About this listen
I had one job.
One responsibility.
Lust wasn't a distraction that I had time for, and love was even further off the table. My career was demanding and required my undivided attention which left little time for romance. But when my sister went missing
after meeting a guy from the same dating app as the beautiful way too young for me college student that I had been assigned to protect, everything changed.
Keeping Hannah safe was my top priority, along with finding my sister. But the closer Hannah and I got, the more clouded my vision became. She was as sweet as she was innocent and things needed to stay that way. The only problem was that in order to keep her safe she had to stay with me until the threat was handled.
Living in cramped quarters, I was up close and personal with all of the reasons why I couldnt get involved with Hannah. With chemistry so combustible it could set the world on fire, we knew we had to keep our distance. One wrong move could be fatal with her stalker constantly five steps ahead.

A psychopathic killer lurks in Miami’s shadows, snatching and murdering young auburn-haired women. Strangely, they are killed without trauma and left clad in frilly prom-style dresses. Miami’s crack homicide detective, Al Warner, is on the case, but the killer has left few clues. Why were these girls taken and then executed? Was he intent on killing redheads, or was there some other connection? And why were their bodies so carefully arranged in peaceful repose, wearing prom dresses?

Just north of Lake Okeechobee in central Florida, Brad Dolan’s Ford goes bad. He pulls in for repairs, finds a sack for the night, then goes out for a drink and maybe some action with the dice... All routine enough, except that Brad Dolan is no ordinary guy, and the town is Carterville, no ordinary town. It’s back-country: jukes fronting for gambling joints, bootleg whisky, sporting houses, cockfights—everything to take a man’s mind off his own troubles. Down here, Dolan finds out, a man can be rubber-hosed for buying a drink for a blonde who’s made a pass at him.

I wasn't dreaming of a white Christmas, nor were my troubles out of sight. I had a demanding job and pressing deadlines, which meant it was far from being a silent night. When I asked my grandma if I could stay in her cabin over the holiday, she was more than thrilled to have me back home. But she failed to mention the sexy handyman remodeling the house, or that he might not make it down the mountain with the snowstorm moving in.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Grayson Cole was my brother’s best friend. He was all of my firsts. Then he went away… Drew Harris was just a kid, a senior in high school, my best friend’s little sister. They said she was too young to know her feelings. I was too old to have them, so I left to join the military. Four years passed. Loss, injury, angry words I can never take back. I’m home, but I’m not the same. Neither is she.

Being the eldest son has always been a blessing and a curse. I was raised to be one thing and one thing only. A monster.

Of the family, the empire. Everything. I’m learning real fast that being the boss isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The first order of business was finding a new place to live.

Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have. Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

Intriguing Murder/Suspense/Romance
This is an audiobook that has violence, stalking, and murder which may serve as a trigger for some.
Hannah is a young college coed who has been receiving mysterious gifts, feels she is being watched, and discovers some of her personal items have been moved. Hannah’s best friend stays with her but is thrown out of the window. Max is a police detective assigned to solve the death of Hannah’s friend. In the meantime, he discovers that his sister is missing. The connection between his sister and Hannah’s mysterious watcher is a dating app!
The author, Samantha Baca, crafts a terrifying storyline that leaves the listener on the edge of their chair. The narrative is authentic and highly realistic! The dialogue between the characters is an authentic feeling as well. The anonymity of the dating app and online relationships is both terrifying and accurate. Her plot twists are well done, and her characters are fully developed. The difference in age between Hannah and Max is realistically presented through dialogue and reactions. The relationship between Hannah and Max was a bit quick to develop, but that is how trauma bonding works. so it is realistic.
The narrator, Marcus Barton, delivers an excellent performance. He effortlessly slips into each character and draws the listener deeper into the action while creating a strong connection with the characters. He speaks clearly with a well-paced delivery that is effective in highlighting suspense, emotions, and more.
This is a suspense-filled book that keeps the listener on the edge of their chair!

This series is going to be great!
Five Steps Ahead is book #1 in the Dark Shadows series. This story is full of suspense and intrigue, but check the trigger warnings as it deals with some uncomfortable subjects. Hannah is an NYU student that tries a dating app. When things go wrong, she ends up speaking with Detective Max Romano, the sexy Italian that is very protective of her. Sparks fly between them, but her stalker isn't easing up. We get suspense, age-gap, some humor with the side characters, angst, and smexy times! Loved, loved, loved this! Cannot wait for the rest of the series to come to audio!
The narration was fantastic. Marcus Barton is a new narrator to me, but he brought the broody Max, the naive Hannah, and all the other characters to life. Just brilliant. 5/5 stars

Quite the suspenseful romance!
My thoughts while listening to this book:
▪️I bet he's the bad guy!
▪️Nope, this guy is the bad guy.
▪️Ugh, never mind, he wasn't the bad guy.
▪️Ohh, wouldn't it be crazy if he was the bad guy?
▪️OMG here's a new guy we've never heard of! I bet he's the bad guy!
▪️Scratch that idea.
▪️I KNEW IT!
Hannah has a stalker and people she has had recent contact with have been murdered. Max, a detective with the NYPD, has decided he isn't letting Hannah out of his sight with all the creepy notes she's getting. Hannah and Max are getting close since she's agreed to stay with him while her apartment is considered a crime scene. Once Samantha goes back to her apartment, everything seems fine until she agrees to meet someone she has been talking to on an online dating site. Can Max save her now?
I love it when a suspense, thriller, or mystery can keep me guessing until I get super close to the end. And the big scene near the end was my favorite part! I love when an author can draw you into a story like this one. This is the first romantic suspense of Samantha Baca's I've read, and I have to say I love it as much as her rom coms!
This is my first book narrators by Marcus Barton and it looks like he's signed up for the rest of the trilogy. I'm looking forward to listening to him again in those!
THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF:You love some suspense with your romance, and it isn't super obvious who the bad guy is!
