Publisher's summary

When hostage negotiator Rafe Mancuso takes a bullet to save Sara Rios, his former partner, his actions make him a bona fide hero - and New York City’s newest most eligible bachelor. Then Rafe admits that Sara is much more than just another woman he’s rescued. Suddenly, a firestorm of gossip turns him into exactly what he doesn’t want to be: the Bachelor Blog’s newest hot topic. His only solution is to leave town and get himself out of the spotlight...and sexy, jaded Sara out of his mind.

NYPD Officer Sara Rios has Rafe to thank for saving her life and Rafe to blame for the media chaos surrounding her. She wants to throw herself back into duty at full throttle, but until her injuries heal, she’s on leave and in search of her rescuer. From the moment she finds Rafe and meets his large, boisterous family, she’s hooked. But mutual attraction doesn’t always mean happily ever after, and these two have a long way to go to find their fairy-tale ending.

Narrator killed a not so great story

The narrator had very little voice inflection and I was often confused as to which character was speaking. Transitions between the storyline were abrupt. Not impressed.

not sure what I think

the story line was pretty good. some parts just felt like it was dragging on a bit. but that also could have been the narrorator. she was VERY monotone the entire story. couldn't really tell the difference in voice changes for characters. I feel like I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if it had someone else reading aloud.

So close!

3.5 Stars for me!

My rating range throughout the story... 2 - 4.25 Stars

Main Character Ratings... H = 7 - h = 4

Scenes with heat.. Several

Heat Rating... 6
Clean - 1 or 2
Descriptive Sex - 5 or above
Beyond Descriptive Sex - 8 or above

The back story... H and h are at an event and a hostage situation occurs. Both are Police Officers and are injured while taking down the perp. The h is also a witness to a high profile murder and has to get out of town when a local blog publishes stories about her.

The Romance... Always there but medium burn

The drama explosion... TSTL moment due to h's anxiety.

Final Notes... I liked the story and it could have easily been a solid 4-5 Star listen for me. The h is constantly lamenting about how no relationship will work for her because of how she was brought up. The TSTL moment drove me crazy as it was beyond idiotic.

HEA or HFN? HFN

Good Story. Bad Narrator.

The story was written well but the narrators voice was soooo depressing that it was a struggle to listen without getting depressed from her tone

Rafe and Sara

An entertaining, suspenseful and mysterious journey to go on with Rafe and Sara. I enjoyed all the side characters, the connection and chemistry between Rafe & Sara and the intrigue. Fun story!

Narration poor

The storyline is interesting but the narration was so poor that it overshadowed the story. It would’ve held my interest more if I’d read the story instead of listening.

Wow!!! Love love love it

I really enjoyed listening to Sara & Rafe’s story. It had you wanting to guest what was coming next. What’s going to happen? How will this go down? I am pleased with myself that I guessed who was the watching Sara, that’s all I’ll say…don’t want to give anything away. You have read or listen to the book to find out.

I loved the characters in the book. I loved the story - it had action, passion, love, anger, sadness (there’s one part in the book that got me & I really teared up…if I wasn’t at work I most likely would’ve cried big time. Emotions are high in this book.
