Never Say Never

A Sniper 1 Security Novel: Sniper 1 Security, Book 2

By: Nicole Edwards

Narrated by: Steve Rogers, Jay Crow, Julian Durant

Ryan Trexler has devoted his entire life to his family's security business. And now that he's slated to take over the reins of the company, RT knows his life is only going to get more complicated. Add in the fact that he's lusting over one of the men who works for him, and RT realizes that there are some seriously tough times ahead.

Zachariah Tavoularis - nicknamed Z - has been employed by Sniper 1 Security for a decade. Despite being known as the most loyal enforcer outside of family, Z also has a reputation for being quite the playboy, though that was based more on rumor than fact. When an assignment comes up that forces the two of them to work together, Z knows it's time to show RT he's not the man everyone thinks he is.

Can they complete the mission despite the fact that it puts them in a tenuous situation, bringing them closer than either of them ever expected? And will Z allow RT to convince him that they can never be together, no matter how much they both want it?

Wishy Washy Hero makes it frustrating

This book was a tad frustrating. It featured Ryan Trexler "RT" works as 2nd in command in his family’s security business. One of his employees, Zachariah Tavoularis "Z" has caught his eye, but RT learned the hard way that employer-employee relationships lead to disaster in the work place when they don't work out. So RT has chosen to crush on Z from a far until an undercover op required them to pose a couple.

The narration was good but couldn't save this story. It was obvious that RT liked Z and vice versa. But I also know that work place relationships seldom remains professional when the relationship ends. It's dicey and so I understand RT's wishy-washy attitude about Z. He is risking a lot and there is a lot to lose. I did enjoy their chemistry but they were terrible law enforcement officers. AWFUL. Very unobservant. The mystery and romance aspects didn't mesh well for me. I think I expected more so I was underwhelmed by both the mystery AND the love story

It surprised me...it really did...

Any additional comments?

Didn't listen to the first one, Nicole, but I am considering it. I am guessing I don't have to to have enjoyed this one as much as I did. Dear Listener, I liked it...the 5 stars are for the fact that I'm a sucker for alpha gay men love stories. And thank God they were openly gay from the start. As I have shared in other reviews, it gets old listening to this back and forth with trying to figure out if they should, or shouldn't, could or couldn't..this, admittedly, had the same element, which frustrated me at times, but I am just more patient with openly gay males I suppose...although I revel in joy when straight men come into the light of gay love...I'm blathering...take the time to listen...I liked it.

Why 3 narrators? Very confusing.

The story was enjoyable enough though I would have liked more plot/action or suspense. While the 3 narrators were good, I did not see the necessity for the third guy since this isn't a menage and the 3 narrators weren't all that distinctive. They are also not narrators I'm familiar with so I had a hard time telling who was speaking and who was doing the narrative portions.

A waste of audio production money, IMO. Two narrators would have been great, if their voices sounded different.

Good story. Good narration.

Another action romance with tough guys trying to save the universe. Plenty of writing tropes in this story, but still entertaining.

love it

No matter how many times in listen. i love this book. cant wait for the next one.
