Olivia Aberdeen, destitute widow of a murdered carpetbagger, gratefully accepts an invitation from “Aunt” Elizabeth Harding, mistress of Belle Meade Plantation and the dearest friend of Olivia’s late mother. Expecting to be the Harding’s housekeeper, Olivia is disillusioned once again when she learns the real reason why Elizabeth’s husband, Confederate General William Giles Harding, agreed to her coming. Caring for an ill Aunt Elizabeth, Olivia is caught off guard by her feelings for Ridley Adam Cooper, a southern-born son who—unbeknownst to her and everyone else—fought for the Union.

Determined to learn “the gift” that Belle Meade’s head horse trainer, Bob Green, possesses, Ridley is a man desperate to end the war still raging inside him while harboring secrets that threaten his life. As Ridley seeks to make peace within himself for “betraying” the South he loved, Olivia is determined to never be betrayed again.…

Set within the remarkable history of Nashville’s historic Belle Meade Plantation, comes a story about enslavement and freedom, arrogance and humility, and the power of love to heal even the deepest of wounds.

Enjoyed learning history as I read romance

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

Whatever the time, I always learn while reading historical fiction. This novel got me thinking about several different issues. I hadn’t realized that the Irish were persecuted in the south along with the freed Negroes so learning this was eye opening. I also found it interesting to read a story from the perspective of an arranged marriage from both the bride and groom’s point of views. My heart went out to little brave Kizzy, a former slave, who must decide if she’ll live her dream or succumb to her fears of a white bully. Maggie has to wrestle with her own fears of losing her dream and overcoming prejudices/sheltered living and shame caused by her circumstances. Cullen, with his secrets, struggles with sharing the truth in the face of losing everything. Weaving in actual Nashville history and people into the novel is another aspect that attracts me to it.

Tensions are high in this novel, especially between the hero and heroine, but also with the Ku Klux Klan spreading terror. The sizzling chemistry was tastefully written. I always enjoy watching characters fall in love and overcome obstacles. In Christian fiction, I savor how God is intertwined in the story and how the characters grow in their faith. I appreciate how Alexander wove this naturally throughout the story.

Another touching part of this love story is the love and respect that Maggie and Cullen each felt for Maggie’s father. Cullen’s determination to live up to his promises is an endearing trait.

I really enjoyed this novel.

Belle Meade

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2017

Following the War Between the States, Lt. Ridley Cooper arrives at Belle Meade Plantation with a plan. He would learn everything there was to know about horses and be gone in 6 weeks--2 months at the most. On the same day that he arrived, Olivia Aberdeen, widow of a traitor to the South (who had been shot, dragged through the streets of Nashville, & hung for all to see what happens to traitors) arrived at Belle Meade to be a companion to the owner's wife. Struggling to shed the stench from her husband's evil deeds that Nashville society attached to her as well, Olivia takes on the additional job of accountant for the plantation. Meantime, Ridley Cooper has realized there is no way he can learn everything in so short a time. He becomes a valued employee of Gen. Harding, who convinces him to stay for a year. Woven into the story are Seabird, a thoroughbred mare, her colt Dauntless, Uncle Bob (head hostler at Belle Meade), a freedman's school, and a glimpse of the Klan. My only disappointment was that the Klansmen were not unmasked, although I have my suspicions as to their identity. I got book 2 in this series either free or at a very reduced price. When I saw it was the second in the series, I had to buy book 1. I'm so glad I did. I seldom give a 5 star ranking but this is a book that deserves it. I highly recommend it. A touch of history, a touch of hidden secrets, a touch of romance, a hint of more to come. Excellent.

A Southern Belle and Soldier with Union Leanings are in for the Ride of Their Lives...

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

Olivia Aberdeen was a respected member of Nashville society, until her unscrupulous husband was hanged as a traitor to the Union during the Civil War. Olivia doesn't grieve Charles. He was condescending and abusive, and their marriage was completely arranged. However, she does grieve her new position as an outcast. With nowhere to go, she flees into the open arms of Aunt Elizabeth, her deceased mother's best friend. The problem is, Elizabeth and her Confederate general husband live on Belle Meade, Nashville's premier horse farm--and Olivia is terrified of horses. Even worse, Ridley Cooper, a new staff member at Belle Meade, is doing strange and not entirely unwelcome things to her heart.

