Resumen del Editor

Calvin Blake—He has a body that makes women fall to their knees, a smile that promises forbidden pleasure—but only for one night. He makes no promises to the women who share his bed, except that they will leave it satiated and exhausted. His enemies underestimate him, which is their first mistake. Their second is turning their backs on the lethal danger harnessed inside him. He allows no one inside his head or his heart. Not his team members at Eidolon, not his enemies, not the willing women who warm his bed. Until her.

Grace Paxton—Her smile makes men want to unravel the mystery of the beautiful yet elusive woman. They crave the feel of her skin, the taste of her lips. However, her smile hides a secret. She’s the heiress to a multimillion-dollar fortune. She’s also a member of Zenobi, the group of female assassins trying to right wrongs done against women.

Blake is shocked when Pax comes to him, asking for help to prove her father is a murderer. She’s asking for the one thing he can’t give her. Blake walks away until someone makes it personal. Then he makes it his mission to bring down the multibillionaire. As they work together, emotions and feelings they thought buried rise to the surface, and they discover that sometimes your greatest weakness is also your greatest strength. With the body count rising, Blake and Pax must survive and find the truth before it’s too late. Otherwise, their future together will be over before it begins.

Love this

Blake and Pax fight for their feelings and in the end have a wonderful love that is a once in a lifetime love that many never find. Of course along the way, they must find out the secrets in Pax's past to be able to have a future.

Love the Eidolon Series!

Enjoyed

New author to me. Lots of action and a fast paced story with twists. Good amount of sexy times. I enjoyed both characters and their chemistry. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Audio - The narrator, Chris Winrow, is new to me. I enjoyed his British accent. He did a good job but was a bit robotic at times. Still, lots of potential.

(The first 2 chapters are now fixed so re download)

Enjoyable Romantic Suspense

This is the first book I have read by this author. I listened to the audiobook and thought the narration waa pretty good. Blake was the 2nd book in the Eidolon Ops series, can be read as a stand-alone, and is still a good read.

Being honest, I did feel like I had come in as a newbie in a group of long standing friends. I imagine part of it was because I hadn't read the first book, "Alex".

The relationship between the women at Zenobi who Pax worked with, Rosalind's two kids, Jack and Rosalind's dislike of one another, are all examples of feeling like I was late to the party. These people all had previous interactions, and I am not sure that all of the relationships occurred in the first book.

Pax had a convoluted relationship with both of her parents. Those relationships play an integral part in the story, and has a significant effect on Pax's feeling of worth. Calvin Blake, the playboy, changed his behavior for one person. After Blake becomes involved with his supremely protect nature, he and Pax develop a relationship that allows her to blossom.

" Blake" was full of romance, heat, emotion, action, suspense, danger, and intrigue. There were a few details regarding previous relationships. I would have appreciated having the knowledge that some characters may have appeared in other books and/or series. I also happen to be one of those anal people that likes to read books in order.

I also have "Gunner". I will have to start with Alex and work my way to Gunner's book. I am looking forward to it. Based on what I have read/listened to so far, it should be both an enjoyable as well as satisfying journey.

Awesome romantic suspense

Blake is the second book in the Eidolon Black Ops series. I really enjoyed reading and listening to it. Maddie Wade writes a great blend of romance and suspense. It was sexy, and Blake and Pax are so lovable. There is no angst- just page turning suspense. You get a great happily ever after, and a mystery to solve throughout the series. What more could you ask for?!? I can’t wait for the next book. The narrator is British. It took me a few minutes to get used to it, but it was very well read.

More Eidolon Greatness! Terrific Story & Listen🎧

Maddie Wade pens another captivating and action packed romantic suspense that takes you to the edge of your seat and has you wondering not only what is going to happen next but who is behind it all. Grace Paxton, a trained assassin, usually targets others, but she is now someone’s target and they made an attempt on her life. She had gone to Blake, an operative for Eidolon, asking for help, hesitant about it until he sees she was in danger. It all becomes complicated, the connection with the case she wanted Blake to investigate, her family drama and then the drama going on in Eidolon, trying to figure out who is leaking info and betraying them. I adored both lead characters, Grace and Blake, they were great together and for each other, not to mention the chemistry between them which was sizzling hot. I loved how everything played out in this book, it is well written and well plotted with plenty of drama, a touch of angst, action, twists and turns, mystery, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions and a wonderful romance. Maddie Wades, thank you for another fantastic story.

🎧📚🎧 Chris Winrow did a great job bringing these characters to life, humanizing them, giving each their own distinct voice and personality, making it easy to follow along and tell who is who. He had a complete understanding of the characters he portrayed, captured all the characters’ emotions, and projected them into his performance. Chris Winrow is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the terrific listen.

First, I need to figure out how this is my first Maddie Wade book. Romance, suspense, action, love, all the things needed to create an amazing fast paced story! Grace Paxton, a female assassin seeks the help of Calvin Blake. Blake is everything a woman wants, but he will never commit, and Pax's request is just too much. Until it's not. Not only is he going to help her prove her father's guilt, but she is under his skin. The question is, will he be able to keep her safe, love her and complete his mission? Talk about excitement! This book has it in spades. Pax is a strong woman, willing do to do just about anything to reach her goal. Blake is determined to do what he has to, but his feelings are going to be his downfall. Twists, turns and an unexpected villain all lead to an incredible end! This book is fabulous!

Chris Winrow gives a very good performance. Great with his many voices and accents, he brings this story to life through ups and downs, spicy scenes and suspense. I enjoyed his performance.
