Hard Evidence: I-Team Series, Book 2

By: Pamela Clare

Narrated by: Kaleo Griffith

After the murder of a teenage girl, a mysterious man in a black leather jacket was seen lurking near the crime scene. Investigative reporter Tessa Novak has him in her sights as the culprit.

That man was Julian Darcangelo, an undercover FBI agent working with the Denver police. He's closing in on the trail of a human trafficker and killer. Tessa's accusations could blow his cover, and he wants her off the investigation.

But just as Tessa has made Julian a target of interest, she is now a target of the killer. And as they are forced to trust each other, their physical attraction escalates as intensely as the threat from a ruthless murderer who wants to see both of them dead...

Critic reviews

"Calling on her own experiences, reporter turned author Clare adds a realistic edge to her suspenseful writing. . . . Clare definitely seems to have found her niche." ( Romantic Times)

As always, a story that draws you in...

It is the health care provider in me that has to point out that when a captor has a victim down on the ground, then I don't know how the captor can also be putting their knee in the "solar plexus" of their victim. The solar plexus is located in the upper abdomen, an area of nerves behind the stomach protected by the spine posteriorly. Okay, enough anatomy already.

Aside from that tiny, pendantic and unimportant detail of anatomy, I love ALL of Pamela Clare' s books were the ones she wrote about the historic past. "Defiant", "Surrender", "Untamed" and my best loved "Ride the Fire" is on my bookshelf right now and has been re-read many times. Although the modern books are not my favorite, I look forward to anything this author writes. I can't help but hope she will consider more tales with the rich historical detail and vivid imagination of her first publications however.

Outstanding

Would you listen to Hard Evidence again? Why?

I would absolutely listen to Hard Evidence again. I loved the Kaleo's portrayal of the character's.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the whole book. There wasn't one part that stood out more than another.

Have you listened to any of Kaleo Griffith’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, I've not experienced Kaleo's work before but I will look for him in the future.

A Man That Knows How to Work It!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

good story with a bit of mystery. Very investigative type of story line. Dialogue better than average.

What did you like best about this story?

Great reader, Kaleo Griffith....whoa what a great sexy reading voice. He is making this series.

Which scene was your favorite?

when the 3 men paint the Trim, and know how to work it. Coke commercial move over.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

our hero, is as sexy as they get. Ms Clare knows how to write 'em.

Any additional comments?

You do not have to read in order as they stand alone. The friends names link the stories, but the characters really do not. Read the summery and reviews to pick. I am getting all of them as the reader is so good.

Excellent romantic suspense novel.

This is my second Pamela Clare novel. She again wrote a compelling romantic suspense story centred around a covert and treacherous criminal investigation. Her protagonists started out as worthy opponents and she carefully developed their relationship from enemies with sizzling chemistry, to lovers. The crime(s) the hero and heroine investigated from their differing perspectives and the dangers they faced were edge-of-your-seat stuff. The love story which was passionate and respectful, flowed naturally and built with the increase in danger and suspense. The sexy times were hot and tasteful without overwhelming the story. Pamela Clare is a class act. I am very impressed by her writing.

HARD EVIDENCE is part of a series about a group of newspaper reporters. While this is book 2 of the I-Team Series, it is a stand-alone and you don’t need to read the first one to enjoy this - but I thoroughly recommend both if you love the romantic suspense genre.

I have only heard Kaleo Griffith narrate for Pamela Clare, but he is wonderful, being able to sympathetically portray the heroine, the hero and all the other characters. I loved his voice and narration style. He definitely contributed to my love of this novel.

The narrator did a terrible voice for Tessa. Kinda ruined the story.

Worst southern accent ever. I’ve listened to many book narratives where the male narrator does a great woman’s voice but this one made me cringe.
