Precious Things by Gail Delaney is twenty-two chapters of romance released in December 2010 by Desert Breeze Publishing, Inc. Benjamin Prescott Roth strives to become independent and in so doing, becomes a self-made man. The father who raises him tells him he's incapable of surviving on his own because he's deaf, but Ben proves that prediction wrong. He's become so tough he's built walls of protection to shield him from more pain and heartache, until beautiful Jewell Kincaid breaks down those carefully-built walls inch-by-inch. She's smart, feisty, and doesn't give up on him. When Ben's world is shaken to the core, he attempts to push her away, but she'll have none of it. She's determined to win the man she loves. It's not in Jewell Kincaid to give up, so she's persistent, but will it pay off? Can her love change the cold, hard facade to a warm, loving man?This story will tug the reader's heartstrings with the powerful emotions of love, hate, fear, pain, and betrayal with the author's sensual descriptions. I enjoyed the writing style and loved the strong, deaf hero and heroine, the heartbeat of the novel. If you love romance, you'll love this book. Never make the mistake of thinking that deaf heroes can't be strong, romantic, or capture a woman's heart. Mrs. Delaney proves otherwise with her five-star novel.
