Rank

Lighthouse Security Investigations, Book 2

De: Maryann Jordan

Narrado por: Adam Gold

The Lighthouse SI Keepers are men and women from the SEALs, Rangers, Special Forces, Deltas, and AF Special Ops. All having been trained in CIA Special Ops, the Keepers are the best of the best and ready to take on any mission.

Former SEAL and CIA op John “Rank” Rankin did not mind playing hard, but when it came to missions, he prided himself on always delivering. When the Feds ask for assistance in investigating the possible link between a US senator and a member of the Russian mafia, Rank volunteers for the job. Perfect planning goes awry when a woman stumbles into the middle of his meeting with a witness.

Helena Jernigan, a charity coordinator, had no idea what she was getting into when she tried to slip out of the back of the restaurant to escape the unwanted attention of a dinner companion. Now, thrust into the middle of an investigation, her offers to help are met with resistance.

Even as Rank needs Helena’s information, he realizes she may be in danger, but keeping her safe is no longer just part of the mission. Hearts become involved, and the one-time player gives it all for the woman he loves.

Warning: You'll find scenes and language similar to what you will find in an R-rated movie. Suitable for listeners who are 18 and above only.

Another Enjoyable Listen!

This second book in the Lighthouse Security Investigations series was another enjoyable listen. There wasn’t quite the suspense as the first one as we knew who the bad guys were, however finding them was exciting. Helena literally fell onto Rank while escaping unwanted attentions in a restaurant. Unfortunately she interrupted a meeting that ended up putting her in the middle of an investigation and in danger. This story was entertaining and I enjoyed the romance between Helena and Rank. Adam Gold once again did a great job with all the voices and emotions in the story. Hopefully it won’t be too long before the next book is available on Audible.

Rank

Loved it and the story line. The characters were strong and well rounded. It flowed like a gangster crime movie that I would watch on TV.

Could not finish

I could not tolerate the short staccato sentences especially when too much of the story was just descriptive sex. I also did not like either of the leading characters. Not my style.

This narrators short clipped sentences kills me

I want to like the narrator. His character voices are well done so I know the short clipped sentences and the anger it causes while listening to the story isn’t all on him. There must be a director or editor that felt this was the way to go. It wasn’t. It’s terrible. However, I just laugh now bc I like the easy nature of the books. But man, it’s so distracting.
That being said, I like the story line and the characters so I’ll keep listening.
