Bounty Hunters, Book 2

Length: 9 hrs and 16 mins

Publisher's summary

Roman "Quick" Webb is one badass bounty hunter on the crime-filled streets of Atlanta. He's fearless when it comes to carrying out his dangerous job alongside his longtime best friend and business partner, Duke. However, there is one thing that has begun to cause Quick concern and it's the dreadful thought of living out the rest of his life alone.  

Dr. Cayson Chauncey has been wildly attracted to the big, tattooed hunter for almost a year, ever since he performed the surgery that saved Quick's best friend's life. Cayson must've mistaken Quick's gratitude for something more, because the one time he tried to make his desires known, he was harshly rebuffed and left on the man's doorstep feeling stupid for hitting on an obviously very straight man.

Dr. Chauncey stirred up Quick's suppressed, most carnal desires from a place deep down inside of him. He'd reacted so badly the first time that now his sexy surgeon wanted nothing to do with him. It was going to take a fair amount of patience and a whole lot of wooing involved as Quick sets out to convince Cayson that he's worth another chance and that he is the brave lover who Cayson has been looking for.  

Contains mature themes.

Best book of the entire series!

Promises: Part 1 was good (decent), but this book was the one I was super excited for. IMO, this is the best one out of the entire Bounty Hunter line. The angst level wasn’t outrageous, there was a little bounty hunting drama along with a stalker ex, and an uber satisfying HEA. Quick and Cayson will forever remain my favorite couple after this. I think one of the things that I liked most about this series is that, despite characters with rough pasts, the story wasn’t mired in flashbacks. There are certain parts mentioned (more so in passing), but we don’t have to replay the nitty gritty details over and over again. It really cuts down on the angst and makes the overall story much more pleasant to get through. That is true for Parts 1, 2, and 3...but not Part 4, which is angsty as eff.

Absolutely Amazing!!

Oh my Goodness as the series goes on I fall more in love with every MC.

Quick and Cayson had a rough start. Quick identified as Bi but had never been able to explore that side of himself as he got his first girlfriend pregnant and had a shotgun wedding.

When Cayson first flirted with Quick, Quick reacted irrationally and threw Cayson out of his house. After Quick realized he was really attracted to Cayson he had some groveling to do.

Cayson unfortunately hasn't had the best luck with men. His sort of boyfriend (on and off) was still in the closet (WAY DEEP) and only wanted Cayson when he felt like a home cooked meal and Cayson to get on his knees for him, usually without reciprocating. When Cayson broke it off Dr. Joe didn't take it too well.

Throughout Quick's romancing of Cayson, Dr. Joe continues to stalk Cayson and threaten him causing serious problems .

This is a Must Read/Listen - I mean - OMG Aiden Snow. I totally Love his voice and he is So good at distinguishing the MCs and others.

book 2

As good as book one, Aiden Snow does the best mm sex scenes. another great couple comes together and takes us along for the ride. like father, like son. MM romance with a doctor and bail bonds men. Nice writing by A. E. Via.

AN ITCH FINALLY GETS SCRATCHED

Roman “Quick” Webb meets Dr. Cayson Chauncey when his friend Duke has to have a kidney transplant. He falls for the doctor but fights it and his inability to carry on a conversation in the doctor’s presence. The two go through a lot as Cayson is upset with the way Quick treated him when he went to check up on Duke at Quick’s house. Add in a crazy ex and the sparks fly to get these two to together. I like the way Quick came to Cayson’s rescue while admitting that he was bi-sexual. Forgiveness goes a long way.

The narrator has the voice to carry the passion of the characters and get the reader involved in the story. A perfect voice with accents.

once again you did it

I am so captivated by this author and its narrator.
marriage made in heaven this book is Beyond explanation

I was very uplifted with this story as with all
A.E VIA books I am overwhelmed

Aiden i love you that' is all i got to say

Another Great Addition!

Loved reading another story in the world of God and Day and the bounty hunters. It was another sensual and steamy narration by Aiden Snow. Quick is a beautiful soul with some serious anger issues. I am glad he found happiness. I hope to see a story with Ford and Brian getting their happy endings.

the storyline

the caring for the characters for one another and the Brotherhood wasn't much did this like

Perfect

Perfect series to read after the “Nothing Special “ series left me wanting more- there was a few appearances of God and Day, which was nice!!

