Silence Speaks For Love Emma Goldrick 9780373114658 Books

Note: This was first published in 1992, before cell phones and computers; Mandy uses a typewriter to type Brian's book.

First, the blurb above can't even begin to touch on the heart and soul of this book. Mandy has just turned 21 and meets Brian Stone, an adventure writer. Because Mandy had a very traumatic experience that resulted in her parents' death, she hasn't spoken a word since she was a child. In Brian's eyes, this makes her a perfect candidate first as his secretary and then as his wife.

What he doesn't realize is that Mandy is *not* the "sweet and biddable" woman he thought she was. Add in an evil "other woman", a very protective Great Dane, and a mute woman with a delightful sense of humor & this is one book I'll read over and over and over.

Silence Speaks For Love Emma Goldrick 9780373114658 Books Reviews

I love this book. It shows that honest love does not put up barriers no matter what the problem.
At first glance this didn't strike me as a book that would have lots of humor - the heroine, Mandy is mute. After suffering a terrible trauma as a child, she lost the ability to speak, and communicates through sign language and writing notes. But to my surprise there were a lot of funny moments in this story, and plenty of zany characters (from dogs to aunts) who do unexpected and sometimes naughty things! I thought it was fun and give it four stars.

Description from the book back cover

Amanda Small's twenty-first birthday was memorable - because she met Brian Stone. The huskily handsome adventure story writer was drawn to the idea of a secretary who wouldn't answer him back, and hired her to work for him. It also seemed he was greatly attracted to having a biddable wife, for he asked Mandy to marry him as well. But Mandy wasn't sure that Brian was actually attracted to her - even though she was certain of her love for him - and there wasn't an easy way of telling him just exactly how she felt ...
I really enjoyed this HP and the mute heroine. Mandy was a hoot with her caustic inner musing. I didn't find her childlike at all, despite a tendency to giggle silently. Her thoughts and desires were those of an adult. She was a bit immature at the start but she was a sheltered 21, and she grew by the end. Loved when she confronted the witch Meredith.

I liked the hero too. I didn't mind the lack of his POV cuz his moods and thinking were pretty obvious. Except when he declared he'd loved Mandy before he married her - where did THAT come from? Seemed abrupt and unsupported. I liked that he wasn't a Latin billionaire or some such, but a guy who worked for his living. He seemed like a real male, oblivious and convinced he's the lord of the castle. Mandy's silent lobs at him were funny, and by the end he wasn't quite so smug.

The plot was pretty original. This was a different HP than the ones you see too much of nowadays. No billionaires, mistresses, playboys, or secret babies in sight. So refreshing.

A couple of nitpicks. Some weird word choices that seemed out of place in a contemp. Who calls pumps "ballroom slippers"? And the talk about being ruined and needing a chaperone? WTF? Is this the 1950's?

Aunt Rose was great though and I loved the sly way she got them together.

OTOH the OW was a total cliche. No subtlety there at all. How did she expect to get away with all she did? I liked when the hero told her off. And I loved when Mandy threw her out, LOL!

This was my first read by Emma Goldrick, and though it's one-of-a-kind, I liked her writing enough to seek out another. Recommended!
I love this book, it has it all love, romance, and an enemy who gets what she deserves!
Wonderful . I wanted to reread it right away.
Love this book I've read it many times over the years ! Love the characters and this was a replacement !
The first time I read a book I was 16 years old and I thought it was the sweetest love story. 16 years later I've read it again and I still enjoyed it. The plot is very vanilla compared to the books that I've been reading of late however it still does have a very good plotline and romance. I found it so funny that they did not have cell phones and the guy is still using a typewriter! Like I said the book was written many many years ago. It is a sweet romance and it does have enough drama to keep you going. It's nice to go back to more traditional love stories once in a while.
