When his beat meets her spark, Outspoken Chaos Reigns.
All Shae Court wants is a fresh start. When her life is flipped upside-down and her dream job lands in her lap, she jumps at the chance. Being the manager for Outspoken Chaos will give her the ability to take care of not only herself, but her kids.
There are three things that drummer Tyler Shepherd knows: he doesn’t do relationships, he … he doesn’t do relationships, he doesn’t get involved with women fifteen years younger than him, and he most certainly doesn’t develop feelings for his manager.
The two of them meeting is like gasoline on a fire and neither one wants to get burned. Can they survive working together or is history doomed to repeat itself?

Another story that gets you in the feels! Shea is trying to find her self, get her life on track after a divorce and win her kids back while being a nice mom trying to be friendly with the X. A new job takes her out of town adding another stressor to the mix. Oh and let’s not for get a super sexy hot abs cold drummer boy who can’t decide if he wants to play nice or be the worst coworker ever. This story has the angst you need, the heat you want, the anxiety inducing moments you crave and the awwwwwsss that make you’re heart swoon. It does touch on some touchy subjects so if you have triggers beware. But if you like the love stories that have worlds and you feel like your at Cheers where everyone knows your name, then these books are for you. Lots of love and closeness from all the previous characters and as well as little glimpses into their lives as others relationships evolve.
Really liked this story and I usually hate romance stories with single moms. This story had single mom with two kids but it was good. Tyler was awesome and Shae was just adorable. I loved that she was twenty two and Tyler thirty seven. She needed someone in her life who was strong but wasn’t afraid to let her be herself. This story was sexy and romantic. I’m not going to read book five because it’s about two guys and it’s not my thing. But I’d love to read about Ace and Cara in the future. I recommend this book and I recommend this series.
We learned in the previous book that Shae’s husband was cheating and she was leaving him. As is the way with good friends, Shae’s rally behind her, helping her with child care, a place to stay and even a better job. The only problem is that the job will have her touring with the band, meaning she won’t be with her kids as much. But she is willing to make this sacrifice in an effort to make their life better in the long run. The last thing Shae needs is to complicate matters with Tyler, the drummer of the band, not only is she their tour manager but she is also supposed to be focusing on this new opportunity at a better life. When the two strike up a no strings deal it seems like a win win for the both of them, and it is, until feelings get involved. Now Shae has to make a huge choice, take the jump with Tyler or run away.
The author is really starting to evolve; we get some really good drama, and the naughty bits have starting to amp up a bit. I really enjoyed Shae and Tyler’s story, I did have an issue with the kids being with Karl and ignoring the whole bad vibe thing, to me that didn’t fit with someone that had been abused before but that is just my opinion. I give Shae and Tyler 4 stars.
I was so excited to get my hands on this book, because a) I adore a good romance, especially one where the characters have tumultuous pasts and b) I fell in love with the characters in this series and wanted to spend more time with them.
I was definitely rooting for Shae and Tyler from the beginning, and loved the banter (and chemistry!) between them. Shae’s kids were, of course, freakin adorable (especially Cage) and the camaraderie between the band members and their friends was an absolute delight to witness… I mean, read.
I always enjoy Laura John’s books because she does a phenomenal job with her supporting characters and their “side stories” so I wind up completely immersed in the world she creates. I care about EVERYONE and have to remind myself that these are fictional people that I can’t actually hang out with (but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to do just that.)
I can’t wait for the next book in this series– but these do work as stand alone reads, so don’t be afraid to start here!
I don’t really remember how I came upon Laura John but my God her books are full of steam and love. I have absolutely been amazed at this series from the beginning. They put me on a roller coaster I just don’t want to get off of. I could read this book over and over again.
Whispered Desires is the latest installment in Laura John’s Love In Sienna series. I’ve been following the Sienna crew since the start and this book did not disappoint.
Shae is trying to make her own living to support herself and her kids after her marriage breakdown. She heads out on tour with Outspoken Chaos as their manager, trying to find the balance between rocking her new career and being there for her children.
Tyler is the oldest member of Outspoken Chaos and isn’t interested in relationships, especially not if it’s with his band manager. He tries to keep Shae at arms length and even tries to get her kicked off tour, but as he learns more and more about Shae he finds it harder to stay away.
Another winner from Laura John, this one centres around an age gap romance and some drama from their pasts. Definitely looking forward to the next one!
I absolutely love this book I did not want to put it down is an absolute must read it will keep your attention from the very first page to the very last

