What happens when the woman with all the answers meets the man who is looking to change the world?
AJ finds pride in the deaf community. His greatest desire is to bridge the gap between the hearing and deaf worlds. He thought all he needed was order, precision, and dedication...
He was wrong.
All he needed was a little chaos.
Jody was a vortex of non-stop chaotic information and turbulence. A spicy disaster waiting to take out anyone who got in her way.
She'd never been able to view the world through a wide lens, until she met AJ.

MY REVIEW.
5 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Romance and an Education.
Silent Words is a beautiful follow up to Silent Song, which I absolutely loved. Jaci Wheeler does a fantastic job at bringing her readers into the world of Deaf Culture and explaining as she goes. While Bennett and Presley are present, this time around we focus on Jodi and AJ, a perfect opposites attract couple.
Jodi was awesome from the get go. She's a bit neurotic and brilliant at the same time. She exudes confidence that hides her insecurities. Something she didn't think people noticed, until she met AJ. After accepting an offer to help Presley with another song, Jodi finds herself creatively immersed in Deaf Culture. This girl is shot out of a cannon 24/7, something the strict, rigid AJ knows nothing about.
"Sometime silence my prison. Sometime my home."
AJ is deaf and also works with Presley. He isn't impressed with Jodi at first sight. She is confusing to him and frankly everything he doesn't like in a woman. What he didn't expect is to learn from Jodi's chaos. AJ wants to spread the word of Deaf Culture to others and never in a million years did he think Jodi would be able to help him with that.
These two are fantastic together! I absolutely loved Jodi's personality. She was balls to the wall, not caring what anybody though of her. AJ was always on a schedule, color coordinated and sadly, a bit boring. The back and forth between these two was hilarious and heartwarming at the same time.
The book is well written and while predictable, a fantastic glimpse into Deaf Culture once again. You learn a lot reading this book, however it doesn't feel preachy if that makes any sense. Jodi Wheeler has a great letter to the reader explaining how the deaf communicate, which is eye opening to say the least. Silent Words is a fantastic companion read to Silent Song.
