About this listen

There had been a time I’d been happy - blissfully happy - then a single act of brutality tore Thaddeus Bench from my life. But not from my heart. I never thought I’d see him again. But I did. In a cantina in Mexico. And when he looked over at me with so much hatred in his stare, it pulverized what was left of my heart.

Emerson Pierce was my own personal hell. The agony of her betrayal, still as sharp as it was the day I’d come home to find her gone. I’d spent years doing whatever I could not to think about her. To stop myself from wondering where she was and why she’d left me.

Now, my team needs answers from her to stop a criminal mastermind. And I can’t trust a damn thing that comes out of her pretty mouth. Emerson’s no longer the sweet girl I fell for - she’s the girlfriend of a notorious drug runner and dog fighter. Or, at least that’s what I thought, until her lies unravel and the truth explodes.

Nothing about Emerson was what it seemed. Nothing about our latest mission was easy. But one thing is for sure...I will save Emerson Pierce, even from herself.

So this series is seriously aligning with Susan Stokers latest and greatest Seal Of Protection : legacy. This time Gumby’s story is brought into play.

However, of course we have our own team of erstwhile baddasses to follow, and into the rabbit hole you will fall yet again. A follow on underlying story from the last book, we are still on the hunt for the same baddies but along comes someone from Thad’s background, the woman who owns his heart and the one who got away. And boy could she have not changed more - or so it appears.

A love story following on from heartbreak, one can’t move on from being left behind, the other can’t live with what they have chosen to do since leaving (and spoiler alert….those regrets are not the way round you might think!!!)

Max again (adorable!!) plays a central humanising role in this book applying a fair degree of scepticism followed by a dose of salts and reality in the way only he can. Declan makes me want to cry and I really don’t know why yet….

Emerson is amazing, her quest is endless and most likely doomed for failure yet she pushes on regardless, dying a little more inside each time. Thad is living a happy life, or is he. When the two find each other again the pain of those regrets almost break them, and it’s such a hard and emotional road they go on but when they meet in the middle, it’s so worth it.

Again performed brilliantly by Maxine and Lee, bringing all the emotions out in these characters. When reading this book I wanted to slap Declan (IYKYK the scene) but when listening to it my anger was so much more! A fabulous listen for sure.

Sigh….Kyle here we come
