Guest Review: Whisper’s Edge – LuAnn McLane

Cricket Creek, Kentucky, is a sweet river town known for its theater, shopping, and cuisine. But tough times are affecting the residents of the local retirement community—until a handsome hero shows up… Savannah Perry loves her job as social director of Whisper’s Edge, a retirement community on the picturesque waterfront of Cricket Creek. Raised in foster care, twenty-nine-year-old Savannah feels treasured and loved by the retired residents, who treat her as their adopted granddaughter and rotate having her over for dinner. But the community is struggling to stay afloat financially—until Tristan McMillan swoops into town, rescues a dog, and, well, saves the day… Business-minded Tristan bought Whisper’s Edge from his estranged grandfather to prove his worth to the curmudgeon and to turn a quick profit. He never expected to fall for the charms of a village of crafty retirees—or to fall hard for a small town girl like Savannah. Suddenly the man who knows all about making money finds himself needing lessons in love and what really matters in life

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

Sweet, light-hearted romances are so comforting.  That’s exactly how I would describe this book – comforting.  Savannah is a sweet, kind-hearted person who loves her job as the director of a retirement village called Whisper’s Edge.  She is loved by the residents, who treat her as a member of their families.  When the facility falls on hard financial times (who isn’t familiar with this situation by now?!), the future appears somewhat grim.  It’s here where Tristan, the grandson of a resident, invests and saves the retirement facility and Savannah’s future.

The relationship that develops between Tristan and Savannah is predictable, but so perfect and sweet.  It literally makes you smile from the inside out.  It’s one of those love stories that inspires the genre of romance time and time again.  They just compliment each other brilliantly.  The residents at the facility add a bit of fun too!

Overall, this book is warming.  It warms your heart and your soul – perfect to curl up with and enjoy!
