Beyond the Call of Duty

Wings of Gold, Book 1

By: Tracy Tappan

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

When you're already an adrenaline junkie Navy pilot, it’d be smart to avoid partnering with a sexy, reckless DEA agent on a deadly mission where any wrong move could land you in the sack with her.... Oops, too late.

All but disowned by his father for joining the military, Lieutenant Eric “LZ” O’Dwyer now lives his life on the edge of danger. High-risk flying, lots of armed bad guys, and a vicious drug lord to take down are all the temptations he needs to jump onboard an interagency op with the DEA. He’s just not thrilled about having to get naked.

If Special Agent Nicole Gamboa has to do one more mission with a partner staring at her breasts, she’s going to hit somebody. Batter up, you damned cocky Navy pilot! Guaranteed this guy will take advantage of his dark Irish good looks to slip a little collateral seduction into their steamy mission. Let him try. A childhood spent in hiding has trained her how to harden herself.

But when their mission spirals out of control, Eric’s reaction to the catastrophe floors her, and her carefully built protections begin to crumble. Is this the one swoonworthy man she can depend on when the tables turn and the ruthless drug lord gets his steely hooks into her?

Beyond the Call of Duty is the first in Tracy Tappan’s electrifying romantic suspense series about naval aviators—helicopter pilots of courage and honor who proudly wear the Wings of Gold.

Great audible!

Loved who the author got to narrate this book. I could listen to his voice all day. I had already read the book and really enjoyed listening to the story. I will be buying more audibles from this author.

how accurate they could be

wish the characters got together sooner but had great detail. good range of characters also

beyond the call of duty

this story was just ok. I expected a lot more action. the romance was weak. the Narrator was good but could have been better with 2.

Story had potential

This was a FB recommendation, the premise i liked to I got it.

Starting with the good stuff: the narrator was great for a male. not so much as a female but enjoyed the narration none the less.

Now the not so good. grown adult men in the military or otherwise do not call their potential woman girlfriend. its sounded like a 15 yr old asking a girl to go steady. And starting the way you did, left no room for world building which, in order to invest in the characters, you needed.

I wanted a story I could believe in. One with teeth. Instead we got stereotypical Hispanic drug cartel, rich white dude with a daddy issues coming to the rescue and an fmc who said all the strong things but did none of them.

I really wanted to like it.
