It may be hard for Danny Taggart to
ignore the jealously he has when he sees his brothers Ethan
and Derek with their girlfriends, but it’s not enough to
make him fall for another woman. He’s been there and done
that and he’s not going back for seconds. Twelve years ago
Caroline Medford was the love of Danny’s life, until she
left him flat. While Caroline did marry someone else,
she didn’t end up with the happily-ever-after Danny thinks
she did. Caroline is in danger so she turns to the one man
she thinks can help her. Danny initially refuses Caroline’s
plea, but he gets wrapped up in her nightmare for very
personal reasons. As they unearth deadly secrets, Caroline
and Danny face their past. While their feelings are bared,
the killers are becoming increasingly more anxious that
Danny and Caroline’s investigating will expose them. With
the danger mounting, Danny and Caroline are in a fight for
their love and their lives.
Danny is the brooding, sexy, hard-edged, eldest Taggart
brother and he intrigued me from the start of the Gemini
Men series. Unleashed tells not only
Danny’s story, but Anne Taggart’s as well. While certain
mysteries are answered new questions arise and a twisted
plot born of greed is uncovered. While Danny’s ire can be
justified to a certain extent, his misery is largely self-
imposed because of his stubbornness. Danny sees things one
way - his way. Enter, beautiful, softhearted Caroline, the
love of Danny’s life. Caroline lost a lot when she walked
away from Danny all those years ago. More than Danny ever
imagined. He was emotionally closed off and regardless of
how much she loved him Caroline could only take being pushed
away for so long. When Danny and Caroline finally have their
heart-to-heart, the poignancy of the moment is breathtaking,
especially for Danny who breaks down and shows a
surprisingly vulnerable side of himself. Danny and
Caroline’s history is based on passion and young love and
while they are now older and jaded, the spark is still
there. Alden’s men are genuine and all male. They ooze sex
appeal. With tons of twists and turns, a horrific nightmare
unfolds on every page, and a romance as angst-filled as it
is erotic, Unleashed is arguably the best of
the Gemini Men novels. |
