Viable Threat

Outbreak Task Force Series, Book 1

By: Julie Rowe

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

Special Forces soldier and medic Walter River would give anything to snatch more than a few seconds of down time to see if he can rattle the no-nonsense and incredibly hot Dr. Lloyd he's protecting, but dodging explosions, snipers, and student radicals who've unleashed a lethal bio-engineered microorganism have made that almost impossible. Maybe he'll get a chance - if he can figure out how to keep them both alive.

CDC microbiologist Ava Lloyd races to find a cure for a bio-terrorism organism sweeping El Paso. The few stolen moments with her very hunky bodyguard River have been explosive, but no matter how alluring he is, she can't afford to get distracted. The clock is ticking, people are dying by the hundreds, and once this crisis is solved, they'll both be off on their next assignment, thousands of miles apart.

Contains mature themes.

I love this book can’t wait to read the next book

I love this from beginning to end it was very well written and the spice was so good even though it was a slow burn it was still beautiful written.

Such a great combo

What a great story! Science, action, love story! Absolutely engaging and awesome listen. Kept me guessing!

Interesting take on what could happen.

Current and contemporary situations with an interesting romantic subplot. Could have focused more on the details of the romance & less on the repeated violence.

Too much sex or Sexual talk

Good books do Not Need graphic sex A kiss or two or retire to the bedroom with closed door

Thrilling exciting

I thought the story had a good plot with a little heat, lots of thrills, a few chills and tons of excitement. Has interesting and likable characters that you get lost in. It is a good start to the series with a few jaw dropping moments that really hold your attention.


The narrator does a good job, I really like his character voices how ever he doesn't deliver the emotions to the characters and drags his lines. The characters voices go well and seem to fit the characters. I can really hear the power they hold, and the danger they are going through. No repeating of voice, no volume changes, no background noises. I liked how his voice seems dry it really fits Jack character but at times all the character seemed dry, needs more emotions. This is the first time I have listened to any of his work and I did enjoy it.
