About this listen

There’s nothing like getting caught in the middle of an FBI raid to change your life....

That’s what happens to Gabrielle Carpino. Just when she forced herself to move on with life after tragedy touched her family, she finds herself thrown into a tailspin so swift, she can’t find her bearings.

Being cuffed and patted down by Special Agent Jude Ortiz is enough to wake anyone up. With his dark chocolate eyes and commanding ways, Gabby can't resist. And between battling criminals, flooded basements, fantasy football drafts, and her crazy Italian family, Jude also finds himself unable to resist her charms.

That doesn’t mean he isn’t wrestling feelings he hasn't allowed in years. Nightmares that are his reality have paralyzed him from living a full life. Yet, he can’t help himself when it comes to her, and Jude moves in to watch over Gabby.

But just when life seems to be settling down, demons surface from the past. Horrific ones that carry a vengeance so evil, no one saw them coming.

I love a good romantic suspense so while there were definitely elements I enjoyed from this book, there were also a few aspects that fell a bit short for me. The main plot definitely became overloaded with numerous amounts of subplots that IMO was unnecessary and disrupted the flow of the story. This led to some uneven pacing, and I felt certain sections could have been more concise. I will continue with the series. Great job from the narrators.

I'm so used to reading the wild , crazy romances sp this was slow, but that's not necessarily a negative. I did think it was suspicious how quickly Jude became fixated on the girl, so when his past came out I expected it, but he was very calm even then.

Unfortunately I liked the start of the story but soon became very predictable. I fast forwarded through chapters to begin with but soon realised I couldn’t even bring myself to finish it. Shame as if they had kept with the original storyline I probably would have listened until the end. Narrators were good though.

First title I've read by this author and description held promise but couldn't finish it.
The hero fell in love with the heroine on the first day. he moved himself into her house and was talking like they were getting married after only knowing her a couple of days.
there was no concerns about getting involved with a person from one of his cases and some of the stuff he'd say just came across cringeworthy to me. it felt like there was a whole chunk missing of character development, where they developed feelings for each other.
can't decide if it was the book itself or the female narrators bad male voice that made me not warm to him as character. might be a book better to have read than listened to.

OK but not great
