Mia Sheridan does it again! More Than Words is a breathtaking, deeply emotional romance that explores the power of love, fate, and healing. From the very first page, Sheridan’s signature storytelling pulls you in with lyrical prose and heart-wrenching depth. I devoured this book in days—once I hit the halfway point, there was no stopping until I reached the end, no matter how late I stayed up reading!
A Love Story Written by Fate
The story follows Callen Hayes and Jessica Cresswell, childhood friends who reunite years later under vastly different circumstances. Callen is now a famous composer struggling with inner demons caused by past trauma. Jessica is a vibrant woman who rose above circumstances to chase her dreams. They share a connection that is beautifully nostalgic and seem tied together by Fate. Their journey is one of healing, self-discovery, and the most powerful force on Earth…love..
A Setting That Feels Like a Love Letter to France
Reading More Than Words made me want to book a flight to France immediately. The dreamy, romantic atmosphere is the perfect backdrop for Callen and Jessica’s love story. From the cobblestone streets and candlelit cafés of Paris to the lush Loire Valley, Sheridan brings the setting to life with rich, immersive descriptions. The French countryside, with its historic beauty, adds an almost magical quality to their journey. I could almost taste the delicious cuisine and smell the roses blooming in the gardens.
A Touch of History and the Power of Words
History lovers will rejoice at the novel’s fascinating historical layer. Jessica, a French translator, works on decoding an ancient diary written by a companion of Joan of Arc. The diary’s intimate reflections provide a captivating glimpse into history, while also serving as a source of inspiration for both Jessica and Callen. Through the power of words—both written and spoken—Jessica helps Callen break through his musical writer’s block, proving that words hold immense power, just like magic spells.
One quote that resonated deeply with me was:
💫 “Live fiercely and without regret.”
Originally spoken by Joan of Arc to her companion, these words become a guiding light for Jessica, inspiring her to take control of her own destiny. It’s a message that lingers long after the final page.
Final Thoughts: A Must-Read for Romance Lovers
Sheridan’s writing is evocative and immersive, making you feel every longing glance, every note of Callen’s music, and every heartbeat of their love story. The blend of romance, personal growth, and historical intrigue adds richness to the narrative, making it impossible to put down.
For readers who love poignant love stories with complex characters, stunning prose, and a setting that makes you feel like you are vacationing in France, More Than Words is an absolute must-read. Mia Sheridan has once again proven why she is one of the best in the genre.
✨ Final Verdict: 5/5 Stars ✨
