"One rule," he said against her lips.

"Anything makes you nervous, brings back bad memories--you tell me right away. You don't try to power through anything. We go as slow as you need."

Meet Zac Mackay. Military codename: Cyclone.

He's a widower, a protector, a hero.

And the person who could destroy Anne's life.

Doctor Anne Griffin is back in Oak Creek, Wyoming, only because she has no other options. Here, she was always the shy, stuttering girl, invisible to everyone.

Except Zac. The very reason she left in the first place.

Zac's years in Special Forces taught him survival skills, and he's created a company - Linear Tactical - to teach those skills to others, so they never have to live in fear.

Then why is Annie, the last person he'd ever want to hurt, afraid of him?

Zac's determined to wipe the fear from the eyes of the woman who has never been far from his mind. And fix the mistakes - his mistakes - that put that look there in the first place.

But a predator has set his sights on Annie. And now survival skills will become much more than lessons....

***

Cyclone is a stand-alone steamy romantic suspense, set in the Linear Tactical series. Meet the former military men of Linear Tactical, and the women who bring them to their knees: The strongest fall the hardest.

A "less-steamy" version of this book (same great story but with toned down language and sensual scenes) is available on Janie's website: janiecrouch.com. If you like the heat level of Janie's Harlequin Intrigue books, you'll love the "less-steamy" version of the Linear Tactical series!

Loved the story. The narrator did a great job with the story. Can’t wait to listen to the next book.

Cyclone of Emotion.

The only complaint I have is that Anne's dialogue in the story was a little lacking. She says, "Okay" a LOT. But I feel like this could have been overlooked by Anne's character being voiced by a female. The male narrator didn't do so well voicing Anne and her nervous hesitation.

Story is OK but the character of Anne is lacking

I really hated the set up. Anne and Zac hooked up in a drunken moment after her best friend and his wife died. He said something that forced Anne to leave Wyoming for 6 years. Zac’s late wife and son who had tragically died haunted both Anne and Zac. She came back to town as an ER physician and she sees Zac for the first time as one of her patients. He didn’t remember that night, so he didn’t understand why Anne was afraid of him. Once he learns about what happened, he does everything in his power to help Anne, not as a sort of apology and that he wanted her and missed her. While Anne and Zac were getting to know each other again and exorcising old ghosts, a serial rapist was terrorizing around the small Wyoming region.

Be aware there is an attempted rape on page. The suspense plot interesting and the romance between Anne and Zac was good. Anne felt like a weak character, but she wasn’t. She had social anxiety, fear of conflicts, and didn’t hold grudges. Zac was a genuinely good guy, who once he remembered what he did, he made an effort to make it right was Anne. She could have made him beg more, but that wouldn’t have been true to her characterization. I did not guess the villain and how the suspense plot unfolded made sense. Even though Cyclone had a rough beginning, I enjoyed the story and was ultimately rooting for Zac and Anne by the end.

Ultimately a Good Romantic Suspense

I had to stop after 40 minutes. The narrator was flat, emotionless, like a newscaster reading a news report with absolutely no emotional tie to the words he is reading. And the use of the same voice for both male and female perspectives made getting into the story even harder. No worries, I downloaded it on Kindle Unlimited and will likely love it in print, but don't waste your credit on this flat performance!!

Narrator was terrible

The story was great, but I struggled with the narration. It was flat and all the emotions sounded the same. I have 4 books in the series, so I like the writer. The narrations just sounds mechanically enhanced not human. Men should not do women's voices at all.

great story. narration so great

this was a very good story. good to great action. mild romance ( could be more dpicy) the narrator was great for a man's voice but terrible for a womans voice. all on all on a scale 7

this was the first book from author Janie Crouch the story was amazing. I don't know if everybody else saw the twist coming but I didn't LOL. this was also my first experience with Tom as a narrator, unfortunately I have developed some biases toward my favorite narrators and I couldn't help but think this would be an amazing story if it was written from Annie POV read by Andi arndt , Emma Wilder or even if any of my favorites gentleman Sebastian York Zach Weber Jason Clarke Joe Arden, what can I say I've been spoiled by them!!
