Ben Rider and Nikolas Mikkelsen learn that danger comes in all shapes and sizes and often in places you least expect it. Nikolas' dark past calls to him, inexorably dragging him back into its seductive embrace.
While he goes on an errand of mercy to Russia, Ben travels to Denmark to learn Nikolas's language. Convinced Russia's vastness will swallow Nikolas, Ben doesn't see the enemy much closer to home. Thinking he has lost Nikolas, Ben then makes a terrible decision that threatens to destroy everything they have together.
Focused on this very personal horror, bound by a new level of commitment, they have no idea that a greater threat is coming. And when it arrives, it changes everything - even the definition of commitment.

Each book has a good pace and builds on events from the previous book as time progresses through the 14 years Ben & Nickolas are together, I was taken on a roller coaster ride of the best parts of an action/adventure movie, ran the full gamut of emotions and while the character development was subtle, it was well written and builds a relationship with a solid foundation that can withstand any force thrown its way.
Despite certain elements of some of the books not being to my liking, I was completely emersed in the stories, entertained from beginning to end and will definitely look for more from this author in the future.
*** My comments contain spoilers ***
📖 Story comment: Conscious Decisions of the Heart: I liked the idea of Ben learning Danish while Nik went to Russia but elements of the plot are a little unrealistic, given the "skills and mental fortitude" both men possess and I'm not sure anyone could experience being swept up in a Tsunami, handcuffed to someone else and not sustain significant injuries to the arm joints. There's also way too much s*x in this book for me, but hey - it's entertainment and I was entertained.
🎧 Narrator comment: I enjoyed Gary Furlong's narration, he suits the characters, has good cadence, inflections and intonations and it's easy to distinguish the characters from each other. Overall an enjoyable performance and he bought the characters of the book to life

Note to self ... the lack of lube drove me nuts ... 9 books and only one instance of "gun oil" to ease the way?

This story is still heavy on the personal relationship between Ben and Nikolas, but I appreciated that it had significantly more action in it. I also liked that we get Nikolas’ perspective as well. I felt like I understood him better and appreciated learning his motivations. There are several distinct sections to the book, each bringing a greater understanding and depth to the relationship but in sometimes devastating ways.
Again I struggle to share what I enjoyed so much about the book without spoiling it for other readers. Wiltshire has this way of keeping the reader on an emotional roller coaster of highs and lows, victories and losses, laughter and tears – because that’s what she puts her characters through and I felt deeply invested in them.
While the steamy scenes were definitely hot, I struggled a little with kinky that sometimes bordered on dysfunctional. However, in the end it felt like Nikolas and Ben were trying to work through becoming better individuals as well as a team. So that “missing the mark” wasn’t for the sake of dragging things out, but the path they traveled to get to where they needed to be.
And of course, the humor. There were so many laugh out loud moments. Not only from our main couple – but Squeezy and Kate as well. Who I hope will continue to be in future books because I just adore them as secondary characters. Squeezy’s names for ops & their participants is particularly hilarious.
I’m looking forward to starting The Bridge of Silver Wings later this week.
Note: I would encourage listeners to check out content/trigger warnings for the book. There are a few in here that are fairly descriptive.
Narration:
Gary Furlong. I feel like my comments on him are repetitive. The fact is he is an amazingly talented narrator who does such a good job of immersing the listener in the story and characters that it’s hard to push pause. His delivery, accents, emotions, and transitions are so smooth and flawless that it’s hard to remember that it’s a single person.
I received a free copy of this audiobook from Decent Fellows Press and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
