Blurb:
Being a single dad was not on my short-list of life plans.
Especially since I didn’t know my daughter existed.
Now, I’m not only juggling all that goes with having a four-year-old, I’m also trying to provide my daughter the skills to communicate her needs.
I’m failing. Epically.
I need big help with this small person.
The woman assigned as my daughter’s mentor is a dream come true. Right up until she accuses me of neglect. Dr. Ellie Stone is fierce and determined and understands my daughter in a way I can’t.
It’s not long before I come to realize I might not be able to do this without her. What’s more… I don’t think I want to.
Because not only is Ellie perfect for my daughter, she’s perfect for me.
Her drive to protect people in need has me falling for her. It also puts a target on her back.
But the beautiful doctor is not the only one with a protective nature.
And I’ll end anyone who tries to take her from me.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Quiet Beautiful Things was such a lovely story! This story is a spinoff between the Calloway Creek series and the Stone Brothers series: the hero is Blake Montana, who was a secondary character in the Cal Creek books, and Ellie was Alexa’s baby in Stone Vows. I never read that one, but with the way Samantha Christy brought Ellie’s past into her present situation, I am very interested in going back to read it!
But back to Blake and Ellie…. his world is turned upside down when he finds out that he has a 4-year-old daughter he never knew about. And she is profoundly deaf. It broke my heart thinking about how scared and sheltered little Maisy was, and how she couldn’t even communicate her most basic needs! But Blake jumped into fatherhood with both feet, and was determined to get the best care he could for his little girl. Including learning ASL.
Enter Ellie. New to Calloway Creek and a mentor at the local Deaf school. I loved that Ellie and Blake had several moments before they were officially introduced. I was invested in them as a couple before they even began interacting!
This story was beautiful. There was so much raw vulnerability from both characters. Ellie really struggled with being with a hearing man because things that happened in her past. Meanwhile, Blake struggled with trying to parent a virtual stranger and balance the relationship he wanted with Ellie with what was best for Maisy.
Quiet Beautiful Things is a well-written story about love, sacrifice, and self-discovery. I fell so in love with these characters! And knowing from the Calloway Creek series what Blake’s brother, Dallas, had gone through, I can’t wait to read his book next!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
