Length: 18 hrs and 7 mins

Publisher's summary

From Wall Street Journal and Amazon Charts bestselling author Brittney Sahin, comes a sizzling love story between a morally gray hero who doesn’t believe in second chances, and the woman who will make him question everything.

Five years ago, a phone call forever changed my life as I listened to my wife being murdered half a world away.

Going rogue from the CIA, I became a man feared by everyone as I sought vengeance. Lies she’d told and secrets she’d kept, pushed me over an even darker edge.

With nothing to lose, I became unstoppable. A devil among men. Until justice was served, or so I’d thought it’d been . . .

Working alongside a team of veterans, trying to find my way back to the man I’d once been, another life-altering call came, drawing me back to the dark world I’d left behind.

The assignment should’ve been straightforward. Rescue a brilliant scientist working on a classified government project and save the nation from an attack while I was at it. But nothing in my life was ever simple.

When the missing scientist turned out to be the same off-limits woman I’d been obsessing over for months, saving her life was the easy part.

Not corrupting her in the process was the challenge. Especially when that gorgeous woman, innocent and untainted by the evils of the world, begged me to do exactly that.

Our past was complicated. The chemistry between us, undeniable. The desire to claim her as my own and never let go, unbearable.

My team may have been up against our most formidable threat ever, but there I was about to do something I never did. Lose my control.

Author’s Note: This is Carter Dominick’s book in the Falcon Falls Security Series. This romantic suspense novel may be listened to as a standalone.

Great story and narration

Once again I was lucky enough to get an advance copy. To see the total change in all that Carter has been portrayed in previous books was amazing. The career choice his wife forced him to do and her manipulations. Who would ever picture Carter taking selfies! Diana broke down all his walls. And I love that fork scene at the Sapphire is still going strong! Brittney Sahin has once again weaved a great story with twists and turns and her usual suspense and love stories. Love when Brittney has Connor Crais and Ava Lucas. They do such a great job of bringing her characters to life.

The Best Morally Gray Hero. Ever.

Connor Crais and Ava Lucas did a phenomenal job bringing Carter and Diana to "life" in this reading of The Fallen One. I love this couple so much and the narration really brings your heart into it more; you truly feel some of Carter's struggles in it and you get a visceral reaction to many of those moments throughout the book. Honestly, to-date my favorite morally gray character I've ever read. Thank you for writing the perfect HEA for Carter.

Sooooooooo good

I truly wish all your books were this long. This was an absolutely fantastic story never lost interest throughout the entire listen . Narration was on point. Mr. Crais did an absolutely amazing.Carter. absolutely love this series. Will definitely be one of my go to’s to relisten but have to say Jesse will always be my favorite. Thank you for an amazing story.

An Absolutely Extraordinary Experience

It’s no secret that Brittney Sahin is an absolutely brilliant writer.  She weaves words and stories with extraordinary power. And she once again wielded her talent with Carter Dominick’s story of The Fallen One. He’s been a long time coming, and he did not disappoint!!!

Carter is a multifaceted man. He’s former elite military, former CIA, by the book. He’s also a man that went rogue when the life he thought he knew spiraled out of control. We now see a man that’s trying to right the world’s wrongs even if he is a bit morally grey in his administrations.  He’s definitely even more of an enigma as we’ve gotten to know his whole story. 

Carter has fought demons from his past. They’ve made him the man he is today.  He sees himself as broken with no hope of redemption.  He’s just a man existing.  But when a piece of his past comes calling, he can’t refuse to answer the call, even though that puzzle piece is a beautiful woman that he shouldn’t be thinking of. There’s just something about Diana that he can’t resist. Every single meeting these two have had has held significance neither anticipated. 

Diana is political royalty and an exceptional scientist in her own right. So much so, she’s become a target and possible political leverage. Cue Carter to save the woman he can’t seem to forget or escape.

These two are brought together and have to solve a political problem that could cause irrevocable harm to the world, all while fighting their attraction, their pasts, and personal fears.

Carter captured my heart long ago. And now I’m so invested in this man finding his way home to happiness, forgiveness, and a chance at love. And finally getting answers to what made this man into the dark shadow he had become was an incredible journey.  Add in a furry sidekick and our Falcon Fall team and well, this is some of Sahin’s best work, which says a lot since she delivers nothing but perfection! 

The narration duo of Connor Crais and Ava Lucas was outstanding. These two just came together effortlessly. Crais brought Carter to life for me. From his irritation and anger, to his desperation and fear as well as his falling for Diana. And Lucas gave us one fierce heroine. They transitioned to other characters without missing a beat. I highly recommend this listening experience!

I love these books

I had been waiting for Carter's book for so long. Ive read all of the books and I can't wait for the next book to be released. it'll be sad for the end of the series but I'm sure we'll see the Falcon Falls group in books to come.

such a great book

READ THIS BOOK! It is sexy, spicy, emotional, heart warming. Connor Crais is amazing. he is the best. Ava Lucas was fine. she reads kind of slow and makes me tired at times. other than that, read this book. I loved the length. so much detail. I loved how far Carter came. very full story.

The narrators bring this fabulous book to life!

I waited for Carter's story for what seemed like forever, and was the wait ever worth it! Brittney Sahin has outdone herself...again!

I would recommend reading/listening to ALL of the Falcon Falls books in order.

Gahhh Carter!!! My main squeeze

•Narrator thoughts:
Connor Crais and Ava Lucas. They did a great job! this book was a girthy one. nothing better than being able to listen to these 2 for over 12 hours. They brought Diana and Carter to life!

• Thoughts:
My good night!! I knew this character (Carter Dominick) was going to wreck me! Guess what.. he did!! In the best possible way, of course. Lol. He was someone that I could say was probably the most anticipated character for Brittney to write. She did not disappoint when it came to Carter. Within 10 percent of this book, my heart was absolutely broken. He was a character when he was introduced in Chading Fortune. You just knew he was this character that had so much depth and had soo much love to give. The events that shaped him, his past, and how he is such a guarded soul. He didn't deserve what happened to him in his 30s. He definitely went through his challenges. I am fully going on the record that Carter is an incredible character and is book husband material. He has easily claimed a top spot for me among Brittney's characters. I know I have said much about the MFC I will say, I loved loved loved her! (Since this is an early review) I am keeping the MFC anonymous to not spoil it for some of Brittney's readers. Their chemistry and his mouth with her are top notch! I love how she embraces his devil amd his angel! She new him in away that he deserved. She loved him in the way he definitely needed and accepted him without fault! Soulmates!
The author truly did a magnificent job with this book, I am positively smitten with The Fallen One, and I can't wait for the rest of the book Lover World to enjoy this gem!

Carter's story does not disappoint

Wow! I highly recommend this action-packed, romantic thriller where secrets and lies are more common than truths.

Broody, morally gray hero - sweet, sunshine heroine, slow burn with a low-medium heat level, a story that spans 13 years, a couple with an undeniable bond/connection (fated), age-gap, thick (>600 pages)

Carter's dog, Dallas, was an amazing side character alongside all our favorite Falcon teammates, new characters, and some surprise cameos from other series.

finally!

I finally listened to a book that didn't have an overly jealous or stupid female lead character! and man. was that refreshing! made the book and experience 100000 times better!
