A few days ago I ranted about writing love scenes in a bland, cliche fashion--throbbing members, cream, tight sheaths, etc. Well in Bite of Silence you won't be getting that. Indeed  Hughes writes scintillating, love making scenes, with a light touch.  There is no typical nookie here! If there is any issue with the book it is the titanic dimensions of the immortal Spartan in Twyla's dreams. his hand spanned her entire back.  And, the size of certain parts of his anatomy defy all logic (In Young Frankenstein, Inga, played by Teri Garr,  calls it a Scwann Schtucker).There is quite a bit of character development, and both Twyla and Nikos have been dealt a surprising depth and in Nikos' case an unexpected degree of sensitivity. The plot is improbable, maybe a bit silly. But for a light, lively read I recommend this. I know I had been debating over the past year  whether to get Biting Nixie, from the same author.  Bite of Silence helped me decide to download that book!
