Under Fire

Love over Duty Series, Book 1

De: Scarlett Cole

Narrado por: Amelie Griffin, Alexandre Steele

RITA nominee Scarlett Cole's Under Fire pairs a hot Navy SEAL with a medical researcher who finds herself in too deep.

Hot, hard-bodied Sixton Rapp is a former SEAL who's raring to begin his brand-new civilian life. He and his Navy "brothers" start a security firm that offers the kind of services only a team of military-trained professionals can provide. But nothing prepared Six for his new client: an innocent woman on a mission to improve thousands of lives...unless someone takes hers first.

Dr. Louisa North knows time is against her as she tries to create a "miracle" medical treatment for a disease with no known cure, until she creates a sample so powerful that the wrong people want to use it as a chemical weapon. At first, Six is unwilling to accept Louisa as his client. But soon he realizes that the danger is real and that there's much more to this plain-Jane scientist...including a burning passion between them that neither of them can resist.

And now that an enemy is on Louisa's trail, Six will do whatever it takes to protect her - or die trying.

Action Packed

Great story. Six and Louisa are an unlikely match but just seem to work in this thrilling, action packed story. Alexandre Steele and Amelie Griffin give good performances.

Terrible narration.

The voices for the characters that each narrator did were so distracting that I couldn’t get past the first hour of the book, despite being very intrigued by the actual story.

The ex-SEAL and his nerdy girl

Dr. Louisa North is certain that her research has been stolen but the owner of the lab doesn’t appear to be concerned. She meets ex-SEAL, Sixton , now security specialist, at a banquet, then again when he was running and he had a flashback. They form a friendship, even though they’re a most unlikely pair. When Lou is attacked at home, she accepts that she needs Six’s help. Can Six and his team figure out who’s after Lou before it’s too late? Great romantic suspense with just the right balance of suspense and steam.

Story had Potential…

But the characters never came to life; Flat one dimensional throughout.
And the narration wasn’t good. If someone of the caliber of Andi Arndt and Teddy Hamilton narrated it would have elevated this listen substantially. These narrators brought it down a full star, maybe two.

Poor performance.

I couldn’t even finish this. The narrators were awful! So slow and draggy and her speech patterns were broken. I thought the story was also slow.
