Review: Speak to My Heart

Speak to My Heart by Rebecca Talley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hailey loves her accounting job, but when her grandpa suffers a stroke, she is compelled to go and stay with her grandparents for awhile to help out. What she didn't know was that Gramps's speech therapist, Peter, would be much more than professional help. With both of them just still getting over difficult breakups, can anything come of it?

This is a sweet romance novel that in a way is completely predictable, but there are still a few surprises that readers may not expect. Readers will love and empathize with Hailey, and root for her until the last page.

The only real problem with this novel is that issues are emphasized by repetition. First the action and dialogue show the issue, Hailey thinks about the issue, then the narration reiterates the issue. This type of repetition isn't necessary and gets old quick, especially when it comes to the subplot about Aunt Regina. The reader catches on quickly she's not necessarily a good person--we don't need to be told multiple times in the same paragraph.
