After Calli is mugged and nearly killed, she becomes afraid to leave her apartment at night. She holes up like a hermit, her only social outlet playing online Scrabble. She plays and flirts with Travis, a tattooed rock musician who's tired of the party scene and one night stands. He's taken by her, and after a misstep, manages to track her down to her place of business and their cyber relationship becomes physical. Everything's fine until the sun sets and Calli refuses leave her apartment because of her fears.I loved this book. If you've read Game Plan by Karla Doyle, it offers more of the same humor and witty banter between the characters that Doyle does so well. She has a knack for snappy dialogue. What I also thought she did especially well in More than Words was plot. The conflicts and problems naturally flowed from choices the characters made.The characters and their situations felt very real to me and I had several "oh no!" moments while reading this book. Both characters are very likable (although I did not like Calli very much when she "couldn't" take her dog to the vet. Suck it up, lady! LOL).If you enjoy hot contemporary romance, this book and this author are a great choice.
