Words of Silk
4 Stars

A chance encounter in an elevator during a blackout changes the lives of two very different people. Naive kindergarten teacher, Laney McLeod and sexy and savvy attorney, Deke Sargeant, are complete strangers yet their intense attraction and its consequences bring them together, and they must decide if what they have is worth fighting for.

This is one of Brown's earlier works and while some elements are dated others still ring true even 30 years later.

While Laney and Deke have incredible chemistry, he is excessively domineering and overbearing, which is not surprising for an 80s romance but incongruent with 21st-century values of equality between the sexes. Nevertheless, Laney does stand up for herself and Deke ultimately recognizes that she has a right to make decisions for herself.

Overall, this is a well-written, relatively angst-free, and entertaining read. ( )

I have read several of Sandra Brown novels. And I already knew that I didn't enjoy her first romance stories. I hadn't realized before I bought it that this book was originally published in the 80's.
So It is outdated but it is also a weird plot. The author has matured a lot since she wrote this and I wished she had revised this one to improve it.
I can't even go into details without spoiling to enumerate the absurdities of this story. I just don't feel like going into details but unless you like cheesy and easy read romance plot with a twisted almost creepy and irrational story, do yourself a favor and skip this one. You will not lose anything and you will not damage Sandra image in your eyes. ( )

Typical contemporary Brown. The characters make or break her books. ( )

I can't understand why everyone disliked this book...I thought it was a cute, quick read. It is quite dated (Brassiere and manhood!), but I thought it flowed OK. ( )
