About this listen

Nominated for SOVAS (Society of Voice Arts and Sciences) Award 2021 - Thriller Category

Ex-SAS soldier Ben Rider falls in love with his enigmatic married boss Sir Nikolas Mikkelsen, but Nikolas is living a lie. A lie so profound that when the shadows are lifted, Ben realises he's in love with a very dangerous stranger. Ben has to choose between Nikolas and safety, but sometimes danger comes in a very seductive package.

I discovered this series just recently, as it has just come to Audio. All eight books are on Kindle Unlimited for those who discovered the Audio first like me. I am just about to start book 8 having switched to KU after the Audible ran out, and I read through the rest back to back on my Kindle. I hope all the books are narrated by Gary Furlong eventually as he does Nik's accent so well.

This series is incredibly complicated and deeply emotional, the two MCs are so totally engrossed in each-other and yet learn something new about one another in each book, despite their long and very intense relationship. The adventures these two have are almost incredible, and yet somehow topical, ranging from tsunami's to fantasy prime time TV series. Nothing is off the table where their family's are concerned, all are quite despicable, with incest and madness featured on both sides, so may not be for some. However, these two adopt people as the series progresses and make their own family of misfits as they bounce from one adventure to the next.

The writing and character building is sublime, and as I listened to the first three books, I was able to then "hear" the MCs in my head for the rest of the series on KU. I love it when a new series finds me, and this one has been my latest discovery and pleasure to read and review.

New to the author and the series, but wow, what a book series, don't expect a HEA as you are left hanging ready for the next book.

After every lie and twist you could ever imagine, Ben still loves Sir Nik, or whoever the man is. You need a lot of quiet time to sit and listen to this book, I didn't want to sleep or do any normal activity whilst listening to this. You get so absorbed.

Incredible narration by Gary Furlong, this is my second book narrated by Gary and each time I'm amazed at how easy it is to listen to a book, clear, concise and he is one of the rare narrators that I don't have to speed up audible. A real pleasure.

Gary Furlong has long been on my list of favorite audiobook performers and boy did he knock this one out of the park. The story is full of emotional scenes and those emotions came through loud and clear due to Gary’s excellent performance. The audiobook is very deserving of its nomination in the thriller category for a SOVAS (Society of Voice Arts and Sciences) award.

This is the first book I’ve read by John Wiltshire and I was absolutely glued to my headphones once I started listening to this and I only stopped, briefly, when real life intervened. I need to let you know that this story does have a bit of a cliffhanger. The series is 8 books long but I’m not sure if it takes that long for the cliffhanger from book one to be resolved. In any case, I knew going in that everything wouldn’t be wrapped up in the first book and I was fine with that. Cliffhangers only bother me when I don’t know one is coming.

The story kept me on the edge of my seat for a lot of it. There were twists and turns I never saw coming and there are a lot of hot as fire sexy scenes; I thought my headphones were going to melt in a couple of places. 😊

I’m looking forward to listening to the remaining books in this series.

A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.

Trilling and suspenseful! Fantastic performance!
