money the root of all evil

enjoyed the book in the story line was very enjoyable. look forward to reading more in the series. it's sad what people will do not to pay money out.

Clean light suspense

Great start to the series. This suspense is not too intense. A quick read and leaves just enough untold to lead to the rest of the series. I really enjoyed this book and the narrator.

Action packed and surprising

Megan Scott has just been assigned to go undercover to watch out for a bank robbery. Martin Cantrell wants to permanently stop paying alimony. Seems a strange way for these two lives to intersect, but the bank that is being robbed is owned by Martin's ex. Megan is just trying to prove her worth as a Special Agent. She takes on this job with seriousness, and a little fun as she gets to dress up like she was rich. As they are in the bank scoping it out, the robbery happens and everything you thought you knew, changes. I loved the twists in this book. They kept me on my toes. The suspense and excitement kept me listening until the end.

Liz Brand narrated this very well. Liz has an easy to listen to voice. She was able to keep all the character's voices distinct and easy to follow. Liz Brand enhanced the overall experience of this book through her narration.
