Publisher's summary

Alex Gentry doesn't scare easily. Working as an undercover FBI agent in the biker bar he and his brothers co-own, he hangs with deadly criminals in order to gather information. Danger is just part of the family business. But one thing has him terrified: his attraction to Madison Parker.

Madison is the cousin of Ramon Alonzo, son and second in command to a notorious drug lord Alex is trying to bust. Alex has befriended Ramon as part of his cover, and Madison has unknowingly become his informant. Falling for her could risk this case - and both their lives.

All Madison wants is to get her new bookstore business off the ground, and for her creepy cousin Ramon - to whom she's unfortunately indebted - to leave her alone. If she could only stop fantasizing about his mysterious new friend, Alex...

As the Alonzo cartel investigation heats up, so does their relationship. But will the secrets they're keeping tear them apart - or get them both killed?

Very good romance

This book was well written. It contained suspense and steam. The characters were well developed and I thought the epilogue was very clever. Looking forward to the next book.

Good story

First of all the narration was great! I have listened to other audible books narrated by Sebastian York and by Amy McFadden and enjoyed their narration.

There are mixed feelings on my part about this book and decided on a 4. The storyline was good but it was a slow start for me. The h, Madison, seemed more like an 18 year old in her actions and thought processes. Madison appeared naive and impulsive. For instance Nelson was going through her office papers late one night, and Madison was going to confront him. Alex stopped her. Another time she went into her uncle’s office late at night looking for information. No awareness of her surroundings, etc even knowing he was dangerous.

The characters were well developed and the story was easy to follow. I just couldn’t click with Madison. This is strictly my opinion and you as a reader may enjoy the audible book. This wasn’t one of those audible books I couldn’t stop listening to but one I could leave for a day and then listen for a short time. Not sure I will continue with this particular series.

I can't wait for the next one!

I really enjoyed this book. The twist at the end has me so excited for the next one. I have enjoyed all of Sandra Owen's books that I have read.

Fabulous story!!!

I really enjoyed the characters and storyline of this book. Can't wait to read the next in this series. Great narrative. The story brought the turmoil, lies, deceit, danger, mystery, a hot alpha male trio, a strong heroine and love together so well. Couldn't put it down.
Want to thank Sandra Qwens for a great Audible book and the hours of enjoyment. Please bring more than 2 to this series???

Very good Story. Fantastic Narration!

This was a great story. I really enjoyed every bit of it. I really liked Alex and Madison together. They made a great match and they had some great chemistry together. There was a little sex in the story which was perfect. It didn't take away from the from the actual story or the characters.

The story line and plot was great. I really liked the undercover FBI agent story. I enjoyed the three brothers very much and am looking forward to reading their books. Drug dealing, murder, undercover hot, badazz agents. What's not to enjoy.

As for the narration, it was fantastic. I love Sebastian York, he is fantastic! Amy McFadden did a great job too. I really enjoyed both of them very much!

I especially liked that this was NOT written in the first person.

Jack of Hearts:Aces & Eights, Book 1

The first of what I'm sure will be a great series. A touching love story entwined in a suspenseful FBI action story. The characters are very realistic, whether they're likable or not. The way the author entwined the family members & friends reels the readers in. Once in the author's talent keeps us interested &involved through out the rest of the story. I look forward to reading more by this talented author...
