Action-packed

This was a riveting audiobook narrated by the talents of Jamie Kersey and Kenneth Elliott. This special ops CIA case involves betrayal and treason. It is fast-paced and action-packed. There were many twists and turns. it was well written with wonderful characters.

A Gripping & Emotional Romantic Suspense!

Kelly Myers pens another fantastic novel set in her “Platinum Security” series and it is an action-packed romantic suspense that grabs your attention right from the start and holds it captive for the entire book. Each book in the series features a different member of Platinum Security and can be enjoyed as a standalone. Some characters crossover from other books, but everything you need to know about them is included in the descriptive details. This book is Ryker Flynn and Avery Archer’s story and what a story it is. Ryker is a former Navy Seal, a sole survivor of a mission that went wrong. He not only lost his entire team that day, but his best friend, Luke Archer, too. The reason the mission turned out badly was because the CIA’s information was all wrong and it was Avery Archer, CIA agent and Luke’s sister who fed their team that information. She was devastated by that, and heartbroken by the loss of her brother and the look of hatred Ryker had for her at Luke’s funeral. She left the CIA and now, two years later, she receives a call telling her it was a setup and she was a scapegoat and the caller has proof. This cryptic caller wants her to meet in person, but it is in the same country where her brother died. She wants nothing more than to clear her name and the only person she trusts to help her is Ryker, but she is not sure if he would hear her out. Ryker did not want to hear her out, but had second thoughts and agreed to help. Informing the others at Platinum Security, he and Avery set off to meet this person, and the intel leads them to the same drug cartel Ryker’s team was trying to take down. There is never a dull moment in this book and once again the world building and plotting is fantastic and the drama is nonstop. Despite all Ryker has been through, he is still a bad arse and Avery could hold her own, too. Kelly Myers, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

And for the fabulous narration, Jamie Kersey and Kenneth Elliott continue to do an amazing job bringing these characters and story to life. Their portrayal of the characters is spot on and they are believable in every role they play. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the character’s emotions and projected them into his performance. These entertaining storytellers are versatile voice artists and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fantastic listen.

Love and Forgiveness

Of course this is a love story, but it’s a lot about being able to forgive yourself. Forgive yourself when you are the only survivor. Forgive yourself when your information is wrong and puts others in danger. Forgive yourself even when others can’t. These two lost souls found their way to each other through shared tragedy and it was beautiful. Each story in this series tugs at the heartstrings and I’m loving all of them!

Engaging story and characters!

Avery and Ryker.

You couldn't help but root for these two. Both suffered such great tragedy and put themselves in their own personal hell after losing loved ones and parts of themselves when a military mission went awry. I like how there was angst and build up between them but not too much, like they didn't fight their attraction to the point where I normally roll my eyes in other books. There are definitely twists and turns where they don't get to enjoy one another for long because they once again are faced with highly stressful and dangerous situations. I have not read the previous books and although I'm sure it would add to the story, I don't feel like I absolutely had to read them either to enjoy this one. Although after reading this one I know the other ones have to be good. Both narrators were new to me and did a great job, totally added to the story.

Pure perfection

This book was pure perfection. Kelly Myers perfect wove together a romantic suspense that combines a story line full of danger, suspense, action and steam. Jamie Kersey and Kenneth Elliot captivated me from start to finish with their amazing narration that brought this story to life.
