Under Suspicion

The Alexander series is so fun! I love listening to the books in the series , it's like visiting an old friend.

This time Ethan gets his own story and meets Layla's cousin. Of course there is an instant attraction. And being put on her security detail is rather interesting for Ethan. I loved the introduction to Sasha's friend. She was a really fun new character. The case they are working on this time ends up being a more normal case and keeps you on your toes and guessing. This story is well written and narrated. The narration really adds to the story!

Good Listen

Ethan is keeping Sasha safe and he wants more than to protect her. Ethan and Sasha connects and he must convince her that they are doing more than working together. Great narration. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Mystery and Romance!

I have listened to several books by both the author and narrator and find both are so talented. I had several standout favorite characters in this book -- Ethan (hero) and Nola (side character who is so endearing). DC Cole was able to perform so many distinguishable voices for the various characters and them brings them to life. This book is a standalone listen and part of a series. I loved the twists this story had. I will definitely listen to more books in this series, and those performed by the narrator. The imagery and emotions in this book were very realistic. I also loved the banter between the characters, and how intuitive some of them were.

a nice book

first I have to say, I didn't read the previous books of this series, but I can say I didn't feel the lack of information. the book did show me parts of the story of the other characters, and made me want to read the previous book.
the book was well written, it wasn't very heavy although it was good. I couldn't feel like I'm in a constant suspense but, I did want to know what will happen next.
Ethan and Sasha are very sweet and cute.
the sarcastic parts were very nice.. and overall it's a great book.
I didn't listen 2 something of this narrator before and I have to say he was very good. I will definitely want to hear something from this narrator again.

My Favorite In The Series!

I’ve listened to every audiobook in the Alexander Ranch series. This story is the fifth in the series and centers on Jordan’s brother Ethan. For me this book is the best in this fantastic series. When Sasha and Ethan team up with the rest of the Alexander gang to solve a mystery, sparks fly between the two. Sasha is every bit the independent woman just like Jordan’s prickly girlfriend Lela, but Ethan has watched the lessons learned the hard way by his brother and he is determined to avoid the pitfalls.

I enjoyed the banter between Ethan and Sasha and I got a kick out of how Ethan approached Sasha’s independent nature and diffusing her temper.

DC Cole narrates this audiobook which is 4 ½ hours long and he’s is one of my favorites. He does a wonderful job voicing all of the characters in this audiobook.

Great listen!

Loved this! Intriguing story that kept me hooked from the beginning. I loved Sasha and Ethan. Plenty of laughs listening to this one. Fantastic narrator too! I received a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Thrilling Mystery Romance!

What a fun, suspenseful, spin-off to Marla Josephs Alexander series! It hits the ground running and keeps you engaged from start to finish. Courageous, sassy, Sasha finds herself in the middle of a precarious investigation. She is forced to have a very sexy Ethan watching over her to keep her safe. As the case takes on more twists and turns it also becomes more dangerous. I really enjoyed watching them dance around each other and their attraction grow. The banter between Ethan and Sasha was witty and their chemistry was explosive!

DC Cole did a fabulous job with the many different characters, making it easy to recognize each one. His voice it perfect for a mystery romance and I get lost in his execution.

This interesting, clever, mystery keeps you guessing until the very end. If you like mystery romance with a light paranormal twist, you will definitely enjoy this book!

A Good Read

Marla Josephs does it again! It’s an easy read but funny and keeps you guessing who done it. You will have a good time with this book.

Great story with fantastic narration

I'm one of those people that has a to-be-read(listened to) list that is a mile long. And now it's going to get even longer as well as be re-arranged. I'm officially hooked now and the rest of this series is going straight to the top of the list. Even though this is part of an ongoing series each book is a standalone mystery. This is the first book from the series that I have read and had no problem following the storyline or the characters.

This a well written, fun, entertaining and engaging story that flows smoothly with a little steamy romance, plenty of mystery and suspense, a bit of humor and an unusual group of detectives with some interesting paranormal abilities. The balance of romance, humor, paranormal and mystery is perfect. Not too much of any one thing. The story pulled me in immediately and held my complete attention from start to finish. Before I knew it almost 5 hrs. had flown by and the story was over. I didn't want it to end.

Great cast of interesting and well rounded characters. Ethan was immediately likable. Sasha took a bit longer to warm up to, but not long. Even though this story centers around Ethan and Sasha I had no problem keeping all the characters straight. They were all likable and each one has a distinct personality and a place in the story. None of them felt like they were secondary characters to Ethan and Sasha. They were all equal.

I do have a few unanswered questions but those will probably be answered when I listen to the rest of the series. Which I am looking forward to.

DC Cole did a fantastic job with the narration. He has one of those voices that as made for narrating books, it just draws you right into a story and makes it and the characters come to life. It's easy to listen to his voice for hours on end and never get tired of it. Clearly spoken with a nice even pace. Great character voices. Both male and female. Each character is easily distinguishable. Perfect tone and delivery with the humor. Very enjoyable.

nice romantic suspense

First off, I will need to read the Alexander Security books to get a full appreciation for this series...I was a bit lost for the first couple of chapters then finally understood the dynamic between the characters. Lela and Sasha are cousins, and share some paranormal abilities...as does Ethan. Lela is concerned when she receives a call from Sasha that she's at a bar following someone and she doesn't feel well. Ethan, part of the Alexander team, is called and asked to retrieve Sasha and get her to a doctor. The team discovers that Sasha has been drugged. A quick debrief with Sasha reveals that her room mate's brother, Paul, is involved in a bizarre case of possible sexual harassment at the school in which he's a teacher. The team assigns Ethan to protect Sasha, while investigating the incident. Some steamy scenes, some paranormal action, lots of drama but then the ending seems abrupt...wish that there was more on the relationship between Ethan and Sasha, as well as some real closure for Paul. That said, I enjoyed the narration and the book.
