Everett: There are a ton of reasons why falling for my tiny, adorkable best friend is a terrible idea - starting with the body in my trunk.

I have other reasons - he still mourns his late husband. I’m way older, he’s a foot shorter, my tattoo shop is a front, he’s an assistant professor at UT.

Still, I can’t help but think we’d be perfect for each other if I didn’t kill people (very, very bad people) for a living.

Rafi: How the f--k did I not realize how hot my best friend is? Yeah, grief, or whatever, but were my eyes not working?

Silver fox, check. Tattooed hotness, check. Cuddles with me on Monday nights while we watch Australian melodramas, check. Says he’s not a good person but totally is, check.

New goal: Get Everett to stop looking at me like a grieving widower and start seeing me as someone he’d like to pin against the wall.

Now, if I only knew what was behind the door marked Portal to Nowhere...

Hard Target is a mercenary MM romance set in Austin and the Texas Hill Country. It features tattooed hotties, adorably complicated twinks, best friend antics, an illegally confiscated vineyard, and a team of killer do-gooders.

This is the first book in the Wrecked: Guardians series. Several characters from my series about a gym for combat vets, Wrecked, cross over in this series. While you don't need to listen to the Wrecked books to enjoy the slightly more nefarious Guardians, lots of people end up wanting all the juicy backstories.

I’ve never listened to Zane Daniels before but I want more. He does brilliant voices and accents with loads of emotion. I enjoyed the story (even though I found out mid way through the book that it’s actually a spin off series, which was annoying because there were a lot of characters/backstory that I was missing) some of it was a bit unbelievable but it made up for it in enjoyablity and that it actually made me laugh out loud a couple of times. I’ll be getting the next one it this series.

Zane Daniels!

I am notorious for being picky about my narration. Which is why when I started listening to Zane do one of my favorite books, I was thrilled by how well he does. Between the accents and the emotions and the bedroom talk, it all worked. Kelly is a master at dialogue and characterization, and Zane pulled that out for this audio in spades.

Excellent narration of one of my faves!

I read and listen to hundreds of books a year and am super happy when I find one that stands out as a five star in my mind! This book is action packed goodness! So many well-crafted characters. A plot that is interesting and well written. Great humor is woven in seamlessly through the story. Thankfully, humor is not forced or ridiculous, nor is it a cheesy rom/com. The focus on the romance aspect is equally and delicately balanced with the overarching plot. It is over and above a simple ‘MM Romance’ but way better than a simple ‘Action/Adventure’ This story is a refreshing escape into an action packed, loved-up, testosterone filled vacation! This is the first time I’ve heard Zane Daniels narration. He does a fantastic job distinguishing the multiple voices in the story. His light Arabic accent is awesome- not over the top or overdone. Totally with the price of a book and audiobook!!! It’s one I’ll be repeat reading/listening to.

Fantastic! Super fun and interesting!

The narrator is top notch, and the story is great - building over-the-top but still human characters that you can't help but love.

Stellar
