An Emotional Read

Silent Bell is probably the greatest romance novel I have ever read. There is a lot of emphasis placed on the way the characters feel about eachother, and how they deal with what they do and do not have in common. Regardless of their differences, and the action that is going on around their university that affects them, the outcome is proof that love does conquer all. Stuart and Melina's story is so engrossing and believable, I was surprised to read that Silent Bell is a book of fiction.

Incredible historical romance!

I love this love story! I couldn't put it down! I read the whole book in one sitting---twice! Not only was I intriqued by the romance, but I was fascinated with the history and religious aspects as well. The characters are so intelligent and it was refreshing to read about a romantic couple with problems that involve so much more than the typical love story.

Silent Bell delivers it all !!

This book is extremely well-written and well-researched consequently a very smooth read. It delivers wonderful romance with just enough history to engage deep feeling in its readers--feelings of protest, sadness, love, reality!! Silent Bell is perfect for the reader who likes to get lost in the book they are reading--everyone can relate to the age old subject of love, lost love, first love!

Perfect book for traveling.

The Silent Bell provides a great combination of love and history. What a great accompaniment for my flight to Denver. This book is perfect for an airplane trip. I couldn't wait to turn the page to learn the fate of Stuart and Melina. This story lets you learn about the history of Kent State while feeling the joys and frustrations of budding love. I highly recommend this novel.

learned about love AND Kent State in one easy read

Read this nifty little book on a coast-to-coast flight. A great romance story. I loved how Mr. Drake weaved his characters '90s thoughts and '60s remembraces. Great reflections. I liked this book for two reasons. 1)It reminded me of lost loves that I let get away for the dumbest reasons. What might have been? 2)Through this romantic tale it was great to learn all about those shootings at Kent State. Had heard about it, but it was great to learn some history about it, and to learn about in a gingerly-paced very entertaining read. This book is deep but reads so easily I recommend it for summer beach reading! Bravo!
