Missing in Action

By: Kate Canterbary

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Jacob Morgan, Christian Fox, Lucy Rivers

Length: 7 hrs and 21 mins

Publisher's summary

Former Navy SEAL turned Covert Agent Wes Halsted spent his days - and weeks and months - being someone else. But with his cover blown and his injuries requiring months of recuperation, he must learn how to be himself again.

Only...he'd rather save his issues for another day and get to know a stressed-out, suited-up businessman instead.

Tom Esbeck has everything under control. Meal plans, workout plans, project plans, five-year plans. A plan for everything and everything according to plan.

Except there's no plan for a surprise - and shirtless - encounter with the built-for-sin spy he'd crushed on years ago.

But crushes - and spies - burn out fast.

Missing in Action is a steamy full-length contemporary gay stand-alone romance with strong ties to the Walsh series.

Performed by Teddy Hamilton as Wes Halsted and Jacob Morgan as Tom Esbeck, with brief appearances by Christian Fox as Will Halsted and Lucy Rivers as Shannon Walsh.

Produced by One Night Stand Studios.

Perfection from Teddy & Jacob!

- Plot - Fans of the Walsh Associates crew are in for a treat with this glimpse into the private life of Tom, Shannon’s assistant turned Managing Director of Operations. We discover the history behind Tom’s quirks and need for control. We also take a deep dive into Wes’ Navy SEAL psyche. The progression of their relationship is one of the sweetest I’ve read. The personal growth of both characters and their journey toward a HEA is heartwarming. Plus: although secondary in this title, the Walshes bring plenty of the shenanigans we know and love!

- Narration - Jacob and Teddy are newcomers to Canterbary’s tales and they fit right in. Jacob’s masterful comedic timing is *chef’s kiss* and guarantees you’ll be laughing out loud. Teddy is perfectly matched with Wes’ sarcasm and laid back attitude. The dynamic duo of MM audio, you’ll enjoy every moment of their passionate, playful performance. In a special treat with one chapter each, Christian Fox and Lucy Rivers return as Will and Shannon, offering advice and support to our heroes.

- The Heat - My first Canterbary MM, I was curious how she would approach intimacy. In their first scene, I expected more prep, but overall, the passion was genuine, with plenty of heat. This couple’s dirty talk game is strong: “I want you to jog your hot (bleep) up the stairs, get rid of your clothes and decide where you want to (bleep).” - Wes. Don’t worry- the tenderness isn’t lacking in any way.

- Style - As usual, Ms. Canterbary knows what we want and she gives it to us, including thorough character development, a complete plot progression and plenty of playful banter. You’ll be transported into the story as the vivid details play like a movie in your head. Another gem in Ms. Canterbary’s catalog, I’m looking forward to more of her MM in the future.

- Memorable Quote - "There we were. Laughing and (bleep) and (bleep) and holding each other like this, this was the only way we'd ever have sex again." -Wes

Good story!💜

This was a good story. In one way I was a little disappointed
that it’s wasn’t as military as I thought it was supposed to be. In another way I was very pleasantly surprised (because clearly I didn’t read the blurb correctly lol) that this was a MM gay romance.
I enjoyed the storyline overall but felt it lacked the WOW factor but I don’t know why exactly.
The narration was absolutely fantastic, the performance by all the narrators was amazing.
This is a standalone with an HEA.

Sisters Spotlight 💜

I love, love, love these boys!

Sometimes it takes a few chapters to get hooked by a story, to become invested in the characters, to even decide if I will like the book at all. Not so with this one. I was in love with these men and rooting for them from their very introduction!

I always enjoy the narration of Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan (by whatever name he uses), but in this story Jacob stole the show for me. With his ability to portray strength in vulnerability, optimism through fear, and always the humor, he really brought these characters to life. I could see these men while I listened. My highest compliment for writing and narration. Excellent! Five stars.

Kate Canterbary is a new author to me. I will definitely look for more books by this author.

This one easily makes it onto my top ten favorites list!

fantastic story

I loved everything about this book and the narrorators were awesome as usual. Looking forward to what comes next!

Perfection!

I loved this book! I’m not exactly sure what I was expecting when I jumped it but I quickly got swept up in the story of Wes and Tom. While they are both struggling with their own separate issues they come together perfectly as a couple.
This cast of narrators did an amazing job and were so much fun to listen to.

Perfect, all around

How can you go wrong with a dynamite cadre of narrators. As it’s been said, before each one of these guys could read the phonebook and it would have us melting. The Story is wonderful. Finally, it would be great if Ms. Canterbury would bring us more in the MM genre. Well done!

More, please!

A real kicker of a beginning and the book went on to keep me enthralled. I want more, a series please.

All My FAVs

Enjoyed listening. I listen to a lot of audio books and I must say Jacob Morgan is my all time favorite. I wish there was more to listen to in LGBTQ Christian Fox and Teddy Hamilton sound

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Just loved this audio. The narration was perfect. Found Kate Canterbary’s books starting with the Walsh series so it was so nice to hear Lucy Rivers and Christian Fox reprise their roles as Shannon and Will. Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan were amazing as Wes and Tom. I just love Kate’s books; her writing style, her characters are so relatable and down-to-earth, like they’d be your friends if they were flesh-and-blood people. Definitely worth a credit!

Nothing missing from this book!

I love this team of narrators paired with this author. Wes and Tom are couple goals! Definitely one for the re-listen pile! The interaction between Wes and Tom is fantastic in the book and enhanced in the audio.
