Loved the book and the audio made me love it even more.
I read this book with my eyes when it was first released back in March 2021 and I loved it. Often when listening to the audiobook of a recent read I don’t pay close attention to the story because I already know what happens. This was not the case at all with Leap of Faith.
Ms. White has found the perfect voice actor for her books. Piers Ryman does a great job with accents and distinctive character voices and I love listening to him perform words that I already love.
Other than my comments about Piers Ryman, there isn’t a lot that I could add that I didn’t already say when I first reviewed the book so I’m sharing that review below:
This story had my emotions all over the place. There’s mystery and suspense but mostly it was the developing relationship between Darius and Charlies that kept me on pins and needles.
The blurb lets us know that Charlie’s gymnastics career has ended but we’re kept in suspense and it’s quite a while before fully learn what happened. We also know that Darius’s performance partner has left the circus but why he left is not fully disclosed right away. These little tidbits are only part of the reason why I found this story so engrossing.
I also loved the rich cast of secondary characters. Charlie’s younger sister was a delight and she added an element that brought out a softer side of Darius. Carlos was an interesting character, one of those you love to hate type. His is the kind of character that I love to see redeemed at some point. Maybe another book set in this world?
I’ve come to really appreciate Ms. White’s writing style and her ability to keep me hanging on every word just enough that it’s not painful, but also to weave an excellent story while she does so. Leap of Faith is a standalone story, and the main couple gets their HEA, but the ending left things a bit open for more stories. I hope there are more books coming set in this world. (Note: the story continues as a serial on the author’s website after newsletter signup.)
