Withholding Evidence

By: Rachel Grant

Narrated by: Nicol Zanzarella

Some secrets are worth dying for...Military historian Trina Sorensen has a nearly impossible task before her: get recalcitrant but tempting former Navy SEAL Keith Hatcher to reveal what happened during a top secret Somalia op five years ago. Recent history isn't usually her forte, but the Navy wants a historian's perspective and has given her the high security clearance to get the job done. Keith isn't just refusing to tell Trina about the op, he's protecting a national secret that could destroy the lives of those he cares about the most. But not wanting to talk about a covert mission doesn't mean he isn't interested in spending time with the sexy historian, and the first time they kiss, it's explosive. When the past comes pounding on Keith's door, he'll do anything to keep Trina safe...Anything, that is, except tell her the secret that could get them both killed.

Love This Series

Rachel Grant has a talent for grabbing the readers attention and never letting it go. The plot is interesting and inventive and the characters fit perfectly into the plot.

Exciting

An exciting and suspenseful story with secrets best kept that way and love that can complicate things.
Ms. Zanzarella did captivate my attention with her passion with which she narrated the story. A little more differentiation between the characters would have been better though.

This book had it all

It was action packed with just enough corky romance and heated passion to keep me wanting more. I can't wait to dive into the next in its series.

Same theme, different characters.

I really enjoyed the first 3 audiobooks I listened to by this author (flashpoint series), so I quickly started a "catch-up". After 3 more... this is like an audio soft porn... same detailed sex ...think I'll return. Sad, seems like there is a creative mind for some of the stories, but maybe I'll wait till a new novel and see if it continues.

Grabbed me in the first few minutes

This is a fast paced book, as is the style of Rachel Grant. The reader/listener is quickly thrust into the midst of, she needs to do what??? and can that sexy guy step over here for a few minutes??
She is a military historian and he has a story to tell - but won't. It's fast, fun and sexy. Quick twist at the end.
It's fun to listen to this type of book. Not brain surgery, but captures my attention.

interesting

decent storyline ,interesting, easy to listen to , enjoyable. overall enjoyed the book. will look for the author again

Great book

Loved this story, totally action packed and full of surprises. Just the right amount of steamy scenes and not grossly detailed either. Great narrator as well.

Hot and suspenseful novella

This hot suspenseful novella is intrigue, danger, excitement and romance strapped onto roller coaster pacing. Keith and Trina are real, relatable people who have flaws, but are really trying to just do their best as messy fallible humans. I especially liked that every time one of them messed up they sought the other one out to apologize and make amends. It kept the romance angst to a minimum and was a nice mature way to show how a relationship works. Trina is a military historian that is researching events that happened five years ago in Somalia. Keith is a former SEAL who is on Trina’s interview list but he has not responded to her emails. When Trina shows up at Keith’s door asking about Somalia, the chemistry ignites and the danger kicks into high gear. The suspenseful adventure of Keith and Trina will give you all the feels - laughing, crying, swooning, gasping, cringing, teeth gritting, and cheering. The book has a little bit of everything just like you would expect from romantic suspense - sweet moments, strong bonds, sexy times, real life issues, imperfect characters, dangerous moments, mystery, uber protective men, secrets, painful pasts, evil actors, and love. The story included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging storyline. I love when romantic suspense keeps me guessing who the bad guys are and I am loving this series of strong men with equally strong women.

Nicol Zanzarella did a wonderful job narrating the stories and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly.

Another great listen

Rachel Grant just seems to get the balance right. She tells a great story where there is drama, sex and well developed characters. This book was no exception. While not my favourite book from this author, it was still a fantastic listen.
One of the things I like best about Ms Grant is her ability to write intelligent, capable female leads. She holds the men in her books accountable for their actions as well as the women. I love that the hero is intelligent, but also has emotions that makes him less than perfect. I love that the heroine is ‘allowed’ to just like sex - no shame, no body image issues, no issue around does this make her a slut or that she has to only like sex if her emotions are involved.
I gave this story 4 stars just because it is a bit slow in places and the female lead was a bit more annoying than usual - but still great.

Withholding Evidence

I've read the previous 2 books in the series. Narration and storylines are good... great mysteries in general. I'd seriously consider buying more from this author. The romance is corny, falling in love SO quick... not just falling in love, but falling into bed in the first 30 mins. Why do good writers feel the need to cheapen their story with your instant love and very graphic sex scenes? How about a little less sex and more romance? I'm not sure I'll be reading the rest of the books.
