Publisher’s Synopsis:
FBI Special Agent Bree Adams has a personal secret, something she has managed to keep hidden for the past 10 years-at least she always thought so…But a chance encounter on a train, and whispered words of chilling consequence change everything. Is the truth about to come out or is someone playing with her mind and her life?
Nathan Bishop knew Bree when she was a street kid like him. Their dark past once put him in her debt, and he had to pay up. The last thing he wants to do is help her again. He has a new life now-a life he could lose with one wrong move. But the beautiful Bree is desperate-how can he walk away?
To get to the truth, protect innocent lives and their own, they’ll have to fight their way through the past, as danger stalks their every move, and heartbreaking choices must be made.
Point of view:
3rd Person. Alternating between Bree & Nathan.
Rellim’s Audiobook Review:
This is book 2 in Barbara Freethy’s Off The Grid: FBI Series. While it stands well on it’s own, Bree is introduced in book 1, Perilous Trust. Series is best enjoyed in order.
While she didn’t have a huge part, I was already looking forward to more Bree after Perilous Trust. Freethy didn’t disappoint. Nathan and Bree are childhood friends who both were interested, but nothing ever came of it at the time. Parting left them both with some hard feelings and they’re surprised to find themselves together again.
Nathan is uncle to a girl who witnesses the abduction of her friend. Bree is with the FBI and there to investigate. Little do they know that they’re connected to the case closer than they could ever imagine. I don’t want to spoil anything…
I loved this because, while I sometimes guessed correctly, Freethy did a great job of surprising me with all the twists and turns in the story. I enjoyed the pacing of both the suspense and the romance. She has this way of weaving them together so the emphasis is nearly equal and both aspects are integral to the other.
I’m looking forward to Wyatt’s book, Desperate Play.
Narration:
Amy McFadden at the helm again and does a wonderful job of bringing these characters to life. Bree is so strong, yet sometimes vulnerable – and McFadden’s performance really brings that through. I enjoyed her voices for Nathan as well as all the secondary characters. Great listen.
Content Note (contains spoilers):
