From Publishers Weekly

Samantha (Sam) Ryder and Jake Raincrow recognize when they meet as small children that their love will constantly have to fight to survive. Jake's mother, Sarah Raincrow, and Sam's aunt, wealthy and evil Alexandra Vanderveer Lomax, have been archenemies since Alex entrapped Sarah's brother into marrying her and giving her the family's most valued possession, the Pandora ruby. Sam and Jake grow into talented adults: she uses her hands to weave beautiful tapestries; he uses his sixth sense--the gift of his Cherokee heritage--to read minds, hunt for gems and find people lost in the North Carolina hills. The two finally marry. But Alex uses bribes, lies and murder to control Sam and to ruin her relationship with Jake. In attempting to do so, she causes the deaths of many in their families and forces Jake into a 10-year jail sentence. It is not until Jake is free, Alex is dead and the ruby is abandoned that Sam and Jake are able to trust one another and love again. While the pace steadies after an uneven start and intrigue abounds, Deborah Smith's ( Blue Willow ) characters, notably Alex, are at once hollow and overdrawn.

This is my favourite book of all time. My paperback copy has been read so many times, it's barely holding together, so I thought I'd treat myself to a Kindle copy I could read whenever I want. The typos throughout this version are so pathetic, you'd almost believe a child typed it. Great story, but be prepared to spend 25% of your time translating the typos included in the Kindle version.

Gripping. This was very intense. I would have to put the book down and then go back to it a little later. I really wanted to read it straight through, but the emotions it brought up were so intense for me that I had to read in segments.

Just a Darn Good Book

You know how you have a book that you've read a long time ago and you can't quite remember the details but, at the very mention of it, makes you smile and sigh? That is what this book was to me and buying to reread it was SUCH a good decision for me.

This is without a doubt the sweetest love story that I've read in a long, long time. I recommend this book for people that could use a romance book that can stand on its own two feet and make you care about the characters and their story without being sappy or a replacement for your naughty websites.

This is my third Deborah Smith novel. That in itself tells you that she has become one of my favourite authors. I love her style of writing... her characters are so diverse and their individual quirps and use of words sets each of them apart from each other, which helps you remember who they are throughout the novel. It's my first time ever that I have been asked to review a book so bear with me! I read The Crossroad Cafe and Blue Willow. I enjoyed them just as much as Silk & Stone, however, I did note that in two of the books, the author uses a similar start up of the two main characters.. both very young in the beginning and both bonded and both ending up together. I am a little nervous of selecting another of her books, as I would like to think that not all her books begin this way.
I find the reviews extremely helpful in selecting the books I choose to read. By the way... I am Nicky Hillman... my husband bought me my Kindle as a gift... my best gift ever!

I have enjoyed every book by Deborah Smith. Her characters are never flat, never dull, always passionate. But I have found that in this book especially. Jake and Samantha are an amazing couple, one I would love to see in every romance. They go up against harsh realities that would strain any normal relationship, but nothing truly separates them. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a powerful romance.

Love story, murder mystery (except we always know whodunit - Alexandra), and finally, a tale of a precious gift....and Ieave it up to the reader to decide exactly what the precious gift is. Great read.
