“Sir?” Connor’s one-word question cut through the noise like a lifeline. A ray of sunshine that sliced through the tempest-tossed sea of chaos threatening to drown Theo.

This. Book.
Red, White & Royal Blue is my favorite book, so when Jay described Whisper into the Night as RWRB meets the bodyguard, I knew I had to read it. And let me tell you, this book single handedly cured my three month long reading slump.
Leigh drops you into a world of political intrigue and romance that immediately grabs your attention and doesn’t let go until the last page. Between the expertly developed characters, fresh takes on storytelling, and unexpected political twists and turns, I spent too many nights in a row staying up far too late because I was unable to stop reading. The relationship between Theo and Connor is both hot and tender. The multiple POVs, which I initially thought would be too daunting, end up creating a rich world in a way I could have never expected.
Reading Whisper into the Night gave me the same feeling I get when I reread a comfort read for the nth time. Despite never having met the characters before, they felt familiar and safe. Theo and Connor are obviously the stars of the show, but I loved every member of the Rainbow Brigade, and I can’t wait to see them again in book 2.
