So wonderful! It was great to return to this marriage of convenience story. *Updated - I reread this book by listening to the audio version this time. (I received a complimentary copy of the book all opinions in this review are my own) This is a story I'm already itching to re-read, and I highly recommend it!!! It works perfectly well as a standalone, but if you can, read the first book in the series since Zach is such an important character in that story and it will add to your understanding of him when you read this one. I loved Abigail's grace and compassion, which make her a perfect match for our sacrificial hero. There is a strong message of forgiveness and healing through relying on faith in God to provide answers to our challenges that they learn together. Abigail also struggles with a trauma in her past and the way her former BFF and current archenemy is still punishing her for it.
Zach shows his love through actions more than words (although the scene where he uses his words is, again- adorable!) and Abigail recognizes that. A marriage of convenience that is affectionate from the start, they don't rush their boundaries but also don't keep their growing feelings a secret. I loved seeing them warm up to each other so quickly and the laughter and delight they take in each other.
He and Abby were genuinely adorable when they engage in a little flirting and teasing. Darcy in that he's quiet and standoffish, but personable and charming with those closest to him. He has a troubled past but has redeemed himself, even though he still struggles with forgiving himself. Zach is a hero that sacrifices for others, he's a protector. More Than Words Can Say has now been added to that elite list- it gave me that special reading experience I crave- great characters and (I don't often use this word) *swoony* romance full of crackling chemistry, romantic tension, and longing for each other. Another top favorite of 2019!!! I absolutely adored every part of this book! While I've enjoyed every book by this author, I have two favorites that I just love to re-read- To Win Her Heart and Short-Straw Bride.
