Heart Untouched by Andrew Grey
4.0
**Copy provided to Bayou Book Junkie by DreamSpinner Press for my reading pleasure in hopes of an unbiased opinion, a review was not a requirement.**
Heart Untouched is the third book in Andrew Grey’s Hearts Entwined series. This series has stories with a blind MC, a dead MC and now a MC who is paralyzed. Other than the first book, these books can be emotionally heavy as the main character is learning to accept the change in his life.
Duncan and Todd are Olympic skeleton racers and friends when an accident causes Duncan to be confined to a wheelchair with no feeling below his waist. Duncan is depressed and struggling with living at home with his mom again and being completely reliant on her. Todd comes back into Duncan’s life and forces him to see the things he can do instead of what he can’t do.
I liked Duncan and Todd. Duncan’s struggles were hard to read and were emotionally heavy but that is authentic to what he’s experiencing. And the story did a great job of showing Duncan at his low point, while slowly learning about what he can still have in life. The people in Duncan’s life were great supports.
As a person who loves the Olympics, it really gives a different viewpoint than I normally see. And anyone who has watched skeleton racers knows it’s a dangerous sport, those people are adrenaline junkies. I think the author did a terrific job in this book of showing that. I don’t know if the information about the Olympic committee is true, but it felt very authentic.
I loved seeing the couples from past stories! The one thing that never made sense to me in this story was the storyline with Corrina. All of it just felt awkward and out of place, to me. Otherwise, this was another great addition to the series!
Rating: 4 stars
