The Walls of Troy

By: L.A. Witt

Narrated by: Nick J. Russo

MA1 Iskander Ayhan's orders are simple: stay with Admiral Dalton's son as his plainclothes bodyguard while he attends university classes. So typical - a high-ranking officer abusing Navy resources for unnecessary security as a status symbol. But it doesn't take long before Iskander realizes he's not really there to protect the kid from benign harassment by homophobic classmates.

Behind the piercings, eyeliner, and bad attitude, Troy Dalton is hiding something. He's scared, and although he's not so sure the armed bodyguard by his side is enough to keep him safe, he can't risk revealing the truth.

Slowly, Iskander gains Troy's trust, and the walls start coming down, but before they know it, the two men are way too close to each other...and suddenly Iskander is attracting more danger to the man he's sworn to protect.

Now he doesn't know how to keep Troy safe from harm - by staying close to him, or getting as far away from him as possible.

Another great listen

Nick has such great characterization, pace and tempo. story line kept you engaged. thenk you.

Great story!

I love LA Witt and Nick J Russo, excellent pairing! I've already listened to this story twice. Sexy with a bit of drama. Highly recommend!

Okay, not great

The author did well on the military service/terminology/description. That said, I was disappointed by the lack of discipline Iskander displayed at the onset of the relationship, and subsequent acceptance of Troy’s plan to withhold information about his stalker. An MA1 with his years of service and experience should have a lot more integrity.

The narrator was a bit disappointing too. Normally I have no issue with his voicing, but this time the 2 MCs sounded too similar.

An exciting and enjoyable listen

This was a FANTASTIC listen with Nick J Russo narrating. Some of the critical reviews mentioned too much repetitious internal dialogue, which I was definitely starting to notice towards the end (yes, yes, I get it, you shouldn't be doing this but you're going to anyway) - but it wasn't enough to take away a star for me, because I enjoyed the hell out of this.

There was a bit of a slow burn between defensive, pierced, eyeliner-wearing Troy and rule-following, can't-lie-to-save-his-life, protective Iskander, but once those sparks ignited it was HOT HOT HOT! The narration added a lot to the story for me, and I highly recommend it on audio.

Really liked it

Loved the narration, Nick did an amazing job with all the charachters and made me live into the story.
Liked the MCs and how there relationship went from distrust to love and that it actually took a couple of weeks/months for it to bloom into something more. The sex was really hot and it didnt feel like it was puched into the story just for the sake of adding sex.
Only thing I was disapointing of was that the stalker did maybe 2 warning attempts that was pritty much ignored after a while and then BAM! Other than that I really liked it and warmly recommend it.
