Wyoming rancher Quinn McKay's been in love with his wife Libby for the past fourteen years.  They've been married for nine of those years and he couldn't imagine being with anyone else.  That's why their `trial separation' is proving to be the most difficult thing he's ever endured.He hopes that Libby will come to her senses and allow him to return to their home and her bed but it's become apparent to him that something has to change or he will lose her for good.  Quinn isn't one to talk about his feelings or show a lot of affection but after three months of separation he's willing to do whatever he has to in order to save his marriage.Libby McKay has never stopped loving Quinn but all the improvements she's made to herself and their home have gone unnoticed and she's afraid that the love and desire they once shared is gone forever.  She'd hoped that maybe a little time apart would rectify the situation but nothing she's doing seems to be enough to get him to fight for her.  It's a heartbreaking situation but it looks like divorce is imminent.Quinn does something completely unexpected and he reinforces the fact that he's staked his claim and lets her know that he has every intention of seeing that she gives him the second chance he deserves.  He even goes so far as to find new ways to show his feelings for her.  However, one of their biggest problems could simply be their lack of communication but maybe a weekend together could bring them closer than ever - especially if they're completely honest about everything that happened and what they desire from each other.Lorelei James' STRONG, SILENT TYPE really captures all the emotional angst that occurs when a marriage is in trouble.  What I especially enjoyed about this story is the genuine love that is evident in how Quinn and Libby respond to each other.  This is a relationship that deserves a second chance and really touched me because I can personally attest to the impact family interference and heartbreaking loss can have on a family and how much work it takes to keep your marriage from falling apart.  Lorelei James will touch readers' hearts with this memorable story which is not just very emotional - but also downright hot!  We all should be so lucky as to have a STRONG, SILENT TYPE man of our very own.Chrissy Dionne (courtesy of Romance Junkies)
