He's the hockey league's first deaf defenseman. Magnus Eriksson has been dubbed the Silent Defender by the reporters he will only speak to through a sign language interpreter. She's a reporter he's slow to trust. Jennie Fields caught Magnus' eye the first time he saw her standing in the back of the locker room. Physically, she's just his type-long legs, voluptuous curves and an ass he'd gladly worship. Her only downfall is her job. Unless it's a slap shot from the blue line, taking chances isn't Magnus' strong suit. He's comfortable with his life, even being deaf, but the more he gets to know Jennie, the more he wonders if he's been wrong all this time. Could he have his career, his right to remain silent and the girl? If so, he'd have the perfect hat trick.

           When I first read the summary for Silent Defender I was hyped for the release day of the book, but after getting into the book I was confronted with doubt and disappointment.

As a South Jersey native, the location of the story, the mentioning of common locations and attractions got me even more excited, but didn't balance out my dislike in the end.

The first one hundred pages of the book were the best for me. I loved the relationship between Jennie and Magnus, the connection they had.

A certain common situation ruined the rest of the book for me.

I absolutely loathe when authors throw in a "surprise" or "accidental" pregnancy. To me this is a cheap way to make a story move along when you don't know what to do or how to add to the story.

So many other options and plots could exist, but instead you throw in a pregnancy and half the time a rushed marriage. This kills any excitement I may have for a book.
