Death and Destruction

The Death and Destruction Series, Book 1

By: Patricia Logan

Narrated by: Michael Pauley

Forced to go into witness protection, ATF Special Agent Thayne Wolfe is less than thrilled. The state's attorney needs him to testify against one of the most ruthless and notorious arms dealers in the world. Expecting boredom and lots of daytime television, he instead ends up with a ridiculous new job, a stupid new name, and the world's most annoying shadow. Jarrett Evans is tasked with keeping Wolfe alive long enough to put Mills Lang and his crew away for the rest of their miserable lives.

Jarrett Evans, former Marine, has always been a free spirit, doing the dirty work for Uncle Sam whenever and wherever he's needed. One of the best snipers in the world, Evans is at peace with the man he's become. That doesn't mean he's ever liked the cold-blooded killer who stares back at him from the mirror every day. The moment he meets pretty boy Thayne Wolfe, things start a slow change and redemption begins to sound possible.

Mills Lang, the world's most ruthless arms dealer, is little more than a serial killer in his own right. Rotting away in prison with nothing but time on his hands, Lang is determined to destroy the man he allowed into his inner circle. Thayne Wolfe will die in the most painful way, along with anyone he loves.

Great action and bodyguard to lover

Thayne Wolfe has been undercover for two years. Now he is out and finds a price on his head, being the only witness to the dangerous gun dealer and murderer Mills Lang. Instead of WITSEC, he is placed under the care of Jarret Evans a sniper, assassin, and bodyguard. Both men are not into relationships and very different from each other. They are also perfect for each other though they resist that pull.

I absolutely loved this story. It's not love at first sight. These guys bicker and fight like two roosters in a henhouse. It's fun. And the job Thayne is given while hidden? A hairstylist at Cut the Crap? Oh yes, this book is fun, and yet the storyline is full of drama, mystery, and intrigue. It kept me wanting more. The ending was perfect, and I want the next book now!

Michael Pauley did a great job narrating the book. Jared's southern accent was perfect and Thayne's voice was more put together which suited his personality. Pauley added his own flair to an already great story making it even better.
If you like drama, suspense, a touch of humor, some hot man-sex I highly recommend this.

Absolutely Spectacular!!

This is an absolutely spectacular story and an incredible listen! Love the storyline and the 2 MCs are wonderful! Two incredibly sexy alpha males thrown together when Jarrett is hired to protect ATF Thayne Wolfe. You can feel the chemistry sizzling between these two and when it finally explodes, WOW!! The narrator is magnificent and truly enhances the story. He has the ability to pull you right in and make you feel the characters and what they are going through. I can't wait to listen to the next one in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy of this audiobook.

Edge of your seat!

I really liked this book and the way the author brought the characters together. Once I got use to the way the narrator read through the book, I couldn't stop listening. Extremely hot!! I will definitely grab the next in the series to see what happens next!!

good story

I like the story line. This book lost stars for the excessive use of names in the dialog. it was distracting and annoying at times. The Narrator was good.

5*

5* I have to say hearing this series after reading has been a wonderful experience. Thank you Narrator for giving extra life to Thayne and Jarrett.

Death & Destruction

Book - While I haven't previously read this e-book I have read several others by Patricia Logan. This book was not bdsm like a lot of her others & I actually liked that it wasn't, I think that would have just been too much if it was. Anyways.. Thayne is an ATF agent who has to go into hiding before giving evidence against an arms dealer. Jarrett is an ex-marine who is tasked with protecting him. I really liked the story line / plot of this book. It had some good action written into it. I also liked that it took some time for the MC's to "fall in love". The thing I was really confused about is the initial profession they were given while in "witness protection", that was just silly and didn't really make sense to me, but it wasn't something that totally threw me off the book. And I really wish Noah would have survived and had his own book, that made me sad. I also thought the ending was a little odd too *what happened at the trial* And although this is technically a HEA I think... It's kind of not really since we will be following these characters into the next book.
Audio - Michal Pauley is Great. I've listened to a few other books he's narrated and overall he did a good job with this one.. He did a good job with the different voices and any time someone needed an accent/different language. I did have to rewind/re-listen in a few places after getting lost, there were a few spots that were a little too monotone for me to follow, which isn't a huge deal, or deal-breaker for me when it comes to audiobooks. The only other thing I have to say is that I only listened to the audio at this point I did have to go back and read the Blurb towards the beginning because I wasn't quite sure if the narrator was saying Jarod or Jarret it kind of sounded like he was going back n forth between both names? But I think I will just need to listen to this one again, or maybe just read the e-book to get the full feel of this book. I will also still be listening to the next book in this series to see where it goes.

Excellent narrator

A very exciting start to a new series. I love reckless macho men who can heat up the sheets with one another and take out the bad guys. Well, 1 out of 2 ain't bad. ;)

a nice story and a great performance

the story was actually nice...
I like Jared's character very much he's a mysterious character you're learning about him something new in every chapter.
wolf was a little problematic for me because if wolf is an undercover policeman so how can it be that is so afraid...
the character of wolf itself was good but it was a little bit illogical for me, although I do understand the dangerous situation he is in. maybe it was the only thing that bothered me because overall the book was good as always Michael was an amazing narrator!! because the book was written in a particular way Michael was emotional only when it was required. actually I think and I have to write it in almost all of my reviews that's Michael is one of the best narrators that to Audible have.
going to listen to the second book I do want to know how the relationship between the two characters ends... and I must say that's the antagonistic characters were fantastic the lawyer she was so selfish and so bad and disgusting.. i hated them all the way through!

LOVED IT!!!
