love story?

Not overly impressed but I will hold my review until I hear the 2nd book

Excellent new series!

This new series by Mike Ryan is really fun. It’s full of action and although it’s not a long novel there is quite a bit packed into it. The protagonist is Luke Bridge. Ex CIA, out on his own and using the skills he learned during his career. His objective is helping people he deems worthy of his skills. This generally involves putting himself into dangerous situations. The outcome does not always go as planned and not all customers are honest. ..............Eduardo Ballerini does a phenomenal job narrating. He is one of my personal favorites. ................ This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION............... If you found this review helpful please indicate so. ............... Thank You.

Shallow

Narrator is always winner. Storyline too snarky. Characters just didn't catch my interest. 4 hour run time not worth a credit.

Ballerini can only do so much

Listening to an audio book like this makes me appreciate the importance of an author's ability to describe setting. The author relied heavily on dialogue and made too many attempts at humor which largely fell flat. I gave this audio book a chance because Edoardo Ballerini was the performer and in my opinion he is the best, but even the best performer can't elevate weak writing. This would make for a decent comic book series, but lacks sufficient substance to be a novel.

Stupid conversations

I did not enjoy the characters and their lame interactions. Here's another male-female duo where he goes around sleeping with every other girl around except for his partner, claiming it would ruin their partnership, but they spend the entire book flirting around the fact that they like each other. Nah.
