Torpedo

Bones MC, Book 7

By: Marteeka Karland

Narrated by: Umi Markkanen

Ambrosia: When I went to the penthouse, I was expecting a playboy. I wasn’t even surprised when the playboy in question answered the door stark naked. The gun surprised me, but, I just roll with it because it’s a job. Given my present circumstances, work is hard to come by. My crazy ex, Tyler, got put in prison, and his equally crazy father, Richmond, decided it was my fault. He’s managed to get me fired from every job and kicked out of every apartment I’ve landed since. What I need is a hero. Unfortunately, those are in short supply. Until I catch the attention of a crazy, naked man wielding a gun. Sensing a theme here?

Torpedo: After more than a month on the roof of the world, I’m ready for some sunshine. The last thing I need or expect is another woman vying for my attention. The cute little thing who has the job of being my personal butler while I’m on vacation changes all that. She’s professional and courteous, never coming onto me like most women do. Lord knows I gave her reason to, answering the door naked as the day I was born. She runs fast enough when I inform her I was in the middle of a self-pleasuring session, though. Can you see my smirk? Unfortunately, she doesn’t need a naked man in her life. She needs a hero. One to slay her demons. Fortunately for her, that man is me.

Excellent

Narration Review- I really enjoy books narrated by Umi. She is clear and easy to understand. Her voice is pleasant. She does the voices so well that I forget that she has a feminine voice while she is doing the male character voices.
Story review- I enjoyed the love story between Ambrosia and Torpedo. Seriously, how cool is the name “Ambrosia”? Their attraction was instant and translated into very hot and spicy erotic scenes. I liked the side characters and loved to hate the bad guys and gal. This story has everything I want in an audiobook romance.
I received an advance review copy of this audiobook for free and this is my honest, voluntary review.

Series gets better and better!!!!!!!!!!!

Rose and Torpedo are the perfect couple. I love that the trope of age-gap, mc and military romances.

I love Umi Markkanen as the narrator of the series. Her voice with emotions, intonations and gruffness is perfect for the characters.

I am soooooooo loving this series and looking forward to more!!!!

Good continuation

This was on the sweeter side for the series not a whole lot of action, some new character introductions and good narration making it a quick and entertaining listen.

Torpedo and Rose

I loved Torpedo and Rose story! They are a amazing couple. Umi does an amazing job narrating. I have loved every book of this series so far.

Much like others by this author...

In typical Karland fashion, the heroine is getting the ‘short end of the stick’ from life in general and could use some rescuing and the hero is inexplicably drawn to her, as if a tale of ‘fated mates’, but it’s contemporary, so those don’t exist.

The characters are likable and the world and predicament she’s in is fun, so it works, IMO.
Could’ve done with less of the overused ‘you’re going to get sick of me’ / ‘not I’m not’ around and around thing. This is overdone in all of Karland’s series, seeming to crop up between at least one couple in each club.


V!rgin heroine.

Overall:
Love Rose and how all 3 clubs worked together in this one. Another fun installment!

4 stars.

Audio:
The narrator did a great job - performing rather than sounding like a bot, and using different voices for different characters. Excellent. Overall sound quality was perfect. 5 stars.
