Audiobook review.

Looking back a year I see that I gave 5 stars when I read the original Kindle book so I was looking forward to the audiobook.

What a disappointment.

For me, the narrator killed all the suspense and tension. I noticed very quickly that she read without any variation in speed. She moved from paragraph to paragraph without the slightest pause for a change of scene or emotional temperature. It became a chore to listen to.

If I had bought this for a credit I would have returned it, but having obtained it at the whispersync price this is no longer an option.

I will be avoiding this narrator in future ( )

Serve ‘N’ Protect by Tee O’Fallon
A Federal K-9 Novel #5

What a delight to find a wonderful new author that made me smile, care, and want to read more of her work. I even chuckled a bit here and there even though this was definitely a romantic suspense genre novel.

What I liked:
* Cassidy Morgan: feisty, strong, survivor or major physical and emotional trauma, math wizard, accountant, giving, caring, loquacious, sister, daughter, and al- around good person. She was perfect for Markus
* Markus York: K-9 Secret Service Agent, survivor of brutal attack, in hiding, quiet, back story impacts his present, team player, more than he realizes and perfect for Cassidy.
* Ghost: K-9 partner of Markus, made me smile, smarter at times than his partner, stole the story from time to time, loved his part in this book.
* The Morgans: big fun-loving, talkative, intrusive family that explained why Cassidy was as she was.
* The writing: I loved the way it made me feel, care and want to read more
* That this was a standalone story
* The men mentioned in the book that must have been part of previous stories in the series…would love to know more about them all.
* That there were mysteries to solve and bad guys to catch
* In a way…being able to empathize with one of the bad guys…could definitely see why he did what he did though it was wrong.
* How the bad guys were caught
* That the H/h were both imperfect but perfect in their own right ~ Really liked this couple!
* All of it really except…

What I didn’t like:
* The bad guys…especially one of them…what a creep!
* Knowing that there are people out there willing to do evil things for money
* Hugh – the ex-fiancé of Cassidy – what a creep and spineless guy!

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Definitely!

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing-Amara ~ This is my honest review.
