About this listen

In a battle of wills, stubbornness could cost you your life.

Elliot McKenzie is the king of reinvention. Five years after losing his job, his lover, and almost going to prison, his self-help program, Charmed Life, is more successful than he'd ever dreamed. He thinks he's put his sordid past firmly behind him, until he starts receiving cryptic threats, and realizes it might not be as over as he'd hoped.

Security expert Lennox West has been lost since a deadly skirmish in Afghanistan led to his forced retirement from the Army. His PTSD makes helping his ex raise their daughter a challenge. When his ex's sister asks him to set her boss up with a security system, Lennox isn't expecting anyone like Elliot McKenzie - a man who captures his attention, and makes him feel relaxed for the first time since leaving the service.

But Elliot is dangerously stubborn. Even as the threats against him escalate, he refuses to involve the police, and Lennox fears that stubbornness could kill him. A battle of wills ensues that brings them closer to each other than either man expected. But if the threats turn real, they might not live long enough to get their future together.

Enjoyable Story that is well written with likeable characters and good world building. The narration was very good as well.

Enjoyable Story

Mr Russo's narration is as per usual superb and the reason I chose the book. The story is marginal not helped the muddling start and poorly defined characters and amd dialogue. I expected Charmed Life to be existential, revelatory; a reflection of the man who runs it with intelligence. His perving on Lennox immediately, with no stealth, subtlety, skills he would've had to have and use to survive as a con, makes this insta-love, insta-sex, my least favourite trope. Where is the hunt, where is the building of the relationship and story? It's better to travel than to arrive. I couldn't summon the interest to continue after the first hour.
