About the book:

Kyle, one of the alpha men of Walker Security, is hot, bothered, and intense, and when Myla lands in his line of fire, she'll soon learn her secrets - and her passion - belong to him. From New York Times best-selling author Lisa Renee Jones.

Myla is beautiful, a dove with clipped wings, captive of the wolf, a vicious drug lord. One look into her eyes and Kyle could see the pain, the fear...the desperation. Or so it seems. He's been fooled before by a woman, and it cost him everything and everyone he loved. He won't be fooled again.

Cartel crime story with bodyguard romance

The premise was interesting. The characters had a certain amount of depth but I wasn't a huge fan of the writing overall. I admit to getting frustrated with the repetition in the couple discussions and fast-forwarding several times.

Narration was great, though.

Kyle and Maya!

A year ago, Maya was taken captive by Michael Alvarez of the Mexican cartel even if it looks like she didn’t survive. Since then she has tried to earn the trust of Michael as she knows that is the only way that she will ever be able to escape. She trusts no one and that includes the new bodyguard Kyle that has been hired to protect her.

Kyle is an ex-FBI agent and is now works for Walker Security. She is his best friend’s wife’s sister and he is not about to give until he has confirmation that she is dead or alive. He infiltrates the cartel and is assigned as her bodyguard but will she trust him and can she be trusted to keep her silence or both of them may end up dead.

Maya is strong despite her circumstances as she wants her freedom but what she wants more is to protect her sister from the wrath of the cartel. Kyle has been drawn to her in a way he has never felt even before they met and he only wants to protect her. I really enjoyed the narrators performance in particular when the suspense of the story picked up.

Leaves you wanting more

This book, like the others left me wanting more. Now on to the next book.

Awesome!

This novel is a great start to what I expect will be a riveting series. The action and plot kept me on the edge anticipating what would happen next. I'm looking forward to seeing all these main characters in the next novel in the series.

I enjoyed the performance.

If you could sum up Deep Under in three words, what would they be?

Deep Under seemed short. I felt it needed more substance. I did enjoy the performance.

A fast paced story about human trafficking

With human trafficking in the news, this is a timely story. Well writtem, good character development, and intense pressure to write a story that is true to the problem, the author delivers. The audio version adds the extra layer of interest. From the standpoint of a listener of audio books I am a recent convert and appreciate this medium.

Kyle...my favorite!

This series just keeps getting better, and I think Kyle is my favorite of the heroes. I am not sure how that happened, since he is not an actual Walker brother, but there is something about this man that is primal and fiercely brave while tender and protective. Myla is sought out by Alvarez while working and there is something about her that he likes. Now in his clutches, there is no escape, especially if she wants to keep her sister, Kara alive. Kyle has been tracking Myla for the past year, and when hired to do security for Alvarez, is given the task of guarding Myla. Their story from there is both fearsome and comforting. Think that is a contradiction? Certainly is, but when you listen to this book, there are so many emotions that you feel, one minute entirely frightened that there is no way out, and the next that wave of being unconditionally protected that it is the exact way I was feeling. Jones has woven the entire Walker brothers cast into this book, so there are many loose ends that are tied up, but more unanswered questions pop up. With Asher in the wings, I am anxiously awaiting his story and how the next chapter will play out.

This is the first of the series to have a dual narration with Eric Michael Summerer and Susannah Jones, giving the story more depth. I love dual narrations, I think it gives a story a different kind of voice. Summerer is amazing, and I love his style of performance. He is very good at giving the emotions necessary in this type of book. This is my first listen to Susannah Jones who I found very good, great pace and wonderful character voicing. She was an excellent Myla.

Yawn

The concept seem inviting and intriguing.... totally misleading. Its boring as heck. It's just missing something. I actually fell asleep at Ch 6. The narrators are the only positive.

I'm going to have to get each story in this series

After this first story I am totally hooked on this series. Lisa Renee Jones writes in a way that sweeps you into the action so when it comes to the end you're ecstatic but sad. Eric Michael Summerer and Susannah Jones were spectacular!

total mind blown

The depths and twists this story goes are fantastic. I feel as though I missed a story prior to this book when there were multiple references in the beginning about Kyle's past in the FBI and Royce pulling him out, saving him. This was to be a stand-alone but I can't help but feel there is more information I was missing prior to starting this book. otherwise terrific and suspenseful
