Unity Brooks can't
believe her eyes when she discovers evidence of illegal transactions in the
company books. She presents the evidence to her supervisor, who listens
attentively and even provides her with a comforting cup of coffee. Imagine her
embarrassment when she wakes half-naked and bound in the arms of Aquila
Johnson, the accountant auditing the books .After spending a stunning night
with Unity, Quill is puzzled when she drops out of sight. His employer sends
him home to investigate a case nearby until the media finds other scandals to
focus on. When the two cases collide and Unity's life is threatened, they learn
that sharing secrets is the safest way to stay alive.
Reading the above, Winter Hearts by Anny Cook is something
that I couldn’t wait to read. It just sounded really good. With regret, I have
to inform you that my review is not going to be a good one.
At the beginning of the book I was a little disappointed
that the ‘stunning night’ in the closet with Quill and Unity was just a teaser.
Then later in the book they are about to have oral sex and then they are
interrupted. They do finally have sex but it was so tamely described that the
lead up overhyped it and made it disappointing.
The idea behind this book that Quill and his family are
angels/shapeshifters is a good one. It’s unique and interesting enough to draw
in readers with just the idea. However the follow through was disappointing.
When I was reading the book it felt like there was information I was missing.
Perhaps some of the information came from another book and didn’t translate
into this one…no. I looked up Anny Cook’s website and this is the first book in
the series. What happened to the information? Why am I guessing at who half of
the people are?
Overall the book was disappointing. I was intrigued with the
idea but the follow through was missing something. I felt half lost, like I was
missing important background information on the characters. I really don’t like
giving bad reviews and I’m hoping that perhaps I accidently got an unfinished
manuscript on my Nook rather than that the story is that bad…I hope because it
should have been a good idea. Still in the end I can only give my review based
on the information I have. I rate this book 2 stars. L
