Lovely Non-traditional Addition!
This is #04 in the The Sinclair’s Series.
HEA with No cliffhangers!
These are about the members of the Sinclair family. The characters are all involved in each others lives and stories so I would HIGHLY suggest you read them in order.
Content Advisory:
There is sex, dirty talk, and lust fueled cursing.
Now that the siblings have all found their other halves, its time to move on to the cousins. Their family dynamics were much happier and loving growing up, with no alcoholics. Micah is first and he met our heroine Tessa back in book 3, and hasn’t been able to get her out of his mind since. Being home with family has had a lasting impression on his soul. He wants to take a page from Jared’s book and build places for his family out on the peninsula.
Tessa Sullivan lost her hearing due to a viral infection 6 years ago, and with it her fiance and career as an ice skater. She actually met Xander Sinclair first, when he saved her from walking into a busy street. Present day she lives in Amesport and runs Sullivan’s Steak and Seafood with her brother Liam. That is the place where everyone gets the lobster rolls from, in case you were wondering where you heard that name before.
Micah Sinclair is back in town on doctor’s orders, and can’t stop meeting Tessa in the shower! He purposely brushed up on his American Sign Language, ASL for short, so he would be able to communicate with the woman that stirs him. He makes many touching gestures to make Tessa feel abled, even when she scares the crap out of him with triple-axles.
I find it refreshing when the main characters are not your stereotypical hero or heroine. Micah isn’t ‘overcoming’ Tessa’s issues, he simply accepts them and strives to make her life better. He shows her that she doesn’t have to be limited, and that is lovely to see in a romance. Julian continues to pop up to add to his story, which is next. We learn more about Xander’s situation, and I so hurt for him. There is also lots of updates and cameos from the rest of the Sullivan clan. It’s a great addition to the series, and so worth a listen.
J.S. Scott continues to entertain. I am happy about this nontraditional addition!
Elizabeth Powers continues to narrate and I am coming to rely on her voice for all of these characters.
Normal speed was fine, however I listened at 0.90x. It worked better for me. The whispers and thoughts are getting better.

great! I started following the author and now have read both series.
This book was one of the best in the series so far. Tessa is an inspiration. I could see her on the ice having the time of her life. Full of love for Micah. And the live he has for her to go to man. He helped her to blossom. She helped him to love. Great book!!!
Tessa Sullivan and Micah Sinclair are an unlikely pair. But he’d wanted her from the first time he’d seen her even after he realized that she was deaf. Tessa knew all about Micah’s extreme sports and playboy lifestyle but that didn’t stop her from giving into him, knowing full well their time together was limited and she could very well end up with a broken heart. Micah encourages Tessa to skate again and challenges her to live life fully. A miscommunication causes heartbreak for them both and it’s up to Tessa to repair the damage. She bares her heart, her body and her soul to the man she loves.
I heard this story loud and clear. It gripped at heart from the very beginning. When I read a book by this Author, I know I can always expect a happy ever after BUT what happens in the story is very unknown and sweet baby jesus this story was very powerful. It was an emotional ride reading about Micah and Tessa but one that I am very thankful for having the pleasure of reading.
Micah Sinclair another alpha male from the Sinclair series that I have been dying to read about. Never one to let her readers down, Author J.S.Scott gave us it all. The dominate male but with a heart that makes you swoon. The looks that you can’t help but create in your mind and the power of words that bring the whole story together.
Micah is taking a break from his stressful lifestyle in New York. Where else would he retreat to but Amesport, the town where I seriously want to live. Under doctor’s orders he needs to take a break. It isn’t easy for any Sinclair to hand over control and Micah is no different but he is also worried about is brother, Xander and with good reason.
Tessa Sullivan a beautiful young woman who had everything, well maybe not everything but at one time in her life, she did have all her senses and now after a tragic accident she is left without hearing, her whole world has become quiet. Oh God, I can not even imagine how that must feel.
Tessa moves back to Amesport with her family, obviously needing support and learning a new way to live her life. Her ex fiancee Rick the P…, yeah you know where I am going with that. He’s is the worst kind of human, selfish, arrogant, black hearted, he’s just despicable. Luckily it becomes very clear that Tessa is way better off without him in her life.
Tessa is staying at Randi’s old house until she sells the place or could it already be sold unknown to Tessa? Life does work in mysterious ways, especially in Amesport. It may be a small costal town but that place gets a lot of action and there is some fabulous people living there.
Micah and Tessa become very good friends. He is exactly what Tessa needs. He may feel bad for sometimes being so pushy but when other people can see what you can’t sometimes it’s for the best.
This book deals with some difficult issues but the Author portrays the situations that are dealt with extremely well. I suppose the key to getting it right is research. I have a special place in my heart for Tessa. I wish for everyone that struggles in life to find a Micah.
God listen to me going on and on. I could tell you so much about this book but I best not LOL!! It is definitely a story you will want to read. Author J.S.Scott fans you are in for a treat. Anyone who loves an epic romance story this book is for you.
Thank you Author J.S.Scott for another outstanding story. I will not deny I felt great sadness but you always bring a smile to my face. The elements of a gifted writer, bringing out the emotions of a reader. THANK YOU!!
Tessa and Micah have discovered that love knows no leaps or bounds. Tessa has been living in her soundless world since illness took her hearing unexpected years ago.

My review :
Will their past demons come between them and a future together …
As I was granted an advance copy of the French translation of this book, I thought it would Liam’s story, the one I have still to read, yet it was nice to reread Tessa and Micah story.
And as at the time of my reading, I did not yet understand the value of reviews, here is mine.
Tessa faced so much losses, her hearing, her career, her fiancé then her parents, no wonder she went downward. Still she got up and rebuilt herself in a new Tessa, more prudent, smooth and less passionate. But her old self is still not so far if she would let her come out.
Micah succeeded in everything « businessly » speaking, but his private life is a wreck, he is lost like Tessa. Close to burnout. Without suffering from the survivor guilt, he feels helpless regarding his younger brother’s autodestruction.
So in need of a rest, doctor’s orders, it is no wonder her retreats to the resort where lives the woman who haunts his dreams since their awkward meeting in a bathroom.
Slowly, thinking he would purge his system from her, they get closer, he goes past her walls and reawakens the old Tessa.
Using her pride against herself, he compiles her to face her past and her fears. This is how, bit by bit, she regroups herself, gluing her young self full of dreams with the Tessa from now who lost so much. By making her reviewing her past, he grants her back a part of herself she thought lost forever.
Now the line is thrown, will she catch it in time or let her fears hold her back.
4.5 stars

Another Sinclair falls and this one is so stubborn he runs when he should have stayed and fought for what was his. Micah Sinclair is an extreme sports mogul and Tessa Sullivan a former Olympian skater who lost her hearing after a bout of meningitis. Now in Amesport, Maine, these are the next pair to come together in spectacular fashion. Definitely a recommendation from me!
This book is just amazing. I am so in love with all of these Sinclair men. They just make you melt. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
J.s. Scott knows how to write romance. I have never been disappointed with her books.
Love this author. Read everything she writes. Great series!
A little slow and repetitive at times, but good nonetheless.
Absolutely wonderful.
Cute book with a good heart. Definitely light reading. Not a lot of depth, but an interesting story.
Love this author
Steamy love story!
I love each book in this series!
