Book Recommendation – When the Silence Breaks by Elizabeth Goddard
Book Description:
A deathbed confession. A decades-old secret. A mountain that holds the answers–and danger closing in.
When intelligence analyst Sarah Ellison learns of her grandfather’s deathbed confession connected to her brother’s murder, she’s determined to protect her remaining family. After further investigation, she discovers the disclosed information points to a decades-old government secret buried deep in the Cascade Mountains. With this knowledge, she looks for a guide who knows the terrain like the back of their hand.
After his father’s death in a tragic mountain accident, former Navy SEAL Ryder Goodwin no longer guides for the family business. At first, Ryder refuses to help Sarah, but he sees the trouble chasing her and can’t stand by while someone brings danger to his small-town mountain community.
Ryder and Sarah gear up to climb the mountain in a race against time and a looming storm. When the danger escalates, their search for answers shifts to a survival mission. Their only chance to make it through involves trusting each other and confronting the truth no one wants them to find.
This gripping romantic-suspense thriller set in the Pacific Northwest from USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard is a series opener that will sweep you away in a rush of adrenaline.
Narelle’s Thoughts:
I enjoyed reading When the Silence Breaks, the first book in Elizabeth Goddard’s Mercy Ridge romantic suspense series set in Washington. Sarah is a former Fed who’s in danger and on the run. She travels to Mercy Ridge, a remote mountain town, to uncover a long held family secret and find out why her brother was murdered.
Ryder is a former Navy SEAL who works as a wilderness safety consultant in Mercy Ridge. His meet cute with Sarah is scary and intense, and he saves her life. Sarah needs a wilderness guide and Ryder is her best option, despite his initial objections.
I loved journeying with Sarah and Ryder and I read the book quickly, within twenty-four hours, because I couldn’t put it down. Sarah and Ryder’s short time frame romance with forced proximity in the mountains is sweet and complicated by danger, secrets and emotional baggage they need to overcome. The intriguing mysteries, including a historical mystery, and complex suspense plot kept me guessing.
I recommend When the Silence Breaks to romantic suspense readers who like high octane suspense thrillers with a protector hero, forced proximity, unknown danger, family secrets, international intrigue, a mountain wilderness setting and relevant faith elements including justice and forgiveness themes.
Many thanks to Revell and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy.

Fan Girling with Narelle – Episode 77 – Love Contemporary Romance: What if We Broke the Rules? by Tara Grace Ericson
Welcome to my Fan Girling with Narelle podcast and YouTube show.
In this episode, I’m talking about why I recommend WHAT IF WE BROKE THE RULES? by TARA GRACE ERICSON to contemporary romance readers who like Christian romance novels.
Here are the links to my recommendations for Tara Grace Ericson’s books.

Book Recommendation – What if We Broke the Rules? by Tara Grace Ericson
Book Description:
She lives by the rules. Falling for him would break every one of them.
Pierce Schumacher, Nashville’s favorite hockey bad boy, is used to winning with charm, talent, and a little recklessness. When a late-season injury threatens his playoff dreams—and his future—Pierce is benched, humbled, and stuck in rehab with the one woman immune to his smile. Healing was supposed to be physical, not a crash course in patience, self-control, and a faith he’s never taken seriously.
Physical therapist Lindsay Granger trusts rules because rules don’t lie. They don’t flirt, don’t make promises they can’t keep, and they don’t break your heart. When her partner goes on maternity leave, Lindsay is left fulfilling her clinic’s contract with the Nashville Nightcrawlers—an assignment full of loud arenas, fragile egos, and one dangerously charming hockey player she has no intention of trusting.
Confident, sarcastic, and relentlessly hardworking, Lindsay keeps her heart under lock and key—especially from athletes who look like red flags in skates. Overthinking is a habit she can manage. Crossing professional lines is not.
As playoffs loom and sparks fly, Pierce and Lindsay must navigate strict workplace boundaries, relentless media scrutiny, and feelings that refuse to stay professional—knowing one wrong move could cost him his career, her reputation, and the hard-won faith they’re both learning to trust.
A faith-threaded, heartfelt hate-to-love romance featuring an surprisingly deep hockey player, a snarky and secure heroine, and a story about grace and the growth of friendship and love in the rockiest ground.
Narelle’s Thoughts:
I enjoyed reading What if We Broke the Rules? by Tara Grace Ericson, the first book in The Heart of Nashville multi-author series. Pierce is a Nashville professional hockey player with a bad boy reputation who’s sidelined due to an injury. Lindsay is an overworked physical therapist who’s unhappy about being assigned to Pierce’s case. Sparks fly when they first meet, and Pierce is frustrated when he can’t charm Lindsay.
I loved how Pierce and Lindsay were forced to spend time together in a work capacity due to his injury. Their friendship pushes Lindsay to challenge her life rules and lays the foundation for a fun and sweet romance. Lindsay has past emotional baggage and trust issues to overcome. Pierce is on a faith journey and working through his own issues.
Lindsay’s friend group, who meet at Melody’s Cafe, are delightful side characters who will be main characters in future books in the series. I loved seeing the characters living their faith and praying for each other.
I recommend What if We Broke the Rules? to contemporary romance readers who like celebrity sports romances with a hockey player hero, forced proximity, forbidden romance, an ensemble cast of friends, and strong faith elements including forgiveness themes.
