| Love isn't always loud. Sometimes it's silent.
Gabby Cosette has always been dubbed the good girl of quaint Redwood Ridge, Oregon, and being permanently put in the friend zone has left her dating life stagnant. With no prospects in sight, she clings to her friends and resolves to not let loneliness drag her under. So when the town Battleaxes set their matchmaking sights on her, she figures it can't hurt. Yet the guy they think is perfect for her just happens to be not only her boss at the veterinarian clinic, but her best friend. Sure, Flynn O'Grady is attractive and the nicest guy around, but going there with him would topple both of their carefully constructed worlds and there would be no going back. Even if he is starting to make her girly parts zing. Having been born deaf, Flynn has already felt like an outsider most of his life. Aside from his brothers, Gabby is about the only person who's gone out of her way to treat him as more than a handicap. Which is exactly why he's banked his secret attraction for his sweet, beautiful vet tech. Except his meddling family is trying to play Cupid and ruin the best thing to ever happen to him. Without Gabby, his work as a veterinarian, never mind his personal life, wouldn't flow. Determined to ignore the antics, he's secure in the knowledge she's not interested in him romantically. But then a kiss changes everything . . . and he's wondering if taking the ultimate shot at love might be worth the risk. | ||||

| Aww, I seriously loved these two! Gabby was a sweetheart (who "burped sunshine and farted rainbows", haha) and I loved her heart. Flynn was also adorable. Caring, sexy, and kind. Their relationship, from the friendship they share at the beginning to the romantic love they eventually allow themselves to embrace, is such a deep and loving one it was truly swoonworthy.
The relationship with the O'Grady brothers was also really wonderful and there were so many really sweet moments that brought a smile to my face. The sign-language aspect and things from Flynn's point of view as a deaf person was really fantastic and I felt that it was really, very well-done. The issues Flynn had felt very realistic and I applaud the effort and skill that made it so enjoyable! It was a big part of the story while also feeling very normal. That us to say, Flynn wasn't portrayed as a "deaf guy," but a guy who happened to be deaf. The chemistry between these two was off the charts, and felt very natural as well. The slow burn was perfect. As an animal lover, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the animals in my review. Flynn's dog and Gabby's cat were adorable additions. And the discovery on the new client's farm was heartbreaking, but appreciated none-the-less as it deepened the story and the characters that much more. This was the first book by Kelly Moran that I have read, but will certainly not be my last! The characters were rich, the romance and friendships deep, and there were just so many "feels"! | ||||
