Forbidden Hero

Redleg Security, Book 2

De: Jackie Walker

Narrado por: Robert Hatchet, CJ Bloom

Things that awaken my inner rage monster (in no particular order):

*The F-nugget who thought it would be fun to try to kidnap me. Throwing me in a trunk? Rude!

*My oldest brother - For insisting I need constant babysitters since I’m in danger. Oops! Did I say babysitters? I meant bodyguards.

*Same brother again - For having a ridiculously hot best friend, then assigning him as my primary bodyguard and telepathically forbidding him from dating me, even though I’m starting to suspect that he’s seriously crushing on me. (The best friend is crushing, not my brother. Don't be weird.)

*My brother’s best friend (i.e.: my new bodyguard) - For having a jaw so chiseled it could probably slice through a huge block of aged cheddar, and yet, not letting me lick it. (His jaw, not the cheddar. Now you’re waking up my rage monster.)

*My bodyguard’s stupid rules - For forbidding me from flirting with him, touching him more than necessary, and kissing him again. Even though he started it!

*Wine - For having calories.

*My ex-husband - For breathing.

*The law - For prohibiting st*bbing.

*My heart and bodyguard - Both for making me fall in love again… the audacity!

Forbidden Hero is a bodyguard romantic suspense with romcom vibes. It's written in alternating first person point of view and contains steamy open-door scenes, profanity, a strong heroine with mild anger issues due to her bumpy past, a hero who will make you laugh one minute and swoon the next (especially when he helps her reclaim her body). There's heart-pumping action and all the feels, along with a healthy dose of humor and spice.

Author's Note: Forbidden Hero is book 2 in the Redleg Security Series. Although it can be listened to on its own, but there are suspense-related spoilers if you listen out of order. The audiobook is narrated by Robert Hatchet and CJ Bloom.

perfect casting!!

I loved this book before, but the audio brought a whole new dimension. Robert Hatchet is perfect as Sawyer, with his sunshine, upbeat disposition and many crazy voices and accents the character uses to hide his pain. CJ Bloom is great as Sammy and her rage monsters inside. Sammy goes through so much in this book, and it was a gift to hear her inner thoughts voiced by CJ. A 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for sure.

Great Addition to the Series

This book was great...dealt with heavy...but balanced with humor and romance.

The narrators did a good job bringing these characters and the story to life.

Full Book Review:
I enjoyed this addition to the Redleg series...it tied into book 1 really well and tied into the storyline from that book and the characters we met.

I appreciated how Jackie handled Sammy's past and the issues it caused in her life as she tried to move forward. She handled it with care and in a honest and raw way.

I also really loved that while it wasn't something he'd done before, Sawyer was 100% on board letting Sammy take charge during intimate moments as she worked to heal from her past. Made him even more swoony in my book.

We got some lighter bits of humor thanks to Sawyer and Sue, and that really helped balance the book as it did deal with a lot of heavy.

I am really excited to continue the series...I know whose book is next but to be honest I really want Big Al and Madeline's story!

Loved it

Yes this is a suspense with some good spice, but it’s also hilarious. I could not stop laughing. The suspense, the love story and the spice were all good, but the characters one liners were amazing. I kept snickering even when it was totally inappropriate to be laughing. This book deals with some very serious stuff and both the characters have some horrible traumas, but the way they still found ways to laugh made the story for me. Loved every second of this listen and would highly recommend.

Meet your new book boyfriend 🫠

This book is AMAZING!! Forbidden Hero has hit me in all the feels! The banter is hilarious. The sexual tension had me on the edge of my seat until it broke. His level of understanding of her trauma. The brother’s best friend and bodyguard lover story line was better than I imagined. These Redleg Security guys are going to be the death of me.

The narrators for Sawyer and Sammy were on point. Robert Hatchet (Sawyer) and CJ Bloom (Sammy) really embodied these characters and brought them to life. I couldn't imagine not listening to the audiobook and only reading it.

YOU NEED TO READ OR LISTEN TO THIS BOOK!

The trauma Sammy endured can be triggering so I do suggest reading the trigger warnings.

Jackie Walker did it again.

Perfect Narrators!

OMG! I absolutely loved this book! Sawyer and Sammy are great people apart but put them in the same room and they are bumped up ten notches. The internal dialogue in both of their brains are hilarious!

I listened to this audiobook and was a little hesitant on the narrators at first but as it went they were spot on for Sawyer and Sammy. Loved the whole thing!
