My praise for this book cannot remain "Unspoken!"


Dee Henderson has outdone herself again in her latest thriller.  It was very hard to anticipate anything in this book, as Ms. Henderson keeps the reader guessing until the end.  As usual, I was unable to put this book down until I had read the last word.  

Unspoken is the story of Bryce and Charlotte.  Bryce Bishop is a vintage coin dealer.  Charlotte Graham comes to him with a business proposition that quickly turns into a major acquisition.  Bryce knows that there is more to Charlotte from the first, but with her past she has a hard time letting people get through to her private life.  She has a few people she lets close, but with very good reason.  Bryce realizes almost immediately that he wants to be one of those people; however, unwrapping Charlotte is like unwrapping a roll of vintage coins.  Careful planning and much patience have to be used to make sure the coins and the wrapping aren't damaged.  Of course, one never knows what will be found in a roll of coins, and Charlotte is no different.  What Bryce expects may not be what Bryce gets.  Ms. Henderson does a fantastic job of showing how Bryce "unwraps" Charlotte to discover what is at her very center and helping her discover her real value.  

The book is a MUST-read for anyone who has read and enjoyed any of Dee Henderson's books in the past.  It is also a must-read for anyone who has not read one of her books.  If you like suspense with romance mixed in, then this book would be an excellent read for you.  I must warn you though, once you get started, don't expect to put the book down anytime soon.  It hooks you from the first and does not let you go.  You will not want to put the book down for the fear that you might miss something important.   I know.  What will you miss by putting a book down for the night, but it is SO good and intense that you will not want to put it down.

This book can be read as a stand-alone book, but there are characters from Full Disclosure in this book as well.  If you haven't read that book yet, you will want to read it as well.
