Length: 5 hrs and 41 mins

Publisher's summary

A scared, lonely past and a dangerous secret follow Dr. Aiden Sharp to the peaceful town of Lake Cliff, Illinois, when he arrives to testify in a murder trial for the district attorney.

Some heroes are built a little differently than the rest of us, and some hearts love in a way we’re not used to. Blood spatter and exit wounds make more sense to Aiden than a casual remark or a quick wink. Living faces and expectations have always been more of a mystery to Aiden than the cases he handles for the FBI because of his Asperger’s, but he’s never let it stop him from getting what he wants. He wants Lane as soon as their eyes meet in the airport, but Aiden gets a lot more than he expected when danger arrives with a text message and a threat he can no longer outrun. Luckily, Aiden finds a safe place to hide and learns he actually has a heart, he was just waiting for someone to teach him how to use it.

Detective Lane West is prepared to protect the gorgeous but confusing forensic psychologist from himself and just about anything fate throws at them. But what about Lane’s heart? Despite his best intentions, Lane can’t keep his hands off Aiden, keep it in his pants, or keep his heart out of it as soon as Mr. Morning After works his magic.

Passion and pancakes bring two lonely hearts together, and an errand for the district attorney turns Lake Cliff upside down.

Remastered for improved sound quality.

So cute!!

This book made me smile and laugh. The MCs worked well together and how the disability was portrayed was excellent, loved the descriptions on how he feels.

Classic Police Detective Story.

During my teenage years I discovered the rerun radio detective stories from the Golden Age of Radio - thanks KNX 1070 AM Radio). K. Sterling wrote a classic police detective story with all the mystery and excitement of a modern day action/thriller blockbuster movie. On top of the story is the way Mr. Sterling brought the characters to life. I had to listen to it twice to write this review, and I'm sure I missed way more details in the writing/voicing of this story than I noticed

A great story with a few hiccoughs

I have to admit, I'm never exactly sure what to expect from this author. But, even with its flaws, this is a scorching listen that kept me engaged.

Aiden has Asperger's, but his portrayal isn't exactly in line with the behaviors of someone on the spectrum. However, this is fiction, and I decided to go with listening in a state of this is the author's world, so it made Aiden's actions and lack of filter (which is common) much more enjoyable.

Lane started out on my bad side. He was a grade A d-bag with the way he had been carrying on. However, even before he met his new charge, he had given up his wicked ways. But, it still seemed like he went a little too far away from having morals.

It took watching the way Lane interacted with Aiden to get me to loosen up about Lane. Unfortunately, his past mistake is an unprofessional idiot who can't or won't let bygones be bygones. The idiot is actually the only reason Aiden has come to town in the first place, but Aiden is treated with disdain and thrown to the wolves when he was only doing his job.

There's an underlying plot throughout the story, and it brings some suspense to the table. You'll have to read/listen to learn more about that. There are some loopholes, some inaccuracies, but the sexy times were hot. So, as this seems to be the beginning of a series, I'd say it's a HFN ending, at least ending with a positive note.

Mr. Sterling did a good job with the narration. My one complaint is that he didn't keep the characters' voices constant throughout the story; especially not Lane's. But, he was a pleasure to listen to and kept the pacing nice.

Sensational

Love the story, the series and the narrator was terrific. So excited this is finally coming to audio. The main characters are fascinating I so hope u will start the series.

Well Worth Your Time

Loved the premise and MCs. Especially loved the demystification of Asperger. The unfolding of Aiden’s story was well timed and fascinating.I can honestly say I loved this so much I immediately downloaded the next book in print rather than wait for it in Audible format. The performance was good but the sound was a little tinny. I’m sure this is something that can be corrected. That said... well worth it.

Great job!!

I love everything I have read from K. Sterling. But hearing it, was a new and wonderful experience. I love Aiden and Lane. Mr. Sterling did a great job reading this book. He gave each character a distinctive voice that was believable. I hope we get more audio books from K. Sterling recited by Mr. Sterling.

My favorite characters brought to life!

K. Sterling is always an automatic one click buy for me. Her stories never disappoint.I am extremely excited to finally hear them! I have been a big fan of this series since it started. Each character is so unique yet real and relatable. It has been some time since I read this book and I loved getting to experience them again.
Fantastic job on the narration, Mr. Sterling. It seemed a little rushed but still quite enjoyable. I am anxiously looking forward to hearing more.

Hide and Keep

Clark was such a D bag all the way around- cheating on his wife and trying to hook up non stop with Lane- skeevy!! I liked the easy comraderie Lane and Aiden fell into. It was a natural fit. Aiden's no filter talk gave me a lot of chuckles. Clark was very obnoxious and entertaining with his ludacris tantrums and unprofessionalism. I liked that the author gave a main characters aspergers, because it added depth and variety to the story. I was completely invested in Aiden and Lane and look forward to continuing the journey with them. I floved this. The narrator's voice and expressions brought it to life. I voluntarily listened to this and am giving an honest review.

I will always love the story

I was quite excited to see that one of my favourite books was being made as an audiobook! I really love Aiden and Lane and listening to them is an added bonus! Yes, the audio quality could have been better, but a good story can (and did) rise above that. I really liked Mr. Sterling as a narrator, there were times he was a tad fast, but I really enjoyed listening to this 🤗
Bravo to K. and Mr Sterling!
