About this listen

Is he her last chance at freedom?

Jake Collins—former Navy SEAL turned FBI agent—lives to see justice served, even if it means bending the rules. When Jake goes undercover to catch a brutal kingpin, he must decide if he can use the man’s daughter against him, despite the fact that she might be the woman of his dreams. Rachael Deal is desperate to escape the small town her cruel father rules with an iron fist. She’s learned she can’t trust any man who works for her father, but deep down she thinks that the new guy Jake just might be different. Will Jake be the man to help her stand up against her abusers, a protector who will defend her in any way he can?

As Rachael and Jake form a love like no other, the stakes become life and death. When Rachael’s father learns of her betrayal, he will stop at nothing to keep his daughter quiet, even if it means silencing her forever. Is Rachael destined to die before she ever had a chance to really live?

More than Love is the first book in the Watchdog Security Series. If you like SEAL bodyguards, thrilling romance, faithful dogs as loyal and brave as their keepers, and stories of women becoming all they can be, you’ll love the men of Watchdog Security.

Awesome romantic suspense book

I thoroughly enjoyed More than Love which is the first novel in the Watchdog Security series. I read and listened to this book, and it was great both ways! The story was very intriguing., and I couldn’t put it down. Jake is an undercover FBI agent who was sent to find out what I’d really going on in the town of Ross. He never expected to fall in love with the chief suspect’s daughter. Olivia Michaels did an excellent job with the characters too. The story was romantic, sexy, and suspenseful ! I can’t wait to see what is next for the Watchdog agency!

Beautiful Love Story

Jake & Rachel's story is Beautiful & Amazing!! It had me from Chapter 1. It's got Spice, Action and the way Olivia wrote the conclusion is Brilliant!!

My favorite quote from this book is "You disgusting, narcissist freak."

Loved Jake and Olivia's story

I loved Jake and Olivia's story. Such Devotion from swoonworthy Jake as he vows to protect Rachael at all cost....sigh...some of the things he says to her. And Rachael finds her strength again from his love and support after being through so much. Secrets are exposed as action, suspense, and mystery mount as these two fight... and fight hard for their HEA. The narration is terrific. I can't wait to listen to book two.

Awesome Romantic Suspense

Olivia Michaels’ world-building is amazing, she sets the scene for listeners without slowing the pace of the story. More Than Love is an edge-of-your-seat, chilling suspense.

Joe Arden and former military/agency heroes go together like coffee & donuts. His performance as the compassionate, gruff, cunning, vigilant hero is outstanding. Jo Raylan is a new-to-me narrator and I was captivated by her portrayal of Rachel. Jo’s emotionally-charged, sultry, and raw performance was fantastic. Joe & Jo’s styles, pacing, and characterizations complemented each other to create a visceral and spine-tingling listening experience.

An amazing story and just the beginning!!!

This is the first book I have listened to of Olivia Michaels and I know it will not be the last! As I have not read any of her books either, I went into the audible version unknown of her writings and I fell in love! Joe Arden and Jo Raylan do an incredible job as Jake and Rachel! Joe Arden is one of my favorite narrators because he brings out each and every character he speaks. Jo Raylan, I have never heard before but I hope to hear more of her with various stories because I am sure she can pull any of the off!
Jake and Rachel, an amazing story and a great beginning for the Watchdog Security series! Rachel grew up with a horrible father and he used intimidation on her to keep her in line and fearful of him and all that he knows. He actually killed her mother and had Rachel help bury a body, luckily Rachel didn’t know who it was.
Jake, well Jake knew he was in trouble as soon as he saw Rachel and he knew there was no sense in even trying to fight it. He willingly just let it happen and he is so glad that he did!

Good Start

This was my first Olivia Michaels book and the beginning of the Watchdog Security series. If you’re triggered by the mention of domestic violence then this one might not be the best fit. It does end in a HEA but Jake and Racheal do have a lot of issues to work through to get there. I was very intrigued from the beginning of this book how things would play out. Jake was not happy to have to go undercover on this assignment in a small town instead of going after terrorist. Racheal had lived through life with everything stacked against her. She needs to get out of the small town and out from under control of her father but the guy she trusted to help her could only be added to long list of abusers in her life. I enjoyed some the secondary characters quite a lot and can’t wait to see what the next book has in store. This book was interesting and I was waiting to see how they got to the HEA. The narrators did a good job with the characters.

Superb Story and Narration

This is the first audiobook in the new Watchdog Security series, and if this is anything to go by, it’s going to be one heck of a series. Not only is the hero of the story a former navy seal (anything to do with navy seals is pretty much my kryptonite), he’s also an FBI agent working undercover. And I love a good hidden identity romance. Pair that with the drama of the heroine being trapped in the same corrupt organization he’s working to bring down, and you’ve got yourself a very compelling story. The characters of Jake Collins and Rachael Deal were layered, complex, and relatable. And their love story was nothing short of captivating. There’s plenty of drama, intrigue, romance, and angst to keep anyone thoroughly entertained.

The narration by Joe Arden and Jo Raylon really brings this story to life. Joe Arden turns in an impassioned and emotional performance as Jake, flawlessly capturing the character’s inner turmoil and conflict as he tries to balance his growing feelings for Rachael with his sense of duty. And Jo Raylon’s voicing of Rachael is both passionate and poignant, effortlessly portraying the character’s strength as well as her vulnerability. Overall, both the story and the narration are superb, making this audiobook well worth a listen. I can’t wait to hear more from this series.

Great story!

This book put me through it. Just as I thought I had things figured out, a new twist was thrown at me. Well done Olivia! Jake definitely was NOT like most men and definitely not looked the men in Rachael’s life. She was scared to trust him and I don’t blame her. They both had immediate attraction for one another. I love romantic suspense. So it ticked off all of my boxes. This is the first book in the series and I can’t wait to work my way through more. There were a lot of characters, it’ll be interesting to see where the series goes. The narration was great as well. The female narrator is new to me. Jo Raylon did an amazing job with such an emotional character. Joe Arden, well he does this character justice!
