Publisher's Summary

A group of women walk into a bar....

Sounds like the start of a crude joke, right? Yeah, well, the joke's on me because I'm investigating the gorgeous one in the heels with the great body. Jensen Montgomery.  

Now, I'm treading that area between right and wrong, good and bad, where sin and honor meld to become gray. Not that I haven't been here before. Hell, I've made my career in the gray. I never hesitate going to battle when my gut tells me I'm right. And right now, my gut - among other things - is speaking loud and clear about Jen Montgomery.  

She's in a bad situation. Not just bad - deep and black and ugly.  

And I'm about to make it worse. She just doesn't know it yet.  

Contains mature themes.

Holy heck! Talk about romantic thrillers!

Audiobook: Narrators - Stephen Dexter & Lidia Dornet

I love doing a reread via audiobooks. I already loved this book, but hearing it come to live through the talent of these narrators was freaking amazing! They both did a wonderful job of the characters and both did well doing male/female voices which is where I struggle some of the time. Not so here. So glad I got this on audio!



Holy heck! Talk about your romantic thrillers! This is definitely one to check out!

Jensen and Eli will for sure be going onto my favorite heroine/hero list. I absolutely loved everything about them. Jen is fierce and independent with a bit of sass but man oh man, she’s got trouble up the wazoo. Talk about a bad situation. This is that into infinity. Eli might be the man to help her out of her troubles but he’s also carrying a boatload of his own so there’s no telling where all the crazy that’s going on around them will end.

I adored the fact that Eli was so completely dedicated to helping Jensen from pretty much the first moment they met. He’s in a precarious position himself but as someone who is quite comfortable with life’s gray areas, it’s something he may just be able to make work. If his protective instincts towards Jen wasn’t enough for me to love him, then his possessive jealousy pushed me right over and made me giddy at finding a new perfect hero.

This book starts out pretty fast and it never slows down. I couldn’t get enough of this story and found myself consuming each page voraciously, never skimming or even wanting to skim. There is no repetition and the writing is fresh and crisp with a hint of humor to balance out the drama. The steam is off the charts and by the time this couple fully consummate their relationship I’m sure my Kindle was in danger of a complete melt down. Secondary characters are freaking amazing without taking over the story and I’m now that fan that is never satisfied with the last book…I need the next one NOW!

I’m definitely recommending this to any and everyone who loves their romances with some suspense, a bit of a twist, plenty of steam, and a hero and heroine who will steal your heart.

SIMPLE.

Great listen!

Love this book - we first met Eli in Paths as an undercover FBI agent and Jenn in Athica Lane, Cam's sister. They've come together due to a "bad situation." Narrators do an excellent job.

Amazing!!!

I loved this audiobook. Loved it loved it loved it. Start to finish it was perfect.

Not The Killers

I bought this thinking it would be like the Killers. which I stumbled upon and enjoyed for its beach read mindlessness. It isn't. The second half of the book improves in terms of plot development, but its not worth a credit. A lot of the problem is the narration. Stephen Dexter is all wrong for the character and off-putting. And every time I looked at the cover art my stomach almost emptied. UGH Skin crawlingly creepy.

Story: Yea - Narration: Nay

The story was good. I especially liked the twist Ms. Asher provided on the over done wealthy, hunky dominant man saves independent but not as wealthy, beautiful or dominate woman. I’ve enjoyed several of Ms. Asher’s novels, this one was a little more difficult to get into. It is my opinion that the narrator(s) can make or break a story. In this case, the narration made the story Meh.

⚡️CUFF ME - I'M YOURS! 🔗

🍾This book was HYSTERICAL! I actually laughed out loud about every 5 min!!! The characters were well developed and complex -nice!

Kudos BRYNN, and wonderful job narrating LIDIA & STEPHEN....10 stars!

I loved how the writer didn't make the female lead a dummy! ( She was fearless!! HOT DAMN!) Both characters were very interesting ... I was excited to keep listening.

The book had lots of twists, thrilling moments and just the perfect amount of HOTNESS! Great beginning, middle and end! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

OVERALL HYSTERICAL - SEXY and DAMN FUN! Just get this one friends!! - NAMASTE

not my favorite

I'm so sad that I didn't love this one! The story was good but I kept losing interest in the middle of the book. I'm clearly in the minority here and usually love Brynne Asher's books. I look forward to what she does next and will still continue with this series because I'm curious about the rest of the family.

bad

great story, lots of action great romance. good ending. I was a little surprised who one of the bad guys was. I guessed the brother in law but not the secretary. I also was surprised the FBI lady killed two people. very enjoyable book.

Great narrations

Narrators are the best. Characters are great. Wish all audibles were this entertaining. Worth the purchase.

Wow

This one takes a minute to get going but once it does. Look out. Loved it

Too much unnecessary info

While the core story is nice enough (predictable but still enjoyable), I often found myself fast forwarding during scenes that just fill pages but don’t add anything to the story.
And we get it, she loves shoes… after the tenth time it becomes a bit cumbersome.

All in all a decent spare time read.
