Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2005

Can love unlock two guarded hearts?  Tucker Mills, Massachusetts, 1839.  Bound as an indentured servant to the Tucker Mills bank and its controlling manager, Reese Thackery finds comfort in her faith and her friends.  She vows to serve her remaining two years with a willing heart. But that's before bank owner Conner Kingsley - all six-foot-six of him - rides into town to audit the bank's business dealings.  Thinking that things are finally looking up, Reese starts her work at the Kingsley family manor, but recoils from Conner's imposing physical presence, haunted by memories of another master.  Not even Conner's soft voice and kind gestures can comfort her. When the bank manager turns vengeful, Conner and Reese must become allies.  Can Reese see beyond her place as a servant to accept God's larger plan for her future and her heart?  A tender story of the power of faith over fear and the tie that truly binds.

2.0 out of 5 stars Could Have Been Better, August 18, 2005

By 

A Reader (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Just Above a Whisper (Tucker Mills Trilogy, Book 2) (Paperback)

"I have liked most of Lori Wick's books,but this book is not one I enjoyed. I had to make myself finish it. There were way too many unnecessary conversations and characters. I'm glad the people are concerned about their spiritual state, but I got extremely bogged down with all the sub characters' Bible studies,thoughts,etc. Is this book about the town people or Reece and Conner? The main couple in the book hardly had any story time for them. Characters who weren't even particular friends/relatives with the main couple had way too much page time. Also, more could have been said about Reece and Conner's personalities. I didn't think they even had a chance to get to know one another very well. The previous book was much better then this one was in my opinion. If you are looking for a good Lori Wick book to read I definitely recommend The Californians Series, The Cameron Series, The Kensington Chronicles, Sophie's Heart, Pretense, and The Princess."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great follow-up!, September 9, 2005

This review is from: Just Above a Whisper (Tucker Mills Trilogy, Book 2) (Paperback)

If you liked the first book, you'll love this one too! There is nothing like sitting down to a good book and simply enjoying the characters and the story the author brings to life. You will find yourself cheering on Reece and Connor as they face the challenges set before them. There is a lot of talk about God and how to find Him and what to do after you do; some might want more story, but if you look at the whole, you see that the town is stuggling with finding it's way to the true light. So many people back then thought you only had to "do good and pay your tithe's", but it's so much more than that and that is what these characters are finding out. You'll love the continuing story of Jace and Maddie. Hope you like it too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really Enjoyed It!, October 23, 2005

By 

Kacy (VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Just Above a Whisper (Tucker Mills Trilogy, Book 2) (Paperback)

I couldn't wait until this book came out and I was excited to read it once I got my hands on it. I really liked getting to know Reece. I wish there had been more detail about Connor though. I had no clue how old he was until the end. For some reason I pictured him as much older than he was from how he ws described. I could have used a little more light shed on his character. I still enjoyed this book very much and didn't have any trouble finishing it. I couldn't put it down! I can't wait to see what's next for Tucker Mills!
