Comeback Hero

Redleg Security, Book 3

De: Jackie Walker

Narrado por: Jacob Morgan, Ava Lucas

Everything changed the night Kri almost died.

Simply being her coworker or her friend is no longer enough.

I need more. I want forever.

When she woke up from that coma, her eyes sought mine.

My hand was the first one she held.

And for eight weeks, I stayed in the hospital with her.

No matter how many times she tried to push me away, I never faltered.

Two years ago, we shared a passionate moment, but she quickly retreated from our connection.

I've craved her ever since.

Kri's clearly been hurt before, so I've been patient.

But I can't stop fantasizing about how it'll feel to drive her wild with pleasure.

I'm done waiting.

My plan to win her heart starts falling into place when she agrees to live with me while she recovers.

But she's determined to keep it platonic.

Until the night she gives in and slams her mouth to mine.

With her back to the wall, I give her a glimpse of how it feels to surrender to her desire. And to me.

Then she pushes me away. Again.

Now I'm longing for the inevitable moment when she lets me claim her - body, mind, heart, and soul.

But danger knocks at our door.

And we've got a houseguest - an unruly teenager needing our protection.

No matter the threat, I'll do what I do best.

Protect those I love.

And make no mistake, I'll get the girl.

Whether she likes it or not.

More Redleg Greatness! Awesome Story & Listen🎧

Jackie Walker pens another fabulous novel set in her amazing “Redleg Security” series, a romantic suspense with a side of humor to lighten things up. Each book in the series features different characters, a member or two of Redleg Security, the books stand on their own, but characters from earlier books appear and knowing their back story is beneficial and adds depth, besides seeing the again is like seeing an old friend. This third book is Shepherd “Shep” Collins and Kristian “Kri” Dayton’s story. Both are members of Redleg Security and former military. Kri is recovering from the injuries she sustained while guarding Sammy and is also feeling guilty about what happened. Shep has been at her side while she was in the hospital and continues to be while she recovers. Kri hasn’t returned to work, with Shep with her Redleg is short staffed, so when a friend brings in a teenage girl, Valerie, in for protection, they ask Kri to be her temporary guardian and Shep to be her guard. Someone murdered Valerie’s parents and they think she may be a target and in danger, too. There are lots of layers to this story, Kri is dealing with her recovery and her guilt and Shep is dealing with PTSD, then his own inner demons cause his nightmares to return. Add a teenager into the mix to complicate matters, but having Valerie there takes their mind off their own troubles and they are busy trying to figure out who killed her parents and why. I adored these characters and loved watching Kri and Shep fight the chemistry that is between them, mostly Kri, and knowing it was going to be a losing battle for them. And how they were with Valerie had me appreciate them even more. It was great to see the other members of the Redleg, too. I loved how everything played out in this book, it is a cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, some angst, some humor to lighten things up, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Jackie Walker, thank you for another fantastic story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 The wonderfully talented Ava Lucas and Jacob Morgan did a fabulous job bringing these characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of who they were portraying. I loved how they took their roles and made them their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. Morgan nailed it as Shep, grasping every aspect of his personality, his humor and inner dialogue was hilarious, accent and all. Lucas was just as amazing as Kri, also grasping all sides of her personality, from her insecurities to her strength and badassery. They set the right tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their performance elevates the story to another level. Thanks for another amazing listen.

Shep + Kri = relationship goals

Really enjoyed this story ang the twiss and turns. Strong leading characters who are bodyguards with troubled pasts that bring them closer. Shep is so freaking dreamy and a man everyone will swoon after. A story about understanding who family is and how love is where you are.
🌶🌶🌶
Jacob Morgan...GAWD 🥵🥵🥵 He makes any story awesome. I didn't t love the femalemuch, but really loved how her character was written and it grew on me. I almost stopped reading because of her but glad I stuck with it.

Another Great Book in the Redleg Series

I love this book and audio! The story is about Kri and Shep, who we've met in other books, but this can be a standalone. I love the way their relationship grows and how hot they are together. Shep is a caring respectful partner to Kri and she is an understanding respectful partner to him.
The story is great and wonderfully told by Jacob and Ava. I swear they are plucked out of my head to be exactly what Shep and Kri should sound like. They both did a phenomenal job and brought to life the story as it should be.

Ten Stars

I adore this audiobook. It was brilliantly written. The flow, characters and storyline were flawless. This book is suspenseful, action-packed, fast-paced and gripping. The best part are the doses of humour imparted throughout brilliantly delivered by the talents of Jacob Morgan and Ava Lucas. I highly recommend this book.

Kri & Shep

This is the third book in a series and definitely my fave so far, it’s so rare for a series to get better with each book but this one is! I’ve done all three on audio so far and that is the way to go, all have had amazing narrators and this one was dual narration by Jacob Morgan and Ava Lucas and these two were both 🔥 Jacob as drunk Shep was one of my favorite audio scenes ever 😂 and Ava portrayed Kri’s emotional state throughout the book so incredibly well. I love romantic suspense so much and the tension here was next level. Most of the rom suspense I read has very little humor but the author makes me crack up one minute and then has me on the edge of my seat the next. Such a hard combination to pull off but she does it so well! I am already dying to read the next book but I’m waiting on audio, definitely check this whole series out if you like spice, tension, laughs and top tier narration.
