Midnight Reckoning

Fortress Security, Book 2

By: Rebecca Deel

Narrated by: Kristina Fuller Yuen

Her sister was a world-class jewel thief. But she crossed the wrong person, and now, Sophie's baby may pay the price.

Sophie Valero has spent her life living down her last name. In a family of murderers, thieves, and con artists, she's the black sheep. As the owner of a legitimate business, the toughest challenge she faces is helping customers find the right herbal supplements to enhance their health.

But when she's attacked in her home, Sophie is given 72 hours to find what her sister stole. The price of failure? Her son's life. Since the retired cat burglar can't go to the local police, she turns to the one man who might help her. If he can forget she's a Valero.

Secret service agent Micah Winter stopped for a cup of coffee and left with a bullet in his leg. The gangbanger who shot him left in a body bag. Now, Micah is home on medical leave with a contract on his head. The last thing he wants is to protect a beautiful jewel thief. Yet, within minutes of seeing Sophie again, he has no choice but to offer his protection.

Micah and Sophie team up to locate the items her sister stole, while staying one step ahead of the gang determined to kill Micah and the local law committed to pinning jewel thefts on Sophie. Micah vows to neutralize the threats to Sophie because the federal agent has fallen hard for his cat burglar. But the deadline is hours away, and a killer is closer than he thinks.

Great suspense and narration!

This is the story of Micah and Sophie. The characters are wonderful and the suspense fills the pages. I enjoy the health aspects of this story as well. The narration is very good! This is an very enjoyable book and narration. I have listened to it 3 times now.

Great Suspense but Some Story Issues

I have listened to other books by this author and I have always appreciated that they're a mostly clean read, well written and the plots are pretty believable. The characters are likable and have great development, the overall plot and story is fantastic but the romance is such a fast forward experience that I struggled with it, I think she could have stretched the time frame out a bit more. It has the feel of other suspense movies like Borne Identity or Taken which is a lot of fun and makes it a hard book to put down.

Parents- PG13- more young adult
Language: none
Violence: normal to mystery genre, nothing graphic
Sexual Content- There's a few snuggling in bed scenes, discussions of desires, kissing, no intimate bedroom scenes

The narrator does a great job and was easy to listen to.

Loved it!

I have never read stories by Rebecca Deel or listened to narration by Kristina Yuen. I really enjoyed the story and the narration. I will definitely read/ listen to both of them again. I received a free review copy audiobook and voluntarily leave this review

This book is so bad on so many levels

First and foremost, I thought this book had potential. The storyline was actually interesting, and it kept me listening in spite of the fact that Kristinal Fuller Yuen has to be the WORST NARRATOR I have ever listened to!!!! She literally did voice overs for all characters and they all were BAD!!! I will be requesting my credit back for this book, this is BEYOND ridiculous.
As for the actual story, the main female character got on my last nerves, the guy for the most part was ok, although the character development was subpar at best. This book was so painful to listen to, and it was somewhat predictable.
All in all, maybe this book is somewhat ok, its just this piss poor NARRARATION that killed it for me, maybe you will like it, but honestly, this book should be reread with a different person, like..... Aiden Snow, Troy Duran, hell Jason Clark would be better than this chick!!!
What an utter disappointment!!!! Customer Service, here I come, " Need that credit back!!"
