His Demand

Gabe's Story

De: Lisa Renee Jones

Narrado por: Joe Arden, Erin Mallon

Gabe Maxwell is a powerhouse in the boardroom, a man with a dark past he's buried under success and power. He's not a white-picket-fence-and-forever kind of guy and he's definitely not into redheads. That is until one corners him, kisses him, and thanks him for waking her up. Right before she walks away and leaves him. She's gone and he's obsessed.

Then she walks into his office and back into his life, and he has to have her. It doesn't matter that she's the kind of woman you marry. It doesn't matter that she's everything he avoids because she's everything he wants.

Only Abbie isn't the good girl she seems. She has secrets and a past, and soon, she'll pull Gabe into her bed, her life, and that spells more than obsession. It spells danger. ​

Gabe Maxwell’s story

The last of the Maxwell siblings finds his match and she is full of mystery. Gabe also turns out to be an animal lover. This is part 1 with a cliffhanger. Hopefully his sister and brother will play more of a role in the last part of his story as he has played in theirs.
Abby, the new woman in Gabe’s life is an attorney with secrets concerning her past. She’s been divorced a couple years from a violent billionaire with his own secrets. Her mother appears to be a sweet, yet intelligent vet who runs an animal shelter, though she too seems to have a hidden past, and we know next to nothing about Abby’s divorced attorney father except that he prefers calling his daughter Abigail and appears have been a bit controlling in her upbringing. Maybe he’s an attorney for the mob? This is the set up part of the book, with fast dialog, some character development for Gabe but little for Abby, a fair amount of sex but not a lot of answers. Abby is not the easiest character to like as she appears very indecisive, somewhat impulsive and weak willed, and because we don’t know her full story, we can’t really tell whether her behavior is because she is scared or manipulative. The series is a good example of romantic suspense; perfect for the former Romance Package but newly renamed Escape Package. Joe Arden does a great job as Gabe and Erin Mallon is fine as Abby but the performance would have been perfect as a duet given their less than perfect opposite sex voices. Looking forward to the next book in series

Nice read

Gabe is a complicated sexy man. Abbie is a sexy smart woman. They both have issues. Couldn’t wait to see where they were going. Can’t wait to read more.

Power plays

Abby visits Gabe Maxwell's law office seeking representation from her harassing ex-husband. Gabe who isn't into redheads has developed a fascination for Abby.
Despite Abby's dangerous and ruthless ex, both Abby and Gabe hide their pasts from each other. Finally Gabe has had enough and decides to take matters into his own hands, but so has Abby.
Warning - Cliffhanger
Joe Arden and Erin Mallon execute the characters in this book with ease and yet inflict their own dramatics into some of the more colorful characters.

4 stars

Wow, talk about a cliffhanger! I'm so glad I have the next one to jump into right away.

Great Series

Great Series, but the girl on voice Abby, geeezzz she sounds too desperate at every turn. After awhile it gets annoying. The book is overall good, have been waiting on Gabe’s Story, but I have to agree that it’s dragging out the secrets.

good story

I hate cliffhangers especially when the next book is not published yet. Joe & Erin did an excellent. job in narrating as always they do. can't wait to the next one comes out I'm excited. But in the meantime I will read something else of Lisa Renee Jones

suspense

Outside the repetitive inner monologue of thoughts and feelings it was a entertaining story line
Sucks it left on a unexpected cliffhanger. looking forward to the continuation of this story.

Seductive and mysterious

While the story itself could have been more complicated, the narrators really did it justice and it was a very enjoyable listen! I am looking forward to listening to the second book in this series since this one left so many questions unanswered!

shiveringly delightful

Gabe is a man after my own heart. He's the total package but with secrets that leave me slavering for more. The intrigue in this story swept me away and Joe Arden and Erin Mallon brought the story and characters into blinding reality.

Part 1 - The last Maxwell falls!

I definitely enjoyed this story except for how she repeatedly she tells Gabe to forget helping her in order to protect him. It's a ludicrous thought to say you came to someone for protection and now want them to forget it to protect them, unless you are more seriously trained than them which begs the question of why did you come to them in the first place? And who listen if they perceive you're in jeopardy?
The Adoption Center was a lovely aspect of the story from a volunteer point and the minor story of her mother falling in love. It also brought a depth of character to Gabe when he adopted his dog. His swift personality change is a good book group study question of why?
The Maxwell offspring have been through many challenges but have figured out that their strength is staying together especially if one off their own is threatened.
A definite recommendation to read or listen to.
