Publisher's summary

When a challenge comes along that should be resisted, is it best to fight the urge or just say screw it?

Shane Fletcher loves his job as a state trooper. Even more so when he gets to work undercover. When the DEA creates a task force to stop the trafficking of meth into Pennsylvania by the Deadly Demons, an outlaw MC, Fletch jumps on the chance to be involved.

The Tri-State Federal Drug Task Force is not only made up of some of his own Blue Avengers MC brotherhood, but with law enforcement from other agencies.

Including Nova Wilder, a special agent with the FBI. A kick-ass, no-nonsense woman whose specialty is fighting organized crime.

When Fletch and Nova go undercover with the Dirty Angels MC, they’re forced to work as partners, share an apartment and pretend they’re a couple.

Only, living in close proximity and acting like a biker and his ol’ lady ends up being the easy part. What proves to be the most difficult is trying to resist each other for the sake of not screwing up the assignment.

As it turns out, the Demons aren’t the only problem they have to deal with. Unbeknownst to them, a much more powerful threat is lurking and ready to strike.

Note: Beyond the Badge: Fletch is the first book in the Blue Avengers MC series. It’s highly recommended to listen to this six-book action/adventure series in order due to the continuing story arcs (subplots). However, each book focuses on a different couple who gets their HEA. This series has no cheating or relationship cliffhangers.

Ms. St.James has done it again

I got hooked into the MC world reading the Down & Dirty series
It was such a pleasure to see the paths cross of BAMC & DAMC and get caught up on the lives of DAMC
Fletch is hot and hunky as expected but it’s the story that captures me and this author just gets it when developing her characters
Can’t wait to read the next installment of this series !!

What a start to the series!

What a start to this series! First off, Jeanne St James knows how to grab my attention, and from the first chapter, I was in. Shane Fletcher is quite the man! Loving his job as a trooper, he jumped at the chance to go undercover to bust the Deadly Demons MC to break up a drug ring. Now convincing the DAMC to help them out? That is a whole other story! To make it even more believable, he takes an "old lady" with him. Nova an experienced undercover FBI agent is ready to help. Now the close quarters and the explosive chemistry leads them to a convincing performance. But will they be able to find heart of the drug ring while exploring their feelings? Will their feelings get in the way? And what happens when Nova's past comes to haunt her? I love Fletch. Talk about charisma, it just oozes out of the man. I love his affection and his protectiveness! And while I love him, I thought Nova shines through the entire book. Brave, willing to do what it takes and completely committed, she is a testament to women and our ability to excel in any profession. Plus we get glimpses of the DAMC! Those babies are now teens and how fun is it to see Diesel? Loved this book, and I can't wait to see what the Blue Avengers have in store next.

To make this even better, Jeanne St James picks narrators that fit her characters perfectly. The rasp of Stephen Borne comes in as the best overly protective, brave alpha male! I loved him as Fletch! Ava Lucas, I can never say enough good things about her voices. She just gets into the head of Nova and makes her the strong, independent woman she is. I love this team and thoroughly enjoyed the listen.

Loved the story but not the male audio voice

Please don't use this male reader again. His voice.isn't romance material II love the hook but not the male performer the female would have been better alone. I won't listen to another romance preformed by him. His voice for Nova really made me cringe But overall not good for romance. female done better and done other voices better.

Loved it!

I absolutely 100% love this ! The author Jeanne St James is brilliant I loved the idea of a motorcycle club of law enforcement officers and other First Responder's. This story is about Shane Fletcher "Fletch' a State Trooper and Nova Wilder an FBI agent who are part of task force and they have to go undercover in the Dirty Angels MC to stop another Motorcycle Club from selling meth. They go Undercover as a biker and his old lady, they have to live together and hang out and work with the Dirty Angels MC. Being law enforcement undercover in a Motorcycle Club is intense enough then they have to live together and things get hot and intense. I love this first installment I can't wait for the next in the series. This story was well written I love the plot, the characters were fun and interesting. This book was very well performed by the narrators Ava Lucas and Stephen Borne I highly recommend it

Anxious for the rest of the series!

Interesting plot, strong heroine and sexy cop all rolled up in an mc romance novel! I’ve loved all Jeanne St James’ series and this one holds true to her style. I love that this series is written in the same world as In The Shadows Security, DAMC and BFMC.

good read

when listening to this book it was good. However, the narration became one tone
no emotions. vv
