Beyond the Call of Duty

Wings of Gold, Book 1

By: Tracy Tappan

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

Their cover demands they pose as hired sex workers to infiltrate a voyeuristic drug lord’s island fortress…

They plan a distraction to get them out before things go too far…

The distraction doesn’t show.

Lieutenant Eric “LZ” O’Dwyer lives for impossible missions.

Estranged from his powerful father for choosing the military instead of the family business, Eric brews with an internal chaos that drives him toward ops with high-risk flying, razor-thin margins, and bad odds. But posing as a male prostitute with a gorgeous, smart-mouthed DEA agent who pushes all his bad - and dangerously good - buttons may be the mission that finally unravels him.

Special Agent Nicole Gamboa is done with partners who think her body is part of the job.

This Navy pilot? Cocky, dark-Irish sexy, and absolutely the type to take advantage of their steamy mission to slip in a little collateral seduction. But Nicole spent her childhood in hiding, building her emotional armor. She’s prepared for betrayal. She’s prepared for danger. She’s prepared for…everything except for what actually happens.

When the op falls apart and Nicole is captured, she’s forced to face the one scenario she never trained for: believing that Eric might be the partner she can finally trust.

To save her, Eric will have to pull off an extraction that borders on suicidal - right up his alley.

Except this time, the stakes are way too high.

Everything he pretended to feel for Nicole has become gut-level real, and failure would mean losing the one woman who’s ever managed to quiet the chaos inside him.

BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY launches Tracy Tappan’s explosive military romantic thriller series, where courageous naval aviators face unspeakable danger—and the kind of love worth risking everything for.

Great audible!

Loved who the author got to narrate this book. I could listen to his voice all day. I had already read the book and really enjoyed listening to the story. I will be buying more audibles from this author.

how accurate they could be

wish the characters got together sooner but had great detail. good range of characters also

beyond the call of duty

this story was just ok. I expected a lot more action. the romance was weak. the Narrator was good but could have been better with 2.

Story had potential

This was a FB recommendation, the premise i liked to I got it.

Starting with the good stuff: the narrator was great for a male. not so much as a female but enjoyed the narration none the less.

Now the not so good. grown adult men in the military or otherwise do not call their potential woman girlfriend. its sounded like a 15 yr old asking a girl to go steady. And starting the way you did, left no room for world building which, in order to invest in the characters, you needed.

I wanted a story I could believe in. One with teeth. Instead we got stereotypical Hispanic drug cartel, rich white dude with a daddy issues coming to the rescue and an fmc who said all the strong things but did none of them.

I really wanted to like it.
