Unspoken

Light & Shadow, Book 3

De: N.N. Britt

Narrado por: Gabriel Michael, Jameson Adams

Loyalties and rules are put to the ultimate test when a disgraced ex-cop and a younger sibling of a ruthless crime leader cross the line that a bodyguard and his protectee aren't allowed to cross.

Logan McKenna has fallen from grace after one split-second decision ended his police career. He's now working as a security detail for the criminal elite of Sin City. Mounting hospital bills force Logan to reluctantly accept a job from a dangerous man many don't want to get involved with–Vlad Solovey.

But Logan's new assignment proves more trouble than it's worth—he's hired to protect Solovey's younger brother, the impossible Alexander "Sasha" Solovey, who appears intent on getting Logan fired.

Sasha grew up sheltered from the family business in London, but an assassination attempt summons him to Vegas, where he spends all his time under his brother's watchful eye. Determined to piss off Vlad, Sasha takes every opportunity to shake off his new bodyguard. But Logan is as immovable as the mountain, refusing to bend to Sasha's antics.

When the two men collide in a clash of wills, an undeniable spark ignites between them. Accepting it would destroy Logan's code, jeopardizing his position and possibly life. With enemies circling the Solovey empire, keeping Sasha safe should become Logan's sole focus. But the heart wants what it wants.

And the moment danger strikes, Logan has to make an impossible choice: walk away and save himself, or risk it all to protect the man steadily slipping past his defenses?

Set after the events of Isaac and Dallas. It can be enjoyed as a standalone. First person, alternating POV.

A True Crime Bromance!

I loved Sasha. He is an amazing character and the author does an excellent job with his character development.

Logan is the thirty-three year old hired muscle with the job of protecting Sasha after an assassination attempt. Logan is an ex-cop who took the fall for his partner. He’s the alpha in the relationship.

Vlad is Sasha’s older brother and the leader of the Russian mob in Sin City. You met him in the first two books of this series. Vlad had Isaac assassinate his father right before Isaac and Dallas leave for Thailand. Vlad also harbours secrets that you’ll read about in the next book, ‘Stricken.’

Logan is much older than Sasha. That was the only thing that bothered me about this story. It almost came across as grooming since Sasha was young and had never been involved in an adult relationship before. Or any relationship since he’s a virgin. Sasha was sent to London as a boy in disgrace by his father. Logan calls Sasha, “My sweet boy,” and it just gives creeper vibes.

Insert Russian mobsters, Italian mafia, and South America cartels, and what you get is an excellent crime drama.

The narrators are excellent! Sasha sounds exactly as one would expect, as do Vlad and Logan. Highly recommend the audiobook!

For mature readers due to graphic sexuality, violence consistent with organised criminality, and strong language.

If you can get past those trigger points, it’s an excellent read: poignant, gritty, action packed, and deals with the humanity of losing parents to cancer, finding love in unexpected people, finding meaning to life when everything else is stripped away.

There are a few typos and grammatical errors throughout.

Logan and Sasha👏❤🔥

Wonderful addition to this series. the body guard and the Russian mobsters son. The perfect couple! a suspense filled romance with just the right amount of heat. definitely worth your credit.
