Silent Vows: A Mafia Arranged Marriage Romance (The Byrne Brothers)

Product Information

Conner's inner dialogue about Noemi and his feeling towards her was unbelievable or not how any man would describe a woman. This book had such potential but the main reason for the title was resolved too early for me? I also feel like her reasons for her silence were not really good? She could always still write the secrets she kept within her and plotted against her father all along? I enjoyed the dynamics between our H and h, but, still could have been way hotter for me. Which is what I was honestly hoping for with these two.. Basically, the anticipation of the possibilities was actually more intense than what was actually given. 🤷‍♀️ So that's why no 5 ✨ here..

SILENT VOWS is a story of power and control, murder and obsession, betrayal and revenge, secrets and lies, family and relationships, friendships and love. The fast paced premise is captivating and intriguing but not as dark and gritty as many of the Mafia/crime world story lines; the romance is erotic and intense; the characters are determined, desperate and dynamic.

I enjoyed both their performances and would listen to this Narration team again. Overall, Silent Vows had potential, but there were too many issues with the characters, romance, and plot for me to enjoy it. I really wanted to love this story, but unfortunately, it wasn't it for me.The original rendering of this syncope or parable from the Gospel of Luke does not incorporate silence. The adaptation into Zen tradition could have omitted the role of silence. This particular use of silence is neither monastic nor vowed, but the dialogue may well have taken place in a monastery rather than a university. [ improper synthesis?] Fr. James Conner, OCSO wrote about the Fifth Christian–Buddhist Contemplative Conference held at the Naropa Institute in which ordained practitioners from Zen, Vajrayana, and Catholic monastic lineages conducted meditation and discussion. According to Conner, wordless prayer is designed to transcend rational processes to allow perception of an exalted state. "Zen says that Buddha-nature begins where the rational level ends. The same is taught in Christianity. One is to practice thoughtless, wordless prayer and thus perceive the divine presence."

Hirshberg Lederman, Amy (23 December 2010). "Finding meaning in the sound of silence". Arizona Jewish Post. Buddhism and Christianity are not the only traditions enunciating the virtues of quietism. The Tao Te Ching enunciates a view of the supreme value of doing absolutely nothing, in a profound metaphysical sense. This is called wu wei and is consistent with the concept of sunyata more fully elaborated in Buddhism. [ improper synthesis?] According to the Tao Te Ching, silence is merely the application of this concept to the tongue in addition to hands and feet.
