About this listen

Manny Ortega is a man without a country, and he has one woman to thank for it. She was his first and only true love, and when she left she took more than his heart - she took his life as he knew it. Hardened and honed as sharp as a knife by years as a Special Forces soldier and police detective, Manny is ready for a fresh start at his friend Ethan Garrett's security firm. But the past isn't ready to let him go.

Lily Campora never imagined what would happen to Manny after she walked away from him that night in the sultry Nicaraguan heat - or how he'd hated her for it every day since. Seventeen years later Lily knows everything, and she must put her fear of Manny's rage aside to beg for his help. His forgiveness may be too much to hope for.

Thrust into action on a mission that will transport them to a country rife with political turmoil and civil unrest, Manny and Lily must find a way to work together. And now, amid the dangerous beauty of a landscape reminiscent of Manny's homeland, passion will ignite once more.

Great story

Loved the story. This narrator is very different from the other one on all the other books in this series. I had a very hard time with his choices for the voices of the characters. On plus side at least I could tell when a different "scene " started.

another fun romantic adventure/thriller

Another in Gerard's fun series of heroic soldiers falling for strong women. Overly dramatic narration.

JJ

Series full of drama which was well written, the communication between romance characters in end of part 2 needs more from Lily’s perspective and time in between them meeting again, performance is good with most of book but just no on love scenes

Kept my Interest

This book has been my 2nd best of the series so far; perfect mix of love story & suspense. And, the narration was great.

Betrayed by Love?

Honorary Garrett, Manny Ortega lost everything as a young man because he trusted the wrong woman or so he thought. Seventeen years after being betrayed by love Manny on the cusp of a new life working for best friend Ethan at EDEN comes face to face with the woman he once loved and now hates with a passion.

Lily Campora already reeling from the knowledge that Manny wasn't killed in Nicaragua can't believe he thinks she betrayed him, doesn't know how to convince him she didn't. Now she must put her fear of Manny's rage aside to beg for his help.

What follows is an action packed race against time where Manny and his friends find themselves pawns in Sri Lanka's civil unrest. As Manny and Lily are forced to work together, passion rekindles, but questions remain.

If they survive can Manny let go of the past? Was he betrayed by love? If not can Lily convince him of her innocence? What do the bad guys really want? All these questions and more are answered in this action packed romance that I thoroughly enjoyed listening to over one very long night. So sad that the series is nearly over....

Looove the narration!

This entire series does action, suspense, adventure and romance really well. I especially enjoyed the narration in this one, Shannon Gunn did a great job of bringing every word to life! Also appreciate when words are said in the original language first :D

Worth the wait

The series is finally hitting its stride, as both the characters and the storyline kept me hooked. You really have to appreciate the detailed research the author entirely to for locations, background, and tools - it rea!ly gives an added dimension to the books.

This narrator needs a Valium.

The story was what I expected from Cindy Gerard, pretty good story line with a few things that are eye rolling over the top. But this narrator.....can we say over-acting? I get that they want some life breathed into the story, but this guy is cringe worthy sometimes. Really glad he only did this one book or I wouldn't have made it through the series.

Enjoyable read

I really like the Bodyguard series. This was a good book but probably one of my least favorites! It has a great story line but what bothered me the most was the narrator’s voice for Manny! I laughed so much during the love scenes because I couldn’t get the idea of Puss n boots, saying those lines, out of my head. The voice just didn’t fit Manny’s character. This may be better if you read it and don’t listen to it. That voice over really ruined it for me. He just wasn’t manly (Manny) enough for the strong male lead!
