Gemini by Russ Underwood is a passionate and sensual novel with lots of mysterious foreshadowing. I enjoyed the descriptive scenes Underwood paints with his provocative words and sexy backdrops. Giving the reader the feeling of being a fly on the wall, at times, I felt like I was the one that should be blushing during the provoking ambiance of each page I turned. Each character had a great depth to them that was very enjoyable and made the book very hard to put down.
One of my favorite things I loved about Gemini was that its narrator was a male. It is not often do I get to read such an arousing, yet, suspenseful book told from the man’s perspective. It was a nice change from the norm which I fully appreciated and delighted in. Gemini by Russ Underwood is a great book that anyone would take pleasure in reading. I was drawn in from the very first chapter, and completely engaged, and captivated throughout the entire read. A romantic, steamy suspenseful story that always kept me interested and wondering what would happen next! A must read for your hot and sizzling summer book list!
