Resumen del Editor

Can broken be beautiful?

Ryker McCabe. Former Special Forces. Survived 15 months in an Afghan prison, tortured within an inch of his life. His scars - and his fears - keep him alone. Disconnected from the world. From his team. From any hope of redemption.

Until he meets her.

Wren Kane. Hacker extraordinaire. Desperately searching for her brother. When police find his body in a drug den, she knows there's more to his death than an overdose. He'd promised he was clean. And then, she finds the message he left her.

Wren's prepared to go it alone. Until she runs right into Ryker. He's the biggest, baddest man she's ever seen. And he's willing to risk his life to fulfill her brother's dying wish. But how can she trust him when he won't let her in?

When danger comes for Wren, Ryker jumps into action. No one hurts his little bird. Except maybe him. Because if he can't share his heart, he could lose her forever.

On His Six is a standalone, slow burn, dark military romance with several potential triggering scenes, including drug use and the brief threat of sexual violence.

All of the books in the Away From Keyboard series are standalone romances featuring a different couple, but past couples and characters do occasionally play active roles in future books.

Good

On His Six was a good book. I liked the story of Ryker, this wounded and scarred soldier who went through hell and miraculously survived, and Wren, a hacker genius on an impossible mission to fulfill a promise to her late brother. While working together Wren found the key to Ryker's blackened heart and proved that after all he'd been through, he still had a soul.
I liked the writing, it was really entertaining. My only complaint is there were a few references to previous missions - I assume were the storylines in the previous two books - what seemed to have made big impacts on some of the characters' lives but were never elaborated. As I considered this story a standalone I would have liked a few additional sentences there to be able to understand what situations the characters were referring to. Other than that I really enjoyed Wren and Ryker's story.

Out of the two narrators I liked Aiden Snow's parts better. I liked how he brought Ryker's character to life. His female voice was also very good. His speech was a lot clearer, more to my liking. Grace Grant's narration wasn't my favorite. She captured Wren's anxiety in her narration but still, I had a hard time warming up to her way of speaking. It was more slurred and a little less understandable. I'm not sure if it was a recording issue or she has such heavily veiled voice.

His little bird... Sweet!

Aiden Snow playing Ryker, all alpha, masculine and dangerous was right on target for me. That deep voice gives me goosebumps....and I love it!
I also love it when the author recognizes when they have the right narrators for a series.
This is another Special Ops book with intrigue, mystery, topped off with some romance.
Ryker was definitely a badass dude with demons and the story tells us why. He dealt with some serious stuff.
I do love listening to Patricia Eddy's books especially when Aiden is narrating.
Ryker, dealing with his fears and scars and finally finding that balance he needed and his little bird made for a decent story.
Ryker was in the previous book "In Her Sights" (Aiden was excellent in that one too) but this one is all about Ryker!! Explains his attitudes from the other book. I can't use words like angst or epic because that's not the case here but I did enjoy it and I'm just a big Aiden Snow fan so I am a little biased too.

Gripping from the opening lines

Wow - this is my first book by this author and it will not be my last. From the opening gut wrenching lines right up to the very end this story had me on the edge of my seat. It is filled with romance, suspense and heart wrenching angst. Ryker and Wren need to go from hell back to reality in order to find love in the end. Perfect narration and I cannot wait for more in this series.

Exciting story with compelling characters

The two main characters for this story are Ryker and Wren. Wren works for Dax, the only other soldier who lived through the torture Ryker did. (the story starts with a look into the horror Ryker had to go through during his time as a POW- oof, that was tough!)

This is the third in the series and there are a few details that I assume were discussed in prior books so may be best to read in order (I received an audiobook for this book so I hadn’t read the prior books but still had no trouble following the line of this story)

Overall, this story was exciting, with a good mix of action, suspense and romance. The characters are damaged but still try to do good. They have a hard time trusting but eventually, find that trusting and believing in one another is the path to their salvation. Ryker, especially, has a hard time trusting people, including those on his team but of course, through the course of the book, realizes that this trust makes him a better, stronger person. I really liked Wren’s character because she suffers from anxiety and panic attacks but rises above those to help as she can (they were trying to save some people from the same mobsters who killed her brother). There is a fair bit of violence, engaging in drugs and scenes/mentions of sexual violence. But this was an interesting and compelling story and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Aidan Snow is PERFECT for the male character. He also has a fantastic ability to go raspy as Ryker and smooth for Wren. He is a great narrator. Grace Grant did well as well but I think she tries a little too hard trying to play a male character so it doesn't sound very realistic.

This is my first book of this author, definitely looking forward to reading others!
I received this book from Audiobook Obsession and this is my honest review. #AudiobookObsessionReviewer

Yes

Fell in love the first time the first sentence was read. I would recommend it.

Such a great story of a broken man!

