Romantic suspense best seller: Will his stubbornness prevent him from trusting the woman he desires? In Sheila Kell's provocative novel of suspicion and need, a handsome security specialist and a feisty FBI agent are tied by grief and attraction...and the fervor of the unknown.

He's stubborn. She's independent. Together, desire will determine their future.

Hamilton Investigation & Security leader Jesse Hamilton swears never to love again. The risk of losing his heart is too painful. Burying himself in work and caring for his daughter, he doesn't expect strong-willed FBI Special Agent Kate Ross to break down his carefully constructed walls.

When Kate is injured, Jesse pulls the full force of HIS into action to protect her. He refuses to be the reason behind another senseless death. Making a decision that could cost Kate her life, Jesse must decide just how far he's willing to go to save the woman his heart desires.

Great listen

So glad my friend referred me to author Sheila Kell. I’ll definitely be reading/listening to more of her books. Couldn’t stop until I completed it.

Great story (but graphic sex)

This book has great characters and suspense. I do not care for explicit sex so I skipped those parts. The narration is good. It's an entertaining book.

I love this book!

*audio copy received from author*

I’ve read this book. I’ve loved his book. I’ve wanted a Hamilton man since the first pages but to hear it out loud makes it that much more awesome. I love the characters, especially AJ... haha

Jesse and Kate sure do have a battle ahead of them and most of that is them busting their butts to not only catch a bad guy but to keep from killing or ravishing each other. Two hard headed, determined people in one room, locked away to keep Kate safe... could be bad, but it was quite the opposite.

I love the way Sheila is able to bring the characters to life and give us all a story we absolutely love.

An exciting beginning to a series with danger, family, and love!

His Desire is the suspenseful romance between Jesse, the founder of HIS, and Kate, an FBI agent. Kate’s life is soon in danger as she’s seen walking around and talking to Jesse, but Kate’s not so sure that she’s the actual target. As the danger get closer, so do Jesse and Kate. Will they be able to find love, a future, and the killer before someone gets hurt?

I loved reading this book, but listening to it added a whole new dimension. Mr. Beck had a strong voice and his impersonations were very well done! My only complaint would be that sometimes it was difficult to tell when a break in the chapter happened, so when there was a change in topic, I thought I had missed something at first. I look forward to listening to the rest of the series!

Once I Started, I Couldn't Stop Listening!

I enjoyed Carson Beck's narration. I loved how the phone calls were presented as if we were listening to both ends of the conversation. I enjoyed listening to it as much as I did reading it!

A great beginning for this series


This is the beginning of a series that promises to keep us on our toes.
HIS is is a security company started by Jesse Hamilton . It employs some of his family members, as well as former military and FBI agents.
Jesse has suffered a great loss, and has hardened himself to ever loving again. He carries a guilt in his heart and soul. He dedicates his life to his job and his 5 yr old daughter. FBI agent, Kate Ross, is his brother’s AJ partner. There is an under current between Kate and Jesse, but it isn’t until she is injured while walking with Jesse, that they become close. That’s when the story not only heats up, but the suspense intensifies and the whodunit will keep you guessing.
A well developed plot with engaging characters. Though it’s a stand alone, loose ends are left which I am sure will make for interesting stories in the future.
I want to commend the narrator of this audiobook. Excellent delivery .
I was gifted this audiobook. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Enjoyable listen

If you could sum up His Desire in three words, what would they be?
Steam, romance, intrigue

Any additional comments?
First in this series. This was an enjoyable listen. I read the book prior to listening to the story. There were spots that I did not remember in the book. There were several months between the two. I have to say, I liked the read better than the listen but both were good. One thing that makes this series is the intrigue. It is not all about the steam.

Soooo Glad It's Here!

I'm a fan of this series. Start to finish, all of the HIS stories are golden in my eyes. So I was totally stoked to hear that they are now being made into audiobooks; a media I never expected to enjoy, but can't seem to go a day without now.

This is the first book in the series, and from the standpoint of narration it seems to have taken Carson Beck several chapters to step comfortably into his characters. This is especially notable with the female characters, unfortunately. Main character FBI Special Agent Kate Ross' voice is shrill, whiney, and distinctly annoying for the first few chapters. But just when I was about to give up (admittedly thinking I just couldn't listen to the voicing any longer), the narrator seemed to slide into the characters like they were well-worn shoes. From that point, the narration was okay. In fact, Carson Beck's male voicing is decidedly *ahem* hot.

If you are not yet familiar with the men and women of HIS, pick up the book, or grab the new audiobook and enjoy the story. It's a great series with dynamic, richly written characters full of love and loyalty.

Sizzling Romantic Suspense

Great First in the H.I.S series. Alpha men and strong women each with vulnerabilities. Beyond steamy straight to sizzling bedroom scenes. The real beauty of this romantic suspense is the twists and turns. Come along on this great ride❤