Olivia and Ridley caught and kept my attention immediately, because they are well-rounded characters. She's a mix of Southern propriety and independence, trepidation and determination. He's a Southern son who fought for the Union in order to stand against slavery. Still dealing with the trauma of being a prisoner at Andersonville, he can nevertheless be stubborn, high-handed, and anything but a victim. When Olivia and Ridley are constantly thrown together, sparks fly like you wouldn't believe. Eventually though, they settle into a warm relationship full of banter that's fun to watch. You know each one is what the other needs, so you root tirelessly for them to be together, despite conventions of the time period dictating Olivia must marry for convenience and money.

Olivia and Ridley's relationship makes for a multifaceted plot full of the little incidents and scenes that make up the lives of real people. When Olivia's feet get horribly blistered from walking around Belle Meade in unsuitable shoes, Ridley washes them and gets her to a healer. When Ridley finally tells Olivia his secrets, she's understandably frustrated and confused, but eventually sets aside her past prejudices to accept who he is and what he stands for. The two cement their relationship in unique ways, such as through a dance at a servants' party and systematic desensitization of Olivia's equine phobia.

As noted, the secondary characters and plots are great as well. Olivia's position as teacher in a freedmen's school was one of my favorites; I wanted to see more of that. I also would've liked to see a little more about how Ridley came to fight for the Union, how he coped at Andersonville, and how he dealt with post-traumatic stress. Again, I love that he was never a victim, but I feel slight shading in these areas would have given him a softer side.

The book seems too long and drawn out in places, and at times, it feels the characters are doing too much and experiencing too many stakes. For instance, even though I loved Olivia's determination to teach, I wondered if she needed to deal with it on top of overcoming what Charles put her through. However, I can safely recommend this book, especially if you like a sweeping Civil War novel or are partial to horse stories.

Some whispers are meant to be heard

What a thoroughly good read. Fantastic characterisation with wonderful people who draw you into their lives.
All the way through the tale you are expecting Ridley's secret to come out and are fearful of the consequences. It's heart-breaking that such a war ever happened but that it turned brother against brother , father against son was awful. Ridley had and still has his reasons for his actions and they are commendable for without men like him those dark attitudes would still be prevalent. To some he would be a traitor to more he would be a hero. The author really makes you feel each characters turmoil and you can't help but sympathise and empathise with their Dilemmas, even The General gains your respect. Uncle Bob is the father figure you have ever dreamed of having with his gentle and encouraging ways. Thoroughly entertaining though the underlying serious subject of slavery war and destruction is not lost either

Wonderfully-written

I loved this story! Two wounded people are thrown together and slowly learn to trust each other. It was wonderful to watch the unfolding of issues and the satisfying resolutions. The main characters were so well-drawn I couldn't help but feel what they were feeling as they experienced life. I found my emotions stirred, at times finding myself laughing out loud and other times shedding tears (and I don't normally do that as strongly as I did with this book). I love a book that makes it hard for me to stop reading, and To Whisper Her Name does this in spades!

Absolutely lovely!

I don't read books very often but when I do, generally they're by Tamera Alexander. I find her reading so beautiful and the characters so real. Ridley has held my heart from the first minute I met him. He is charming, witty, quick, and not afraid to say what he feels, while Olivia is exactly the opposite - or at least, so she thinks. He slowly begins to give her the confidence she desperately needs to step out of her comfort zone and be herself. It's such a beautiful love story and it will stay with you long after the final page! I've already recommended it to many people and will continue to!

Excellent Story

Reviewed in Canada on March 17, 2014

I was captivated with this new book from Tamara, I have read all her books and have never once felt disappointed nor have ever once been able to put down her books. I loved the story and how it all entwined together, the characters were so real and very likeable and dislikable. The end was perfectly orchestrated and although kinda predictable it still kept me wondering what was going to happen right to the end. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.
