Rogue

Phoenix Rising, Book 1

De: Brynley Blake

Narrado por: Wayne Mitchell, Rachel Woods

Reeling from the death of her daring Navy SEAL brother, reserved McKenzie Prescott decides to honor him in the only way she can think of—by finishing his bucket list. Suddenly, she's doing things she's never dreamed of—like jumping off waterfalls . . . and inviting the intoxicating stranger she meets in Las Vegas to help her with some of the more racy items on the list . . .

Noah Payne used to be a Navy SEAL . . . until his job cost him his family. Now he wants revenge, and he's not above playing dirty to get it. His current mission—to find a missing shipment of guns—is the last piece of the puzzle. But his only lead is Liam Prescott's bucket list. Noah figures that by getting close to Liam's sister, McKenzie, he'll soon get his hands on the list. Only keeping his hands off a suddenly sexy McKenzie is turning out to be the real challenge!

Contains mature themes.

Better to read then listen to

Lead male voice (Noah) speaking as lead female (Mackenzie) made me CRINGE. All I could think of was Billy Madison (Adam Sandler baby talk) and that IS NOT SEXY AT ALL.
The story and all other voices and characters were fine. Just male leads voice as a female was horrific. Nails on a chalkboard would have been about the same. I’ve never once had an issue until this audible. Just giving honest feedback, and my opinion.

like the concept

Noah & McKenzie: trigger- loss, grief, military, gun trafficking. McKenzie's brother has recently passed and the only way she sees through her grief is to do everything that's on his bucket list. Noah is a grieving ex Navy SEAL, currently working with the cartel in order to gain revenge. He's given the order to follow McKenzie to try to find guns that have gone missing. What they never expected was for Noah and McKenzie to fall for each other. This is a good story, slightly slow burning but when it heats, it's a full on blaze. There's action and mystery as well as some sweet moments. I really enjoyed it all except the FREAKING CLIFFHANGER!!!

UGH

Kept thinking it would get better...that it would come together...it didn't. Not even curious enough to attempt the rest of the series. Male narrator was trying to be sexy...came off as overly dramatic and creepy!
