Perilous Trust

Off the Grid: FBI Series, Book 1

By: Barbara Freethy

Narrated by: Amy McFadden

It was one dark night that brought Damon Wolfe and Sophie Parker together. They were two tortured souls, looking for escape, and they weren't supposed to see each other ever again...

Four years later, Sophie's FBI father, who is also Damon's mentor, is killed in a suspicious car crash after leaving Sophie a cryptic message to trust no one from the agency. When Damon shows up looking for her, she isn't sure if he's friend or enemy, but she knows he could easily rip apart what is left of her heart.

The last thing Damon wants is to get involved with Sophie again. It was hard enough to walk away the first time. But she's in trouble, her father's reputation is under attack, and the lives of his fellow agents are at stake if there's a traitor in their midst.

When someone starts shooting at them, they have no choice but to go on the run and off the grid. Everyone in their world becomes a suspect. They want to uncover the truth, but will it turn out to be the last thing they expect? Proving her father's innocence might just cost them their hearts...and their lives...

Critic reviews

"Perilous Trust is a non-stop thriller that seamlessly melds jaw-dropping suspense with sizzling romance, and I was riveted from the first page to the last." (USA Today HEA Blog)

"Barbara Freethy's first book Perilous Trust in her off the grid series is an emotional, action packed, crime drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat...I'm exhausted after reading this but in a good way. Five Stars!" (Booklovers Anonymous)

"It’s been a while since I have had the fun of reading a brilliant romantic suspense book - Perilous Trust gets me back into this genre with a bang!" (For the Love of Fictional Worlds)

I liked the written book better

This is one book that I preferred in written form. I really enjoyed it in that form. The story has a lot of intrigue and some romance. The performance is pretty good but not great. The story just seemed to drag a bit for me in audible. It's not a winner for me, but I know it is for others.

Trust

I love these books! One of my favorite series. Loaded with suspense. As Daman and Sophie realize they love each other they also uncover they mole and the crime family responsible for it all.

Narration Sucks

I'm only a few chapters in and may not finish. The storyline seems like it may be good, but the narration is regretful. The voice inflections are off. Might be better to read the book.

FBI intrigue

I actually liked the plot, the characters and the story. Plenty of excitement and intrigue with some romance. I'm marking this down a bit because the narrator's voice was wrong - too young, bright and cheery for this type of a book so it really detracted from the story. I think this would be better read on Kindle.

Story line was good

So the story line was good, enjoyed it, however I felt like Sophie and Damon narration was sometimes sounding childish.
