Silas Spencer has been able to speak to
“displaced souls” since he was a child. Needless to say,
most men don’t believe in his ability, and every lover he’s
told has thought he was lying or crazy. He has one
wonderful night with Josh Dalton, but Josh tells him they
can never be together. When they end up coworkers, Silas is
determined to avoid Josh. Then the spirit of Josh’s mother
shows up, asking Silas for help. Will Silas’s intervention
lead to love or a broken heart?
What Matters Most had a lot of things going
for it. Silas’s ability was interesting, and I liked his
commitment to helping others. Josh’s horrific past made him
a very sympathetic character as well. The emotion between
them was sweet. The problem I had with What Matters
Most was how fast everything happened. Silas and
Josh had an almost love-at-first-sight type of connection,
which felt unrealistic to me. That, combined with some
stilted dialogue and quite a few annoying editing errors,
made What Matters Most less enjoyable than I’d
hoped. I liked the story, but I felt like it could have
been even better. Even so, Lisa Marie Davis has caught my
attention, and I’ll be checking out some of her future
works. |
