Heart felt master piece
The emotions are strong enough to have you tear up at times. I truly loved this story. I couldn't help but read this in one day putting it down seemed wrong.

Description
Solo and Janie’s life in the heart of the Windy City is defined by the beautiful, chaotic rhythm of raising eighteen-month-old triplets. But that rhythm shatters in a single morning when Janie walks out the door, leaving behind a baffled, heartbroken Solo. Desperate and exhausted, Solo is determined to pull her family back together, but she’s fighting against a wall of silence; Janie refuses to voice the reasons for her departure, leaving Solo to navigate the wreckage of their marriage alone.
Janie’s retreat wasn't born of a cold heart, but a desperate need to protect the life she loves. Burdened by a dangerous secret and the sudden, predatory reappearance of her estranged mother—who is circling for a cut of the children’s inheritance and a chance at custody—Janie realizes that silence has become her greatest liability. To survive the looming legal and emotional onslaught, she must finally confront the fears she’s been shouldering in isolation.
Caught between the ruins of their past and a precarious future, Solo and Janie must decide if their enduring love is strong enough to pierce through years of pride and pain. In this high-stakes second-chance romance, the journey back to each other is the only way to save the family they built together.

Sad start that unfolds into a real gem - tons of emtion
Unspoken begins slowly with a sad start, then unfolds into a real gem as a family reconnects and heals. Hannah (nickname Solo) and Janie are busy career women and the mothers of 18-month-old triplets. The story, delicately and with tons of emotion, follows Solo and Janie as they piece back their relationship and come out stronger together. The cast of secondary characters is a lovely story of chosen family that supports them. I have to admit, because of my own traumatic past, Solo’s dad and Janie’s older friend, Maria, were my favorite secondary characters. I wished I’d had a family like them.
Since the legalization of same-sex marriage in the US, more folks in our LGBTQIA+ community are choosing to have children. Unspoken is a novel that rings true with real problems that can plague some families, and their journey back to love. I highly recommend Unspoken.

A beautiful story you don't want to miss
This is a beautifully written story. The struggles of both Janie and Solo throughout are articulated extremely well and it's was very easy for me to connect with them. This hit on so many emotions and experiences that many women go through. Not just the PPD but also limited or seemingly no support system they feel they can trust to be honest and vulnerable. It's an honest, raw, realistic story and if you want something that will make you feel a range of emotions, you need to pick this up.

Great Story of Love and Redemption
This is my third Windy City romance and I believe the best of the trio I have read. The main characters are strong, but highly vulnerable, the story was compelling and dealt with topics rarely talked about in books, and had a host of secondary characters that added mightily to the story. Hannah and Janie seemed like the perfect couple, loving and strong. They have triplets that consume their lives in Joy. But there are cracks and Janie breaks first. A well written story full of drama, heartache, secrets and redemption. This can be read as a standalone book without reading the previous stories but it does give you more context into the characters. I highly recommend this book if you love sapphic literature and even if you are just looking for a female centric book. You won’t be disappointed.

Marriage & Sometimes Problems
This book portrays events that are occurring in everyday life and once again she highlights events that can affect anyone. Lack of confidence in ones self, and guilt set the tone of this book.
Once again, we are joined with the group of service members that own the garage. The MC’s in this book are Janie and Hannah (Solo)
Janie is carrying a guilt that forces her to choose leaving the triplets and Solo and trying to work things out on her own. As a result, Solo feels she is the reason for Janie leaving. Janie meets an older woman, quite by accident, who becomes a major influence in her life and her attitude.
Follow the trials that Janie & Solo go through with this challenge of life and the problems faced especially with Janie’s mother and how they are either resolved or not. No spoilers, you will have to read the book to find out. You don’t want to miss this book in the Windy City series!
I received an ARC from the author.
