Enjoyed it very much, especially the second half when it was very action packed. While it is an interconnected standalone, really should read/listen to book 1 first for the best experience. 

Alex is a badass! She’s a former Marine sniper and can hold her ground with her male colleagues. And she’s not the kind of woman to sit around and wait for anyone. She jumps into action. I also loved how she interacted with Raike’s kids, building genuine trust and friendship with them. 

Raike is newly divorced and trying to rebuild relationships with his kids. And he’s kickass in his own right as a former SEAL. While he can get a little overprotective, he also recognizes it and respects Alex’s competence and ability. 

Lots of action in this one. Kept the story moving along. More plot based than just relationship driven. 

The narration was fantastic! Loved them all. They really elevated this story! 

Thanks BlueNose Audio for the ALC.
