Book Description

Laney McLeod's life changes the minute she finds herself stuck in a high-rise elevator in Manhattan. Fighting her rising panic, she relies on a handsome stranger to help overcome her claustrophobia. The man, Deke Sargent, is just as attracted to this beautiful and vulnerable woman as she is to him.

When the power comes back on, Deke and Laney find themselves in a passionate embrace that soon leads to a night of love in his apartment. Shocked at her own brazenness, Laney disappears the next morning. Months later, she receives an even greater shock: Deke shows up with an astounding announcement.

Unable to forget the chemistry between them, but afraid that she's just another notch on this wealthy playboy's bedpost, Laney is about to discover that her resistance to Deke hides an even deeper fear.

In Words of Silk Sandra Brown displays her uncanny grasp of the struggle between doubt and desire, caution and hope -- the quiet battle that rages deep within the human heart.

This book seemed very familiar to me, perhaps beause I read it when it was first released 20 years ago, or more likely because this storyline has been told before in countless other romance novels. I found it to be dated, with a domineering and chauvanistic leading man who is a master at manipulating the woman he wants. She's not as strong as she tries to come across, and lots of annoying verbal sparring passes between them, making the book kind of stressful to read. I usually savor treasured early novels written by current mainstream authors, and I generally love to read Sandra Brown's books, but this one really didn't capture my interest or my heart.

A quick read. I agree with Valentina, Deke was domineering. I had a hard time connecting with the story line. Thanks for sharing the book with me! Sorry it was on Mount TBR for so long! :)

It seems to be a problem with bookcrossers...............their to be read shelves are over loaded and it takes a long time to get to the wonderful books others send to us. Just look at me. I received this book May 19, 2011 and here it is May 20, 2015. Only 4 years to get to it!

I found this a quick read. I agree with others that Deke is manipulative as to getting his own way and Laney is not near as strong as she thinks. It was kind of the same old story, with a night of passion, an unexpected pregnancy, the girl running away, the man out of his mind in love with her and tracking her down. Last minute marriage in the delivery room. Of course, it has a happy ending. Don't they all?
