Let it be know that the black Knight and the Lady was and is one of the greatest Sagas I have had the fortune of reading her on the net. I would so love for there to be yet a another chapter or a sequel to this Saga, IÆm now only moments after reading the final words on the story, So I miss the characters as if the story tock place just beside me I miss their presence and their beautiful love for one another.

Romantic short story. The length of the story makes parts of this story feel a little rushed, and I'd have preferred to have seen their relationship develop more slowly, but it's well written and sweet:-) - Lyn B - Jun-30-2011    I really enjoyed reading this short sweet tale of two people falling in love. - uber goober - Aug-10-2012    Lovely story ...

Silence Of Love by Dragonjuls (JM Dragon)     

Original / Uber | Modern | Alternative (Mature) | Drama | Novel - 151 pages | Finished | Cast: Rachael, Dilana Links: Dragonjuls' Storybook
This is the tender story of a beautiful mute, Rachel Alderman, that fate has cast into the life of burned out writer, Dilana Sterling. As their attraction for one another grows so does Dilana's courage to write again. As with all JM Dragon stories angst enters the picture in the form of, Celina Ratford. Will love conquer all or will money and fame win the heart and soul of the writer.
What a wonderful story. JMDragon has really blended angst/love/hurt into a highly realistic tale. I highly recommend this to all who believe that love sometimes needs to be fought for and worth the fight. - Chris L. - Dec 9th, 2002    Once again JMDragon has created truly memorable characters. I was hooked from the onset and can't wait to read how it all gets resolved. JM is truly a craftswoman when it comes to creating and maintaining angst. Her written words are pure joy to read. I always look forward to the new adventures she takes me on. - Kay - Dec 11th, 2002    This is not your 'average' JMDragon story! It is a tale of two meant to be together meeting in improbable circumstances and lots of angst odds, which is JM's normal, but it never quite reaches her excellent writing abilities. A nice beginning that didn't quite make it. Not one of her's that I'd read again. But, that's just my opinion. - Sam - Dec 29th, 2002    You can count me as one who really enjoyed Silence of Love! DonÆt pay attention to all of the negative comments, go read it for yourself and I think youÆll agree with me! - Angel M - Dec 29th, 2002    I read it, then because of all the negative comments, I re-read it. I have read all her stories several times and have always enjoyed them. However, something wasn't working in the story. I didn't enjoy this one so much as the others. - Linda - Dec 30th, 2002    Every once in a while, a writer finds it within themselves to write something a bit different, like a rock musician must write a song of love after many, many hard-hitting and fast-paced hitsàthis is what MJ Dragon had done. This is not 'Define Destiny' or like many of her other works that presents strong characters and defined archetypesàin this tale, it is the unexpected characters you cannot truly define into an Uber mold that make it special and memorable. So no, this is NOT your usual Dragonjules taleàthis is BETTER! This tale shows a seasoned writer that has broken her own mold and written a sweet timeless love story that stands out against all the others youÆve come to expect from this author. Read it and you decide û but donÆt expect to find all of the ingredients you have seen beforeàthe flavoring in this is much more exotic and yet subtle. YouÆll LOVE the taste!! - WebWarrior - Dec 30th, 2002    It was different, and it was subtle, and worth the read. JM's attempt is worth noting, unfortunately, you aren't satisfied with the effort. - Webster - Dec 30th, 2002    Despite the negative comments i have read, I found this to be a wonderful, touching, and all around well written tale. No! It is not "Destiny" [which I dearly love], but it stands on its own merits. No story or author will please all folks all the time. Read this one and deceide for yourself. It is well worth the effort. The "Dragon" has woven a tale well worth reading. - Belle A. Pellegrino - Dec 30th, 2002    After seeing all the comments on this story, I had to take a look. This is the first of Dragonjuls' stories that I've read, and so I can't compare it to her previous work, pro or con. On its own, Silence of Love is an entertaining uber romance which struck me as more Janice and Mel, than Xena and Gabrielle. I found the text in need of some editing to ease readability, (commas, and sentence breaks), and I didn't find the intro or character list necessary. Beyond this, Silence of Love follows the uber formula of 1)characters with a dark pasts, 2)meeting fortuitously, 3)developing mutual feelings of love in denial, and repressing their expression, 4)a rift, 5)a reapproachment after soulsearching, 6)a climactic catalyst leading to their declarations of love, and 7)the happy resolution. It's competently written, engaging, and has a satisfying conclusion. I found its most uncharacteristic features to be 1)it's somewhat longer than the most popular stories, 2)its male characters are protrayed more positively than is usual in uber. It seems fair to say that for JMDragon, in this story, loving women doesn't reflect its corollary, hating men. That alone makes it refreshing. I think Silence of Love is worth a read. Its not a simple story, emotionally; overall, not a comfortable, funny, heartwarming romance. I suspect that any sense of discontinuity the reader feels may be linked to the method of posting chapters rather than a finished work. Nevertheless, spend a little time reading Silence of Love, then go back to something less challenging if you don't like it. - Phantom Bard - Jan 1st, 2003    JMÆs portrayal of the emotional growth that allows people to create intimacy in full view of their failings and vulnerabilities is superb. She has such a knack with her cannily drawn characters.... angst overflowingà..sexually charged... and emotionally wrenchingàthey are definitely human, but filled with empathy with a decided weave. As I havenÆt read any of her writings this past year, I can definitely say this story shows a huge expansion and great development of her writing skills à some of the best writing she's done and a whole new side to her considerable talent. This is one of the most satisfying, heart tugging chronicle I've read in quite a while, and IÆd give it a solid gold five stars any day of the week. - B.S. Raven - Feb 19th, 2003    interesting, thoughtful, different, I liked it and thought is a good read, it is very much a new (and not unappealing) approach by a very talented author. - dt - Oct 25th, 2003    very sincere & a sweet story.. one that can melt your heart.. :) - ckgirl - Nov-26-2011    What a beautiful and great story! I loved it very much! - Ricky - May-01-2012

I would like to read this story but the formatting makes it too hard to read. The pages are too wide. Is there some way that this could be rectified? - Rocky - Jan 25th, 2006    JM Dragon certainly has a way with a story. The writing is strong and the characters leap out of the page. What a great story and the ending...well you won't believe it. - Chrissy - Feb 10th, 2006    GREAT! If you liked Agnes of God you'll love this. It has action, a budding romance, and a shock that will through you totally off track. Great read! - Amanda - Jan-03-2009
