The Voice We Find (#03 in Fog Harbor Romance Series)

This contemporary romance novel offers a unique point of view. The growth in each character is heart warming. It blends ASL, acting, surfing, music and family traumas. The side plots are also worthy and I do hope we get to learn about more of these characters in other novels in the Fog Harbor series.

I enjoyed reading The Voice We Find, the third book in Nicole Deese’s Fog Harbor Romance series. August is a sound engineer who moved back to his childhood home in California wine country two years ago to care for his sister, Gabby. He’s now the guardian of sixteen-year-old Gabby, who his late parents adopted from Colombia when she was six. Their parents tragically passed away in an accident in India during a mission trip. Gabby is living with significant hearing loss from the head trauma she suffered in the accident.

Sophie was only eighteen when she left behind the family winery built by her beloved late maternal grandmother to pursue a theatre career in New York. Sophie’s controlling father didn’t approve of her career choice, and she’s effectively estranged from her parents, older brother, and sister-in-law. Eight years later, Sophie’s Broadway career is over and her dire financial situation forces her to return to California with her elderly cat, Phantom, and work at the family winery. Her brother and sister-in-law provide accommodation at the winery in their pool house that’s next to a noisy construction site.

August’s best friend Chip, from Fog Harbor Books, offers August an opportunity to produce audiobooks. Sophie applies for voice acting work with Chip’s company. I loved Sophie and August’s meet cute at his sound recording studio and how they end up working together on projects for Chip.

Sophie bonds with Gabby, who is instrumental in Sophie rediscovering her…
