The Easy Way

The Way Home, Book 1

De: May Archer

Narrado por: Michael Dean

Camden Seaver had it easy - a loving family, plenty of money, and the freedom to follow his dreams while his older brother, Sebastian, took charge of the family business. But when a tragic plane crash killed his parents, all the responsibilities he never wanted landed firmly on his shoulders. Now saddled with his crazy, grief-stricken brother and his dad’s multimillion dollar company, Cam doesn’t trust in dreams anymore. He’s forgotten what “easy” feels like.

FBI Agent Kendrick “Cort” Cortland learned the hard way that he couldn’t depend on anyone but himself. Before joining the FBI, the one constant in his life was his foster brother, Damon - and then Damon disappeared. Now, Cort is determined to find his brother and to bring down the man responsible for ruining Damon’s life, Sebastian Seaver. He’s got nothing left to lose.

When Cort’s investigation leads him to Seaver Tech...and Camden Seaver...what started as a quest for revenge and a one-night deception quickly turns into far more than either man bargained for. But how can either man trust in something that seems so easy? As long-held secrets are revealed, the attraction between Cam and Cort becomes combustible - an undeniable love that will either make or destroy them. Will Cam and Cort let their conflicting loyalties drive them apart? Or will they decide that sometimes love is the easy way?

Excellent mystery!!

I really enjoyed this start of the series. Usually with a mystery I can figure out pretty quick who is behind it but I have to be honest I was wrong on this one which for me makes it an awesome book! I really enjoyed watching the relationship between Camden and Cort build and even though there were some lies told by Cort in the beginning they made sense for this storyline. These two definitely have all the chemistry they need and the snark in this book is wonderful. The narration was very well done and I look forward to the next book in this series!

Easy Like Sunday Morning!

I've read the book before and most of the books I've read, the audio version makes everything better.
The story becomes enhanced by Michael's narration. The banter more alive. The mystery more riveting. And the steam!! HOT!
The chemistry more palpable even if there were some secrets. All in all, an enjoyable listen.

Loyalty

This story is full of action and dramatic moments. It explores how far you would go to help family. Cam and Cort have such a strong bond but they had so many layers to dig through. Really loved this story.

Suspenseful, sexy ride

I enjoyed this one - I was definitely held in suspense, so much suspense that when I had about an hour left of the audio, I switched to print, because I knew I wouldn't have a chance to listen again for awhile & I absolutely HAD to know what was going to happen. I then got so sucked in that I read the preview for the next book that came up in the print. So yeah, I'm totally invested in this story.
I enjoyed all the characters, right down to minor characters, good & bad, and some showed more depth & unpredictability than I'd expected at the start. There's a great deal of humor to it & sweetness, so I laughed & smiled. One bit even had me tearing up. I had a feeling I knew the identity of the villain(s), but I definitely couldn't predict what was coming, even when I thought I knew.
I'm sure some could find flaws, such as lack-of-communication issues that are some people's pet peeves, but in this case, it made sense to me, particularly from Cort's side of things. There is a sort of insta-love to it, but since they did spend a LOT of concentrated time together, I think their feelings could intensify quickly. There's a LOT of sex, which some like & some don't - I didn't mind at all; it was pretty damn hot to me, quite honestly.
My only caveat with the book itself that I didn't fully understand certain aspects with regard to the mystery part of the story - I feel like it really needed to be better explained & dealt with. I read the first chapter of the next book & I feel much the same, but there is definitely a continuation of this aspect of the story in the next book, so I feel that there is definitely more to be revealed.
So far as the narration, it was pretty good. I wouldn't say it was one of Michael Dean's best - it's 3rd person dual POV and at one point, he mixed up a character name at the start of one chapter, so for a bit, I was confused about whose head I was inside. He mispronounced a few words and a couple times, he had a fast-paced intensity going when I think he should've slowed down, like he hadn't given parts of scenes enough transition. These were very brief slips that didn't detract from the story & a lot of the narration was really quite good.
Over all, I did enjoy this book & I'm totally going to dive into the next one.

The not so easy way

This was good,I'm actually listening to the second one now. Cort might have went after cam with one intention, but it ended so much better than what he meant to do. Perfect story and narration.
