Just Say When

By: Aimee Nicole Walker

Narrated by: Tristan James

Someone wants Police Chief Emilio Mendoza dead. And if his unknown assailant doesn't kill him, pining for Sheriff Abraham Beecham just might.

Abe and Lio's thirty-year journey has taken them from heated rivals to best friends with countless labels and pit stops along the way. Romance is the only avenue left unexplored but not from lack of love or desire.

Abe pushes people away before they can get too close, and Lio doesn't engage in situations he can't control. They've reached an impasse, and neither are willing to risk their friendship until fate intervenes, forcing them to reassess their priorities.

But when an unhinged enemy targets Lio, will their gamble be too little too late, or will their love truly conquer all?

Just Say When is a stand-alone romantic suspense novel within the author's Savannah universe.

Contains mature themes.

Great story

Love it. The story was really interesting and the narrator was very well composed too

enjoyed it

📖 Story comment: likealble MC's, pace was a little inconsistent, uncomplicated plot.
Fan's of Aimee Nicole Walker's "Savannah universe" will enjoy seeing Police Chief Mendoza get his HEA. This is what I call an easy listen, there's not alot going on so its easy to listen to while doing something else without losing any of the story.

The Publishers summary is a little deceiving, I was expecting more action or suspense in the plot, but it all takes a bit of a backseat to the relationship until the very end. I'm not complaining as I did enjoy the story, but this book is just more of an easy journey of two middle aged men finally taking the next steps on a decades long friendship than the cat and mouse game of "Someone wanting Police Chief Mendoza dead" and "romantic suspense" implied.

🎧 Narrator comment: Personally I love Tristan James as a narrator, I go through phases where he's just what I need to soothe the jagged edges of my psyche. I find his tones soothing, he has good timing and inflections and he brings these characters to life. This particular performance doesn't have a huge difference between Lio and Abe's voices - it relies more on the character's personality than vocal sound to differentiate them, that being said, I had no real issue discerning which character was speaking, I enjoyed the performance and look forward to more from this author/narrator duo in the future.

Another great read by Aimee Nicole Walker

I loved this story and the entire Savannah series. I was sad to see the series conclude. All the characters were 3 dimensional and Aimee weaves them and their intertwined stories expertly. I highly recommend all the Savannah stories.

Loved this book!

Even though this was stand alone I am happy that a lot of the side characters are getting their stories told. Leo and Abe needed to have their story told. It was great. The drama and the love these two have since a young age was beautiful.

Enjoyable

Very nice story. There was lots of subtle humor throughout a well. The narration was fabulous as well. This book was soooo good, that I listened to it in one setting. Well done👍👍
