Don't Leave Me

The McCabe Brothers, Book 5

By: Lorhainne Eckhart

Narrated by: Jason Markiewitz

One moment in time could change her future forever.

From a New York Times and USA Today best-selling author comes a riveting and edgy romance about a young love driven to the breaking point.

Even though Claudia is part of the McCabe family, with four older brothers she barely knows, she has a dark side no one in their right mind would mess with, and she still sees herself as alone. That is until one night, when she witnesses an unspeakable crime that blurs the lines of morality. Her first instinct is to run, but when a mysterious handsome man enters her life, promising to keep her safe, she’s caught up in a web of secrets, not knowing who to trust. When her brothers unite, will they expose the truth or destroy any hope Claudia has of finding love?

The McCabe Brothers, a spinoff of the big family romance series The Friessens from a Readers’ Favorite award-winning author and “queen of the family saga” (Aherman)

Convictions

Claudia McCabe world turns upside in a matter of minutes. She is a witness to a crime she will never forget. A police officer, Tony Martin takes an interest in her case. Her family is there for support and guidance. The plot twists are not what I expected. The ending does end in a HEA at least.

I don’t buy this romance

Mmm I’m not sold on this romance.
I did quite like this story the dirty cop aspect I believe is quite accurate. It’s obviously set well in the future after the last book (Lucs story) as he’s now married.

All in all it’s a take it or leave it for me
Gifted audio in exchange for an honest review

Social Message

I received a ARC of the book in return for an honest review.
the story starts right away with claudia in wrong place which involves gunfire, corrupt cops and homeless people. With help of the hero she tries to solve and help the homeless .
the narrator did good job.

A thought provoking story

In this latest audiobook of the McCabe brothers, the story centers around their young sister, Claudia McCabe. A sister that just recently was introduced to her father and brothers.
She was still feeling a bit isolated from them until the night that changed her entire life . She finds herself in the wrong place when she’s not only in the middle of gunfire, but then is taken by the police and put into an interrogation room. The only bright side is having her brothers come to her rescue and meeting detective Martin who believed the story that the person that is accused of the deaths and owning a firearm was not the homeless woman, but the cop that planted the gun in the woman’s belongings. A belief that could cost Tony everything: his job and the girl he just met.
This is a case of bad cops, of how some politicians prefer to point fingers at the homeless in order to send them away, and how little is offered to these individuals. When in fact, society and government should be doing more to assist them in finding a better life, a home and support. Dire circumstances frequently force these individuals go from having a regular life to being in the streets.
Once again, the author provides a topic that is thought provoking and very current.
Kudos to the author for that reminder.

Excellent Story and Narration

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. Lorhainne tells a story of corruption leading to the highest levels of government being justified by the hope of fixing the problems of society and making it a better place for the average citizen. Jason Markiewitz narrated the story wonderfully. I felt immersed in the story and I could feel the tension of the situations experienced by the main characters through his narration. 5 stars!

good story, with a. realistic ending.

So I enjoyed this book in the series. the narrator was good the author does a good job with the characters in this story, including the ending however from someone who loves the endings where everything works out, I was disappointed on how it all turned out for the side characters. i know this is probably what really happens in life but sometimes I read the books to get out of real life. I still recommend this book :)

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall
