Romantic suspense

I received this copy from the author. Interpol cop meets a man that turns out to be the suspect in the case her task force is investigating. Emma Calin weaves a wonderfully suspenseful story that keeps you listening. I will definitely be looking for more books by this author.

HOT Romantic Suspense

This was a fast paced romantic suspense that I truly loved!! Narrator did a great job with the characters! I received a free copy of this book from the publisher and/or author and/or narrator in exchange for an honest review.

Enjoyable read

My fifth read/listen from author Emma Calin, my first that was not a short story. 228 pages, but it reads longer because of the detail woven into its depths. An enjoyable read, I'll be reading more by her after this book! Narrator Rebecca McKernan’s talented narration & Brutish accent adds greatly to the book’s enjoyment. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Great Story!

Emma Cain is a new author to me and I loved her writing style. She kept the twists coming in this romantic suspense book. I loved the setting of this book with its vivid imagery and the suspense. I thought the narrator, Rebecca McKernan did a fine job with the pace of the suspense and hot moments. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review.

Combat Review...

Decent storyline and narration. Didn’t quite get the Mafia characters (a little soft and too brief). And the mother connection could have been woven in a bit more early on. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

An exciting romance thriller

Two people meet on a rainy London night, one a professional champion fighter, the other a Scotland Yard/Interpol Inspector. Both have secrets they are keeping from the other. A novel grabbing the reader and not letting go until the very end. Continuous action and unexpected directions taken keep attention on the story. Love this author! The audio version is well done adding to the interest. I received this free and am gladly voluntarily writing a review.

Great story!

Anna was a great character as a cop being in the position of investigating Freddie who she was involved with. Plenty of steam and some action with a great storyline as Freddie was a fighter and she was looking into the mob involvement in the fights. Freddie was also likeable and a great character. Some secondary characters were also well developed and likeable. Great story all around. As for the narrator, Rebecca McKeman, she was wonderful. Great accent and helped to bring this story to life. Also she read this story at a great pace and made it very enjoyable to listen to.

Anna & Freddie

This book was about a police Inspector assigned to a Metropolitan Police Task Force which is working with Interpol to bring down Mobsters and Crooked Sports Personalities prior to the London Olympics of 2012. Anna has left a cushy life where she could work for her family business, Layton Marine selling Luxury Yachts. She has worked her way up to the rank of Inspector which has not all been smooth sailing. Her ex-lover, who dropped her like a hot potato when she was the subject of an inquiry is leading this Task Force but heaven only knows why because he comes across as a toady fool!

Freddie is a boxer, he is also World Champion with a fight looming in the States. They literally bump into each other one evening when they both hail the same taxi which they end up sharing. She has no idea who he is and wants to chat with this attractive man without him knowing she's a police officer as this puts a lot of people off.

The attraction between these two is instant and hot and soon leads to more but as Freddie is part of her investigation how far can this attraction go? Well without giving spoilers I really can't say but it was an enjoyable read/ listen.

I purchased the book and then downloaded the audio version and my review is written voluntarily.

Worth the Ride

The narrator did not do it for me but the story was worth the listen. Organized crime, police drama, family drama, love based on deceit, betrayal on many levels all fill this story with several complications. The story spans the globe and the many interstices involved in human interactions. There was a lot of descriptions of her dressing and undressing. Freddie is cool to me though. This is a twisted tale. I got this story via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review.

One switched on Cop, meets her match!

A chance meeting, each concealing a different motive for a few minutes grabbed together. But, it wasn't enough. for either of them.
Each could loose a lot, but the attraction was far too strong.
WOW!! What a story, made so much more through the grating Londoner accent of the narrator.
I have read the book, but the audio made each scene come alive.
