Confession: I almost didn’t read Starving Hearts because of the cover. It’s not really my style - but not one to judge a book only by its cover, I read the about-the-book blurb and decided to give it a shot.
More than the simple romance I expected based on the blurb, Starving Hearts features mystery, suspense, and drama, with a hearty dose of the issue of slavery’s abolition, in its plotline. It starts a little slowly and picks up its pace by the second half, becoming quite an interesting historical read with a fascinating villain to dislike. However, I found myself unable to really feel connected with protagonists Annette and Peter as the book’s events occurred, which left me a bit disappointed at the end.
Still, I don't regret reading Starving Hearts. I think Janine Mendenhall has great potential as an author, and though I didn’t wholly love this particular book, I’m interested to see where the story goes in the next Triangular Trade Trilogy book, Never Past Hope.
