Her child is a pawn in a dangerous game…

He’s promised to bring the boy home

Harlow Pressley’s powerful ex-husband is using his custody of their son to intimidate her. Desperate, she enlists Grayson Montana and his security team to help her reclaim her child. Though her ex has eroded Harlow’s ability to trust, she instinctively believes in Grayson. But Grayson must suppress his powerful attraction to the determined beauty to help her. Harlow knows the threats to kill anyone she’s involved with aren’t empty. And that the secret she’s keeping about him could put them all in even more danger.

From Harlequin Romantic Suspense: Danger. Passion. Drama.

I love books with children in them. This was fun listening to Harlow growing into a beautiful butterfly with the help of her hot protector

Aww

The story is wonderful—no surprise, as this is one of my favorite authors. She consistently delivers compelling plots and strong character development. However, the narrator unfortunately ruins the entire listening experience.

Her delivery lacks any understanding of punctuation, pacing, or emotional nuance. It's as if the book is being read by an emotionless AI. Every line—whether it's filled with passion, fear, humor, or excitement—is read in the same flat, monotone voice. This made it nearly impossible to connect with the characters or feel immersed in the scenes.

I ended up DNF-ing the audiobook and switching to the ebook instead, just to make sense of the story. It’s such a shame, because the book itself deserves so much better.

Horrible Narration

The narrator of this story did not do it justice. every character has the same high pitched whiny voice. The plot looked interesting but the story was disappointing overall.

The story was decent and the characters could have been great. the narrator completely ruined it. It's like they're was absolutely no punctuation written in to the dialog. it could have been funny. I almost couldn't finish it because of the narration. it was painful...

The story was fine. And the narrators voice was ok, for Harlow (one of the main characters). But her performance needs work. Voices, especially for the men, were terrible. I won’t buy another book in this series if you use the same narrator.

Not a fan of the narrator

The narrator was AWFUL. She was monotone, didn’t adhere to punctuation, and did not alter her voice for characters making it nearly impossible to follow. She also pronounced “man” with such a whiny accent that it was grating. There is definitely an accent to other words like “sorry” that was prominent. The lack of a consistent accent made it stand out and was distracting. Hard to even focus on the story with the horrendous narration
