Hushed (Western Palm Book 1)

Britni Hill creates a great atmosphere, her settings made me feel right at home, like I was sitting there having a beer with the characters. I wold say my biggest frustration is that I never really connected with Tess as a character. Tess seemed intent on avoiding the "bad boys" because her ex-boyfriend treated her poorly but ends up dating a jerk (Jason) anyway. Nothing from then on out surprised me very much.From the very beginning of the novel, I loved the tension between Tess and Blake. Their first kiss was swoon worthy so it kind of bothered me that we immediately jump to Tess dating/breaking up with Jason. When you have that kind of instant spark with someone it seems silly to brush it off, and even more strange to date the stepbrother. While I was glad we didn't have to read a lot about the Jason/Tess relationship, I did like Blake's character a lot which is what saved this book for me.The tension that builds over spring break due to their interesting sleeping arrangements was a lot of fun to read. As with most romance, there is always that fatal flaw in the relationship that needs to get resolved and the author does a good job with that without it being overly dramatic. All in all, I enjoyed the start of the Western Palm series and will definitely read the next installment if only to learn more about the other characters in the series.

This is the first I have read from this author and loved it!!It was an easy read that I couldn't put it down. A little bit of angst, just tthe right amount of steamy and few through your kindle at the wall moments.I totally fell for Blake he has the whole bad boy look going but is the sweetest thing ever!Tess was a good girl without being a goody, goody. She frustrated me a bit because she seemed to worry about what other people think too much.The one year later epilogue has me going crazy for the next book. I have to know how the heck these characters got to the situation they are in!

How can you not give this book for five star! I like Blake because he know what he wants and when he wants it he go for it he doesn't care who get in his way he going for it. Then there Tess is a young adult who people want to be in life like how her life is. At the end I liked how jake and Blake are brother again because it hard to lose a brother and how jake at the end is with his daughter that is a thing you never want to miss out of you life. And please tell me there is more storming coming with Tess and Blake and jake??

This book made me laugh, cry and feel some serious HEAT! Blake and Tess's story is sure to keep you hooked. Their palpable sexual tension, their undeniable connection, and the secret they feel forced to keep had me flying through this book to find out their fate.If you're a fan of new adult romance, summer reads and tattooed hotties, this book is for YOU! I loved it!

I enjoyed the book I did but I had a little issue with it to. At times I felt like I was reading about a bunch of alcoholics. it seemed whenever anyone had a beverage it was alcohol. It kinda drove me crazy.Other than that the book was good. You may want to smack the characters once in awhile

My friend recommended these to me and I was not disappointed!! Blake shows everyone you can't judge a book by its cover, or in this case a guy by his piercings and tats! This is a great story and I can't wait to read the next one, which I will do as soon as I finish this!!

Britni Hill has done it again! Excellent story and character development. It's one of those books you can read again and again. I know I will! I highly recommend this amazingly written novel, and I can't wait to read more from this brilliant author!PS...I can't stop thinking about Blake Martin. He is my new book boyfriend!

Could not put the book down! Another awesome book by britni hill. I definately didnt see the end coming! Can't wait for her next book.
