From AudioFile
Deke Sargent and Laney McLeod meet while trapped in an elevator in New York City. As Deke helps Laney overcome her claustrophobia, the emotionally starved Laney finds love and caring. But when Laney becomes pregnant with Deke's child, Karen Ziemba has her work cut out for her, alternating emotional and tonal nuance between the confident Deke and the self-sufficient Laney. Ziemba brings passion to the characters and their fight for each other and their place in the world. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Stalking shouldn't be this funny
By D. Hunt
While driving for my job, one of my favorite things to do is listen to books on CD. Sandra Brown is a particular favorite. Her novels are suspenseful yet light enough that I don't have to think too hard to lose concentration while driving. However, while listening to "Words of Silk" I am pleased to say that I was able to keep my vehicle on the road while laughing so hard at this dated rendition of a love story.
I wont get into the plot, because there really isn't much to say. Basically, this tale consists of a heroine that is TSFW (too stupid for words) and her stalker one-night stand. Being a virgin, the heroine stereotypically gets pregnant after one night of pleasure even though she is supposedly barren from a mysterious "secondary infection." After that her life is invaded and she is pretty much stalked by the uber-hairy, macho older man to whom she gave her virtue.
I realize this novelette is 20 years old, and interestingly enough it kept my attention. In today's world a man like Deke is not only repulsive, he's downright scary. He's a STALKER!
All aside, giggling and laughing to phrases like "the lush delta of her femininity," and "gripping her fingers in his springy patches of gray chest hair," was enough to keep me listening through the whole thing. I am sure other drivers, seeing me laughing out loud either thought I was nuts or were really envious of how much enjoyment I was getting on Sandra Brown's behalf.

The worst book for modern women EVER
By Mrs. K
First let me say I am not a feminist with a bone to pick, or anything like that. I am not a crusader. I am not religious, and the sexual nature presented in this book did not offend me in theory. This book, however, disgusted me on so many levels. It made me literally sick to my stomach all day.
First, we have Laney, who in her drunk/terrorized state had sex with Deke. She was in too debilitated of a condition to offer consent. Deke merely kept badgering her-fondling and stroking and groping-until she gave in. Last I checked, this is known as RAPE.
Then, we have Deke (whose name is merely a contraction of the words Domineering Control Freke) who violates Laney's medical records, tracks her down, and moves into her house without permission. He threatened to tell her employer she was an unwed mother to make her lose her job if she didn't do things his way. This, ladies, is known as MENACING. She repeatedly (what? Fifty times? More?) asked him to leave her alone. Begged him to leave her alone. Told him to get out. He refused and further badgered her. Last I checked, this is known as STALKING.
And he ranted on and on and on and on until in her weak, pregnant state she let him stay because he made her powerless to do anything else. Badgered her and fondled her and rubbed and squeezed and prodded the pregnant woman till she gave in (probably just too exhausted to fight off her attacker! Yes! Her attacker! any longer.) Last I checked, this is manipulative, abusive behavior.
Badgered her until she admitted her mother didn't love her, and insisted this was the reason she "refused" to love him. More psychological torture and manipulation.
Insinuated that he would take her baby by flaunting his power and money, eliminating all possibility of her making any decisions whatsoever. This is another example of a form of abuse-intimidation by an authority figure.
He chose EVERYTHING for her: her bed which he slept in without her permission, her dishwasher, her cleaning lady, even her nightgown and bedspread. The creep even made her choke down breakfast when she wasn't hungry (oh! But he convinced her that she WAS hungry!) He chose their house, sight unseen. He chose her car, sight unseen. He demanded that she leave her home, town, and job. She refused to join him in New York. She said no...but by then she was so "enthralled" she decided to give in anyway. Last I checked, this is known as the alienation process-that sick knowledge that you have no 'say' at all-and that you will be abandoned by the only one that "loves" you if you don't do things their way-that takes place in cases of spousal abuse.
Huh! Even at the very end of the book, after mutual love has been professed, he badgered her into having sex on the back lawn. The word NO means nothing to this Neanderthal idiot. He is a revolting pig of an abusive spouse. All of this iron-fisted control is supposed to be OKAY...because he's generous, rich, and handsome.
Her responses throughout the book were classic of a domestic abuse situation: Too tired to argue anymore. Not worth fighting about. Might as well go along with him, it's easier that way.
You, dear reader, are wondering by now why I finished this book if I hated it so much. Honestly, I hoped she'd stand up to him-just once! Or, better yet, see him for what he was and shoot him or something. I was hoping I'd come along the knowledge this was intended to be a sick parody of a love story. That never happened. Instead, the abuse was made acceptable by presenting it with a happy ending.
I also don't expect Helpful Votes...I've had my say, and that's enough for me.
Honestly, I have all kinds of respect for books but I am literally going to burn this one. ZERO stars.

Words of Stupid
By MomoiroMegane
Ahh, the good ole days of yore, when all women needed was a big man to stampede into their lives and make all the decisions, wield financial superiority over them and break all kinds of laws regarding privacy and confidentiality.
What? It's no one's dream to be stalked, harassed, intimidated, and treated like an idiot? Shock of shocks!
Ahh Sandra Brown. I have enjoyed some of your work, but this is an early one, and it shows. From the fear of the social stigma of being an unwed mother, to the terrible clothing,it's all dated as heck. The 'plot' is full of the cheesiest romance elements; the rich playboy, the sekrit baby, and the scarring family drama preventing emotional availability. Peripheral details appear and then disappear when are inconvenient, and actions are given flimsy motivation chapters after they occur. For all you other women out there not eager to bear children, baby making is a huge part of the plot. The nuances of pregnancy are hashed and rehashed, the characters spend most of the time talking about 'when the baby comes' and DEAR GOD IF I HEAR ABOUT HER BREASTS AGAIN I WILL RUPTURE MY OWN EAR DRUMS.(It was an audio book).
Deke is alternately the most unbelievably nice and understanding man in the universe, and a manipulative authoritative dickwad. I would have disliked him more, except Laney was such a limp rag. I guess we were supposed to feel sorry for her, but all I felt was anger that she allowed most of this to happen. They never feel like actual people, with actual lives outside these events, but like uninteresting puppets. Deke fairs only slightly better, his apartment is more indicative of his preferences, and when he moves in we see his stuff. Laney is a complete non-entity; other than teaching Kindergarten we have no idea what she does or what her interests are and this levels her within the narrative to the baby-making-machine she fears being in the plot.
Replete with ludicrous references to body parts, the book treads water in the second act and devolves into group stupidity in the third. Alternately boring and enraging, this book gets noted as being one with the most touching I've ever read. They keep fondling and groping each other but the stupid circumstances rob it of being titillating in the slightest. Or rewarding. Or worthwhile
