Don't Look Back

Evidence: Under Fire, Book 3

De: Rachel Grant

Narrado por: Nicol Zanzarella, Greg Tremblay

Sometimes history is better left buried...

Six months after barely escaping a nightmare, Kira Hanson is ready to take the trip of a lifetime—one she hopes will answer questions about her father's clandestine work recovering art stolen during World War II. But before she boards her flight, she's waylaid by a friend in need and finally comes face-to-face with the Navy SEAL who saved her six months ago and then ghosted her.

Lieutenant Commander Randall Fallon is thrilled to cross paths with the shy art historian, but within minutes of their reunion he learns she's in danger once again. Uneasy with the idea of her embarking on a trip to track down art thieves on her own, he just might have to reprise his role as undercover bodyguard and follow her to Europe posing as an art buyer.

Things heat up between Kira and Rand when he tracks her down in Malta, but it soon becomes clear that Rand's instincts were correct: Kira's digging into her father's secrets has unearthed an unexpected enemy.

Excellent Audiobook!

Rachel Grant is an excellent author. I feel it's a privilege to be able to be a part of her audio team now. I have enjoyed listening to a few of her audiobooks books in the past through the Audible Plus Catalog . This was the fist in this series that I've listened to so far. I definitely want to get the first two! I was glad to be on the road so I could listen without many interruptions as I was completely invested in the characters and the storyline. The twists had me on the edge of my seat. A suspenseful romance that is worth a relistening in the future.

Nicol Zanzarella and Greg Tremblay are both new to me narrators. Their performances were emotional and brought this audiobook to life. Perfection.

Loved It

Talk about twists and turns in a story. This has some really good ones! This story not only sucks you in from the beginning, but you feel like you are right there with everyone. Great writing, characters and action. The narrator did an amazing job keeping you engaged with the story. Well done everyone!

Kira and Rand's story is lush with drama, danger,

This is the first book I have listened to / read in this series. Though part of a series it does a good job as a standalone read, I would have liked to enjoy the books in chronological order for maximum nuance and enjoyment.
Kira and Rand's story is lush with drama, danger, duplicity, secrets and more. Kira wants answers, her quest to obtain them leads her into perilous situations. Rand realizes that intelligence and determination may not be enough as Kira travels halfway around the world. It soon becomes clear that Kira and Rand make significant discoveries that involve not just people they care about, but the country they call home. Amidst all the intensity Kira and Rand find that together they are a perfect pairing. The narration kept me engaged in this entertaining story.

Edge of the seat thriller.

Gripping and romantic story! I read it in two days! I read all of Rachel’s books.

Smart & Sexy Series for the Summer

Bottom Line Up Front (to use some military jargon): This is a great book and excellent continuation of the Evidence: Under Fire series. Two thumbs up for the narrators and the story!
I re-listened to the Evidence, Flashpoint, and Evidence: Under Fire stories in anticipation of this book coming out. You must listen to the two previous Under Fire books before listening to this book or you won't get a lot of the context of the story (the Before the Storm prequel is also great). I dislike getting into a series out of order, so I would recommend the other books first, particularly the Flashpoint books, as that is where Fallon and the characters that make up the Valkyries are first introduced (Fallon is only briefly mentioned in those books). Evidence characters also make cameos in the Under Fire books.
Onto the story--Fallon is my favorite hero of this series and I really enjoyed how Kira's character developed throughout the story. I'm not going to give away any spoilers and list any plot points, though I will say I wasn't completely surprised by how the plot played out. One point of note, the two main characters aren't the only POVs we get in this story--as events are playing out, we also get the POV of secondary characters (one of the main reasons you have to read the other Under Fire books first).
I love both the narrators, and they did a fantastic job reading the characters. I really enjoy the dual narration and am glad to see that becoming more popular.
If you are looking for a new series and want something smart, well-researched, fun and sexy, then this is the series you are looking for!

another winner from ms grant!

her writing continues to be so clear, interesting and romantic with just the write amount of suspense. I love the relationship development in this book and the great locations to investigate the mystery. definitely worth the credit!

Danger, romance, intrigue, and education

I received this book free from the author in exchange for posting a review. I am not receiving any payment for this review.

Rachel Grant has done it again. I cannot say enough good things about her writing style. This book is good as a stand alone, but great if you read the others in this series and even more excellent if you read the Flashpoint series as well as the Evidence series. I always love hearing little snippets about characters from the other books. I was so happy when Rand made an appearance in the last book, I took a liking to him in the Flashpoint series. When I heard that Rand and Kira were getting their own story I was ecstatic. It was totally worth the wait. It was also a fun listening experience because my maiden name is Stultz (I haven’t seen this book in print so I don’t know if the spelling is the same) but it’s pronounced the same. I’m always happy with Rachel’s books because not only do you get an amazing story, you also learn something. I love knowledge that she has and shares with us.

One final thing, Nicol & Greg, as always, do such a good job in bringing the characters to life.

Mostly enjoyed

I am one of those people that is really impacted by the narrators voice. The wrong narrator can ruin the most epic book in the world for me. This series has all the ingredients for a hit, but doesn't quite make it for me. The overly sappy/melodramatic tone of the narrator takes away from the suspense and makes me feel I'm in a low grade romance novel rather than a high stakes military storyline.

Great book!

This is a well written book with a great story and believable characters. Follow Grant on Facebook & see all the pictures described in the book. Don't miss this one!

Mystery, Romance and Action

Romantic Suspense at it’s best. From the start of this audio, I was entranced in the story. I knew I had to pay attention or I was going to miss some clues! Randall and Kira finally are able to admit how they feel about each other and pursue the happiness they both deserve. However, the timing of these revelations might have been delayed due to circumstances beyond their control. Get ready for twists, suspense and a great overall audiobook!
