Mitch

An Eidolon Black Ops Novel

By: Maddie Wade

Narrated by: Carl Mason

A woman on the run from her past. A man who will do anything to protect her. Their lives are on a collision course with fate and they may not survive.

He thought his life was perfect until he met a woman who showed him what he was missing.

Mitch Quinn is the cool-headed one of Eidolon. His time on the Force as an elite sniper taught him patience can be your biggest weapon. His early life as part of London’s gangs taught him a lethal lesson, forcing him to turn his back on his friends and fight for his future. It’s a decision he’s never regretted, and he has everything he’s ever wanted. When Mitch’s past collides with the present and the life he’s built, he realizes he could lose everything he’s ever wanted—including the woman who’s shown him what he’s missing.

She’s a woman on the run from her past, who unexpectedly finds her future.

Autumn Roberts is running for her life. As the sole witness to her husband’s brutal murder, she stood up and did the right thing by testifying against the man who took the father of her unborn child from her. But now he’s free and looking for revenge, and she’s on the run with a baby to protect. Finding sanctuary in the small town of Hereford, Autumn meets Mitch, her sexy landlord with the knowing grin and energy that instantly makes her feel safe.

Fate brought them together, but will secrets tear them apart?

As Autumn and Mitch grow closer, she realizes she must either tell him the truth about who she is or run again and lose the man she’s fallen in love with. Just when she’s about to come clean, her luck runs out and her past catches up with her. With no choice, she must face her nightmare head-on and hope Mitch loves her enough to stand by her as she fights for her life and the man she loves.

Contemporary

I enjoyed Mitch and Auntumn's story. This story had great characters, flow and a HEA. Carl Mason as the narrator was perfect for this book.

Finally got Mitch Story

I loved this whole series. I know they got released out of order but it was def easy to follow them all. I love this series because I love those military type romances with an HEA. Mitch in this book was such a huge protector in this book but wore his heart on his sleeve. My jaw dropped when the girl he was following for brought up a blast from his past. Mitch was determined to do anything to rescue his girl. Even kill for her. It took Autumn to talk him off the ledge and do the right thing. Carl did a good job narrating this story and Maddie sure does know how to write a story that keeps you wanting more even after the end.

Good Easy Listen!

I really enjoyed this audio. The narrator did a great job! It was fairly quick audio and I listened to it at 1.5 speed for most of it. Autumn found Mitch just when she needed him most. Their love story is one that was written in the stars. Autumn showed up looking for a room to rent but she had no idea what she was going to find. This single mother deserves her second chance at love and all the protection/family that comes with Eidolon.

Mitch and Autumn's story has written in the stars

Mitch and Autumn's story has written in the stars all over it, as two pasts collide in an unforeseen way in their present. Autumn had luck on her side as she's placed in Mitch's path, which means also gaining not only his protection and support but that of all of Eidolon as danger stalks her and her baby. As fate would have it, an unexpected love also springs amongst the bad, giving these two an HEA after all the action and suspense is over. Carl Mason's narration brings the story to life.

Mitch & Autumn!

Oh, the Eidolon Black Ops men. Each one,their own baggage but hearts of gold. There is something about each one that has won my heart, but Mitch is super special. It's by chance that Autumn comes to be his tenant with her adorable daughter Maggie. The two have an attraction that is explosive, but Autumn has a past that she may not be able to shake. This is a fast paced story, and a slow burn romance is both intriguing and heart warming. Autumn is a strong woman, and she knows keeping Maggie safe is her goal. But she deserves some happiness too, right? Mitch, the eldest of the team, thought his time had passed, but Autumn has sparked the light in him. And the scenes with Maggie...be still my heart. Maddie Wade has created a family with her Black Ops team, one that gives that feeling of having their backs and knowing their hearts. It's another fantastic listen and addition to the series.

Carl Mason just adds to the story. His pacing, his voices and his ability to tell the story is exactly what enhances it all. He is perfect as each character, giving the appropriate feelings and inflections to make me feel everything. Whether it's danger or love, I was there in the story and he made the time fly by.

Narration Kept Me Fully Engaged!

I enjoyed Mitch and Autumn's story. I loved the way Mitch behaved with Maggie. I also liked the way he took his time developing his relationship with Autumn.

The book had some action, danger, suspense, and a bit of intrigue. There was some brewing in the background and I didn't know what it was, until I did.

Although Mitch had some issues from his past, I appreciated there was not a ton of angst on his part associated with those issues. This was a nicely paced book that could be read in one sitting.

I have completely read this series out of order, unintentionally, but that has not lessened my enjoyment.

I really enjoyed the story but ...

... I didn't enjoy the audio.
Single mom in witness protection, POC, slow burn

Loved Mitch and Autumn (and Maggie), their chemistry was perfect. The suspense plot line was interesting and kept me listening.

I do recommend reading this series in order, but it can be a standalone.

Narration - Carl Mason has a great voice but I had to speed up the narration a lot more than usual.
Production needs to be proofed again. Lots of long pauses and repeated sentences - unfortunately these really distracted me from the story and since they were throughout the audio it was hard to overlook.
