In my top 3 of this series!

I have listened to this book multiple times, it is one of my "comfort listens." I held back on writing a review due to time and energy constraints, but especially because I've struggled with finding the best way to express just how how much this story means to me. This book has a lot going on, a great plot that makes the reader/listener run the emotional gamut, while never being exactly sure what's really going on, wondering what will happen next, but not in a frustrating way. I enjoyed the twists and turns and loved taking the ride right along with my favorite characters. It's all thanks to the author's stellar writing and imagination and narrator Troy Duran's incredible ability to hit every inflection, nuance and emotional note effortlessly. He gets inside these characters' heads like nobody's business and interprets this series perfectly. As always, Troy and this series gave me the best feeling of going home, spending time with wonderful friends who are more than happy to have you join in on their adventures.

Gabe....

Once again, Irish Winters pulls me into a book and doesn't let me out until it's over! This story packs an emotional punch to the team as Alex Stewart, their boss is pronounced dead. That can't be true! But they saw it happen, they watched him die. Now trying to adjust to their new normal and help Kelsey, life begins to take a new shape. There is doubt lingering though, and hints that Alex is still out there. A new danger is lurking. Who can they trust? Gabe is new to the company. An amputee, his military career ended, but he still has a lot to give. And he does just that. Risking his life, and falling for Kelsey's nurse, we find the essence of Gabe. He is quite the hero and doesn't stop til the job is done. I have listened to all the books up to this point, and each time I listen I find a new favorite. This one is very special I think because it encompasses not only our new hero, but all the characters we know and love. We felt their pain, frustration and love for Alex and each other. Their undying loyalty to the country and finding the truth is admirable and just leaves me wanting to start the next book.

Troy Duran continues his fantastic narration of this series. He truly is a gem when it comes to these heroes. Each voice consistent for each character between books, he is smooth as silk. He has an incredible ability to build suspense and pull us into the story. I enjoy his performances and this one is stellar.

Packs An Emotional Wallop!

Wow this one really packs an emotional wallop right from the start. It begins with Alex Stewart getting killed! Yes you read that right, Alex gets killed! Talk about heartbreaking! I just couldn’t believe it and let me tell you I didn’t put this book down until I found out what was going on. Gabe’s story was another emotional one from Irish Winters and once again she kept me glued until the very end. She totally took me on an emotional roller coaster ride and I used up a fair amount of tissues along the way. Troy Duran is simply amazing. His narration always makes the listening experience so incredibly enjoyable and you feel as though you are listening to these characters in real life. This is definitely an audiobook not to be missed!

Captivating!

This is the eighth book in the amazing Series In The Company of Snipers, a Romantic Suspense. I recommend you to listen to this Series in order. This installment is emotional and enthralling. Gabe and Shelby are great characters. The cast of supporting characters is amazing. I love these Series with characters intertwined. The storyline is filled with mystery, action, suspense, and twists and turns. This is another great addition to the Series. Troy Duran did a wonderful job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to the next book in the Series, Maverick. If you like Romantic Suspense, this Series is definitely for you. I HIGHLY recommend it.

A Struggle

I found the narrator's voice creepy as he read the love scenes which were imo way too long and drawn out. oh I'm no pride either.
