About this listen
Rule Breaker. Troublemaker. Heart Taker.
Needs him like oxygen.
Dany has so many secrets. He’s not on the island by accident, he’s not a nice guy, and he’s using a fake name. He's laying low, but he must have been born under a bad sign, because the very man he’s hiding from walks back into his life.
A new life in a new town seemed like the right decision for Soren. Discovering Dany living on Piedras brings back all the feelings he's tried to forget.
Too bad Dany is just as compelling as he ever was.
Two men from opposite sides of the law: Can they set aside their differences and trust their hearts?
Real Trouble is set in the Veiled Intentions world. Soren and Dany first appear in the Shielded Hearts series (When It Rains). Real Trouble can be listened to as a stand-alone, is dual-POV following our heroes as they fight their way to their HEA, and is the first in the new West Coast Forensics series.

Both MCs were really fun to get to know and the overall story got me hooked on the book from the start.
If you like Elle Keaton's style, this one is a must read!
Narration: Great performance. I liked the voice and the easy to follow performance.
Good book!

With Matt and Niall away on a well-deserved vacation, the island is left in the capable hands of Birdy and the newcomer Soren. They have to deal with a new murder case and new cases of arson. Soren wants to find his HEA with a mysterious new resident of the island while proving to his new bosses that he is the right man for the job. It might be complicated when the person he is interested in, just happens to get mixed up in the new mess they are trying to untangle.
While the book can be read as a standalone, I would definitely recommend reading the Veiled intentions series (the events in Real Trouble happen shortly after the end of book 3) to better enjoy the story, and understand the dynamic between the characters (both residents of Piedras and employees of West Coast Forensics).
It's good to be back on Piedras Island

Soren also wanted a fresh start. Away from the memories – most especially of the man he’s never forgotten. When he sees Danny on Piedras Island, to say he’s shocked would be an understatement.
Anyway… Usually it’s dead bodies turning up on Piedras but this time it’s arson. Fires are abounding and it’s up to Deputy Soren to figure out what’s going on. Danny’s caught up, but he’s not really a suspect – at least to Soren. Danny might’ve run in the past, but it’s obvious he’s trying to set down roots and lighting fires to his places of employment isn’t going to help him. I love that Danny’s tried to make himself better by studying to be a chef and how he wants to make the local hotel’s menu into something special. Cue Cody, the manager, from the last book. I have high hopes he’s going to get an HEA one of these days. Plus it seems Ryder and Shay are in each other’s spheres again. Romance anyone?
The mystery kept me guessing and I enjoyed the story. I can’t wait for the next instalment in the series. And, of course, I have to mention Michael Dean. He’s the perfect narrator for this series and I just adore him. Can’t wait for the next book.
Great start to a new series

Below is what I wrote when I read the book back in June:
I’ve been a huge fan of Elle Keaton’s writing since I read her Accidental Roots series (now called Shielded Hearts). This new series, West Coast Forensics, is loosely connected to her Veiled Intentions series (formerly called Hamarsson & Dempsey) but you don’t need to have read that series to understand and enjoy this new one. Fans of that series, however, will enjoy visiting with familiar characters.
Real Trouble is a seriously hot story; the chemistry between the two main characters is palpable. I’m not going to take time to rehash the excellent blurb or story. I’ll say that this book kept me engaged way past my normal night-owl bedtime and the only thing that kept me from finishing it then was the lack of toothpicks to prop my eyes open. 😊 Immediately upon waking up I dove right back in and didn’t stop until I finished it.
The story has murder, mystery, fantastic characters, a swear jar and a side character I thought would never be feeding that swear jar. The only problem I have with this book is that that next one can’t come out soon enough even though this one does NOT have a cliffhanger.
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.
Loved the ebook, loved the audio even more.
