Publisher's summary

On the trail of a vicious criminal, agent Chance Mackenzie found the perfect bait for his trap: Sunny Miller. So Chance made himself the only man she could trust—and then arranged for her long-missing father to find out about them.

What Chance hadn't foreseen was that Sunny had reasons of her own for hiding from her father—and now Chance's deception had brought them both one step closer to the end of everything they held dear….

Ruined A Perfectly Good Book

This was a good book but when you have a female reader with a SWEET.....SWEET girl voice read it you just ruin the book. Chance was an undercover agent not so sweet person. Reader is ruining the book. Why couldn't you have gotten Dennis Boutsikaris who read all the rest and was wonderful. This reader has just ruined the book. Good God she reads so sweetly. WOW she stated. YUCK.

Good Book

I have wanted this book on audio since I read the paperback. I agree with the other reviewer. Why have a woman do the narration. Why not use Dennis Boutsikaris - he narrated 3 other Mackenzie books, at least that way you would have the same voices. This Narrator may be okay but this was not the book for her. She was not terrible, but if I didn't already love the characters it would have made the experience worse than it had to be.

I was so excited it was on audio I forgot to check to see who the narrator was and was very surprised when it was a female. To have Zane, Chance and Wolfe read by a female; hard to take. The only thing that saved the book is it is a good story and it has the entire family in the book. Those that have followed the Mackenzie family will be happy to revisit the family.

The long wait for this book to finally be on audio was a bit disappointing with the narration, but it left me wanting the story of the Mackenzies to continue. It was fun to see how Chance succumbed to love, marriage and a baby. I know Linda Howard said she didn't think she would do anymore on this series because she couldn't bear to kill off Wolfe or Mary. She is right that would be horrible, but I think there is more to tell without doing that. I am sure she can find another story in this family saga to come up with two or three more books without killing any of the core family members. There seems to be so much more to adventure and tell about the Mackenzies their wives and children.

If you have not listened to the other books you won't be too surprised with the narration, however, you will want to listen to all of the books to get the whole story and understand the family dynamic. It starts with Mackenzie's Mountain. Don't listen to the abridged version to me they left out too much and it changed the story. I read the books and listened to all of them. The unabridged versions are the best unless of course you read the books.

Chance gets even luckier

I’m so glad that Chance gets his own book and I love the parts with the extended Mackenzie family. I really like Sunny’s positivity; her determination to keep moving forward. She exemplifies a maxim I learned growing up: hope for the best, but plan for the worst. So, no matter what happens, you have a plan of action.
There is suspense because Chance insinuates himself into Sunny’s life to try to catch her father; only she is trying to hide from him to stay alive and free.
I cut out two paragraphs of rant to just say that I completely agree, there should NEVER have been a female narrator for this book, and I hope whoever made that decision is no longer allowed anywhere near audio production.
Whether the narrator is Kali Dziuba per the Audible description posting, or Kristin Johanson per the audio introduction, she has a very pleasant voice but should NOT have been used for this job. The right voice for a recording can add to a book when the production is well done.

Chance was a SOB

I enjoyed the previous books in this series, but just couldn’t warm up to Chance. How could Sonny fall in love with him or rather, stay in love with him when he presented a totally false personality to her while she thought she was falling in love? I can see why she fell for his family, but not for him. He never even said he was sorry for getting her shot! Blech to the whole thing. 😡

female narrator did not ruin the story!

I so disagree with a previous review that the female narrator ruined the book. It was a great story that pulled me in to conclude the Mackenzie family series. I didn’t have any problems with enjoying the story.

One of my favorite McKenzie stories

Just love Sunny & Chance’s story. The secrets they both carry. To find each other and survive what life throws at them. One of my favorite McKenzies. How could you not fall in love with them both. 💕

What the heck???

What kind of groveling was that??? He didn’t even try? A few flowers and he said he loved her so it’s all ok?? No thanks I’m pissed as all hell at this book. Good story but rushed ending he didn’t even apologize? And what sort of parents are cool with that? “Yeah son you tricked this woman into having sex with you (basically rape) and then used her as bait all the while she was doing everything in her power to save you. We’re proud of you” ugh gross she didn’t even have one person in her corner what a bunch of bs. She trauma bonded with her kidnapper and not in the good way
