Voices Carry (Stowaway Book 1) by Alison Rhymes
Genre: Small Town Romance
Publication date: June 28, 2026
The shores of Stowaway, Oregon, have been a safe harbor for many over the years. Louisa Moreno hopes it will be hers, as well.
Coming from nothing, she quickly found herself living a life of luxury, decadence, fame, and things no woman wants to find herself in front of. Now, years later, she’s fleeing that life. Hiding out in a last-ditch effort to save herself.
What she finds will change her forever.
Grady Steele came home to Stowaway to rebuild his life after a bitter divorce. He keeps his head focused on a single goal – putting his daughter first. Not much else matters.
Until a mysterious, bruised and broken woman shows up next door and reminds him of what he could have.
And what he could lose.
With their combined baggage threatening to sink them to the ocean floor, they’ll both need to learn to trust if they ever wish to love again.
This was such an emotional filled ride. Will you be crying 85% of the book? Highly likely. I was not prepared to become so attached to these characters. Not all of them though. You’ll know once you read the book. The chemistry and connection between Lou and Grady was phenomenal! The story itself was a healing journey in ways I can’t properly convey. I now have a huge book hangover and a strong need to find Stowaway.
If you’re a fan of second chances and stories that make you feel, I highly recommend this book. I also recommend having tissues and a cozy blanket near you. You will need it. I give this 5 stars.
