This is the second one I have listen to from this author and
narrator I must say I enjoyed this one much more than the last. What is filled
between the pages you are a little bit of everything from secrets, drama, hot
steamy passion, revenge, lies, action, excitement, humor, control, cute and so
much more. What really made this book for me is the narrations which was great
and the plot that kept moving leaving you guessing and twisting around to some
surprises.
Ms. Stephens narration was outstanding from her wonderful
character voices to her powerful emotions. I just adore the little girl she was
just so darling with the narrator pulling off a delightful character. Her tones
are right on the money from pain, fear, excitement, sorrow and lost as well as
delight and passion. There was no background noise or any volume change. If breaks
were taken I could not tell. She has strong male voices as well as a mixture of
women tones from strong right down to doubt, weak and standing her ground. Vy
was a mixture of so many emotions the narrator pulled this off well. This is
the second audio I have listened to of this narrator so much better than the
last. She puts herself into this with fire, passion along with a wonderful
mixture of the pull and tug each character must go through. Her males are
tough, hateful at times, jealous and sometimes a pain in the behind. She really
makes you feel each emotion the character goes through. At times making you
chuckle and laugh. I can’t wait to listen to more of her work.
The author really pulled off a winner with some very
powerful emotions, touchy issues and one cute darling little girl with so much wit.
I loved how she turned the table on the adults, hiding what she needed to but
coming forth if need be. She is one smart cookie that is grown beyond her age. I
loved how she pulled off these characters really making them feel real. Just
when you think oh my this is bad she pulls them through spinning a tale that
really holds you captivated. Vy is strong, weak, lively, sad, broken, but when
she needs to be she stands her ground. The author pulled off one amazing
character with Vy.
Caleb comes off as a
tough military man but inside he is so giving and gives so much more than most
men would. He knows he is a live because of Vy and repays her for her kindness.
When he should have walked away he stayed making sure they were safe. There are
times you wonder if any of them will be safe. When will the good guys come in
and take out the bad ones. He really needs no help he is a one man army all to
his self.
I loved how the plot plays out, the buildup of the romance
and how the author shows indifference throughout the story. There were times I held
my breath, others when I just hung my head as well as time I laughed so hard. I
had trouble putting down this audio I just needed to see the next scene and
then the next. I was so invested I started yelling at the characters. A few
times my hands went into fits and other times my eye grew very cold and hard.
The only thing that would have made this better was to have seen how her family
took the news about how her life had turned out. Beside that I could find no
fault with this author at all. She really wrote a story that holds your
interest, keeps you invested with exciting thrilling action, passion, as well
as the unexpected that really throw you. I am so looking forward to more of her
work.

Summary
The whir of the helicopter drowned out every other noise around Caleb, even
his own thoughts. It was a welcome respite. An intricate web of tactical
planning had filled the recesses of his mind for the past 24 hours, but it was
time. No more planning. It was another routine operation; go in, grab the bad
guys and get out. He knew each move he was about to make, and every single step
the seven men sitting next to him would take. He was sure of it; it was his
job. He was responsible for the safety and well-being of every man in his
squad, and simultaneously, for the success of the mission at hand. "Five minutes, Lieutenant," the man seated in the pilot seat hollered back to him, breaking up the monotonous whir.
Every man around him straightened his spine and their muscles grew taught. It wasn't fear that had them at the ready, it was anticipation; the same anticipation that surged through his veins. In four minutes and 39 seconds, they'd be on the ground. In 15 minutes and nine seconds, they'd be in position, a mile and a half away from the landing zone. Within 30 minutes, their task would be complete: suspects apprehended, intel gathered and building secured. The 2,000 kilograms of cocaine housed in the building wasn't his problem, only the men selling it and their list of buyers. "Just get those bastards, Caleb," his S.O. had told him. "We'll clean up their mess later." In other words, another team would be deployed to round up the drugs once the area was secured.
