Delaney Walker has loved Carter since they were children. She’s waited for him between missions, hoping he’d eventually open his heart and they could be together. But when she suffers a devastating loss, one she must keep a secret, Delaney decides it’s time to stop waiting for her SEAL and move on.

Great family

Great family and fun story line. I like the balance between fun and family and action and romance.

Delaney got on my nerves!

I love all of Riely Edward's books, sometimes tho the women got on my nerves. In this one I really expected better from Laney from previous books. This one she complained and was just childish in so many ways. And I love Carter and couldn't wait to hear his story. Most of the time I love going back and listening to a book over and over again. With this one I had to skip so many places to avoid Laneys constant attitude. It's a shame because this would have been a 10 star if a lot of that was removed from this book. I can't stand whiny complaining females. She did get on my nerves in Jason's book because she wouldn't listen and that's what got her into all that went on in this book. Another thing that bothers me is when the books aren't consistent with what's said. In one book it was said that Carters team mates called him Monk no they called him Church, Then it was said in another that Delaney was Jasper's mini me and his favorite, no that is Quinn. So things like this do bother me. But all in all I love each series and don't regret listening to them.

Beautiful romance

There is nothing not to like about this story. Excellent story, excellent narration. One of my favorites. Enjoy!

Great Book

Love this series, female lead & male leads back and forth heat up to the explosion of their chemistry semi sums up the feel of the storyline of novel. Not about just their romance but the action, emotion, mystery, suspense. Hated what negatively happened to female lead towards beginning, but love how all rallied and came back for a HEA. Can't wait for next in series!

Good as usual

The story was great. The Female Lead whispers and her male voice is a little irritating. The Male Lead voice is stellar. I wasn’t too keen on his behavior at the beginning but the story unfolded

I Adored this Book!

Adored this book!! I waited for the audio and I am so happy that I did. Troy does an amazing job with this series.

Carter and Delaney have that love that we all want. But when a secret comes out, will they be able to move forward?

Carter wants Delaney and that is all! Delaney wants Carter just the same.. But with the family dynamic and everything else they have their own struggles.

I love this series so much and the books get better and better with every one that I listen to!

Very entertaining story and performance

I just love this series. This book has warm, wonderful characters that have a very long twisting path to their happily ever after. There is mystery and action along the way. For me, the steamy scenes get tiresome. Not my thing. Still, the wonderful family of characters and the story are great. The performance is very good.

Warning spoilers

Have your tissues handy.



They handle the loss of a baby and all the feels. If you have ever had a miscarriage or buried a baby heads-up this will hit home. I give it five out of five on the cry scale.

why the whispering??

I think I may just be done with Devon grace as a narrator. I think this book was on par with other Riley Edwards books but honestly it was so hard to listen to! please stop having Devon grace narrate. she whispers dramatically the WHOLE book. half the time you can't hear her and if you turn it up loud enough to hear her then Troy is way too loud. so annoying! Troy is great.

Gah...rip your heart out in true Riley fashion

Gah...rip your heart out in true Riley fashion. If you've read, or in my case listened, through the series then undoubtedly you've been pining for Carter and Delaney's story. Whew. What a ride. There was no shortage of emotional "distress" in this story as expected...in a good way of course. You also get danger, suspense, action, and mystery...and mush...lots of mushy lovey dovey hehe. And humor...tons of laughs. These two destined lovers finally work their crap out and get their HEA in this amazingly written story. The narration was great at bringing the story to life. Amazing job.
