"What a great way to end the series!!! I have loved Drum and Sage from the very beginning and hoped that they would get their own book someday. I made sure to read this one really slowly because I don't want the series to be over yet. These characters feel like family members to me. Thank you Jodi for this wonderful series!!!"

— Night Owl Romance“The queen of Texas romance does it again, sweeping readers back to Whispering Mountain for another tale rife with drama, action, and passion. No one makes Texas seem more exciting, romantic, and alive than Thomas. Here’s a surefire hit for Western fans to savor.”
— RT Book Reviews (4.5 stars)" Finally I got Sage's story and it was well worth the wait. Ms Thomas creates characters that are like old friends. Sage and Drummond's love story sizzled and blossomed into one that completely stole my heart. Ms Thomas is truly a gifted storyteller. "
— Linda, 2/10/2014" This was an absolutely wonderful book. I enjoyed the banter between the main characters and the love and devotion of the family. Ms. Thomas has a way with romance. "
— Linda, 2/1/2014" what I read was ok... nothing great though. "
— Sandy, 12/27/2013" Nicely finishes off the Whispering Mountain Series. Jodi does a wonderful job once again! "
— Wendy, 12/1/2013" I love Jodi Thomas. She doesn't write like a lot of my favorite writers do but I just love her stories anyway. "
— Debbie, 11/24/2013" The book was well written with a great story. A young man has grown up into a Texas Ranger. A young lady has returned as a widow to Texas and plans to open a medical clinic. She sees him as a remembered pest from her childhood but he finally convinces her that he loves her totally. "
— Linda, 10/2/2013" Saya suka interaksi main couple Sage-Drum di novel ini yang playful ala jinak-jinak merpati. Interaksi pasangan Bradford-Bonnie yang hangat dan bikin geregetan. Dan banyak banget momen-momen lucu yang menyenangkan buat dibaca ulang. So far, buku ini yang paling menarik dari series ini. "
— Bunga, 9/30/2013" What can I say.. Luv Luv it. Jodi Thomas is the best, "
— Debbie, 9/2/2013" This is the 4th in the Whispering Mountain series....about Sage McMurray and Drum. It has always been apparent that Drum was crazy about Sage, but I never thought the author showed that same felling in Sage. I liked the book but the flow of the story was uneven. "
— Pat, 5/12/2013" just a few typos, but overall excellent! wish there would've been an epilogue though. "
— Alana, 1/3/2013" Good. I'm sure that this is the later book of a series. "
— Robin, 10/17/2012" I like this series, but it's a little disappointing how quickly the women go from head-strong, stubborn spit-fires to gushing little twinkies. "
— Michele, 10/8/2012" Fist book by her I read. It was good but some of her other books are better. "
— Kade, 6/9/2012" Again this is a fun brain candy read, I like Jodi Thomas and am rarely disappointed in her stories. "
— Ginger, 2/27/2012" I loved the interaction between these two. Drummond's need and devotion to Sage was amazing. The "mystery" or suspense was resolved a little too neatly & too quickly, but I loved the secondary romance between Bonnie & Brad. "
— Michelle, 10/12/2011" Jodi brings her characters to life. A true inspiration for new writers. "
— Stephy, 3/20/2011" Oh my, finally a western that catches my complete attention. I'm only half way through the book but I can't seem to put it down. Stayed up way to late last night reading. "
— Jan, 1/18/2011" Great last story of the series. the love story between Roark and Sage. <br/> <br/>Both strong willed and powerful finally fall in love amidst some trying and dangerous times. Roarke is one of those men I wish still existed in this day and age :) a true hero. "
— Mia, 12/14/2010" Jodi brings her characters to life. A true inspiration for new writers. "
