Reviews for
Sound of a Voice That is Still
by P.G. Forte
Readers revisit friends from P.G. Forte’s previous
books in this series, and although Siobhan was featured in
Books 1 and 2, SOUND OF A VOICE THAT IS STILL is her story.
Siobhan has had some rough years and has become somewhat reclusive.
Living at the center helping injured animals, she has been
trying to heal mentally, but when she is at her happiest,
things always seem to go wrong. Siobhan feels guilt and hurt
from what has happened in her life, and is alone and lonely.
Although she is attracted to Ryan, she gets a little testy
because she is trying to protect herself from more anguish.
She can be a little annoying, and readers will want to shake
her and wake her up to realize what a good man Ryan is. But
Ryan can’t seem to stay away -- Siobhan draws him to
her like a magnet, and the awareness and attraction is strong
between them. The person who is lurking and creating mischief
thinks he is smarter than anyone, but Ryan is on his trail.
There is a large slate of characters who have their own stories,
with misunderstandings and lack of communication causing most
of their problems. Although the book can stand alone, readers
will want to read some of the secondary characters' stories
found in SCENT OF ROSES and A SIGHT TO DREAM OF of the Oberon
Series. The book is well written with realistic dialogue that
ends in a crescendo of action and excitement, leaving a few
threads for a continuation of the series.
SOUND OF A VOICE THAT IS STILL is a satisfying romance and
thriller that readers are sure to enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the stand-alone-third of a series. I haven't read
any of her Oberon books although I want to after reading this
one. Sound of A Voice That is Still has romance, multiple
plots, the paranormal, humor, friendship, and a couple of
on-going mysteries, so it has something for almost every reader.
This book is primarily about Siobhan and Ryan and how they
learn more about themselves, each other and love but it also
skillfully combines the lives of relatives and friends in
the small town of Oberon, California.
Siobhan has survived a tragedy that might crush anyone, but
she has chosen to live her life devoid of emotion. She will
not love anyone else because she does not deserve to love
or be loved. P.G. Forte does not dump this on the reader on
page one. You learn this very gradually as you get to know
Siobhan and you get to know her through her interactions with
others. Since the deaths of her husband and twin daughters,
she has gone through the motions of life. Only the wildlife
rescue center she recently opened gives her life purpose.
Ryan Henderson is a police officer who has been injured in
the line duty and while he is forced to wait for full recovery
to return to duty, he is having his own struggles. What if
he never can go back to work? He struggles daily with pain
and worries about addiction. While waiting, he wonders what
can he do to fill in the time? After meeting Siobhan, he decides
to spend time with her. When he finds out about Siobhan's
marine rescue center, he volunteers.
As Siobhan and Ryan get to know each other, both face more
challenges. It becomes more difficult for Siobhan to avoid
actual feelings for Ryan. And Ryan begins to wonder what is
behind that wall. Then there is the mysterious things happening
to her. Can someone be stalking her?
As I said, this book has something for almost every reader.
I thoroughly enjoyed the character development and the surprise
ending. You will too. Hurry and pick up your copy soon so
you, too, will know the surprise.
