ARC Review: The Sound of Power by Kathleen Haley

Publication Date: August 16, 2024

Once again, Kathleen Haley has created a brilliant spicy romance with a delightful love interest!!! Gavin Parnell is a strong-willed, confident man who is used to getting what he wants. He decides he wants Elodie, and as argumentative as Elodie is, she ultimately caves. Parnell’s underlying dark history plays a crucial role in both bringing Parnell and Elodie together and tearing them apart.

It’s hard not to love the world that Kathleen Haley has created. It’s a world full of dark romance and intrigue, but also a world with a level of mystery and tension. Parnell is clearly haunted from his past, and his reactions to that past very much propel this story forward.

I am such a fan of this entire series! It’s been a treat to ARC read three of these books! There is no shortage of spice and that tension we all love dearly as romance readers. They are all available on KU now, and y’all absolutely need to read them!!

I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
