Risking It All

Crossing the Line, Book 1

De: Tessa Bailey

Narrado por: Jill Redfield

She's gone rogue.

Seraphina Newsom isn't looking for vengeance...she wants justice. Three years ago, Sera's brother was ruthlessly gunned down by one of Brooklyn's most dangerous mob kingpins. The investigation has stalled out, deemed "too dangerous" by the police commissioner. So to track down the evidence she needs to take down her brother's killer, Sera turns in her hospital scrubs, joins the NYPD, and goes undercover. Unsanctioned. Alone.

He'll live to keep her safe.

With his father behind bars, Bowen Driscol has reluctantly taken over his family's sprawling South Brooklyn crime operation. New York's finest have other plans. By threatening the safety of his sister, they "convince" Bowen to extricate a rogue cop who's in over her head. But when he meets Sera and feels that deep, damning shiver of desire course through him, Bowen knows there's only one way to keep her safe without blowing either of their covers...by claiming her as his own.

great raw emotion

I got so engrossed I'm this story I didn't stop until it ended. I sat for hours to finish it.

Risking it All

You just can't go wrong with a book written by Tessa Bailey! This had all the dirty talking and passion you know Tessa delivers. And the audio could make you blush if you're in mixed company while listening.

Great storyline, realistic characters & narration!

No need to relisten, actually... but it was an enjoyable book!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Risking It All?

the surprise ending.

What about Jill Redfield’s performance did you like?

Jill pulled off a male Brooklyn tough guy character with ease... she's so awesome. She has the enviable ability to bring a good book to life, and making it an even better book overall!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes... I did want to! Now, to find the author's other books.....

Bold story with steamy scenes

Great story line of a trapped gang leader getting redemption while enjoying relationship with new girl. Both have secrets and hope for a trusting and better outlook ending.

loved

I actually got a little teary eyed with this story! Plus, I'm a sucker for a Dom with an accent!

Exceptional Listen!

The negative reviews delayed my starting this one, but I’m so glad I decided to randomly play it on a whim. I regret waiting so long. Outstanding performance by the narrator, fast-paced story, sexy characters and drama... this one has it all. Don’t be put off by a few bad reviews. This is one of the better novels of this genre. I hardly pressed pause on this late night listen. It’s that good.

An original story with great solo narration.

I haven’t read any books by Tessa before and what an intro to her writing. I loved this gritty “undercover cop falls in love with the criminal” romance. And Jill absolutely smashed the narration. I don’t usually enjoy solo narration or third-person POVs, but this book was fabulous!

Get ready to get invested in a cr!minal no less. I fell for Bowen fast, a it like Seraphina. He’s kind of irresistible with his painting and sad backstory.

The book is action-packed and fast-paced. But we still get plenty of character development. I love how we see the layers of Bowen unfolding. And Seraphina’s morals are tested when she falls for him hard and fast.

This book was just what I needed. I can’t recommend it enough, and I’ll definitely be doing more from this series. Jill took this story to the next level with her expert narration. Ten out of ten would definitely recommend!

excellent story and performance!

loved it! narrator was fantastic, storyline was fast paced and the best part, all of it was believable! love it when an author tells a tale that hits hard and is a interesting story get it, you won't be disappointed

LOVED IT!

This is the first book I’ve listened to from Tessa Bailey and I loved it! It made me laugh, cry, and HOT!All while I was on the edge of my seat. I love Jill Redfields narration. She does a great job bringing the characters to life and she draws you in to a whole different world. I’m hoping book 2 is just as good if not better.

Awesome Narrator

I love everything Tessa Bailey this , story was no different.
Jill Redfield is so amazing! I sometimes struggle listening to a woman read from man's POV, but I have no such issue with Jill Redfield. I recomend listening to her 100%!
