About this listen

As the captain of Field County's ice rescue dive team, Callum Cook is driven to perfection. But when he meets new diver Louise "Lou" Sparks, all that hard-won order is obliterated in an instant. Lou is a hurricane. A walking disaster. And with her, he's never felt more alive... even if keeping her safe may just kill him. Lou's new to the Rockies, intent on escaping her controlling ex, and she's determined to make it on her own terms...no matter how tempting Callum may be. But when a routine training exercise unearths a body, Lou and Callum find themselves thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse with a killer who'll stop at nothing to silence Lou - and prove that not even her new Search and Rescue family can keep her safe forever.

Contains mature themes.

Feminist grade: A

Probably the least problematic romance novel with an alpha male. Loved the story and the characters.

A good listen

The story was good and had some unexpected twists. Left with a cliffhanger which I can find no reference to in future book synopsis!

one of my favorites

Excellent, original story. I cheered for all the characters, especially Lou(ise) and Callum (but not the bad guys, of course). I have repeatedly listened to this book - too many to count. I highly recommend this book. Mystery, rescue, lots of fun.

Keeps your interest

Several turns in the plot to keep you wanting to know how things are goin to turn out. I’m actually looking forward to book 2 to see what’s next in the lives of the characters

Great Narrator!

I’m not sure if it’s the narrator herself or the pairing of the writing with her voice, but this book was completely brought to life in all the best ways. I agree with the other reviews that it’s a little disappointing we don’t get the male POV, but once you’re aware it kind of works with this character that you never really know what is going on in his head. I will warn others that this book ends on the WORST kind of cliffhanger. I’m talking middle of a sentence and then the book just ends with the reader/listener not knowing what is happening. So if you don’t want to invest in the whole series (which I highly recommend you DO) don’t attempt.

Intrigue, Choices, Colorado...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Amazing intrigue and multiple story lines to follow -- once you figure them all out!

Lou Sparks was initially portrayed as a girl that was working on her own issues, own abilities and suddenly presented with so many options, so many fabulous men at her finger tips... which will she choose? Will she actually become proficient at the cold water diving? Will she figure out how to fall in line with her team lead's requests, behave so to speak? Now, a dead body which she discovers.

As we learn, Lou is determined, intelligent and relentless. She goes after what she wants and doesn't back down. More than that, she has a whole past that comes into focus ... her present right there in the Colorado Mountains, not left behind from the east coast.

This book gives the reader so many angles and so much of that "wait and see" that I couldn't stop reading.....

GREAT book.
