felt through the story.  Th narrators did an amazing job changing voices and becoming the characters of the stories.  They pulled me in and kept me draw in the entire time.

Once the couple move into a new phase Madison is rocked with news and leans on Richard/Murph more than ever.  I loved the direction of the story and can’t wait for the next book.
