Summary

Life has not always been kind to Shannon Dupree. On the outside, he's carefree and fun loving, but when it comes to his past, he's evasive and secretive. Running away from emotionally bereft parents at just 15, Shannon escapes life with them but steps into the waiting arms of the devil.

Rory Landers is a rising star at the Bureau. His personal life, however, is nothing to write home about. He hopes to take his limited relationship with Frank Moore to the next level when they finally solve the Langford murder case, but that doesn't turn out as planned. On the plus side, he meets free-spirited college senior Shannon Dupree.

Rand Davis finds himself 40-something and single when his partner of more than a decade is unfaithful. Taking over the Cold Case Squad frees up some of his time, and Rand welcomes newfound friendships within the Langford-Moore family circle. He thinks relationships are not in the cards for him until he meets an agent with an attitude and a vivacious blond that make him want so much more. 

Past, present, pain, and suffering collide, ushering in the possibility of a life and love worth fighting for. Although their personalities couldn't be more different, their three hearts beat the same. Shannon, Rory, and Rand learn the definition of love, commitment, and strength, and if they allow themselves, the trio will find all that and more - in each other.  

NOTE: This is the sequel to Survivor. The stories should be heard in order.

Throuple, What's not to like

This is a continuation from Survivor, we meet new characters, and some of the previous characters crop up.

Shannon, Rory and Rand are great characters and come together after a while. I liked the story and the background of the characters.

If you want a book that has no hurt and past, this book isn't for you, but if you want characters with flaws pasts and are basically in need of love and nurture, then pick this book and enjoy the whole series.

Nick J Russo did a great job of the audio as usual. However, I did listen to it at 1.25 on audible.

Another good romantic thriller!

Shannon has turned his life around after escaping an abusive relationship, but a bunch of other guys who look very similar to him are missing or dead. FBI Agents investigating the case, Rory and Rand, love to hate each other, but they have feelings for each other and for Shannon. I’m always fascinated by how thruples form and work out their relationship, but I felt this story took a few shortcuts. Most people would assume that they shouldn’t try to get between a couple so Rand’s actions were highly unusual and could be seen as encouraging Rory to cheat on Shannon - at the very least it was sexual harassment of a workplace subordinate. Shannon appeared to fall in instalove with Rand when he saw where the cards were falling, it seemed too neat. The timeline of this second book was a little confusing because it started midway through the first book rather than picking up the tale at the end of book one. Aside from all that, TM Smith has produced another good romantic thriller: the serial killer / hurt / comfort story was engaging, creepy, and unfolded well, especially Shannon’s backstory. 🎧 Nick J Russo narrated well although his character voicing didn’t always make it clear who was speaking. Authors should avoid character names starting with the same letter or sounding similar for audiobook listeners.

Great Menage Romance & Mystery - NJR is Fantastic!

I'm so glad I got back into this series. I loved Survivor and if you haven't listened to that one, you'll be okay doing this as a standalone. Though I do recommend it, that's a wonderful story.

TM Smith writes a great menage story in Lover. It's a very compelling romance, with a heart-breaking hurt/comfort tale and a very happy ending.

Nick J. Russo gives one of his best performances ever in this series - I highly recommend doing this one in audio!

better than book one

A very economicaly written novel, with every thought and feeling that could be missed, skipped. When the plot thickens even the spoken sentences exclude every word thats not needed to tell the story.
Fastly getting from point a to b, results ins a lot of coincidences and plot holes.
This is made worse by the narration. The chosen voices are ok, but quickly and lightly the narrator glosses over a lot of necessary pauses and emotions.

as great as the ebook

The story is always full stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. Nick J Russo is one of the top 5 narrators for me, I can listen without break and have no problems to follow.
I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

Murder/Mystery and Romance

An enjoyable story that follows on from Book 1 and includes characters introduced there. The author balances the murder mystery/serial killer plot with the romance and weaves them skilfully together. I liked how the threesome develops steadily and how the guys gradually work things out.

On the whole, the author’s writing style makes the story easy to follow. Nick’s narration and character portrayal are spot-on as always.

Brilliant continuation

Story: Wow! Survivor set the target for this series at a very high level and I was anxious to see if Lover holds up. Any donuts were totally unnecessary! This story is equally good, if not better! Both the romantic and criminal plot very well executed and brilliantly told! Loved it and couldn’t tear myself away from it. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Narration: As always with Nick J. Russo, the narration was brilliant and all the voices easily discernible. An awesome audiobook for an awesome story.

MMM

Shannon came to Texas a young and broken boy escaping an abusive older lover. Years later he falls for FBI agent Rory and a happy couple they make. A case with the Detective working a Cold case throws Rand into the mix. He is falling for both men. The Cold case turns out to be related to Shannons ex lover and the past and present entwine, bringing these 3 men to realise that 3 can love just the same as 2. Wonderfully written and performed. Highly recommend
