A tortured soul meets a damaged family… A lonely man, a widowed woman, a carefree boy, and a broken girl… Can the four come together and help heal each other? Or will fear of the unknown and guilt of the past keep them apart?

Her whispered prayers break her... At night, as she’s drifting off to sleep, I press my ear to the door and listen to her heart-wrenching pleas. Her words are agony to my healing heart, but I cherish the sound of them, for that’s the only time I ever hear my beautiful daughter speak. Since her father died two years ago, she’s grown quiet and withdrawn. Cat’s Valley was to be our new beginning, a place where my family and I can heal, but what we find there is so much more.

Scars mar his body. Pain has left him in pieces… Four years ago, I lost the two things I cherished most in the world. They were ripped from my arms in the most painful and cruel way. Since then, I’ve kept to myself, preferring to stay away from the pitying looks and murmured rumors. Everything changed when she and her children barged into my life. It was an accident, and I don’t deserve them, but now that they’ve stepped into my life, I’m not sure I can let them go.

*This book is intended for mature audiences, ages 18+. It may be enjoyed as a standalone!
Exclusive excerpt from the pages of Whispered Prayers of a Girl: "I don't deserve you. I don’t deserve whatever could happen between us.” I want to object, but he continues before I get a chance. “But there’s something I want more than my self-loathing for wanting something I shouldn’t.” “What?” I rasp. “A chance to know what it feels like to kiss you.”

My Review

Having only ever read one other book by Alex Grayson (the massively hot and steamy Bare Me) I wasn’t sure if I would like this book or not. I wondered whether the author could write as powerful a book from such a different angle.

Whilst this book is very different to Bare Me in that there is very little sex, it is very similar in the sheer intensity of emotions, the amazing quality of the writing and the wonderful characters within who capture your heart. In fact the characters are so well written they not just believable but real.

Unlike most books there isn’t just the two main characters in this one. OK the book is ‘only’ written from Gwen and Alexander’s point of views, but it would be nothing without Kelsey, Daniel, Will, Clara and Rayne. The story is one of overcoming pain, loss and sorrow, trying to accept the past and to move on in the future.

The journey taken isn’t an easy, simple or quick one, and that was one of the things I really liked about this book. Too often the hero and heroine meet and within a few chapters of the book some great emotional pain/issue is overcome. This book was more real, and for every two steps forward there seemed to be one taken back. It was worth following every step alongside these wonderful people, even if it did require copious amounts of tissues!

Alex Grayson is an author of incredible talent, every page seemed to hold depth and meaning. She fully immersed me in the story, I fought Alexander’s demons with him, I hoped and cried alongside Gwen and I prayed with and for Kelsey. This is a wonderful, wonderful read that you should not miss out on.

About Alex:

Alex Grayson is the bestselling author of heart pounding, emotionally gripping contemporary romance including The Jaded Series, The Consumed Series, and two standalone novels.

After spending several years as a devoted reader and blogger, Alex decided to write and independently publish her first novel in 2014 (an endeavor that took a little longer than expected). The rest, as they say, is history.

Originally a southern girl, Alex now lives in Ohio with her husband, two children, two cats and dog. She loves the color blue, homemade lasagna, casually browsing real estate, and interacting with her readers. Visit her website, www.alexgraysonbooks.com, or find her on social media!
