Single Malt

Agents Irish and Whiskey, Book 1

De: Layla Reyne

Narrado por: Christian Leatherman

Jump into Layla Reyne’s fan-favorite Whiskey Verse saga with Single Malt, the first book in Aidan and Jamie’s swoony M/M romantic suspense trilogy.

FBI agent Aidan “Irish” Talley had it all until a harrowing car crash left him with a heap of survivor’s guilt and a hole in his heart where his happily ever after used to be. Aiming to fill the void, he returns to work—and to a new partner. Charming, smart, and athletic, Jamie is the last thing Aidan’s bruised heart needs.

Cyber agent Jameson “Whiskey” Walker joined the Bureau three years ago and has pined for Aidan ever since. Working with the Irish expat is a fantasy and a challenge, one Jamie intends to win by earning the surly older agent’s trust and respect.

Except there’s no time for team building when a hack on a high-security biocontainment facility spirals into a larger terrorist threat. With targets on their backs, Aidan and Jamie are forced to trust each other as they’re pushed to the explosive edge. Even then, it may not be enough to save the thousands of lives at stake, including their own.

Competent heroes, action-packed thrills, and high-stakes romance blend together in this adrenaline-fueled first book of three, now in its second edition with a new cover and formatting and extended content.

this is going to be great!

Layla excels at agent/mystery/suspense/action stories and Irish and Whiskey are compiling characters who face no shortage of high octane drama.

We meet Irish as he’s returning to work after an incident that put him the hospital and killed both his partner and his husband. And now he’s paired with a gorgeous, charming younger agent.

Needless to say it’s not all roses and sunshine, despite the draw between them. They are fire, in both the good and bad meaning of the word. You’ll swoon over Jamie, and want to care for Aiden. But ultimately you’ll want to read the next book, immediately.

The case will keep you engaged, and you’ll be completely invested in their relationship.

The audiobook is narrated by Christian Leatherman. It was a first by him for me. He’s very talented, great with the accents and the pacing. He made for highly enjoyable audio experience.

I loved the story the right amount of action and romance between the characters. I even liked the cliff hanger ending.
