Hmmm, I'm a bit conflicted with this one. See, I adore BC's writing and as always she was on point with this one. But something just didn't work and I'll get to that.

I loved both Brooks and Maggie, loved the feels the book pulled from me including making me cry when she sent him away. Loved the side characters, Cheryl really surprised me, and I really want a Mrs Boone in my life. And I really loved where the author started the story, reading through the eyes of a child was a fabulous way of suc ...more

2 1/2 "I could just cry because I feel so torn over this book." Stars

First of all I have to say I absolutely loved Brooks and Maggie. Their true and unconditional love for each other was inspiring and so very touching. Please understand, their relationship was beautiful. Sometimes heartbreaking, but always beautiful. I'm rounding this one up to 3 stars all for Brooks and Maggie being each other's anchor through some pretty rough storms. I kind of wanted to rate it 2 :'(

The problem I have is (vie ...more

“True love meant you could laugh at mistakes. True love meant you could whisper secrets. True love meant you never had to dance alone.”

“Love didn’t come with guidelines. It flowed into a person with only hope as its current.”

“Moments. Humans always remember the moments. We recall steps that lead us to where we were meant to be. The words that inspired or crushed us. The incidents that scarred us and swallowed us whole. I’ve had many moments in my lifetime, moments that changed me, challenged me, “True love meant you could laugh at mistakes. True love meant you could whisper secrets. True love meant you never had to dance alone.”

“Love didn’t come with guidelines. It flowed into a person with only hope as its current.”

“Moments. Humans always remember the moments. We recall steps that lead us to where we were meant to be. The words that inspired or crushed us. The incidents that scarred us and swallowed us whole. I’ve had many moments in my lifetime, moments that changed me, challenged me, moments that scared and engulfed me. However, the biggest ones–most heartbreaking and breathtaking ones–all included her.”

Sometimes there is a story that will take you by surprise and touch your soul in ways that you were not prepared for. The Silent Waters is that book for me. This book has anchored itself into my heart and left me utterly speechless. I am a complete and total loss for words. I would love nothing more than to write a beautiful and profound review for this book. But, if this story has taught me anything, it has taught me that silence can be more powerful than actual words. That it is ok if I can’t find the right words to express the feels running through my mind at this moment. However, I am going to try my best. I am going to try super hard to convey my jumbled thoughts and feelings…

The Silent Waters is beautifully written and will take you on the most unexpected journey. It will grab hold of your heart and keep you breathless, waiting to see how it will all play out. This is another one of those stories that begs you to experience it blind and not spoiled. I promise, promise, promise that the journey will be worth it. Brittiany C. Cherry has delivered a beautiful and unforgettable story about love and the power of your voice.

The Silent Waters is an amazing addition to The Elements Series. This story is beautiful and heartbreaking. The romance, angst and drama is perfectly balanced. This story is very personal and powerful. Even though I’ve never had to suffer in silence, this story has spoken to my heart and left me with tears in my eyes. This story is just incredible and I loved every moment of it.

Silent waters... turbulent waters.
It's true, life is made up of moments, some more significant than others.
All it takes is one. One moment can change everything.

"Not all broken things need to be fixed. Sometimes they just need to be loved."

That's what this story is about... in so many ways and to pretty much all of the characters.

Brooks and Maggie's journey is an intense one. They relationship is like no other, as is this story.

"Being in love with someone didn't mean you only loved them d ...more
