About this ebook

A Hearts Entwined Novel

An accident crushed Duncan’s Olympic dreams and landed him in a chair, but he knows it’s time to get his life back on track—and he has a plan in mind. Working with his friend Todd, an Olympic skeleton racer, on a promotional campaign will not only help Duncan regain some direction, but it’ll give Todd the financial boost he desperately needs. The sport Todd loves is draining his resources—so much so that he’s thinking of giving up racing just to make ends meet.

As the two men work together, their friendship blossoms into much more, and suddenly the future is looking brighter than it has in a long time. But just when love, happiness, and success seem within their grasp, the USOC steps in with plans to stop their campaign. That’ll mean an end not just to Duncan’s business, but to Todd’s dreams... and Duncan isn’t about to let that happen to the man who means everything to him.

Ratings and reviews

Heart Untouched is book three in the Hearts Entwined series and works well as a stand-alone. There are recurring Characters that link it to the series and I loved seeing all the other guys! Duncan and Todd are skeleton racers with the dreams of being in the winter Olympics. A terrible accident puts Duncan in a wheelchair with little to no feeling in his legs. Duncan and Todd have been friends for a long time and Todd has come back into Duncan's life. Duncan is trying to start an advertising business and goes to talk to Todd's boss where he meets the other guys. Some are blind or deaf and still working and enjoying life. Todd is working at the garage and loves it but his real dream is the Olympics. He wants Duncan and is determined to help him find his worth and et over his negativity. I loved both Todd and Duncan. Especially Todd. I adored how he was so persistent and never gave up on Duncan. and how he took care of his mom as well. I like Duncan because I did feel sorry for him but a few times I wanted to shake him and tell him to get over himself and just love Todd.! The storyline is good. I enjoyed it and was eager to see what happened next as we went along. The end was satisfying there were a few questions left in my mind. If you like a slow burn, friends to lovers, Olympic sports, physically challenged men and a sweet romance you will love this.

4,15 ~> Amazing. Another Fantastic Look at a Differently-Abled Lead Character. ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ 4-STAR ✩ REVIEW ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ > > Judging a Book by its Cover < < Split Screen fade design with two men kissing on the upper half and a man in a wheelchair in the lower corner. Bold, legible title and author name. Synopsis promised to be as good as the other two books in this series. > > Looking Deeper < < POV ~> Third-person Duncan and Todd used to compete with and against one another on the US Olympics team until a critical injury put Duncan in a chair for life. Months of rehab, confinement, and solitude are taking a toll on his well-being and his mother steps in, hoping Todd can breathe life back into her once vibrant son. Together Todd and Duncan discover that their friendship is only the foundation to something much stronger and soon they are coaxing one another to be stronger, better, happier in all areas of life, including love. When outside sources begin conspiring against them, they learn they have a strong support network willing to fight alongside them. Todd deserves a gold medal in patience. Duncan was not an easy one to love. He tended to dwell in negativity and doubt quite often and need more than his fair share of reassurances. But the two of them together were endearing. It was nice to see the former couples highlighted now and again. The plot kept me entertained and the writing flowed smoothly. There were some conflicts from outside sources that were mostly handled; however, I’d liked to have known what became of cray-zee Corinna. Predictability was on the low end of moderate for me. While the ending provided a solidly given HEA, I felt like it ended mid-scene… it was SO abrupt and over with. I’m really hoping there will be more books in this series, just so we can hopefully catch up with Duncan and Todd down the road to see if the winter ad ever ran and if it was successful and what became of the racing prospect. Did Duncan gain more clients, did Albert hire him for the proposed expansion? .
