Publisher's summary

Usa Today best-selling author Ella Frank continues the story of Alexander Thorne and Sean Bailey in Breaking News.

Xander

Sean Bailey, the older brother of my lifelong best friend, has always been a surly, temperamental pain in my ass. But sometime during the last few weeks, I’ve gone and fallen head over heels for him.

Gruff and charming, charismatic in his own way, I’ve found myself looking past my preconceptions and discovered a whole new side to Detective Dick - a side I could fall in love with.

But life isn’t always easy - it can change course in the blink of an eye. Sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad. I know this because last night I experienced both sides.

I went to Sean for help in guarding my body; what I didn’t expect was for him to steal my heart.

Man...

ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER...
I LOVED THIS SERIES, THESE BOOKS BUT DANG IT...
Such short stories and now #3 isn't even on Audible yet...
Should have put all 3 books into 1 decent, regular sized book for all the trouble...
Dang it... Got me all hooked and on the edge of my seat and now I gotta wait AGAIN...😢😢😢

More Sean & Xander!

This picks up where the last book ended, so it’s best if you read/listen to the first book.

We get to see Sean & Xander’s relationship develop more. Getting more defined, getting deeper. Lingering and newer issues are presented and addressed.

And then we wait for the last book because it ends in a cliffy because Ella Frank likes to test us. Lol.

Charlie David, the way he narrates is so on point, he gave this book life. Excellent job.

Cliffhanger

These books are fantastic but cliffhangers. Very disappointed you can not get the 3rd book due to some problems. I would suggest not starting until the 3rd book is available.

Great story and Charlie really brings it to life.

I love Xander and Sean, this book starts off exactly where the last one ended. Ella has brought many characters to life and there has not been one that she hasn't made me fall in love with. Charlie David is a great choice, he gives each of these guys a voice that truly brings them to life. I could listen to him narrate all day.

Sean and Xander

This is book 2 in the Prime Time series and in all honesty, it was kind of a quick read. I read it in less than a day. Book 1 contained all the drama, the buildup, the big OMG moment. This book focused more on the aftermath. It was slower paced than book 1 with a lot of the book spent with Sean and Xander dealing with their emotions about not only what happened, but for each other. We get to see more of Sean's sweeter side and watch him try to share his "hobbies" with an allergic to outdoors Xander. It was utterly adorable.

By the time you make it to the almost end you are feeling pretty good about Xander and Sean's relationship and its solidity. Then it happens...The Ella Frank punch to the gut cliffhanger that has you swearing after you turn the page and that's all there is. I have a feeling much of the last book in the series will be dealing with this particular plot development. I'm hoping these two are strong enough to weather the storm together instead of apart. I guess we won't find out until Headlines releases in late September. Damn cliffhangers

Now the narration: Charlie David did this book justice. He had distinctive voices for each character and when the steamy bits came about he really shined. I swear I felt myself blushing while listening in my car on the way to work. I would def listen to more of this narrators work.

Fabulous!

Ella writes a great M/M story and Charlie brings it to life. Sean and Xander are super sexy in print and that much hotter in audio.

I can't wait for Headlines!

Breaking News is Sean and Xander in the aftermath of the "incident". Learning more about each other and dealing with the trauma is taking a lot out of Xander. Overwhelming guilt and new found feelings are making Anchorman crumble.

Good thing Detective Dick is around, I mean, Sean. While Detective Dick is still off duty, sweet, sexy, and romantic Sean is full present in Breaking News.

Follow these two like a desperate paparazzo and watch their relationship flourish. But beware, the doubts and nerves with make your stomach uneasy.

I can't wait for Headlines!

And the love story continues

Ella Frank and Charlie David have paired up again to bring part 2 of the series. Sean is recovering from his injuries sustained from saving Zander's life. Zander is recovering from the trauma of having been stalked and watching the man he loves almost die. The chemistry between these men who have known each other for most of their live, only to fall in love with each other, is undeniable. Now to get everyone else on board with it....
