Guts and Glory: Walker

In the Shadows Security, Book 4

By: Jeanne St. James

Narrated by: Mason Lloyd, Ava Lucas

You can lie down and give up, or you can rise and keep going....

Walker’s been living life by this motto since the age of 20 when the girl he planned his future with shattered his heart and left a hole in his soul. His time in the military, and current job at In the Shadows Security, have kept him moving but he’s always felt the ache of that loss.

From the outside Ellie McMaster has led a seemingly perfect life, big house, rich adoring husband, fancy cars. But it’s all been a huge lie, one that started 19 years ago when she walked away from her first love and the boy who stole her heart. Now time has run out for her and with nowhere to go and nothing left to lose she’ll have to face down the pain of the past in hopes of saving her future.

But Trace Walker isn’t the carefree teenager she remembers, he’s now a muscle-bound titan with nothing but hurt and anger shining in his blue eyes. His time in the Army as a Night Stalker wasn’t easy, and he didn’t return home whole. Will he open himself up again and face the risks that come with having Ellie back in his life, back in his heart? Can this be their shot at a happily ever after, or their final goodbye?

Note: Walker is the fourth book of the Guts and Glory series, a six-book spin-off from my Dirty Angels MC series. While it’s recommended to listen to both series in order, each book can be listened to as a stand-alone. As with all my books, this has an HEA, no cliffhanger or cheating.

Mmmmmm so good

OMG, Mason Lloyd made me giggle and laugh throughout this entire book. His F bombs and McMF was hilarious. The story was very good, probably my fav so far ❤. Ava is fantastic as always.

love it

I love this book. this series is awesome. I tell all my friends to listen to them

If you love someone set them free...

Jeanne knocks it out of the park again with this one! I shouldn’t even be surprised anymore. She makes me fall in love with her characters every time. Walker and Ellie are no different. The two of them are pure fire together and have been waiting way too long for their HEA. I knew I liked Walker from the very beginning, I was instantly drawn to him and wanted him to have the chance at having the love you knew his broken heart deserved. Ellie is pure sunshine and has suffered due to one bad choice she made when she was barely even an adult. My heart aches at the life she knew she threw away before she realized what she really did. These two deserved the world together. They both suffered and their story makes your heart hurt for all the time they lost together. Fate is a funny thing though. Always there when you really need it, but least expect it. 5 amazing stars.

if it comes back...

Walker and Ellie pulled me into their unrequited love story. The promises they made at such a young age rang out over the years. I loved how when Ellie was in dangerous straits Walker, as well as the rest of the Shadows, banded together to find the solution. Ava Lucas and Mason Lloyd pulled me even deeper into this story when they brought these characters to life.

WOW Walker!!!!

Well Walker lived up to all my expectations and more! Holy Moly what a man!! loved this story overall. The second chance love, forced proximity and then the badass Alphaness!!! Great book, and I adore ALL the other characters we know and love interacting!! Ava Lucas is Awesome as usual! And one of my very favorites, Mason Lloyd is perfect as Walker!!! ❤❤❤
