About this listen

Sex crimes Detective Aiden Carlisle is slowly getting used to being in a committed relationship with Dawn Kinsley - a relationship that isn't always easy since Dawn is not only a psychologist but also a former victim in one of Aiden's cases. Aiden's private and professional lives collide when Dawn's newest patient gets in trouble with the law. Will she be able to stay objective enough to solve the case without pushing Dawn away?

The same case also throws Deputy District Attorney Kade Matheson's well-ordered life into chaos. In the last few years, Kade has taken case files and law books, not lovers, to bed. She has been focused on her career, but now the case forces her to finally face her attraction to women. She suddenly finds herself with two secret admirers, but which one is more dangerous - the threat to her life or to her heart?

Contains mature themes.

Although I though the first book was amazing I found this one even better. It was easy to listen to and easy to like the characters. But I still couldn’t stop hoping for a different outcome of partners! A+C would have been the best!

Better than the first

Really good listen, quite sad/horrific in parts but the thread of loyalty, determination and love makes up for it. The 'good guys', are decent, hardworking people. The SAD team are dedicated and serious when they need to be, funny and loyal at other times.
I especially like that the author had wove the two MC's from the first book into this and we get to find out how 'they end up' (no weak epilogues thank goodness)
Kade and Del continue this saffic drama to good effect, with a good storyline.
The 'third' and final book in the series a short story really is included.
I appreciate that Jae is in touch with her audience's need for complete storylines by threading her characters into sequels, so we get to know how the characters fair down the line (Jae had done this with other 'series')!
AC is not usually my 'go to' narrator but she gets it right in these books (probably because Aiden is a soft butch character and AC's 2nd MC always has a butch vibe regardless of the description)
The series is in the plus catalogue so win win !

Really good....

Great second book with these characters....I hope Jae writes a third book! Really well narrated.
Jae is an expert at telling a story of a slow burn!

Brilliant storyline

Combination of Jae & Abby Craden is spectacular. Great 2nd book in the series showing progression of the characters and their relationships!

Must Read!

Abby Craden is a fabulous narrator. A great range of voices from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. My favourite characters are Del and Cady! I love the imaginative way the author has woven together the stalking and Del’s growing affection. But the whole book, it’s pace is perfect for me- and what a lovely surprise - a novella as an encore!

Great characters, real humour and fantastic performance
