Silent Grief: To New Beginnings is a contemporary romance novel by Deborah Adele. Arya Alexander moved from her home in Redfield to Bellemere in the hopes of leaving the pain of her past behind. After she lost her father, a brother, and her husband in a terrible accident, Arya just couldn't stay home, much to the chagrin of her mother and sister. However, a chance encounter at the airport with a stranger causes her to open her heart once more. Jacob Ryan is a real estate agent who can't get the girl from the airport out of his mind. Unexpectedly, Arya's new job leads her to run straight into the man visiting her dreams. Can Arya and Jacob move past their broken hearts? Will they give in to their feelings?

Silent Grief: To New Beginnings is a story about a second chance at love. If you're a fan of hot, steamy romance that also has immersive family drama, this is just the book for you. Deborah Adele has spun an absorbing, character-driven tale that has its hooks in you from beginning to end. I felt the author paced the plot brilliantly, leaving room for the characters to breathe and express their personalities to their fullest. Arya, to me, was the most interesting character. Her backstory makes her easy to root for, and I found her chemistry with Jacob absolutely fascinating. The narrative also has a couple of twists and turns that I'm sure will take readers by surprise. All in all, this is tailor-made for readers of contemporary romance. I really enjoyed it, and so should you.
