A refreshing suspense

It's so nice to have a heroine with a back bone!

This is a fast paced book, that keeps on track throughout. Both main and secondary characters were well built and described. I look forward to hearing more of this series!

I enjoyed the narration, however, Stella's narration was a little breathy and once I heard it, I couldn't unhear it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Love this new series!!

I love any new series by Anna Hackett and this is a great start to a new series. We first got a sense of the Norcross team in the Team 52 series (so good, read those too!) and the team is really awesome. I loved the characters, Rhys and Haven as well as Rhy's brothers and sister. They were really cool overall and I'm excited to read Gia's story (the Norcross sister)- she seems really tough.

I have to say that Haven had some really great parts and I loved to see her coming to her own towards the end but I did think that she was a weaker heroine than some of Anna Hackett's other heroines (I'm spoiled because Anna Hackett writes the best heroines- tough and smart).

Overall though, I can't wait to continue to get more entrenched in this world!

i first read the ebook and then listened to the audiobook. Teddy Hamilton is perfect for the Norcross men. (of course, he is one of my favorite narrators so well, I love most things he's in). His ability to modulate his voice and his tough slightly gravelly voice is really just great for this series. Stella Bloom is also amazing- She also is able to play many characters easily and I really loved the narration for this great start to the series.

Not a typical Hackett book !

Bloom and Hamilton dose another brilliant job !

If you want pornography with a thin storyline this might be something for you ?
I think Hackett has been influenced by Corona to be this horny !!!
I have 16 Hackett books and they all have some sex scenes, they have always been placed so they were easy to skip, if you wanted to get on with the story but not in this book.
If you want a good story don’t waste your money !!!

Anna does it again.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the first book in Anna's steamy new series with outstanding narration by Teddy and Stella.

They have done an excellent job getting under the skin of the men and women of Norcross Security.

The action is fast paced and the men hot enough to melt a Kindle. I look forward to listening to the next book and learning what Anna has in store for her heroes.

Well done Anna you have proved yet again why you are one of my favourite authors. Keep up the good work.

so full of action.

really good story line, it kept me gripped from start to finish, I'm on to the next one now.

Damn it was entertaining!

It wasn’t the book of the year, but damn it was entertaining! Especially as an audiobook, as both narrators are extremely talented and bring life to the characters. I loved it.

The suspense part of the story was gripping, with multiple twists and turns. I’d have liked to see more about the investigation–since it’s in the title–but I was never bored. There’s a lot of action and, for once, it doesn’t come only from the male characters.

Haven, even as a typical damsel in distress, isn’t weak. She has a tremendous amount of courage–she’s scared but still tries to save other people, by any way she can. That makes the little reverse power play with alpha male Rhys Norcross even sexier.

Here we have a regular instalove story. The connection between Haven and Rhys is mostly depicted through the characters’ feelings. I didn’t see it. But when they actually do the deed, oh my, what a chemistry! It’s extra swoony and steamy.

As the first book in the series, there may have been a bit too much time dedicated to the introduction of future characters who don’t have much to do here. And I’d have liked for Haven’s relationship with Haven to be a bit more explicit–I didn’t really see a strong bond between two alleged best friends. But I still can’t wait to read or to listen to about the rest of the Norcross family.

Fantastic Story & Narration🎧 A Captivating Ride!

I enjoyed this book immensely, it is a great, action packed romantic suspense. The story drew me right in, grabbing my attention and captivating it straight to the end. The characters are nicely developed, easy to like and connect with. After catching her ex with another woman Haven McKinney left Miami and her life behind. Getting away as far from him as possible she moved to west coast. She landed a dream job, a curator in a privately owned museum. She loves her boss Easton Norcross and has become good friends with his sister became good friends with her bosses sister, Gia. Easton also has two brothers, they are all badasses and former military. Vander owns Norcross Security and Investigations and Rhys works there as well. Haven thought Vander was the scary brother but Rhys scared her in other ways, she is attracted to him but he is a player and a heartbreaker and off limits because he is her best friends brother. And she has sworn off men. Rhys is attracted to Haven and notices her every time she is in the room. He was furious when he saw how roughed up she was by the art thieves, I loved how protective he got with her. Haven has a feistiness about her, she is her own person and not one to be told what to do. So while Norcross Security investigates the theft she does a little investigating herself, which winds up getting her in more trouble. She sure had a knack for both getting into trouble and attracting it. This fast paced story with interesting storylines that are cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, angst, twists and turns, action, thrilling suspense, heartfelt and emotional moments and a hot romance. Anna Hackett, thank you for this great story, I am looking forward to what comes next in this series.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Stella Bloom and Teddy Hamilton were perfect cast to bring these characters to life. They did an awesome job portraying the characters, humanizing them, giving each their own voice and personality, as well as heart and attitude. Stella Bloom’s take on Haven was spot on, she took the role and made it her own. Teddy Hamilton did the same with Rhys. Both were amazing with the secondary characters as well. They are talented narrators and entertaining storytellers, it is always a pleasure to listen to their work. Thank you for another awesome listen🎧

Brilliant

Really enjoyed listening to this the storyline was good and the characters drew me in.

Looking forward to book 2

Intrigue, robbery, explosions and romance. This book covers it all and in a great way. Narration was good on both sides but you really can't go wring with Stella Bloom. Im looking forward to the next book to come out.

Absolutely brilliant

This book was exactly what I needed. The leading lady is hilarious. The characters are fantastic, they have great personalities, I definitely want more from these. With an exceptional performance from both Stella and Teddy.
