Heart Sounds (Harper Monogram)

Rating:
Summary: A good book
Review: I found Heart Sounds on a back shelf in my closet. I had bought it years ago but had forgotten it. I'm glad i found it. The story has an unusual heroine, she's deaf. She loses her hearing, or at least most of it, in a gunpowder accident when she's a child. She learns to adapt though by reading lips quite well. After she looses her mother in another mill accident she goes to work for an elderly couple. She encounters the hero when she is trying to save a drowning puppy and falls in the water herself and almost drowns. He fishes them both out and agrees to keep the puppy for her until he finds a new owner. He keeps coming around her and eventually they get caught in a compromising position. He marries her and takes her with him to his home in Maine. After she finds out that he really doesn't love her she denies him her desire but not his bed. He wants her to be the loving and passion filled wife of their first days together. He struggles with his feelings for her but soon finds that she is all he wants. She even saves him when they sail to England to rescue his brother and the hero gets arrested himself. I really enjoyed this book and would like to read more by this author like maybe a book about the brother.
