Maddie Kincaid is accustomed to trouble, but she'd hoped to leave it behind when she settled in peaceful Brazos Bend. Who would have guessed that helping a gentle old man would land her in the middle of an attempted murder - her own?

Lucky for her, he's deadlier than the men chasing her. Unfortunately for him, protecting her means breaking a vow he holds dear. When the nights heat up and the secrets start to spill, Luke faces a brand new danger - losing the woman he loves. What's a mad, bad, and lethal Callahan man gonna do?

Great read

Luke by Emily March was a great read. It is the first book in the Callahan Brothers series. Luke is a DEA agent who is going on a fishing trip with his brother. Maddie is in trouble and finds herself on Luke's boat. I loved reading this book and can't wait to read more by Emily March.

Well narrated and well written

Love the narrator and the author. Lots of intrigue and romance. The sex scenes were about seduction and romance. Not just sex.

Luke Callahan's story

I enjoyed this book in audio almost as much as I enjoyed reading it the first time.

The story kept me guessing until the end - even though I had read it before. I did not remember the plot twist that revealed the villain(s).

I love Maddy's heart and wish for a real home. I love Luke's stubbornness and his protective nature. I even love his refusal to fall into Branch's plan. the characters remind me of people I know. Brazos Bend reminds me of my home town. I especially loved Knucklehead and Oscar.

The narration was very good. At the beginning I thought the inflection of his voice was a little off. Like everything was tragic or exciting, but it was just Maddy getting an ice cream cone. It smoothed out after the first couple of chapters.

All in all an excellent audiobook experience.

*I received a free Audible version of this book in exchange for a fair review.*

Entertaining blend of romance, mystery, & suspense

Fun book. Really liked the main characters and the story kept me guessing. The old man is a hoot--reminded me of my dad. Narration is excellent. Jeffery Kafer does a good job with the female voices. I'm definitely buying the next book.

I loved this audiobook! I've always enjoyed this Author's books but this was the first audiobook that I listened to that was narrated by a male. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about it at first but I was thoroughly hooked within the first few pages.
