Dìleas Security Agency, Book 1

De: C.S. Smith

Narrado por: Cole Robert Eubanks

He’s hostage to his past. Betrayal and death haunt former British Special Air Service captain Lachlan Mackay after a disastrous mission in the mountains of Afghanistan ends his military career. His job with an American firm, LAI, gives him the opportunity to topple a powerful warlord, avenge the dead, and free himself from the crushing guilt of trusting the wrong woman. His new colleague, a petite redhead with wide hazel eyes, seems determined to breach his defenses. He knows better than to trust her, but he craves her light to chase away his shadows. She has a secret that could destroy him.

Sophia Russo’s dream job as LAI’s new director of legislative affairs takes a dangerous turn when she learns someone at the company may be trafficking weapons to an Afghan warlord. She agrees to spy on the prime suspect—the enigmatic and dangerously attractive head of global security, Lachlan Mackay. The man she’s secretly nicknamed the “Hot Scot.” Despite the mounting evidence against him, Sophia sees the pain Lachlan tries to conceal, and her heart refuses to believe he’s a criminal. But to save Lachlan, she may have to betray him. The past won’t stay dead.

When Sophia comes to Lachlan with shocking information about his division, he reluctantly joins forces with her to unearth the truth. His vow to keep his hands off her goes up in flames when he realizes someone from his past is using her as a pawn in a dangerous game. To save them both, Lachlan is forced to do the one thing he swore he’d never do again—trust a woman with his life and his heart.

Just think Jamie Fraiser, but in a suit! yes, plz

OMG! I finally got to this one on my TBR, and now I’m already loading up the rest of the series on audiobook. For starters, I am a complete sucker for Scottish men with that brogue accent, and Lachlan is basically Jamie Fraser in a suit, armed with a Sig Sauer and a whole arsenal of hidden weapons on his 6’4” frame. Good golly, what a hero!

This story had it all: fantastic pacing, non-stop action, heart-pounding suspense, and a romance that kept me hooked from start to finish. I’m beyond excited that I’ll be meeting this author at a book convention later this year, and after this book, I am officially stoked!

And can we talk about the narration? Eubanks absolutely nailed it. His accents for every character were on point- from the brooding Scottish Lachlan, to his Texan best friend Nathan Long, to British Intelligence officer Ryder Montague. Each voice was distinct, immersive, and completely spot-on.

Bottom line: just click Buy It Now. This book is amazing, and I can’t wait for more!

Amazing book, Audio is even better!

If you enjoy a military overprotective alpha-hole who saves her from nightmares in his past... Look no further. This book has an amazing storyline, with some spice on the side.. Cole brings this story to life with his narration. Absolutely reccomend!!!
