About this listen

A painful past

Deke Murphy and Maddie Hall should never have worked as a couple in high school. She was the class valedictorian and he the jock who took nothing seriously...except her. Together they formed an amazing team, and young love blossomed into something that strengthened them both. Until tragedy struck and Deke made a sacrifice that split them up forever.

An unexpected reunion

Seventeen years later, Maddie is living her dream working for a brilliant tech guru in the beauty of Southern California. She’s made a life for herself, and it’s first class all the way. She rarely thinks of the jock who dumped her all those years ago. But when Maddie realizes her boss might be part of an international conspiracy, she can’t deny Deke might be her best bet to solve the mystery. Her onetime sweetheart works for one of the world’s premiere security and investigative firms. She’ll hire him and prove to herself their relationship could never have worked.

A dangerous future

As Maddie and Deke begin to uncover her boss’ secrets, they can’t deny the chemistry that has reignited. But before they can explore the connection growing between them, they must survive the deadly forces hunting them down.

Lexi does it again. An intriguing story of undercover and a second chance at true love. A heart ache at the end, that just left me wanting more. Lexi is a great storyteller.
Ryan West is awesomely great at reading Lexi’s stories.

...I learned that lesson from you."

I make no secret of the fact I love Lexi Blake and I adore the Masters and Mercenaries series and this latest addition is everything I could've asked for and a whole lot I didn't expect!! I loved seeing Deke - who has been around since book 7 (or 8?) of this now 24 book series - getting his second chance with his high school sweetheart Maddie. These two were clearly made for one another, and it was sad that it took them so long to find one another again. What I loved was the multiple cameos by so many of my fave M&M characters - including Ian being his sarcastic self as always; that it was low on angst and high on suspense; and that it set up the next book to pure perfection! Can No Time to Lie come out now?!?

Ryan West, yet again, makes the narration pure perfection!! Love his voice and love how he brings the M&M world to life!

Really love these books, the back story is fantastic with a little naughty thrown in. the voices are great and the storyline made me laugh out loud more than once.

I read all the original Masters and Mercenaries. Reloaded is the next generation. I found the names of the series confusing when I was ordering the books.
This is the first of the latter books and I found the story interesting but the BDSM bland.

Great story, well written and engaging. Keen to see what's next every time. Certainly keeps my 2.5 hr daily commute interesting.

Suspenseful
