About this listen

It'll take more than his battle-hardened instincts to defend her....

CIA linguist Sabrin Harris's plans for a relaxing vacation went up in smoke when 26 hostages disappeared just north of her grandmother's house in Slovakia. Now, she's been called into action. Her mission is fairly simple. Not allowing herself to be distracted by the hot-as-sin ex-Australian Commando who's sent in to help and defend her will be infinitely more difficult.

Iniquus Security operative Ryder Kelly remembers Sabrin as the beautiful woman his dog picked out of the crowd at a tactical K9 competition. When they're assigned to work together, Ryder soon realizes he could fall for her just as easily as his dog Voodoo did. So, all he has to do now is keep Sabrin alive long enough to get to their happily ever after. Easy, right?

Their timing is all wrong. Romance was never part of the plan. But with enemies closing in, the fragile bond Sabrin and Ryder have formed might be all that allows them to save the day - and each other.

Contains mature themes.

Australian speaking Australian. story good, but not one of my faves

I feel like I'm back in the Even Odds book.
A very unusual story, not much like Fiona's political espionage agendas.
The plotline was a little..out there for me. It works with Fiona's intricate workings, only this time linguistics is the key basis to revolve the story around. But once again the interaction between H and h is disjointed.
The K9 is the reason I started this fiona quinn journey starting with the K9 series then backtracking to start Lynx's series.
But this book, number 3, is totally off kilter. There was so many theories and thought processes, I started to get lost as the flow was didnt seem to be there like Ms Quinns previous books.
Her romance and relationships writing, for me, Isnt as good as her descriptive international espionage.
Voodoo was unusual as a K9. The dog seemed to engulf and dedicate himself to the h immediately. I didn't see the reasoning as to his sudden attraction.
Moving from mission focus and obedience to dual loyalties in a novel appears to be a difficult mesh in my opinion.
Rupert Channing the narrator is Australian and I breathed a sigh of relief as I didn't want an American voice trying the accent.
I'm thinking I might have been thrown off by this story, again, from the narrator, even though he did well in this book.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
