SUMMER'S BOOK BLOGShannon is a successful photographer, who owns her own gallery and is on the verge of releasing her second book of photographs. She has fiery red hair that matches her defiant attitude and seems to have the world in the palm of her hand. That is until her life is turned upside down by two of the most important people in her life, the man she thought she was going to spend the rest of her life with and her best friend. Trying to pick up the pieces she takes temporary residence at The Cove, a five star hotel. Trying to numb her heartache, Shannon visits one of the hotel bars and that is where she meets the very sexy Nicholas Lockhart.Nicholas is a young, successful business man who, unbeknownst to Shannon, has had his eye on her since she walked into his publishing firm. Nicholas comes from a very prominent but dark and broken family leaving him with anger issues and trouble controlling himself. He is your typical alpha male and refuses to take no for an answer, especially when it comes to Shannon.Shannon and Nicholas's relationship progresses quickly and as much as Shannon knows they should slow down, she can not help but feel completely safe and calm when he is around. Nicholas is possessive and protective of Shannon and although he has good intentions, knowing it would kill him if anything bad ever happened to her, he is almost demanding when it comes to where she can and can not go. But there is something about Nicholas' life that ties him to Shannon's past. A past that she has kept silent about for the past decade. Something that could destroy their intense relationship apart. Will Shannon finally find the strength to be Silent No More?I was SHOCKED when I discovered Silent No More was N. E. Henderson's debut novel! She is a master with words! I was captivated from the moment I picked it up! It was told from Shannon's POV and Ms. Henderson gave her readers such a vivid look into the world of Shannon and Nicholas.Every character was developed in a way that if you were supposed to like them you loved them but if you were supposed to hate them you did. There was no middle ground and I loved the definiteness of it! Every emotion came through to strong that as the reader I felt emotionally invested in Shannon's relationships with every other character.Shannon and Nicholas had such chemistry and even though I don't always like the insta-love aspect, Ms. Henderson really made it work. The sex was HOT and left me blushing-- especially the scene in his office!! OMG!!The dark parts of the story were heartbreaking and the twists and turns kept me guessing through out the story! There is a cliff hanger at the end that made me say "That didn't just happen!?" But I really did love every second!!Awesome debut, Ms. Henderson!! Now on to Silent Guilt!!
