My Review
I loved everything about this book. It was amazing!!!! Marion crafted a story so unlike others that it immediately grabbed my attention and wouldn't let go. Oxford Whispers was well though out and well developed. I enjoyed how the author switched from past to present. Sometimes it isn't written well and I can't stay focused, but that didn't happen with this book. I couldn't wait to read those parts. The story was written beautifully. I was drawn into the story and was able to see what the characters saw,, feel what they felt.
I loved Madison as a character. While trying to run from what she is suppose to come, she ends up in place where it started confronting it head on. What can I say about Rupert. I thing the only two words I can think of are gorgeous and sexy!!! I couldn't wait to read the scenes with him in it. He i=was my favorite character. I loved the swoon-worthy scenes. I am a huge romance junkie so that made the book even better for me. I definitely want some more Rupert and Madison time.
Oxford Whispers was full of romance, suspense and mystery. There wasn't anything about this book I didn't like. I was able to read this book in one sitting. Like I said, once I started, I couldn't put it down. I am hoping that there will be a book 2. Please let there be a sequel!!! I recommend this book to anyone who wants a great romance with a book full of magic, mystery and secrets. This is a book that I will definitely reread.
Have to point out that the cover is just gorgeous!!! I love book covers!!!!

to find the book:
In addition to being an author, I work as an
entrepreneur, wife and mother-of-one but spend a good deal of time with books,
DVDs and listening to my mp3 player; all for the sake of inspiration, of
course.
My debut series, The Oxford Trilogy, has been a blast to write because I can indulge in my favorite types of music: Country and English rock.
My main goal as a writer is to make readers dream bigger and cause their hearts to beat a little faster.
Since my writing is all about sharing dreams and stories, I love connecting with fellow readers and authors.