Another One!

🌶️🌶️🌶️😮‍💨

But also 😳👀🫣

So good! Aiden snow is highly underrated in my
Humble opinion! He makes this story
Come to like.. I could listen to him ALL DAY!

Fun, sexy, adventurous but loving and sweet.

Love Roman, can't stand Cayson.

This story would have been a million times better if Cayson had been less pathetic, less gullible, and less full of self pity. It's a real shame because I was sooooo looking forward to Roman and Cayson's story. Even though Roman has some missteps in the beginning and he's far from flawless, he makes a huge effort and really gives their relationship his all. Cayson whines that he's never been loved, that he's boring, that nobody wants his body..... he's constantly doubting Roman's commitment to him because of his own insecurities, while believing that his ex isn't a total douche bag despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
While some of Cayson's hang-ups were well founded, it just became nauseating and ruined a potentially great book.
The redeemable parts were those involving Roman, Duke, Ford, Brian, Dana and Vaughn... they are the heart and soul of these novels.
I normally love all of A.E. Via's books, so full of rich, complex characters, captivating stories, and very hot sex scenes, this one really really missed the mark for me.
As always, AIDEN SNOW hands in another solid 5 star performance!

Awesome series

listened to nothing special series which was superb now this series loved the two MC liked how the nothing special characters were brought into the series Ms Via and Snow are just perfect together ❤️

Good listen with minor complaints

This was the second installment of the Bounty Hunters series. It was Roman aka Quick and Cayson's story. I appreciated Roman's transformation—shedding his ego when he finally decided to gain perspective and woo Cayson. He wasn't ashamed or proud to take relationship advice from his friend and son. He apologised properly to Cayson and made sure to treat him with the love and respect he deserved. I didn't appreciate how Roman provoked Joe in the beginning, even though Joe was already a nasty piece of work and continued to deteriorate into an even more despicable and deplorable person. I wish he had given a little bit more consideration to how it may affect Cayson. I also wish he hadn't called Joe 'Anna' as it felt a bit misogynistic and bullish.

One more thing I didn't care for was the Detective God and Day's behaviour. They acted like arrogant jerks for no reason.

Overall it was a good listen and I enjoyed it.

🎧 Aiden Snow was great in this book as well.

Love the series!!

I’m blasting my way through all ms vias books !! Absolutely love them from nothing special series and now the promises one

Who writes these things?

Yeah it was okay until, one of the characters said something along the lines of "I'm going to call you Ana like the bitch you are". The misogyny really just jumped out and considering it's most likely a woman or women that wrote this book, it's extra gross. Also, masculine watches? This is just giving me "just because we're gay/bi doesn't mean we aren't still manly men" vibes and I can't. About 60% in and I will not be completing this book. I tried and it's a no. Maybe It's because I'm older now or maybe it's because it's 2021 but, I can't switch off my brain long enough to finish this. Great narration though. A+ for that.

more then 5*

The story is always full stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. Aiden Snow is one of the top 5 narrators (so far) for me to follow and I hope to get a lot more books from him. And really, his SEXY and DEEP RUMBLING VOICE is something you DON'T want to miss!!
I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

Another Masterpiece from the Via/Snow Dreamteam

I've read all of Ms Via's books & am delighted with the extra dimesion Aiden Snow's narration brings every time!

In Promises II, Quick & Cayson's developing relationship & the circumstances in which they find themselves are brought to life with the passion & intensity the frequently action - packed, often emotional & totally hot story demands.

Can't wait for the next installment!

Lived up to its.....Promises

I am totally addicted to A.E. Via's Nothing Special series on Audible.

Now I am hooked on Promises: Bounty Hunters!

I have not previously read the stories in book/kindle format so these stories are all new to me and I LOVE them. Promises Part 1's story line was not as quite as enjoyable as Part 2. Quick and Caysons relationship is much more enjoyable and the suspense elements revolving around Doctor Joe had me on the edge of my seat.

As always the top quality narration by Aiden Snow really brings these characters to life.

10/10
