Brenda Novak Book Club August selection

After a domestic violence marriage that ended in tragedy Elle has relocated to California as a bounty hunter. She finds herself on a case in Mendocino, California. There she finds herself working with a detective who is looking for the same guy she is and sparks fly in all forms. As the case takes a dramatic turn Elle finds herself at a crossroads in her personal and romantic life.

The story is great. I enjoyed the hunt for the bad guy and I enjoyed the slow burn romance. The author did a great job in keeping you guessing and interested in the story. There is a bit of spice towards the end but not much.

My complaint is with the audiobook. There was a female and male narrator which I thought great one for each main character. That is true BUT when say the female character is the lead of the chapter/section the female narrator reads both hers and the lead male lines and vice versa. What??? Why not have them stay in character the entire book. It threw my listening pleasure off drastically and was disappointing. I think if the narrators had stayed in character the entire book it would have been even better.

My rating is a 4.50 because I imagine that the audiobook narration is out of the authors control. It is not a reflection of the authors writing.

I highly recommend this book for fans of romantic suspense, police drama, and slow burn romance.
