Good story. Good narration.

A little bit silly and a little bit sweet with lots of action and a dash of romantic angst. This was an entertaining story with well performed narration.

Yes

I really like these audio books and the character connections from prior books. Did anyone notice the voices of Dunn and Tucker were the opposite from the previous story?

omg great book

Ms. Lucy Lennox did it again. Great story and great characters. I'm definitely waiting for book two. I'm hooked!

enjoyed it

Would I listen to it again: probably
Did the story keep me engaged: reasonably
Was I invested in the characters: mostly

📖 Story comment: Good pace, likeable characters, entertaining story.
Enjoyed the story and I was reasonably entertained. I didn't connect with Carter's character in this one as much as I did in 'Fools' - his character didn't have the same kind of charm (which was disappointing).

🎧 Narrator comment: I enjoyed Michael Dean's narration, he suits the characters, has good cadence, inflections and intonations and it's easy to distinguish the characters from each other. Overall an enjoyable performance.

Hijacked

"You're unexpected in the best way. On paper, we have nothing in common, but you fill up a part of me I didn't know was empty until we met. You challenge me. You're adventurous and wild, but you're also sweet and thoughtful."

A laugh-out-loud, twisting story that will have you glued to the pages.

Riggs has messed up at work, yet again, and is put on what he sees as a babysitting job accompanying Cater on his trip to Venezuela. While helping the people of Venezuela, Riggs and Carter are captured and must find a way to get home safely all while trying to remain professional.

Riggs and Carter's story is highly entertaining with a twist of suspense that kept me interested right from the very beginning. The story was different than I expected but could not seem to put it down and found myself laughing out loud multiple times. This was my first book by both of these authors and I will definitely be reading more from both in the future.

Audio... Michael Dean did a good job of bringing all of the characters and the story to life.

4 Maple Leafs... Hijacked is a m/m, bodyguard, medical, romantic comedy that is told in the dual first-person point of view.

Fact paced action with lots of feelzzzzz

Spin-off of the Licking Thicket series. I found the plot satisfyingly action packed, with ups and downs and lots of surprises thrown in. The characters are enjoyable- the dr being aristocratic on the outside but genuine and full of heart on the inside and the bodyguard being kind of standoffish and guarded at first but relaxing a bit as the story goes on. The typical hilarity that is in the Licking Thicket series, built around just awful and awfully funny, puns is not as prevalent in this book. The Horn of Glory game that the new series is built on lends itself to a lot of chuckles though. Although I generally love Michael Dean as a narrator, I was a bit annoyed and disappointed with this book. A majority of the story is in Venezuela and quite a few phrases are in Spanish. Mr Dean has such awful pronunciation that although I speak Spanish, half the time I didn’t understand what the characters where saying in Spanish. I tried to ignore it because the authors do a fantastic job of translating for the reader. However, if I were a narrator and didn’t know how to pronounce any word, in any language, I’d at least do a quick Google search to see how to pronounce the words. The other thing that truly disappointed me was that he portrays Riggs with a southern accent, at times heavy and noticeable but at other times it is non-existent. Usually I can count on him to have very distinguishable character voices but because the accent kept disappearing I got a bit confused when starting mid-way through a chapter.

great narration good story

Michael always a fav does a great job. love the lickin thicket series, so funny.

Yes!! Sooo many yeses!

Okay. I can’t get enough of Hijacked. I am so ready to jump into the next book and the one after. Licking thicket PLUS travel, suspense, humor and steamy romance. Yes please. May and Lucy are magical with their duo writing and Michael Dean is hot as heck narrating. I highly recommend—BEWARE—this will make you want to revisit the thicket for a reread or relisten of Fools because—you just have to have more of tucker and Dunn lol. Five star. Lots of goodness here.

Love itLoved it!

I just love the writing style of these two! Funny, quirky, entertaining, and so easy to get wrapped up in the story. Micheal Deal is my new favorite narrator. If you haven’t listened to the first three books from the Licking Thicket series, it’s a must!

Loved it

The hostage at first seemed strange acting. But, came clear. They both were stupid near the end. Talking to one another is a real thing insted of making assumptions. Narrater was fantastic. I have not listened in anything of his i have not liked.
