Becky Lower’s newest contemporary, Voice of an Angel, has a great ‘what if’ premise. A music legend who dies an early and tragic death is a real life story we all can relate to, but the author takes it to the next level by putting an interesting spin on it.What if the music legend didn’t die tragically? What if she hid away from the world? And the biggest question of all…why would she do such a thing?So begins the story of Evelyn Hammer, a woman with a big secret who buries herself in anonymity. She is a nurse who takes care of wounded soldiers. But instead of a wounded soldier, her newest patient is Max Bainbridge, a war correspondent. A reporter who always finds the story. And even though Evelyn should run away from him as fast as possible, she is drawn to Max. As they spend more time together she risks him finding out the truth, but she can’t seem to give him up. And Max senses that Evelyn has secrets that she doesn’t want anyone to know, which makes him all the more determined to find the truth.I love it when the hero and heroine are so wrong for each other that it makes it right! This is a story about learning to trust again and putting the other person ahead of your ambitions. A good addition to this author’s contemporary books.