Laura John is one of those authors that knows how to make her books so realistic. She really touches base on some tough topics but it is what truly makes her books so raw and real.
This is my 4th book by Laura and I swear each time I read a new one, it becomes my new favorite.
Whispered Desires is a remarkable story. Watching Shae transform from the person she was in the beginning to end was really amazing.
Tyler was my favorite character. He comes off cocky and tough but deep down he is a really good guy. Definitely book boyfriend material!
But that is the question Shae has to ask herself. Is he good enough for her and her children? Can she learn to trust him after everything she has been through?
Trust me you will want to pick up a copy to find out!
I also want to add that Laura really puts so much effort in all her characters. I loved all the secondary characters as well. They all stood out and had unique personalities.
I can’t wait to see what Laura John writes next!
This book can be read as a stand alone.
I was given a copy of this book from the author for a fair and honest review.

My heart goes for Whispered Desires. I love this book so much. Laura has created a perfect story that will capture your heart and you won’t be able to let go.
This is the fourth book in the Love in Sienna Series but can read as a stand-alone. Enemy to lovers, age gap, single mother, rockstar romance, trust issues, drama, sexy steamy scenes, beautiful kiddos and amazing characters. What else do you need? This book has everything.
I love Shae so much, she is a strong and fierce with a heart of gold that regardless of her broken past she has become an amazing mother, loving friend and independent woman who is looking for a better future. She is not definitely looking for love but everything changes when Tyler comes into the picture.
Tyler is such an amazing character that I’m completely swoon by his personality and how deep he really feels. If you want a sexy alpha man with a heart that is big as the moon, then you need Tyler in your life.
The chemistry between Tyler and Shae is off the rockets hot and you really don’t want to miss their story.
So YES this book is a must read !!!
This one was incredible! I thought crystal and Dustin’s book was good but this was even better. Just like with crystal, there were a few times when i wanted to smack shea for how she was acting, but then at the same time i completely understood where she was coming from, which was frustrating but it got them to their HEA so i was happy also. And i absolutely cried at the end, happy tears that is. I cant wait for the next book, or i atleast hope there is a next book.
I received a free copy and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
I really enjoyed this book. This was the first book I have read by Laura John but it won’t be my last. I haven’t read the previous three books in the series but it didn’t matter as this was a standalone.
What I enjoyed most about this book was Laura’s writing style, there was no endlessly describing everything like you get in some books, it was all about the story and the characters. It made the story flow really well and I couldn’t put it down.
Shae has gone through a lot in her life and she’s determined to stand on her own two feet, but Tyler is ready to settle down and thinks Shae could be it for him, however Shae keeps pushing him away.
This was a great love story, it felt real as they dealt with every day issues.
This was an awesome enemies to lovers romance and I loved the tension and banter between the two main characters. Tyler, the drummer, is very sweet but he has had his heart broken before and doesn’t want to let anyone in. Falling for his manager who is quite a bit younger, he decides to be an asshole to keep her away. But it’s very hard for him to stay away.
Shae is the manager for the band Tyler drums for and Tyler makes things a little difficult for her with his attitude. She is afraid to give her heart out after becoming divorced due to her husband’s infidelity and she has her children to consider.
It’s fun, sexy, lots of tension and you’re sitting there hoping they will give in. By the way, her hubby had my head ready to burst!
This is a beautiful story full of emotion!! Tyler and Shae have damaged hearts. Shae is recently divorced and only wants to take care of her children. Tyler fell for a woman who only wanted to be friends. They’re both very guarded now and it will take a lot to open their hearts again.
I love this book!! Laura John has so much passion and heart put into this story. She is a new author to me but I enjoy her writing style. There’s so much chemistry with the characters and the banter was awesome. The story will keep you turning pages and wanting more. I will definitely be reading more of her books and waiting for the next!! If you love a great romance you have to read this book!!
This was such an emotional story for Shae and Tyler. It has so many tropes in one and it all just works. I love a single mom story and the way she picks herself up, even if she is young. Tyler tries to push her away and keep his heart intact but the chemistry between them is explosive. I knew it was only a matter of time between it just combusted. I couldn’t put this down.
I always have to prepare myself when I pick up a Laura John book because I know that all of my emotions are going to be tested to the limit. Every book in the Love in Sienna Series has been amazing and this one wasn’t any different. I love how every story humanizes each and every character. Each person has both faults and redeeming qualities and I love falling for each and every one.
I could really see myself in both Shae and Tyler and their insecurities. While they both wanted to move on from their past hurts they had been burned and were still trying to recover from those heartbreaks. Shea and her feisty firecracker attitude was the perfect contrast to the harda$$ Tyler and his tough guy exterior. Their banter was amazing and their passion burned up my kindle. By the end of this book I was swooning hard with a huge grin on my face.
This is a book I did receive an ARC copy from Laura John. This is the first time I have a book by Laura John, but I can honestly say it will not be my last .
Whispered Desires is about love, betrayal, losing oneself and finding yourself again. There is a trigger warning it does have a tiny bit of abusein the story , but it’s only to help you understand Shae’s background.
In the beginning you think Shae is alittle snobbish and closed off. She does have her reasons her husband, Karl cheats on her and she left with her two children. Shae is determined to make it without Karl’s money or help . She moves in with her best friend Crystal. Crystal gets Shae a job as tour manager with Outspoken Chaos. In comes Tyler an older man who is usually in the friend zone. He is controllingand a smartass, but when he loves you he will never will truly let you go.
When Shae and Tyler meet it’s up and down mixed with some sexual tension. You can’t help but root for them . It’s a beautiful friendship turned into something more. Tyler is just what she needs in her life and Shae is what he needs in his.
Laura John knows how to weave an amazing story. Now saying this Tyler did have a childish streak with jealousy. So much that I literally wanted to reach in the book and shake some sense into him.
I think we all need a Tyler in our life and everyone should read this. If you like love, sex romance, friendship and finding yourself then you will love Whispered Desires by Laura John.

