A review by ab18
Eloquent Silence by Sandra Brown
2.0
The two stars are for the wonderful insight into the deaf community and the way the hearing can relate to people with this handicap.
Both main characters were awful, in my opinion. Drake never conveys any of his real feelings until the end for absolutely no reason. I’m used to Ms. Brown’s characters having more depth and eloquence. If I want flat heroes I could read a Sara Craven novel. I also am not a fan of the stand alone mustache.
Lauri has waaaay too many scenes where she stamps her foot in anger. That isn’t acceptable for anyone over the age of five. I applauded her withholding herself from Drake when she thought all he wanted was a physical relationship. She does a great job of telling herself she’s worth more than that.. only to fall into bed with him in the next scene. What just happened?
Maybe I am just too old for stories that attempt to convey how much the couple loves each other by showing multiple sex scenes. Love is so much more than physical desire.
