Publisher's Summary

Sometimes, trust can get you killed.

Deep Del Toro, an Iniquus special operative on the Strike Force Team, listened to the radio as the announcer gave details of Lacey Stuart's upcoming press conference. He had watched video of her fighting off the FBI agent and escaping from a murder scene the night before, and now she was turning herself over to the police. What Deep's practiced eye saw in the video was a highly choreographed crime. But somehow Lacey had thwarted the professionals' plans. She was in imminent danger.

When Deep saves Lacey from a sniper's bullet at the press conference, he becomes enmeshed in a mystery that includes the FBI, the CIA, and a tangle of interconnected international crimes.

Deep and Lacey work as a team to discover who plays the good guy and who plays the bad guy in a gray world where right and wrong easily overlap.

Amazing story, full of action and suspense

Once I started I couldn’t stop listening, the characters were very well developed and the storyline was intriguing. Troy Duran did an excellent job in the performance of this book. I think I’m going to put him right up there with AIDEN SNOW, which is High praise indeed. You will enjoy this book.

Very entertaining story and performance!!!

I love this audible book. This is Deep and Lacey's story. The characters are so likable and I love the writing. Fiona Quinn writes various phrases that just tickle me or touch my heart or reach into my soul. I love the excitement and the mystery in this book. This is just such an entertaining book and excellent performance. 5 stars all the way.

In Too Deep….

I really liked this audio book. The whole book was read by Troy Duran which makes it worth the price of admission!

captivating

couldn't see until well into the story how things may play out. Mr Duran did a spectacular job, my current favorite narrator. only complaint is (spoilers!) the scene with the vehicle falling off the ledge - really? keep it from falling off with a rope tied around a tree? ugh.
still loved the book

great story

this is my first book by this author and I must say I love the story it was different and unique

Weak girl meets alpha male

Girl falls apart often and always at the most inopportune moments. Repeatedly avoids both gathering all information and/or absorbing information before making life or death choices. Also repeatedly handicaps other's decision making by failing to fully divulge information. Alpha male endlessly saves her. And somehow he falls in love? They both need a therapist!

If you’ve read other Fiona Quinn, maybe?

I was disappointed in this book. Didn’t end up finishing it. First, I felt like I had come in mid-story. Audible recommended this to me as a start of a new series, but I felt as I had missed a lot.

Before we start this story, our male lead, Deep, is already committed to Lacy - from only meeting her & a touch. What the wha? Why is he drawn to her? And Lacy feels similarly, but because she has some difficulties, doesn’t pursue Deep. Even after she calls on him for help, she holds back. Honestly, she seems pretty wimpy and not worth (what I assume is a great guy - we don’t really know from THIS book) Deep.

So this entire story is about pulling information out of Lacy and putting that together with what Deep uncovers. It’s so slow & tedious. Also, an FBI agent, Steve, is in the mix who also has it bad for Lacy (why???). After she disappears, we get too many scenes of Steve hand wringing about Lacy without moving the story forward.

On the romantic side. There is no sizzle or apparent draw between Deep & Lacy, we’re just TOLD they each think the other is “it.” Also, they’re having sex, but there’s no heat surrounding them at all. Some may be due to the narrator, I’m not sure. He seems okay, but there’s no real emotion, ever.

Anyway, if you’re a Fiona Quinn fan & have read more of her previous series, and know these characters already, you may enjoy this. If you want character development, a decent pace, an engaging heroine, and a romance that makes sense, this isn’t going to do it.

Fabulous book

Wow what an amazing and complex story. I was on edge the whole way through this book. I loved seeing Deep go all Alpha with his woman. Not in an obvious way but a sensitive and caring way. I’m excited to see what transpires next. Wonderful narration too.
