About this listen

After witnessing a mob hit, surgeon Jack Francisco is put into protective custody to keep him safe until he can testify. A hitman known only as D is blackmailed into killing Jack, but when he tracks him down, his weary conscience won't allow him to murder an innocent man. Finding in each other an unlikely ally, Jack and D are soon on the run from shadowy enemies.

Forced to work together to survive, the two men forge a bond that ripens into unexpected passion. Jack sees the wounded soul beneath D's cold, detached exterior, and D finds in Jack the person who can help him reclaim the man he once was. As the day of Jack's testimony approaches, he and D find themselves not only fighting for their lives...but also fighting for their future. A future together.

The story is a little bit predictable but that didnt make it less enjoyable. The performance however conveyed the characters really well and made them seem real. I think this book is one of my new favourites. One thing I enjoyed about the story was that the sex scenes werent extremely graphic and their relationship was built on communication and feelings for each other instead of the over passionate detailed sex scenes you find in other gay romances novels that take the life out the characters a bit. if i had to describe the book in one word it would be endearing

Loved it, narrators voice has a real drawl to it fitting 'D' s' character so well. Story line was good, slow to start so stick with it, loved the way 'D' wrestles with himsrlf over the relationship, humour so downplayed but snarky.

The story premise is good and the characters are likeable. The narration was good though not to my taste.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

No hesitation! Great story with loads of twists, lovely romantic aspect to the story as well. Alan Smith did a brilliant job of telling the story. Having read the book as well, his voice for D was perfect. All the main characters had a different voice and personality. Really well done Alan!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Zero at the Bone?

When Jack first held D's hand in the garden. The first 'hint' of feelings toward each other.

Which character – as performed by Alan Smith – was your favourite?

Difficult to choose between Jack or D. But... D has the edge. He came across as complex and deep.