I hate to said this because I really loved Secret Smiles, Hidden Kisses, and Guarded Hearts, but this is my favorite story yet from Laura.
Tyler is a sweetheart and the drummer of the band. I was surprise to find out that he had feelings for one of the previous characters. He did not ever acted on those feelings but he still was left heartbroken when all she returned was friendship. He has it bad for Shae but she’s younger than him and his manager. He don’t wants to mess things up with the band or get hurt again so he turns into a jerk where Shae is concern. Messing with her every time he gets the chance.
Shae has just divorced and is trying to start over. She wants to be able to provide for her kids and knows it won’t be easy. She dedicated 6 years of her life to her husband only to find out he’s been cheating on her for God only knows how long. She has trusting issues and is working on them.
She’s the new manager of the band and the members are happy with her, well all except Tyler.
Can they learn to trust and heal each other?
Is Tyler ready to fight for Shae and her kiddos?
Is Shae ready to give Tyler a chance with her heart and children?
Karl, the ex husband, had me boiling my blood to dangerous levels. Laura how do you do it?
He should have not ever be a father. I’m wondering what became of him? You know with the ultimatum from his parents.
This was my first book by Laura John and I would say it took a while for me to get accustomise to her writing. Whispered Desires is an enemies to lovers, age gap love story.
Shae is a young single mother and her world turns upside down when she caught her husband cheating.
Tyler is much older than her and a successful drummer. Both were attracted to each other but both have lots of reservations…
There is funny banter, friendship, emotion and romance throughout the whole book. A good, enjoyable read!

Whispered Desires is an enemies to lovers romance that can easily be read as a standalone or as the fourth book in the Love in Sienna series. Shae is starting a new life as a single mother after finding her husband cheating on her. She is now determined to prove that she is worth something and can make a life for her and her children as the new manager of Outspoken Chaos. Tyler, the drummer, has other plans. He is determined to make Shae hate him instead of let history repeat itself. There is lots of tension, banter and emotion throughout this whole book. Laura John really has a way of making you feel for and grow with every one of her characters. This series just keeps growing and I am looking forward to more books by her in the future.

“This was my first book of Laura and I must said that I loved it. I had the honor to received an ARC of Whispered Desires and Shae and Tyler’s story left me speechless. It was so sweet and romantic. Shae’s situation broke my heart. First being a single mom at 22! OMG that’s something to be scared off! I mean I’m almost 25 and just the thought of babies scare the h** out of me but anyway. Then she had her frustrating and so annoying ex husband. Things went better when she got a manager roll in a band. Soon after she met Tyler and let me tell you he was a lovely complicated soul. He tried to fight his feelings and things didn’t end up as he hope so. Their chemistry was beautiful and I absolutely enjoyed their story. I’m looking forward for Laura’s upcoming books. A must read!”
