Body Shot

An International Clandestine Enterprise Novel, Book 2

By: Amy Jarecki

Narrated by: Joel Froomkin

She has every right to feel venomous resentment....

Convicted of a murder she didn’t commit, sniper Henri Anderson suffers two years of hard time before she’s given a choice - accept an unknown assignment offered by a seedy foreign dignitary or head for home. The decision took all of two seconds. At least that’s what she thinks, until a mysterious Scottish man shows up and offers a deal sweet enough to tempt a saint.

But has the rugged, blue-eyed closer met his match?

Annoyed that ICE is wasting his time by sending him to Utah to recruit a talented soldier who has already turned them down, Secret Agent Mike Rose has no intention of failing. He’s a tough guy with more persuasion in his hard stare than most people manage with an oration. Disarmed by a woman who’s not only tenacious, she’s downright stunning, Mike tempts Henri with something even a hardened Delta Force sniper can’t refuse. And once she’s hooked, Mike thinks he’s done - he can go back to covert ops working alone.

But Henri isn’t a woman who’s easy to forget. And when she’s snared by the clutches of the very man who framed her for murder, the big Scot will sell his soul to save her.

Henrietta “Henri” Soaring-Eagle Anderson wants revenge on the terrorist who set her up BUT she is not sure she wants to work for ICE to get it. When Mike Rose comes with an offer she can’t say no to, well, the fireworks begin. There is chemistry between the two but also competitiveness. There is tenderness and respect. There is teamwork and sharing and caring and well…I enjoyed the book and think you will as well.

Loved this narration of a wonderful story!

Joel brought to life characters I loved.

I read this book before listening to the audiobook. The story still remains a favorite of mine. Heart racing, breath holding, fingers crossed! I was pulled into the danger and electric journey for Henri and Mike immediately. Her determination and honesty made her such a strong and compatible heroine for Mike who was just as determined and used to working more alone. Their attraction is instant but the job came first. Joel Froomkin's voices brought this story alive. The Scottish accents when Mike spoke or even thought, the Arabic, Icelandic, and so on. Loved it a lot.

Joel Froomkin is beyond talented

Hats off to an actor that can take on multiple accents and read them well.
I am glad I had the audio along with the book. Joel made the story take a life of its own. The characters of Mike Rose, Scotsman and Luke Fox, Aussie, jumped off the pages. He even made the voice of the older boss, Garth Moore, sound crusty and craggy, perfect for a crusty “retired” Marine.
This was a continuation of the ICE series, book two. You don’t have to read the first book to enjoy this one but you’ll get a bit more background of the clandestine ICE organization in “Hunt for Evil”. Be assured, there are no cliffhangers.
Body Shot follows Henrietta “Henri” Soaring-Eagle Anderson. She is of the Paiute Tribe, her mother being a Paiute.
She joined the army and soon was a part of a Delta Force CT unit.
Omar Fadli was an assassin who pinned Henri with the hit on the Iranian ambassador. (Joel’s middle eastern accent is spot on, too). All of her team were killed and she spent two years in prison on trumped up charges. She was released and made an offer to join an elite group of security consultants.
ICE wants her bad enough because she is one of the best snipers in the world. On a bet with Garth, Mike Rose goes to the states to convince Henri to join ICE.
Mike and Henri burn up the pages both in tracking the enemy and with each other. This was a good continuation of this series. I’m looking forward to reading about the Aussie, Luke Fox.

Fun Listen

The story was pretty trite, but still a super fun pace and good timing. The reader did well with the male voices, especially with all of the different accents, but his feminine voice was dreadful. Didn’t detract, but did make some scenes seem silly.

Wonderful surprise!

This is not my usual choice of book however after listening to several other books by Amy Jarecki, I listened to the sample and loved the narrator's voice.
I strongly recommend this series. Even if it's not your usual fare!
Personal Snit: I am very unhappy with Amazon's upcoming change on November 1st!!!!!
