Suspenseful, Second Chance Romance!

I was completely captivated by this suspenseful second chance romance! Callum and Gwen were young lovers when Callum left for the marines, vowing to not return, breaking Gwen's heart. Gwen eventually moved on, marrying Callum's brother, Ian. But her happiness was short lived with Ian's mysterious passing, leaving her once again with a broken heart. Month's later Callum finally returns home, to help his ailing father, and to win back the trust and love of the only woman who owns his heart. Gwen doesn't forgive easily. But the more time they spend together, her long buried feelings become harder to deny. Callum is determined to make sure she is taken care of, and safe, especially when mysterious events start happening. Gwen is sure that what happened to Ian wasn't as simple as they say. Callum gets in on her investigation, and the closer they get to the truth, the more danger they are in. This is a fast paced, suspenseful journey that kept me riveted from the very beginning. I loved the emotional push-pull between Callum and Gwen, making the sparks fly between them. They were so great together, challenging each other, and their chemistry was palpable!
Marina Barrett and Theo Sinclair did a great job bringing this story to life. Their inflections, banter, and accents were perfect as they built the suspense and steam of this story. This is my first listen to both of these narrators and I loved both their voices and their performance, so I will definitely look for more of their work.
There was a question that went unsolved, but I was still very happy with the ending. I loved this emotional, riveting and steamy story and can't wait for more in the First to Fight series.

It’s all about the journey!!

I was immediately sucked into Callum and Gwen’s complicated second chance love story. Their slow burn is hot and scary. But this time Callum can’t run, the stakes are too high and he must protect the love of his life. Marina and Theo’s narration heightened the emotions of these characters for me and had me emotionally invested in their journey. Great story, full of suspense, angsts, emotional roller coasters and love.

Callum and Gwen

An amazing second chance at romance with some mystery and suspense. It will suck you in from the beginning as it takes you through emotional ride and its twists and turns. I enjoyed Callum and Gwen’s journey as they overcome obstacles and things start to unravel. I loved their connection, the banter and flying sparks. It’s a well written story. Excellent narration by Marina Barrett and Theo Sinclair. They bring the characters to life.

Intense

This was such an emotional and intense story.
The past memories, the present emotions and the future hope.
This was full of secrets, hidden truths, grief, hope, love, passion and mystery.
The team might have to get back together to find the truth and uncover just what happened.

amazing

this book was amazing, I loved that Callum wanted to redeem himself to show he's changed and worthy towards Gwen. I did like Gwen character because she was described as a strong woman and independent but I was a bit annoyed by her. but I did loved the ending it was amazing something I was looking forward too.