I LOVED Aiden Snow as the voice of Ryker in this book. He had just the right voice for a broken, wounded alpha male soldier who is just trying to find his way back to himself. Wren is computer coder who suffers from severe anxiety. The two of them finding their way to each other and healing each other just made my heart sing. The narrators work so well together, complimenting each other with their styles. I loved how Patricia D. Eddy brings such depth to the characters! To have such emotions, such trauma in both the MC's lives, it is just incredible. The different gestures that Wren does to cope with her anxiety. The way that Ryker behaves when confronted with emotion. Just incredible. Loved every second of this book.

Amazing Romantic Suspense!

This is the third book in the Away From Keyboard Series. The whole Series is great! All stories can be listened as a standalone, but believe me, you don't want to miss one of them. This great Romantic Suspense/Dark Military Romance is really well written. Ryker and Wren's story is breathtaking, heartbreaking, sexy, suspenseful, fast-paced, twisted, and totally captivating. Ryker, a former special forces, is a broken man. Wren, a hacker, is a beautiful, and strong woman, who struggles with anxiety disorders. They share a strong, and hot chemistry. The Epilogue is wonderful. I totally recommend this audiobook. Aidan Snow and Grace Grant did an amazing job with the narration. Now, I can't wait for Dax's story.

Heart Stopping

He's beyond redemption.

The years have taken their toll. Can Ryker put his world back together?

In the Special Forces, weakness isn't an option, but everyone has a breaking point.

After eighteen months of torture in an Afghan prison, Ryker escaped Hell. Six years later, alone and lost, he can't find his way back, and people are counting on him.

Tough guys can't ask for help.

And the nightmares are tearing him apart.

Wren Kane is a world-class hacker focused on one thing—fulfilling her brother's dying wish. She's alone, determined, and stubborn, despite the demons she battles every single day.

A chance meeting brings Wren and Ryker together, and she sees through his tough exterior to the pain he carries deep inside.

Will Ryker let her in?

You'll love this slow burn, dark military romance because there's something about a broken man that's unforgettable.

This book is heart stoppingly good. It is Brutally intense and I loved every minute of it. This book was well written and fast paced it was deliciously good to me. Aiden Snow and Grace Grant did a outstanding job of bring this high pace and greatly written book to life for me, Loved it!

Ryker💘Wren! Great Story & Audible Listen🎧

Wow, this is one great suspenseful romance. It is well written and well told, it grabbed not only my attention but my heart right from the start. The original storylines are interesting, some are deep, others are intense and took me to the edge of my seat. The characters are complex and well developed. My heart went out to Ryker as soon as I learned what he went thru. The author’s descriptive telling of his hell was realistic and heart wrenching. It is not a wonder Ryker is who he is, broken, not worthy of anything good and unable to let anyone in. Ryker has unresolved issues with Dax, the only surviving member of his team. He heads to Chicago with hopes of setting things straight with him. When Wren, a computer geek/hacker who works for Dax’s company runs in to Ryker again, they start to talk and she tells him she is looking for help to solve brother’s death, which she refuses to believe was an accident. The investigation uncovers a crime ring across the world. I loved these two together, they were so good for each other, she got thru the barrier around his heart and started to humanize him and he grounded her and curbed her anxiety. They worked well together too, he was a bad ass special forces op, she behind the scenes until all goes FUBAR. This is an action packed story, plenty of drama, twists, mystery, suspense and a nice build up to a great romance. Patricia D. Eddy, thank you for this great story and the emotional rollercoaster ride.

I listened to the Audible edition, Aiden Snow and Grace Grant are fantastic narrators and voice performers. They brought these characters to life, giving each their own voice and personality, as well as heart and attitude. I loved Aiden Snow’s take on Ryker, alpha badass, Grace Grant’s take on Wren was great too. The accents covered were great too. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen🎧

Best romantic suspense of the year!

I listen to a lot of romantic suspense, and Patricia Eddy continually remains as one of my favorite listens. This third book of the Away From Keyboard series is gripping from the first scene and had me is chaos for the entire listen. I could not wait to hear what was going to happen! We get to know Ryker. He is a former green beret and has been through more than anyone should experience. When he meets Wren and hears her story, he is both attracted to her and wants to help her. Wren is a talented hacker, but needs the expertise and strength of strategic warriors. With the Russians at the ready, these two, along with help from their friends, West, Dax and Inara go in search of a woman. There are a few things I really love about the way Eddy writes. Her characters are flawed. Wren suffers from anxiety disorder and rather than gloss over it, she deals with it realistically. Ryker has his own personal issues and they are dealt with head on. There is no nonsense and it's refreshing to have an author attack subjects like that. If you enjoy thrilling suspense, action packed scenes, strong characters and steamy passion, this book and this series is for you.

And with all that being said, the narration is exquisite. Aiden Snow's raspy, deep voice brought the Ryker to life. His performance exuded the pain and guilt he carried and made you feel compassion for him. Grace Grant makes Wren such an incredibly strong opponent with a voice full of confidence for her trade, and also a sound of understanding and love. This team brought the story to life and kept it thrilling and passionate.
