The colors of love comes in several shades for Queen Thomas, and has been prevalent on her canvas of life as she continues to paint by the numbers. Successful beyond measure, but flawed to a degree where bright hues tend to fade a bit, happiness should be much more than an illusion. Queen is a young African American defense attorney passionately advocating justice for her brown-skinned clients, despite being subjected by black and blue bruises from her ex-boyfriend. Then there are the shades of gray that matters most when trying to balance the memorable scales of a loving relationship with a father that raised her as a single parent. Along with that are the dark clouds of uncertainty accentuating the need to suppress the void of missing the touches that only a mother can manifest. Is a successful but committed relationship so hard to fathom where integrity and faithfulness is not compromised? The whispers get louder with promises of primal screams as the colors take on a different tint as the plot thickens. Enter Quincy Hughes, a handsome doctor easy on the eyes but with an underlying intrigue that allows curiosity to kill much more than the cat. Quincy is on a mission. He relentlessly pursues her despite his mystique, and forces Queen to question the taboo concept of accepted love vs. forbidden fruit; and whether there's a future in it for her. Is she ready to tackle the relevancy of this different persuasion? And what about her ex-lover -- will he settle for second best and allow Queen to pursue matters of the heart, albeit with someone else? Sensual and brimming with sexuality, this heart-wrenching drama is groundbreaking fiction. A Whisper To a Scream is a sexy, moving and riveting tale that will pull you deep into an unforgettable erotic, socially-conscious, and emotionally-charged ride.

I can only ask...what's next?,
By Linda R. Herman, Author of Consequences "Rea... (South Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Whisper to a Scream (Peace In The Storm Publishing Presents) (Paperback)
This author has commanded my attention since her first novel, GOOD TO THE LAST DROP and I find myself coming back for more. Elissa has a way with words and tackles some hard-hitting issues in her latest offering, A WHISPER TO A SCREAM. Race, domestic violence, mental illness and so much more are served up to readers in this thriller.Love, romance, soul-stirring poetic prose, obsession, toe-curling, nipple-hardening, leg-crossing sex scenes, and suspense...can it all be found in this one novel by Elissa Gabrielle? The answer is a resounding yes, all that and then some! Be sure to get your copy and let Gabrielle take you from a mere whisper to a GUT-WRENCHING SCREAM!!! Linda R. Herman

Hard Whispers 4.5,

This review is from: A Whisper to a Scream (Peace In The Storm Publishing Presents) (Paperback)
From the very first words of A Whisper to a Scream by Elissa Gabrielle, I was unable to stop reading. The violence of the opening scene caught my attention and made my skin prickle. However, I wanted to know what was going to happen. It took me a couple chapters to get the feel for the author's very vivid, first person writing style, but once I felt it the story moved at a rapid pace and I was mesmerized.The heroine of the story, Attorney Queen Thomas does not fit any stereotypical profile of what many think an abused woman is like. She is beautiful, educated and accomplished, but, she is still a victim of abuse. Most astonishing is the fact that she is so reticent in getting her abuser, Derrick, placed behind bars. Her reasoning does not at first make sense, but as the story develops the reader realizes the `victim mentality' is much the same as any other kind of addiction. And though most will wonder why, the reader is allowed to at a minimum see how it could happen. Ms. Gabrielle also provides the reader with an `Anti-Derrick,' in the form of Dr. Quincy Hughes. He is a successful doctor who at first sight is smitten with Queen. An interesting twist is Quincy's ethnicity and how that plays out in the storyline. The three characters add such an across the board dynamic that the reader is immersed in the story from start to finish. I applaud the author for taking on the hard subject matters of domestic violence and mental illness and doing it in a way that is also readable. I recommend A Whisper to A Scream to all readers who enjoy riveting storytelling. Angelia Vernon Menchan APOOO BookClub
