*~* Synopsis *~*

This is a stand alone novella that is part of The Washington Triplet Novellas:

The Quiet One

Mikaela Washington, the middle Triplet, has always been labeled the quiet one. Her parents claim her as the introvert or just shy. Of course she was, what other role could she take? All the others had been fulfilled.

Going away to college with her sisters was always the plan until unforeseen circumstances push Mikaela into a dark corner she can’t get out of. Her sisters think she’s just being more unusual than normal and her dad barely notices. The only person she can trust and confide in is her mom. 

She stays back and lives at home with her parents. These years are difficult, but she manages to find a career and go to therapy. During this time she learns her family home is not what it seems. She sees and hears things that her sisters know nothing about. Then when her mom suddenly dies she’s left to deal with not only her tragedy, but also the secrets of her family. 
Finally Mikaela realizes it’s time… time to move on, live on her own like her sisters and try to start new. When she moves to California she finds the job of her dreams and the man of her dreams attached to it… Ryan Chambers.

*~* My Review *~*

What a wonderful finish to this series. Melissa couldn't have done a better job wrapping it up.

Mikaela is such a great character. You want her to be more boisterous but that's just not Mikaela, she is so strong yet meek at the same time. Having so much hiding in her past she is left keeping those secrets and her very self in the past. I loved Mikaela because she fought with her demons but wouldn't let them win. I really loved watching her transform..


Ryan is OMG wonderful. You fall for him from the beginning of the book and just keep falling. He is such a great independent man. He's also loving, understanding, caring and sooooo romantic. I absolutely loved his character and how wonderful he was with Mikaela. Never pushing her too hard or making her feel guilty for not sharing her past makes him a ten in my book!!

The way this book unfolds is just pure beauty. There was so much that had to be revealed in this one and Melissa did such a great job doing so. Five beautiful, sparkly, Washington stars have been granted :)
