This is a wonderful story for the romantic at heart. Words of Silk is packed with non-stop romance, relationship conflicts and some very steamy love scenes. I am a new Sandra Brown reader and I've enjoyed the plot and charcters tremendously. For those of you who believe in love at first sight, this is the book for you.
Wonderful..........

I truly enjoy Sandra Brown books. I am not suprise she made the jump to fiction/thriller books. Though this book is a romance book, her characters have very strong personalities and extremly real. Yes the chances of meeting a Deke Sargent who is a lawyer and having a one night stand and falling in love is very slim. I still could feel the chemistry between these two characters right from the opening of the first few words in this book. Laney finds herself in an elevator with an handsome stranger. Not long after being in there, a black out happens and they are stuck. Deke(the hero) tries to comfort her because she is claustraphobic. Eventually the lights come back on but she is extremly traumatize. He takes her to his apartment to revive her. This invite turn out to be more than just reviving her but a hot making out scene where they end up in bed. In the morning she accuses him of rape because he gave her wine which made her drunk. He told her she wanted him just as much. She ended up sneaking out of his apartment without his knowledge. Finally he tracks her down and finds out she is pregnant. The rest of the books bascially deals with her insecurities and doubt of his love. Great romance book. It makes you want to read it over and over again.

This book is totally enjoyable if you like romance. Sandra Brown wrote a wonderful love story that I personally wanted to hear more about these characters. I was not ready for the book to end and may write her to ask that she continue with these characters.
