Brought to you by OBS reviewer VanessaEvery once and a while, you will find a romance book that takes you on a different sort of journey then you've experienced before. This is what Louder Than Love did for me.This was overall, a beautiful and engaging story that will melt your heart. Although the slow start can turn some readers off, I was intrigued enough to continue on the path the author set for us and let it takes its course. I am so glad that I did! What I most enjoyed was that this book felt real to me. Real in the sense that these were people I could have known or would have like to have known in real life. I think that the pain and sadness that both lead characters have experienced make them much more relatable.For me, there was one huge message to this book that really struck a cord: Life is disappointing and yes it can be full of so much hurt and suffering, but if you stay open, you can experience life again in ways you never thought possible.I was very impressed with the authors writing style. It allowed me to feel as though I was right there experiencing the heartache and happiness with both Adrian and Katrina (Tree). The story was filled with an overwhelming array of raw emotions that left me at times taxed, but in a good way. You feel everything in this book. Every emotion on the spectrum and you really get to know the characters as unique people and not as your typical hero/heroine. All of the characters, including the supporting characters, were well written and enjoyable. I didn't feel that there was any part of this book that needed to be left out, as everything only made the story that much more enthralling.This book is absolutely an emotional whirlwind and well worth the build up! I don't want to say too much about the story itself because as I've said before, there is such a raw human element to this book that you need to experience it as it happens. My final words would be to read Louder Than Love. Allow yourself to be open to a new experience and reap the rewards! You will not be disappointed.This review and more at openbooksociety dot com
