I must say, I was slightly apprehensive when I read the blurb for this book. After all, how often does one read a historical romance about a mute heroine?But once I started reading, I was more than pleasantly surprised by the wallop Lady Katherine packs as a heroine even though she doesn't speak. Ms. Roller did a stupendous job giving Katherine such a huge "voice" through her emotions, facial expressions, and gestures. There were moments in the book, when Katherine was angry with Alexander, that were brought to life by Katherine's expressions and gestures. I could see myself in that scene, could feel her anger and frustration radiating from her when she went toe-to-toe with Alex.And I loved Alex. Loved his resolve, his strength, his desperation to understand what was going on. He was incredibly aware of Katherine that his responses to her silent questions took me by surprise. He knew her for such a short time and yet he could read her so well.A terrific novel, one I will be reading again and recommending to fellow book lovers.
