Publisher's summary

Ex-Special Forces Communications Sergeant Jacopo “Jack” Constantino heads the cybersecurity at Four Kings Security, working with his tech-savvy team to provide clients with state-of-the-art security systems. But life for Jack is pretty uneventful — despite the exploits with his brothers-in-arms — and he finds himself longing for a little more excitement.

Be careful what you wish for.

Two years ago, Fitz Harlow captured Jack’s heart and walked away with it. Now he’s back.

Fitz spent the last two years picking up the pieces of his life after a disastrous relationship. After much therapy, and ice cream, Fitz leaves the fashion world behind and returns home to St. Augustine to open his own high-end salon, Hair Comes Trouble. Now, Fitz finally has the quiet, peaceful life he’s wanted for so long. There’s only one thing missing, or rather, one man missing, but Fitz has his doubts. With Jack, he’s not just gaining a boyfriend — he’s gaining a boyfriend, his family of mischief-magnet ex-Green Berets, and one highly opinionated Belgian Malinois.

Fitz and Jack discover their connection has only grown stronger over time, thanks in part to meddling friends, but just as they start to pick up where they left off, someone takes objection to their reunion. Danger hides in the shadows, one determined to keep Fitz out of Jack’s life, no matter the cost. With the odds stacked against them, can Jack and Fitz win a battle against an unknown enemy, or will Jack lose Fitz forever?

So excited for the next one!

Please note, you will be incredibly confused and probably frustrated with this audiobook if you have not started at the beginning! The beginning starts with four kings security Love In Spades! (Beware of Geeks Bearing Gift is a 2-hour story about Ace and Luckys' cousin Quin, but takes place in a different part of Florida and is not necessary to enjoy these books! You never actually meet their cousin, he is just referred to). That being said, I have waited for Jack and Joker's stories! I am so excited for jokers, and I wonder how She is going to incorporate Jay and Ryder, and Joshua and Frank! The story was sweet, sexy, packed with action and everything I could hope for from a Charlie Cochet novel! Greg Boudreaux as always did an absolutely incredible job! Thank you both for giving me a break from real life!

Missed the Kings

This book was so worth the wait! Fitz & Jack are so adorkable. Their chemistry is off the charts & how they tried to fight it was laughable. Like with the other Kings, this story has drama, action and most important Chip! Totally recommend this book. But you should read the 4 before so you have a better understanding of the characters. It was great listening to Greg bring my boys back to life.

Awesome Four Kings spin off

First I have to say, I can't wait for Joker's book as it going to be a wild ride with him & Gio! Finally after 2 years of Jack pining for Fitz, Fitz is back. I'm glad that Jack understood what was behind the radio silence and forgave Fitz with not much meanest. He wasn't a dick about it, he understood & they moved on. I loved watching these two get to really know each other. The date on the island was so romantic, I could so see it in my minds eye & almost felt the sea breeze. Okay so the bad guy is straight up crazy. I didn't have a clue who they were and the reasoning behind it never even crossed my mind. I was shocked when they were revealed in the end and the reasoning why all of this went down. There is a lot of action but it's soften with a lot of family time. I love when they all get together & just spend time with each other as families do. Fitz is subjected to some real dangers that could have gotten him killed and he comes face to face with what Jack was trained to do and that really scared him. At one point it looked like things were not going to work out for our lovers, but with the help of family, Fitz and Jack both accept what they are feeling and that they truly want a life together.

Definitely read!

Chaos and original characters make this a delightful listen. I love this narrator already, but he brought color and fun to this adventurous story.

Great Read

Loved this book!
Loved the narration!
The Kings are a true family and take care of each other no matter what. This book will keep you guessing right up to the end. I am pretty good at guessing what is going to happen or who the bad person is but this one kept me on my toes. I can't wait until the next book.
