The Voice We Find by Nicole Deese: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 



The Book

Two voices. One story. A chance to rewrite their future.

Sophie Wilder returns home to California with nothing more than a failed Broadway career and a geriatric cat. Stuck working at the family winery with her egotistical brother and desperate for a way to revive her acting dreams, she takes a side gig as an audiobook narrator with Fog Harbor Books. But getting mixed up in the life of her reluctant sound engineer was never a part of her plans.

August Tate is still reeling from taking on guardianship of his teen sister. Determined to find a solution to her degenerative hearing loss and to prevent his private recording studio from going under, he agrees to produce audiobooks part-time. When Sophie breathes new life into his creativity and forms an unexpected bond with his sister rooted in their common faith, he must confront the reasons he turned away from his own or risk losing the second chance he's only just started to believe in.

The Voice We Find is the third book in Nicole Deese's Fog Harbor Romance Series for fans of clean, faith-based stories, deaf and hard of hearing representation, workplace romance, books about books, found family, and sibling bonds.


The Author

Nicole Deese is a Christy and Carol Award-winning and bestselling author. When she's not sorting out character arcs and story plots of her own, she can usually be found listening to an audiobook and multitasking at least four different chores at once. She's a hoarder of sparkling water, a lover of long walks and even longer talks with friends, and a seeker of fun and adventure at all times. She lives in small-town Idaho with her happily-ever-after hubby, two freakishly tall teenage sons, and one princess daughter with the heart of a warrior. For more, visit NicoleDeese.com.


Book Review

The Voice We Find is the third book in the Fog Harbor series. While I absolutely recommend reading the other books as well (it's a beautiful series), this could absolutely be enjoyed as a standalone as well. 

One thing I know for certain when I pick up a book by Nicole Deese is that I am about be taken on a roller coaster of emotions... in the best way possible. I know I'll get a beautiful and swoon worthy romance, yes... but also a story with so much depth and emotion that is sure to stick with me. This one was certainly no exception. I absolutely adored August and Sophie--- both as individuals and together.  They both have some trauma they are working through, and I loved seeing that growth and healing as the story went on. August's love for his younger sister was beautiful--- even if he didn't always go about showing it in the right way and his struggling relationship (or lack thereof) with his faith truly helped to make this a beautiful read. I loved the inclusion of deaf representation within this story. Sophie's story added a bit of a mystery and was something I hadn't seen coming. There were a lot of layers to this story, and they all were weaved together beautifully to create a story that I absolutely adored. If you enjoy Christian romance, this book/series is one not to be missed.
