Kate Reus & Sophie Eastlake are awesome

This is the 6th book of Katie Reus and I can't get enough of her books. Sophie Eastlake does an incredible job of narrating ... it's a win-win!

EXCELLENT BOOK

This was my first book from author. It was captivating, good plot and loved the steamy scenes.

Excellent book

Just what I needed to listen to over the break. Smart, occasionally funny thriller with the best narration.

LOVE IT!!!!!

If there is one thing I love about any Katie Reus book is that they are reliably really good. She is my go to author. Love the new series and I can't wait to see what is next in this series.

Hot romance paired with dangerous suspense!

Her time was running out….

The tidings of a new series from Katie Reus is exciting news indeed! Resurrection by Katie Reus marks the impressive debut of Katie’s new Redemption Harbor romantic suspense series. As all of Katie’s stories do, Resurrection drew me in from the start. Since this is the first book in the series, it also introduces the cast of characters many of whom are friends who have known each other since childhood. There’s unquestionably a score between Colt and his father that I hope Katie will delve into in future installments too. This is primarily the story of CIA operatives Colt Stuart and Skye Arévalo with a second couple figuring strongly, ex-linebacker Mercer and his wife, Mary Anne, an oncologist. The story is aptly told from their four viewpoints so you get into each of their heads at the appropriate times.

I’m not going to go into the story… You can read the blurb if you want a quick synopsis. Believe me, having this story unfold as you read is a breathtaking experience that you won’t soon forget.

The characters are likeable and come across as totally realistic. Colt has been mourning Skye’s death from an explosion while she was on an undercover operation for six long months when he shockingly comes face-to-face with her while rescuing his friend, Mary Anne, from a Mexican cartel. For Colt and Skye, this story is a second chance for them to connect. They are perfectly paired and have a combustible chemistry. Their sexy times are steamy with a capital S. Both Colt and Skye are my heroes: loyal, smart, tough and caring. I especially like that Colt wasn’t threatened in the least by Skye’s badassery and that she is comfortable in her own skin.

Mary Anne had been reported dead with a team of medical personnel who had been horrifically gunned down two months ago. Ends up that she was the lone survivor… Mary Anne was everyone’s friend and Mercer’s everything.

The cast of other characters are just as phenomenal and incredibly drawn. I can’t wait to read their stories in the following books!

I listened to the audio which was expertly voiced by Sophie Eastlake. Sophie never fails to produce a flawless and polished performance and Resurrection is not an exception. She voices multiple characters consistently differentiating between them. Both her male and female voices sound genuine and she exudes all the proper emotions. Her voice is crystal clear and easy to understand. I love to listen to her narrations as they always make my listening experience a joy.

I am addicted to Katie’s books. Resurrection is hair-raising and packed with passion and danger from the start to the finish. The romance and the suspense are heart and soul intertwined – one never overshadows the other. The surprising twist at the end left me appreciating karma and grinning like a Cheshire cat. There’s no cliffhanger ending, but readers will undeniably be enticed to pick up the sequel, which is thankfully already available. Savage Rising is already queued on my phone ready for me to hit play! If you enjoy hot romance paired with edge-of-your-seat-suspense-which-never-lets-up in an action-packed, fast-paced adventure, I highly recommend that you check out Resurrection soon!!!!!

WOW PERFECT!

Would you listen to Resurrection again? Why?

RESURRECTION
Resurrection is Katie Reus' newest book that is based in Redemption Harbor. Once again, Katie has written a great book with well developed characters. This storyline kept me engrossed through out the book. This story is about Skye and Colt, and about second chances. I very much enjoyed this book and am looking forward to more in the Redemption Harbor series. Sophie Eastlake is once again narrator. She does a great job with voices. I received an audible book for my honest review.

An excellent beginning to this great series

I discovered this author with this story when I read the book. I became a fan forever. I decided to listen to the audiobook and loved it even more.
This is the first book in a series that promises to be keep us on the edge of our seats for a long time.
The main characters in this one are Skye Arevalo, a CIA agent that to save her boyfriend and his friends, fakes her death, and Colt Stuart, the CIA agent she left behind, who has yet to recover from that “loss”.
It’s a story filled with intrigue, rescues, evil people, drug trafficking, kidnapping, and what extreme measures one might do for love .
But it’s more than that. It’s a story about the friendship of 6 individuals who became friends in their youth , in the town of Redemption Harbor. Who have stayed extremely close even as adults and who would do anything for each other. That kind of loyalty is rare and precious.
The series is appropriately titled Redemption Harbor for I foresee the redemption of each of them and those they will help.
The narrator, Sophie Eastlake, is excellent and brings the story to life.
I voluntarily listened to this audiobook. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Two couples, two different ways to love

I love Katie Reus because her writing style just evokes a range of emotion because her characters are so multi-faceted. The combination of good writing with one of my favorite narrators, Sophie Eastlake, was clearly a winning duo. The narrator shined at the task of bringing these characters to life and I finished this audiobook in one day.

In this series beginner, we have two couples intertwined as the two male leads are former marines, CIA operatives and friends for years. Off the bat, there was action, adventure and love on the table. Two men grieving for the loss of the lady loves. Colt Stuart is silently mourning the death of his partner and love Skye Arevalo who died in a warehouse explosion in the line of duty. Meanwhile one of his best friend Mercer was not handling the loss of his wife Mary Grace well at all. Even though he didn’t share his suspicious, Colt suspected that Mary Grace was still alive somewhere and he decide to mount a rescue off the books (unsanctioned by the CIA) before he said anything to Mercer.

During the course of mission, Colt found that Mary Grace was indeed alive and had been rescued by a rogue agent, his “dead” lover Skye. This revelation led to examination of two couples that loved each other desperately but operated very differently. I must admit that I gravitated more towards Mercer and Mary Grace than the actual lead Colt and Skye. They were more emotionally connected and sappy where Skye and Colt were more physically aggressive and passionate. They weren’t as verbal and open about their feelings, but it is clear their devotion was a strong as Mercer and Mary Grace’s.

The underlying story was a familiar theme and the villain was an obvious one, but I enjoyed the unfolding of the story nonetheless. This story was intriguing, suspenseful and romantic. Katie Reus is just one of best in this genre. I know that second book is going to be even better.

Excellent action packed first in series

Would you consider the audio edition of Resurrection to be better than the print version?

Actually yes I read the kindle edition of this book and loved it but this brought all the action, and grit to life

What other book might you compare Resurrection to and why?

I think any suspense book with military / swat etc type would be similar but no two books are the same.

What about Sophie Eastlake’s performance did you like?

I love every book this narrator does.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Well some parts I wanted to scream and some parts I was laughing.

Any additional comments?

Excellent beginning to a new series. Loved it !
