Do or Die

Reluctant Heroes, Book 1

De: Suzanne Brockmann

Narrado por: Patrick Lawlor, Melanie Ewbank

Suzanne Brockmann's seamless blend of heroic military action and intense passion inspired USA Today to call her "a superstar of romantic suspense" - and for years her award-winning Troubleshooters audiobooks have been must-listens for fans of sizzling stories of action and adventure. Now the New York Times best-selling author shoots to thrill again with Do or Die, an electrifying new audiobooks that is certain to win Brockmann new listeners and delight devotees.

Navy SEAL Ian Dunn went rogue in a big way when he turned his talents to a lawless life of jewel heists and con jobs - or so the world has been led to believe. In reality, the former Special Ops warrior is still fighting for good, leading a small band of freelance covert operatives who take care of high-stakes business in highly unofficial ways. That makes Ian the hands-down choice when the US government must breach a heavily guarded embassy and rescue a pair of children kidnapped by their own father, a sinister foreign national willing to turn his kids into casualties. Shockingly, Ian passes on the mission for reasons he will not - or cannot - reveal.

But saying no is not an option - especially not for Phoebe Kruger, Ian's beautiful and unexpectedly brash new attorney. Determined to see the abducted children set free, Phoebe not only gets Ian on board but insists on riding shotgun on his Mission: Impossible - style operation, whether he likes it or not.

Though Phoebe has a valuable knack for getting out of tight spots, there's no denying the intensely intimate feelings growing between Ian and Phoebe as the team gears up for combat. But these are feelings they both must fight to control as they face an array of cold-blooded adversaries, including a vindictive Mob boss who's got Ian at the top of his hit list and a wealthy psychopath who loves murder as much as he loves money. As they dodge death squads and play lethal games of deception, Ian and Phoebe will do whatever it takes to save the innocent and vanquish the guilty - or die trying.

Reseñas de la Crítica

" Do or Die will captivate readers with its intense, action-filled plot, alpha-and-a-half hero, and his smart, perfect-for-him heroine, as well as secondary characters who contribute pathos and humor." ( Kirkus Reviews)

"Brockmann leaves the reader breathless.... The sex is great, the action nonstop; and the dialogue between Ian and Phoebe is some of Rita Award–winning Brockmann’s best." ( Booklist)

Great Story

I didn't really mind Melanie's reading parts, but Patrick should have done the whole book. He was more interesting to listen to.

Long

This took a long time to get through. The male narrator didn't really seem necessary. The female narrator did a better job.
At points in the story I felt like key explanations were being left out, but I did love the characters.

great story

loved how it all tied together with the other series. is great as a stand alone. all characters well developed and draw you into the story.

Get on with it

Would you try another book from Suzanne Brockmann and/or Patrick Lawlor and Melanie Ewbank ?

Yes

What was most disappointing about Suzanne Brockmann’s story?

The story was predictable and drug on forever. I did like the characters, it had the base for a good story but just took too long to get to the end. I am from Sarasota and loved knowing where they were in the story but I hate to say it, that was about it. I have read other books by Suzanne and loved them. This one just got no where fast.

Which character – as performed by Patrick Lawlor and Melanie Ewbank – was your favorite?

Goth FBI agent. She was cool. I have already forgotten most of the names in the book.

Did Do or Die inspire you to do anything?

Get a different book.

Not quite so graphic sex.

Good story. Sex chapters were not so graphic. The word fuck was used appropriately. Thanks!
