really good!

This was a pretty quick romantic suspense with great narration. I can't wait to check out more by this author and narrator.

Endearing and Hot

I really enjoyed this book for a quick lesson. Shelly was a good female lead. She was multifaceted and not a pushover. I like her background story which made her seem more of a strong character. Stan was a bit of a dick, but I warmed to him after a while.

Quick but Really Good!

This story is very quick but really good. The narration was good and kept you entertained. This was my first book by this author but definitely will not be my last. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A fresh look at second-chance romance.

This is the third in Cheryl Yeko’s Hero Series, but a standalone. And it is an award winner. I was really interested to see what was so special about it, but I must say that I found it to be on a par with the first two novels. Perhaps all three should receive awards.

I found the romance and suspense of this novel compelling. Second-chance romance is not my favourite trope, but Ms. Yeko handled it differently to how I’ve read it before and consequently, I found it refreshing and appealing. On this point the novel is a stand out and perhaps that’s the reason for the award?

As with the first two books, I found the hero and heroine likeable, and the hero in particular, very heroic. I love that in all three books in the series, I loved the heroes. They were nice, protective, heroic guys without being bossy, dominating alphas. They were the kind of man a woman could love in real life.

I’ve now listened to all 3 stories in this series on Audible. Author Cheryl Yeko consistently wrote likeable main characters, and compelling romantic suspense. I’ll happily read any novel she writes in future.

Throughout the series, narrator Alan Taylor’s voice and characterisations were wonderful and easy to listen to, even when he was reading from the heroines’ points of view. I look forward to hearing him narrate again. Both he and Cheryl Yeko are happy discoveries for me.

A Fast-Paced Adventure

I enjoyed this audio book quite a bit. The premise is solid and intriguing right up to the end. The characters are given a lot of depth, and you understand where they're coming from.

The narration is solid. Alan has a very nice, pleasant voice for all of the main "narrator" parts. I thought a couple of the deep-voiced characters were a little jarring. He may have been trying to put a tough, southern touch on them, but they sounded a bit harsh, jarring. That's just nit-picking, I would definitely recommend it.
