His Reluctant Savior

The District, Book 3

By: Courtney W. Dixon

Narrated by: Harley Chase

I have a second chance to right wrongs, even if it means I’ll lose my family and life.

Sid Virgil: FBI analyst Dalton Reed’s name is on my hit list, but I know I won’t do it. Though I haven’t seen Dalton in twenty-seven years, we have a history together. He saved my life many years ago, and he doesn’t even realize it. Now, it’s my turn to save him and his young son. Saving Dalton puts my life at risk with my assassin family, but I owe it to him, and I owe it to myself.

Dalton Reed: Sid, goddamn, Virgil. I haven’t seen him in twenty-seven years, and I now find him standing between me and my escape. He insists he wants to help me, but I know he was sent to kill me. I don’t trust him. He was a bastard to me growing up as a teen, and I’m sure he’s a bastard now. He’s a killer. But I’m being hunted, and I have no choice but to let Sid help. My son is all that matters.

Can these two men see beyond their past to save Dalton before it’s too late? Can Sid’s family forgive him for his betrayal?

Reluctant Savior

Harley Chase brings Sid and Dalton to life. The pacing is perfect and enjoyable to listen to.

Fantastic

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The narrator brings the story alive and fills the characters in the book.

My favorite in the series so far!

Harley Chase knocks it out of the park again! I loved this series when I read it, and having him bring these characters to life absolutely just makes it that much better! I love how he kept the accents from from the other family members intact when they made an appearance as well. 5 out of 5 stars hands down! Great, captivating story and amazing narriation!

Snark and Car Chases!

I am not sure what I enjoyed more, the bit of snark that was Sid our assassin, or just all the action and suspense! These two really were in a tight situation. One that required them to be on the run with a literal car chase! Mixed with this danger though Sid managed to keep me smiling with his snark and over top possessiveness. He is determined to make things right with Dalton. Nice chemistry and good single Dad family feels along with, well assassin family feels! And Harley Chase narrated that car "Chase "to perfection as well all the other obsessive tendencies!

More assassin-y goodness

Sid is given an assignment to take out someone from his past, though he keeps this information from Malik and goes AWOL to protect the man he hasn't seen since high school.

Dalton works for the FBI and is given a videotape of a top political figure engaging in a revolting act, which leads to exposing a seedy underbelly of wealthy politicians. When they find out Dalton has evidence against them, they send multiple organizations to take him out.

The story follows Sid as he tries desperately to protect Dalton from the various assassins on their tail.

I was pretty happy with Sid's story, though some of it was over-the-top (a lot of destruction and death by Sid alone, kind of giving off overpowered/superhuman vibes a time or two).

Favorite quote/scene--------------

"I may be a killer, but I’m not a fucking monster who cares about nothing. Now, stop asking me why and accept my damn help.”

My body sagged, and I nodded. “Okay.”

Sid’s frown turned into a smirk. “Obedient. I like it.”

“And you just had to ruin it.”

He stood straight and shrugged. “What can I say? It’s part of my charm.”

---------------------


Dalton resists Sid for quite a while, so it's a slow burn. There are many TW's, and you should take them seriously: specifically somewhat detailed SA.

The narration is on point: Harley Chase does an amazing job of giving life to Sid and Dalton!
