I proposed on our first date.

She laughed and told me I was insane. Less than a day later, she said yes.

It was a whirlwind, but we were happy.

Until we got greedy and wanted a family.

It was a life I couldn't give her, not for lack of trying. Fertility just wasn't on our side. We sought out doctors and treatments. Spent money we didn't have. Lied to our families. Smiled for our friends. Put on a brave face for a world that didn't understand.

Finally, we were successful.

Until we were forced to bury our son.

We were left broken, battered, and destroyed.

They say love is in the details, but it was the details that ruined us.

This is the story of how I took back what had always been mine.

The retrieval of my wife and our family.

This is such a heart wrenching story; it took me on an emotional roller coaster. Parts of it made me laugh out loud. But dealt with serious issues. Narrators were excellent. Looking forward to listening to the next book!

Great story

Roman and Any are unexpectedly reunited two years after their traumatic divorce. misunderstandings are cleared up as they fight a battle to recover their stolen daughter. The only problem is that it ends in a cliffhange, but I'm starting book 2 straight away!

I really didn't know what to expect as I didn't read the blurb but someone told me, "I think it's about a couple that had a miscarriage". Imagine my surprise when it was not only so flatly about a couple who had lost a baby, but it was soooo much more.

The love between Elisabeth and Roman was PALPABLE. The alpha manly way that Roman takes his life and his woman back was hot AF. The. There is sooo much more with the side story with Clare. I just had no idea that I would be this sucked into this audio and so incredibly invested in the story. I didn't even want to pause for a review.

Do I even need to mention Jason, Maxine and Andi? We all know they are amazing, we all know they fail at nothing and all they do is win.

Woah

Really enjoyed. I liked the honesty of the characters. The ending left me wanting more.

Engaging

This is a different style of writing with more than 2 main characters in many ways. Roman was so hot and amazing. I could feel their pain which is a tribute to Aly's writing and the narration of Jason, Maxine and Andi. I am completely in love with this story like I am watching or living it. Must listen! Now immediately diving into Book 2!

I love this story!

This book was fantastic. Aly Martinez did a really good job of bringing us into the story. I felt everything to hilarity, actual laughing out loud to some really heartbreaking, crying in my cereal, kind of sadness.

Narrators were mostly really good:

It was an interesting way to narrate, though, I would have preferred Andi Arndt read all the female parts for this one. I have a hard time listening to Maxine MItchell


Jason Carpenter - 5stars
Andi Arndt -5 stars
Maxine Mitchell -3 stars -she's pretty whiny and she hitches a lot, it's difficult to listen. Luckily she didn't read enough to distract from the story

So good!

Yes, there's a dreaded cliffhanger (which I usually loathe) but this book is worth it. the narration was flawless, the story perfection. I utterly enjoyed every minute of this story and will happily one-click the next installment.

A cliff but it's worth it

Woah! Boy am I glad book 2 is available and I don't have to wait for it to come out yet after THAT cliffhanger!! Fantastic book and excellent narration! Always a fan of Andi Arndt & Maxine Mitchell, but Jason Carpenter is new to me. I'll be looking for more of his audios for sure! On to book 2 STAT!

So Good!

I have to say, this was not the plot I had imagined it would be but can I say WOW! The only thing I didn't like about the performance is when the male and female narrators would speak for the same character, specifically detective light. They made him sound completely different. But other than that small, tinsey wincey, unimportant blip, amazing!

what an unexpected surprise

If you could sum up Retrieval in three words, what would they be?

This is sad.

What did you like best about this story?

The love that Roman has for his (ex)wife.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The female narrators were awesome. I always like to hear Maxine Mitchell. However, the male narrator sounded like a computer. When he spoke , it felt so dull with no emotion. Reminds me of an automated operator.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not really.

Loved the story, hated the male narrator.
