No one lays open the heart and soul quite like New York Times bestselling author Mia Sheridan in this heart-wrenching love story about destiny, second chances, and the healing power of love set in the beautiful countryside in France. Named on of the "Best Romance Books of 2018" by BookBub! The moment she met Callen Hayes, eleven-year-old Jessica Creswell knew he was a broken prince. Her prince. They became each other's refuge, a safe and magical place far from their troubled lives. Until the day Callen kissed her - Jessica's first real, dreamy kiss - and then disappeared from her life without a word. Years later, everyone knows who Callen Hayes is. Famous composer. Infamous bad boy. What no one knows is that Callen's music is now locked deep inside, trapped behind his own inner demons. It's only when he withdraws to France to drink his way through the darkness that Callen stumbles into the one person who makes the music return. Jessica. His Jessie. And she still tastes of fresh, sweet innocence even as she sets his blood on fire. But they don't belong in each other's worlds anymore. There are too many mistakes. Too many secrets. Too many lies. All they have is that instinctive longing, that need-and something that looks dangerously like love. Praise for More Than Words "Sheridan explores the power of first love in a tale of childhood friends parted and reunited".

Childhood friend to lovers, Romantic, heartfelt

I’m convinced that Mia Sheridan has a magical touch with her books because, with each book I read I fall more in love with her and her characters, etc. From the very beginning with the prologue that introduced Jessica and Callen, I immediately felt a kinship with Jessica, and my heart went out to Callen. Mia has a way of reaching into your soul through her words, and captivating your entire attention, having you on the edge of your seat trying to anticipate where the story will lead to next. Fair warning, I’m going to be repeating myself by saying how much I fell in love with this book haha. Immediately with the first few pages, I felt connected to Jessica. While I have never studied French, I did relate to her with her love for fairytales when she was younger. When I was a kid, I was always playing pretend and imagining myself with my own prince. I would get swept up in the make believe world I created just as Jessica did, and similarly I used the stories of fairytales to escape the reality of my life when I was a kid. Jessica was a sweetheart, and reading just a bit of her own life from those first few pages, I already knew in my heart I loved her. Even that first meeting with Callen, I was intrigued to see who the mysterious boy was, and who he’d become to Jessica. Reading about Jessica and Callen when they were kids was so endearing, and I loved seeing those little pieces of memories they created together. The moment when Callen realized that Jessica was the woman he couldn’t stop thinking about, it made my heart swoon, but also be like, “why didn’t you recognize her earlier on??” Anyways, it was cute seeing Callen and Jessica jump back into the groove of their friendship, but also see how attracted they were to one another even after so many years apart. The chemistry between Jessica and Callen was palpable and fantastic! I adored the little glances, subtle moments that highlighted the love emanating between them. Once again, Mia Sheridan just knows the way to my heart, and the way she wrote Callen (as well as her other male characters from previous books) had me wanting to jump into the story, and have my own adventure with Callen. While Callen was portrayed as a “bad boy”, that was only partly due to Callen restoring to vices such as, drinking and one night stands to blur the harsh memories of all the bad things he endured in his life. When Callen was reunited with Jessica, he rekindled his relationship with Jessica, but also rediscovered a part of himself from when he was a kid around Jessica. For Callen being the “serious, bad boy” type, I found it endearing how he was sometimes shy or slightly obsessed with Jessica with him waiting around all day for her (in other words he was a total sucker/ simp for Jessica). This story gave me, “it’s always been you” trope vibes, with the way that Callen and Jessica were around each other, but also due to the fact that Jessica bought out a side in Callen that he hadn’t experienced in so many years. In addition, there was an immediate positive change in Callen that helped with his writer block for his music, and allowed him to feel a true sense of happiness that he always felt when being with Jessica. This story was absolutely beautiful and heartfelt. The message embedded within the story was inspiring and one I will try to remember in my life from now on. I enjoyed how Jessica’s and Callen’s story was kind of interconnected to the history of Adelaide and Oliver. There was a vibrancy to this story that really made me reflect on my life as well as seeing how Jessica and Callen went about their own lives. Overall, I fell in love with this book and of course the epilogue was a sweet ending to Callen and Jessica’s story, fate truly did have a plan for those two and I couldn’t say enough lovelier things about this story.
