Ever since he was a child, Silas Spencer has been able to see and speak with spirits. His grandfather, however, was the only one who ever believed him and didn’t call him crazy. Now he’s grown and uses his ability to help misguided spirits, usually by getting messages to loved ones via anonymous calls or mail. Three years ago, Silas had a fling with Josh Dalton, but Josh walked out before it could be anything more than a one-night-stand.
When a new co-worker shows up, Silas can’t believe it’s Josh. Josh, however, has a lot to hide, and it isn’t until his recently-deceased mother visits that Silas finds out why. Can Silas help Sarah Dalton’s spirit move on, by way of helping Josh? Or will it all be too much for any of them to handle?
What Matters Most is an emotional romance with touches of tenderness, bittersweetness, and terrifying memories all rolled into one. The characters are endearing, though I really found myself drawn to Josh’s mother Sarah. Her heartbreak over the events in Josh’s life left me tearing up more than once.
The love between Silas and Josh is sweet and real, and I’m glad they didn’t rush into it. The secrets they each held nearly destroyed them, but in the end, those same things drew them together.
If you’re looking for a satisfying, emotional romance with drama (but not enough that you start growing tired of it), then give What Matters Most a try.
