Publisher's summary

Another Navy SEAL Romance that you won't be able to put down.

Loving Carrie Bellmont almost killed me.

Until I discovered the Cartel was after her, and she was a DEA agent. Seven years later, I was out of the Navy Seals and went looking for Carrie. She wanted nothing to do with me, but that didn’t stop me. She was mine, and she would always be mine.

Loving Gabe Steller was damn painful.
Falling in love was easy. His believing I cheated on him and not even listening to me tore my heart from my chest. He walked away and didn’t give me a second thought. Why does he think he can march into my life? Well, I won't let him!

Disappointed

I don't know if it was the horrendous reading by virtual voice, mediocre writing or a combination of both that made this series and specifically this book jar my nerves like nails on a blackboard.

I am not a fan of virtual voice narrated books due to how difficult it is to determine which character is speaking often, especially when there are multiple characters in a scene and it is not written to specify that character A said XYZ and character B responded while character C interrupted. The lack of voice inflection to note various characters and their emotions is irksome. The second detrimental flaw of virtual voice is when it comes to words spelled the same but have multiple pronunciations with various means and it chooses the wrong pronunciation. Did the leader lead his team of did he have a lead foot? Then you have the conundrum of whether the author misspelled a word that is an actual whole other word or did the system mispronounce it? He nozzled her neck instead of nuzzled her neck.

Carrie is a former DEA agent but virtual voice kept reading it as she was a DA, as in a District Attorney. If that wasn't bad enough, it was glaringly obvious when words were missing from sentences making you have to pause to figure out exactly what was meant otherwise you were 3 sentences later before things made sense.

At times, I would get lost in what was occurring because the sequence of events just did not make sense. At the end it felt like the author had had too many storylines left to tie up but found she ran out of time/words to do them all justice for whatever reason- deadline to meet or page limit to keep within.

You get what you pay for rings true for this series. I'm thankful I got to listen to it for free as part of an Audible trial period because I would not have paid to listen past the first book. I had such high hopes for the series at the beginning.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
