The Last Exchange

A Novel

De: Charles Martin

Narrado por: Joshua Manning, MacLeod Andrews

"The Last Exchange is somehow equal parts page-turner, heart-breaker, and hope-dealer. Another brilliantly written novel by Charles Martin." --Annie F. Downs

Gripping suspense meets heartfelt emotion in this standalone novel from New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin. Everyone in her life has only taken from her. So she's not quite sure how to handle it when her new body guard will go to any lengths to protect her and shield her--even from herself. Is this what love actually looks like? For fans of Before We Were Strangers by Renée Carlino and One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

When MacThomas Pockets finished his last tour as part of the Scottish Special Forces, he was hired to consult for a film director to finesse some scenes that weren't working. In a twist he never saw coming, he ended up moving to L.A. to work as the bodyguard for movie star Maybe Joe Sue.

It didn't take long for Pockets to realize there were two Joe Sues: The Joe Sue the public saw with her perfect life and her Hollywood husband. And the private Joe Sue: the one with the traumatic youth that no amount of pills could cover up, who desperately wanted a child of her own.

Even after their paths diverged, he continued to track Joe Sue's life. Only a few would notice when the bottom fell out. But he did. And that's when he stepped in.

In The Last Exchange, you'll find a compelling love story alongside a thought-provoking and soul-searching dilemma as one man seeks to answer the question: How far would you go--really--to save someone you love? What if you'd get nothing in return? In the masterful hands of New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin, finding the answer will take listeners on an intense and heart-wrenching journey to the very end.

Wow - What a great audiobook!!!

Wow! I highly recommend this 5 star story! Well developed characters and an adventure with twists and turns. Charles Martin is an excellent storyteller.

On the surface this is a love story between two people that were not supposed to fall in love with each other. But this book is so much more - mystery, thriller, adventure, drama, crimes, courtroom drama and the rich and famous, But the love described in the story is a very special kind. What would you be willing to do for someone you love?? This book is also about faith, love, sacrifice, and freedom.

The Last Exchange is a story about a woman, Maybe Joe Sue, that is a famous actress, has a huge heart and really wants to have a baby. Then there is her body guard, Pockets, a stoic man charged to protect her. He is also her confidant, safe keeper and moral compass. He even protected Joe from herself. Because isn't that what we all need?

I listened to the audiobook and it was outstanding. The book was narrated by Joshua Manning, Charles Martin and MacLeod Andrews. They did an outstanding job and made the characters come to life.

This is my first book by Charles Martin, but will not be my last. I have added all of his books to my TBR list.

Phenomenal Read

Mr Martin is such a good writer & storyteller - he never disappoints. This book surpassed my expectations. But I want another book to let me know “WHAT HAPPENS???!!!”

Great book!

Another excellent read by Charles Martin! What woman doesn’t want to be rescued by a valiant man? Great love story.

A book that holds your attention

The characters are well developed and intriguing to the point that you feel a part of their personal stories and want to know more.

The Last Exchange

Incredible. I’ve enjoyed a previous book by our author and enjoyed this on just as much.

Charles Martin NEVER disappoints! A page turner from the first paragraph

Charles Martin does not disappoint. The Last Exchange is a page turner beginning with the first paragraph!

Slow start but grabs attention as it moves forward

I nearly returned the book early when it appeared to be about drug addled celebrities. I’m glad I stayed with it because it includes kidnapping and other crimes. Still, it’s also a story of self-sacrifice and love.

The goodness of main characters

Charles Martin’s books are rich & always a good read or listen. The only thing I didn’t care for in the audio version of this particular story was the flat mechanical voice in lengthy conversations. If I were reading as opposed to listening to it, this wouldn’t be a problem!

Excellent!

Highly recommend! The story pulls you in immediately…the narration is superb…I found it difficult to stop listening:)

Awesome narration strong narrative

I wish I could give the narrator more stars.
The story is well-crafted, powerful, and redemptive.
