Review ~ Inarticulate by Eden Summers

eARC received via the author in exchange for an honest review

Release Date: September 12th 2016

Publisher: Self-published

Description:
He’s silent—but his touch speaks louder than words.
At first sight, Savannah is drawn to the harsh appeal of a man who refuses to talk to her. Keenan’s hard stare is arrogant and unapologetic. The quirk of his sensuous lips is cocky and in control.

But there’s more. There’s something deeper he’s trying to hide behind those steely grey eyes—a slight hint of vulnerability which captures her intrigue.

She’d been warned, told that his silence hides a myriad of lies capable of affecting her career and relationships with loved ones. Only she can't help herself. Testing Keenan's defenses is an addiction she can't deny.

Falling in lust is easy. Learning his secrets comes with a price. The cost? Her broken heart.

My Opinion

I'm not sure what to make of this book. I've followed this author for awhile, but for some reason I've never read a book by her. When I was emailed with the offer to review Inarticulate, the blurb captured my interest and I couldn't wait to start.

I will be honest and say I didn't know if I would get to the end of this book at points. I considered giving up more than once and marking it as DNF, but I stuck with it as something about the story intrigued me. The reason I wanted to give up at points has nothing to do with the story or the author's writing. The book is beautifully written with a unique story line. It's not normal to find a book where one of the main characters is mute. It was one of the reasons this intrigued me so much. I thought the author dealt with it and created the characters well. However, this was also the reason I struggled. My personal tastes lean towards books that include a lot of speech rather than be text heavy. With Keean's lack of speech it created a dense book with little interaction verbally. This isn't a bad thing, it's just not my tastes.

Overall, even though it wasn't completely my kind of read I can appreciate what the author has created and believe many will enjoy it. Something about it kept me reading despite my interests, so it's definitely a good read.
