When one knows he’s about to die, he just takes what he can to make the remaining days the best. Erol knows his time is ticking away. In the outside, he’s brimming with energy, kindness, and good-natured wit. He doesn’t need anybody to know in a few months he’s never coming back. A man with an emptying hour-glass for a heart as himself, he’s accepted that not all things in his to-do list will ever be accomplished. Hart is a dead man living in a monotonous life. One previous heartbreak is enough for a lifetime. When Hart walks in to find his new temporary assistant in the name of Erol to be everything he dislikes, he makes it hard for the young man to follow with the job. The kid adores a rock singer he hates. The kid is too colorful it hurts his eyes. It’s like the kid’s there to challenge everything he could live without. Hart is sucking it up, what’s three months in the contract anyway? Little do they know, the three months timeline is long enough to weave fantasies. A timeline which is also too short for two men finding themselves wanting to live more than ever. Together.

It's so easy to write a review when you immediately fall in love with a book. It's also easy to write one when you really didn't like it at all. It is terribly difficult however to write a review when the book had a lot of good going for it but also a lot that made it difficult to like or get through. And that's unfortunately the situation I'm stuck in. I received an advanced readers copy of The Loudest Whisper in exchange for an honest review and whereas I want to encourage and support the author I also have an obligation to let readers who may be of a similar reading mindset as to myself, know why it didn't work for me.I jumped at the opportunity to read this because I loved the synopsis. I wanted to feel the feels. And I did feel things. Not all intended though. If I'm wrong I ask forgiveness, but the way this book was written, it came off to me that English is not the authors first language. I'm in the US and I've read and usually enjoy books written from authors in the UK, Australia, Norway, etc, but aside from a few minor differences, those books haven't been that dissimilar to a US native author. Unfortunately to me the writing and phrasing in this book is very awkward. It was kind of difficult to get through and trying to wade through that awkwardness greatly took away from what was a good story. I was frustrated. Bored. Confused. I thought about giving up a few times, but I did persist and honestly I'm glad I persisted and finished the story. But not only was the writing style hard for me to get through, I just didn't fall in love. Especially with Hart. Even though he had a sad backstory and explanation for his behavior and he did warm up to Erol of course because they fall in love, I never really came around to liking him. I did like Erol and his positive outlook and quirkiness. He was a great guy. Unfortunately, **********spoiler********** this book is not an HEA. So I came to care about him only to lose him*************** The end was nicely done even if not what I for whatever reason had expected. The book has a great message. There are actually a lot of things going for this book but the way it was written just made it very difficult for me to read and like.
I'm at a loss for how to rate this. Two or three stars. I guess what it boils down to for me and perhaps for you also as a reader is how would I feel if I spent money on this? Because of that, honesty compels me to go with two and half stars. I really liked the idea. I liked the way the end was written. I did feel the feels I was supposed to in the places I was supposed to. It's just that I didn't feel as deeply as I would have because of my frustration and confusion from the writing. I was sad because of events themselves, not because the writing evoked it from me. So had I spent money on this I would have been upset and I would have given up on it. I strongly suggest reading a sample first. Perhaps I'm just missing something that others are not because there are positive reviews. I think the author should keep telling her stories, but perhaps get an editor to help with style and phrasing.

The Loudest Whisper Dakila Reed Books Reviews
The Loudest Whisper
The book was amazing to read, a book that made me cry my eyes out (almost at work). The author just captures these characters so beautifully. It makes sense that one suffering from a terminal illness since childhood would remain childish since he never really got to grow up. Erol's hopefulness was infectious as well as his sweet and innocent personality. And Hart, he was really how a man who lost his partner should be, especially how cautious he was, I couldn't blame him! And honestly even though you know how this book is going to end, you truly don't know until this author spins it. I'm a huge fan of dirty, raunchy m/m but this is the most toe-curling sweet, romantic, and heart felt book I have ever read. I've lost a lot of family within the last few years and I am now the caregiver of my mom with kidney failure and it is scary but books like this is what pulls people through it! Seriously, read this book!
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
3.5 stars
I was a little skeptical when I first read the blurb for this book. However, I'm glad I took a chance and read it! This is a beautiful story about a man who wants to live life to the fullest and experience everything he can in the short time he has left on earth. Erol was an absolutely delightful character. He was exuberant and patient and everything many of us aspire to be. Hart, on the other hand, is a man who has been hurt and finds it difficult to move past the pain he's kept in his heart for so long. Even though their initial interactions made me want to reach through my and strangle Hart, I enjoyed the slow progression of the friendship he developed with Erol.
Unfortunately, there were quite a few editing errors in this book, which is a shame because they distracted from an otherwise lovely story. Erol calling Hart "Boss" and "Boss H" irked me a bit, but I won't hold that against the book. That particular aspect just wasn't my cup of tea.
All in all, this is a lovely story that will warm your heart and inspire your soul.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
I'm going to start by saying this would have got 4 stars if the author had published after spelling and grammar had been checked fully. This wasn't just the odd word it was all over the book. Even though this was an advanced copy you expect more. Hopefully by the time it was published these mistakes were sorted. And the star drop is because the errors took away the reading pleasure.
This is a sad book all the way to the end I was hoping for some miracle but it didn't happen. Errol was always looking for the bright side and Harp just existed. They drew the best out of each other and even to the end Errol made Harp smile even if reluctantly.
I enjoyed the story and the characters were strong and well written and rounded. The secondary characters helped build the story an didn't detract.
It is the first book I've read by this author but I will be looking out for more.
Okay. Let me start by saying this book hit me right in the feels, like an emotional gut punch but I knew that going in so I was ready for it. I liked Erol and Hart definitely grew on me by the end. So why only three stars? A couple of reasons. One, and I don't usually drop for this, but the editing was awful. Grammatically it was all over the place. And inconsistencies too-within one paragraph Hart was talking about proposing to his boyfriend Carley and then he's on the phone with his brother who says he's 'here with your fiancé ' Um, wouldn't you freak out for letting the cat out of the bag? Nope. Didn't happen.
Another reason for the drop was what the author chose as Erol's disease. There's been so much advancement in the treatment of it that death rarely happens anymore. It just made it unbelievable.
But with a good editor and a little more research this could definitely be a four star story.
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
