By: Robin Patchen

Narrated by: Karen White

What happens when a woman marries her greatest enemy?

When investigative journalist Reagan McAdams discovers her new husband, Julien, is part of a powerful international crime family, she flees Paris with their newborn, returning to her childhood home in Nutfield, New Hampshire. She plans to gather her inheritance, collect her beloved grandmother, and disappear forever. She'll do whatever it takes to protect her son from his criminal father.

But when Reagan arrives home, her heart breaks at the news of her grandmother's death. Finding her missing inheritance - hidden somewhere on the property - is as impossible as a second chance with her former boyfriend, Brady. Reagan's feelings for Brady are stronger than ever, but when Julien's people harm innocents to smoke her out, Reagan must make a choice. What - and who - will she have to sacrifice to save her son?

Awful narration

The narrator makes the main character out to be whiny. I almost quit listening but the story itself was good. I will avoid listening to this narrator in the future.

Not what I expected

Suspense, love, and no political or moral ideas being shoved in your face by the author. Just a story.

Intrigue

This was really good. Lots of plot twists, romance and good guys vs bad guys. Rather long though.

Tammy

I enjoyed the story, it kept me interested throughout. The narrator always sounded whiny and that was difficult to listen to

Good story

The story was good but would have preferred if Reagan would not have been portrayed as weak and whiny. The narrator was ok.

Interesting

Interesting story. Effective narration. Characters were well defined. I will read more from this author.

Interesting

enjoy the story was surprised by the twist and the endings are always predictable. I prefer Christian fiction mysteries instead of romance that is predictable.

The narrator put me to sleep.

It was an okay book but put that along with a narrator that sounded like she was straining to get every word out and you have a book you just wish would be done. The author also repeats a lot!! The book could’ve been about an hour and a half shorter just by cutting out the repetitive information. Other than this bit, the book wasn’t bad, it was just very slow

Narration was too much

The narration was very DRAMATIC! Even the chapter numbers were read with passion! A little much but a good story

Pretty good

I don’t usually listen to this genre, but I did enjoy the story. It was mostly believable, and it was fun to listen to how everything came together. I’d recommend it.
I appreciate that there were no sex scenes. Audible should have a way to let listeners know before they buy a book whether there are explicit sex scenes. I hate getting caught in a good book with one of those.
