Publisher's summary

My name is Lloyd Ledbetter and I am the best lawyer New York criminals can buy. My obsession to detail is their saving grace. I'm focused, determined and one-track minded. Nursing my broken heart for the last few months, I've stayed away from anything that could resemble a relationship.

Until Luke Gunner.

My name is Luke Gunner and I'm the best money launderer criminals can buy. With an IQ reaching the status of genius, I can practically make money without breaking a sweat. I'm fun, independent and a lover of life. Settling down was never a priority especially when I had so many options laid out in front of me.

Until Lloyd Ledbetter.

Lloyd’s hea

I was so happy to see Lloyd get a book. We met him in the last book and he got jilted out of a relationship he wanted even knowing it wasn’t quite right for him. Luke is a bit of a criminal who comes to Lloyd when he is framed for a crime he didn’t commit. Luke and Lloyd have instant chemistry and Lloyd May have just met his match. This book was fun and had some mystery and suspense to it. Joel Leslie did an outstanding job narrating this steamy book.

Love it!

Know in the first story I didn't like Lloyd in the beginning but near the end of the story I want his story. So I and so happy about Luke and Lloyd's story. I just love how Joel Leslie betrays the characters and gives life to this whole entire story. He made me fall in love with Lloyd and Luke. Just amazing!

Sweet heat

It wrapped up too abruptly for me, but I relished the ride. I laughed with and loved both main characters. They were so different, but very similar. The bathroom lecture left me roflmao. I enjoyed the conclusion. Lloyd's stiff upper lip act was beyond attractive, and Luke penetrated that veneer quickly and it made me giddy. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator captured the essence of these men and took it a step above. Fantastic job.

I could listen to Joel Leslie read ANYTHING (everything!)

Oh my hotness... I swear every time I listen to Joel Leslie, he gets more sultry. His voice flows, entices you to listen just a few more minutes. He brings Lloyd & Luke to life, bringing out their unique personalities.

This is my favorite Andrea Smith/Eva LeNoir book to date! While slightly annoying in Black Balled, Guns Blazing brings Lloyd to life. We get to see the man behind the submissive. Luke Gunner. Mmmm... how I'd like to keep him! He picks Lloyd up and is determined to never put him back. The chemistry is off the charts and then they added Joel Leslie (yes, I'm fan girling, lol).
I've listened to this twice and will probably go back again.

Fast and interesting

I came for Joel Leslie's narrations and found a very good story. I don't think the title does it justice, There is a crime and mystery to be solved and a refreshing backstory. Our main characters are both so strong minded the mini battles they have are amusing. They are sexy and hot together for sure so you get a full ride. Worth the buy or the credit.

You just thought you knew Lloyd....

When introduced to Lloyd in Black Balled we are given only Larson and Troy's impression of Lloyd. He is a submissive. He is loyal and he works at a prestigious law firm. He has an unrequited love for Larson. All of those things are true. Yet what we did not know is he is badass criminal defense attorney. Larson led us to believe he did little more than grunt work and investigation at the firm. Instead he is the guy that when you see him on the news you think if I ever get arrested I want that guy to defend me. He is submissive, but only sexually. He is cocky and confident professionally. Lots of people are dominant at work but prefer to be submissive sexually because it allows them to decompress from making all of the decisions and stress. Lloyd's error was not in being submissive. It was in not clearly outlining the relationship between him and Larson. I think he thought they were on the same page when they really weren't. Sad really.

I stated all of the above so you would know how awesome it is going to be to listen to Luke meet Lloyd and see Lloyd through his eyes instead. Luke is a certified genius. He is a cocksure alpha who knows immediately that he is going to make Lloyd his. He is exactly what Lloyd needs. This story was funny, suspenseful and romantic. There are a few cameos of Larson and Troy in this book. It led me to believe that maybe Larson really did care about Lloyd, but just not in the way Lloyd needed. Larson found his other half in Troy--they fit because they are the same. Luke and Lloyd fit together because they are more opposites and they compliment each other.

The narration was excellent. Joel Leslie does an awesome job narrating. He did many different voices for this book.

This could be read as a stand alone but I think it is more interesting having read Black Balled first. Highly recommend this book and this series.

Wow

The narrator is brilliant!! Absolutely brilliant!! The authors did a wonderful job of adding different elements to the story as the characters learn each other and lean out of their norm... would definitely recommend.

This duo is unstoppable

What made the experience of listening to Guns Blazing the most enjoyable?

These two authors can weave a story full of suspense, steam, and mix in romance like no others. As coauthors they knock it put of the park! Wow!

Fantastic Story & Audible Listen🎧 Smoking🔥Hot❣️

I loved this book, it is well written and contains interesting and original storylines that are a perfect blend of drama, angst, humor, mystery, suspense and hot romance. The characters are amazing, Lloyd was first introduced in Black Balled, he was Larsen’s lawyer and lover. I am not going to lie, he came off a bit like a dick in that book and I was not sure what to think about him. I am happy to say the authors really did him justice in this book. Is he still a bit of a dick, maybe, but a likable one. He has a good heart, looks out for his own, gives it all he's got. His anal retentiveness and OCD is over the top and I just loved how Luke handled it, the back and forth banter was hysterical. Speaking of Luke Gunner, the swoon worthy Alpha male who came into his office like a bulldozer, he hides his questionable career behind a legit business and deals with some shady characters. One of whom is setting him up, he needs a good criminal lawyer and heard Lloyd Ledbetter is that man. And for him he turned out to be more than a good lawyer. While Lloyd likes to be a sub in a relationship he is the opposite when it comes to his job, he goes guns blazing into case, gets the ball rolling for the investigation and gets in deep with the bad guys. I loved the twists and turns of this story, also loved the hot and steamy moments and the funny ones, Lloyds thoughts about the motorcycle ride, before during and after, his inner monologue had me laughing out loud. I highly recommend this great story, it is enjoyable and entertaining. It will take you to the edge of your seat at time, fanning yourself other times and will definitely put a smile on your face. Andrea Smith and Eva LeNoir, thank you for another great and entertaining story.

I listened to the Audible edition, Joel Leslie is a terrific narrator and voice performer. He brings the characters to life, gives each their own unique sound making it easy to follow the characters and story. I loved his take on Lloyd, he sounded like a stuffy lawyer at times, his Luke sounded gruff and perfectly alpha. Joel Leslie is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen🎧
