Strong Silent Type

Lee Ann Chung is a Chinese-American librarian working in a small Texas town. At obedience school for her dog she meet Keller Hunt, a police detective on leave from work after an injury on the job causes him to lose the ability to speak. They fall for each other immediately, but Keller isn't ready to commit until he finds out if he will recover his voice. The unusual characters add interest to what would otherwise be a fairly pedestrian romance. Although she's called "exotic" a few times, it's refreshing to have an Asian American heroine who is not stereotypical--Lee Ann is feisty and assertive. Keller is a bit more battered than the standard romance hero. When they first meet, he's wearing an eyepatch. He communicates by writing notes. But I didn't like that the outcome of the relationship hinges on whether or not he regains his voice.

Synopsis and Review

Librarian Lee Ann Chung was tired of her defiant dog, Doofus, so she enrolled him in obedience school. She meets Keller Hunt who seems to converse with animals, and they understand his special signals. Lee Ann is immediately attracted to him, and when they look into each other's eyes, their attraction is somehow understood. Although Keller was injured on police duty causing him to loose his ability to speak, his touch communicates to Lee Ann all that she needs to know.This book displays quite powerfully that no words are necessary to let someone know how you feel. Although this book touches on the seriousness of a relationship, the humor and wit of Elizabeth Glenn makes the novel all the more outstanding.
