Silent Threat

Mission Recovery, Book 1

By: Dana Marton

Narrated by: Sarah Naughton

A former Navy SEAL, Cole Makani Hunter has returned home from a disastrous black ops mission without his best friend, his hearing, or the use of his right arm. So when his ex - commanding officer assigns him to an undercover mission at a rehab center for vets to discover who leaked sensitive military information to an enemy, he'd rather be anywhere but there. Almost immediately, Cole finds himself at odds with Annie Murray - a peace-loving ecotherapist whose dream is to open an animal sanctuary out of her home. While the two seemingly have nothing in common, their spirited arguments soon fuel a passion for each other.

But just as things begin to heat up between therapist and patient, dangerous complications arise. So does the past - and a shocking revelation that puts Cole and everything he now holds dear in the path of a murderous traitor.

Getting the Truth

I liked that this story highlighted the importance of a variety of treatments available to treat trauma. All the characters needed to find coping strategies for moving forward.

If you have Kindle unlimited READ IT!

Non Spoiler quick thoughts:

I loved the first encounter between H/h. I can't recall the last author who hooked me they way this first meeting between Cole and Annie did.

I liked the mystery bad guy. Why? Because until the reveal I was not sure who it was. The author wove that part of the bad guy really well. I was nervous for the heroine (Annie) on multiple occasions and actually felt the danger she was in.

How did I feel about the relationship between H/h overall? At times I loved, hated and was just okay with it. I thought the Hero was well hot and the Heroine was the one who had to grow on me. I started this book reading along to the audio version but the narrator seemed to drag things on and sometimes the way things were read seemed cringey. In text form it was much less mother earth preachy.

The ending?
Well honestly I expected more. I wasn't unhappy with the ending but I was left a little disappointed because of how things were built up between the H/h.

Overall it is still a really good book that is worth reading, especially if you have kindle unlimited. Its free that way so just read it.

It was good.

This book was okay. Annie was infuriating sometimes and honestly it seemed like she could hold her own throughout the book but overall I liked her as a character. I felt that the chemistry between her and Cole was lacking but they make a cute couple. Overall not bad.

Great romantic suspense!

This audiobook was a surprise to me at how much I enjoyed it! The heroine is a quirky, Earth mother type who is working as a therapist at a rehab center for soldiers with PTSD. She also has a bunch of animals she takes care of who have been injured or abandoned. One of my favorite scenes is when she has to “go feed the babies” while the hero tags along and he realizes that it’s a bunch of baby skunks! The hero is really at the rehab center on assignment trying to find a traitor, but he attends the therapy sessions too. He starts to really fall for her, but she’s worried that because he’s a patient at the rehab center it would be unethical ( even though she doesn’t work with him ). Throw in a crazy stalker and the story was so entertaining I listened to it all day in order to finish it. Narration was very well done too.

Story was just so so

The book was pretty good, but I didn't care for the narration. A little bit of romance, action and mystery!
