Publisher's summary

A prequel to Into the Storm (Evidence: Under Fire, Book 1)

Navy SEAL Xavier Rivera visits historic Lake Olympus Lodge on a scouting mission for a top secret training exercise. In the lodge, he meets smart, attractive park archaeologist Audrey Kendrick. There are many reasons he should ignore the immediate, simmering attraction between them, but in the heat of the moment he has no restraint.

Audrey is drawn to the secretive man who helps her when she’s in a bind, and she can’t resist taking a chance on a night of passion. But their one red-hot night together leads to secrets and betrayal....

Love this prequel! Very much recommend!

I normally skip 0.5 books. but this one is great! very much recommend it!

also.. Can we please let Greg Tremblay narrate all romance books from now on? I first heard him in Flashpoint (also very heartily recommend), the other series by Rachel Grant.. And I just LOVE his narration! he is amazing!!

Great set up for new series

This is a great set up to her new series! This prequel gives a cute intro to the characters, but ends right when things are getting good! Can’t wait to hear the full story of these two!

Fantastic start to a new series!

The narrators are fantastic. I love Ms Grant's heroines. They're always intelligent and unconventional. Her heroes are strong and, in their own eyes, flawed. Omg... the chemistry between these two... and the ending! Thank fuck the next book will be released tomorrow!

Rachel and Xavier beginning

This is the Novella about how Xavier and Audrey met for the first time. Xavier is visiting the lodge to check out the site for a secret training mission for the Navy Seals. He was taken by Audrey, the pretty archaeological Park Ranger.
Their connection is hot and steamy. Audrey was hoping to see Xavier again, but they agreed for one night. That night was more than what Audrey bargained for. this sets the story for the amazing, exciting story, Into the Storm.

Greg Tremblay and Nicol Zanzarella performed this hot, steamy story with so much emotion.

Quick but meaty prequel

Before the Storm is a quick read that leads to the book, Into the Storm. Though Xavier needs to keep his reasons for being in the park a secret, he can't help but feel drawn to Audrey and offers to help her out of a jam. Though he warns her it can only be one night, they both feel more than passion. Their one night leads to unexpected consequences and betrayal. The reader can't help but immediately want to learn more of the story. The narration was great and I felt like I was right there with them throughout the story.

Great meet cute!

I love learning the meet cute of a couple, and Xavier and Audrey's just whet's the appetite. Audrey is the Lake Olympus Park archaeologist, overseeing all the land, the history and keeps the areas true to their history. Xavier is introduced to her, and the two have an immediate attraction, one that has them enjoying that feeling. While Xavier is up front about commitment, he is not so honest about his reason for being at the park. What will happen when she finds out? Spicy, the beginning of some suspense and thrills and a romance I can't wait to see bloom leads us to book 1. Get ready for the Into the Storm!

Nicol Zanzarella and Greg Tremblay give us this teaser with all the heat and passion a couple can have. I am looking forward to hearing their narration continue and bring us the whole story!

Perfect prequel teaser - I can’t wait to read Into the Storm

This is a prequel novella teaser to Into the Storm. It ends on a cliffhanger. As long as you understand that, you’ll enjoy the story. It introduces us to national park archeologist, Audrey, and Navy SEAL, Xavier. They have a sizzling one night stand and think that’s the end. We get just enough of their individual back stories and their current issues to get you excited to find out what happens next for them. This teasing taste was well written and engaging. I am excited to see how their relationship develops in Into the Storm.

This is a dual narration. Nicol Zanzarella and Greg Tremblay did a phenomenal job narrating the story and breathing life into the characters with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly.

Wow

I normally don’t listen/read prequels because they are never as good as the series. This one however, is soooo good. The ending was a stunner. I can’t wait for the next book.

Prequel definitely not to be missed!

Definitely not to be missed. We meet Xavier and Audrey as they fall into their own personal fire and major misunderstandings. This audiobook is well done by the narrators, Nicol Zanzarella and Greg Trembley and ends at a point that makes the listener/reader want to immediately pick up the next book “In To The Storm”. Grab this audiobook and get ready for the next anticipated read.

Hot

loved it! Hot and heavy, listen to book 1, it was very good 👍
