Proof

Targes Executive Protection, Book 1

De: Sloane Kennedy

Narrado por: Michael Dean

One night, one bullet, two lives changed forever.

Cass
A legal technicality might be the reason I’m out of prison after serving only two years of what should have been multiple life sentences, but all I care about now is finding the man who put me behind bars in the first place. JJ Ferguson needs to see firsthand what his lies have turned me into.

Two years ago, JJ and I should have been talking about our future together.

Our lives had changed that night, just not in the way they should have. When the bullet tore through his brain, I begged him to stay with me as his blood stained my shirt and ran down my arms. My own life ended the moment his did.

I’d been sitting in jail when I'd learned of JJ’s survival. I’d waited for days, then weeks for JJ to tell the cops the truth about that night.

That was two years ago.

JJ hadn’t come for me. No one had. The coward never showed, not for my farce of a trial, not for the verdict, not even for the reading of my sentence.

It doesn’t matter what got me out of prison. All that matters now is teaching JJ what he taught me so well…

The true meaning of suffering.

JJ
Cassius “Cass” Ashby is a free man.

Apparently, two years behind bars is the going rate for attempting to take the life of an LAPD officer. I’m that officer and Cass, a guy I'd known for most of my life, is the one who put a bullet through my head and left me to die.

Everyone calls me a “medical miracle” because I survived the shooting. If they only knew the things I’m doing with my so-called second chance at life.

Now Cass is out and he’s coming for me.

I’m looking forward to it.

When Cass finally does come, he’ll be expecting a naive, complacent, terrified man who’ll beg for his life, but none of the wealth, power and influence that comes with the Ashby name won't save him. Nothing will.

Get your tissues ready!

Sloane Kennedy and Michael Dean bring you into a world of heartbreak,heartache, disfunction, and love.
BUCKLE UP!

Disconnected Feeling and Words

I really liked the overall plot of this story, however I was disappointed with the chemistry between JJ and Cass. Normally the heat is wafting off the pages of Sloane Kennedy’s stories, but in this instance the reader was told about the connection and everything between the MCs. Yes, there were a lot of sexy times, but I just didn’t FEEL much of substance to back up the words. As a result, I ended up fast forwarding to get to the mystery surrounding why Cass was convicted of this crime. The mystery was the best part and is what kept me listening until the end. I love Michael Pauley, who deserves 5 stars for his narration, but I only gave the overall story 4 stars. I am looking forward to the next book, which is hopefully Sully and Michael’s book.

Jumbled and offbeat

Micheal Pauley does a good job of narration as usual but the story and characters are not up to the usual Sloane Kennedy standards. The MCs relationship didn't feel real they we disconnected. The engagement with the "mystery" of the plot also felt disconnected. It was a slog to get through and I ended up skimming through scenes that were repetitive. Overall it felt like the entire book could have been better with some actual emotionally engaged conversations.
