Overall very good

This was a great suspense story, I enjoyed it a lot but the heroine forgave the hero too easily. She should've made him suffer at least a little bit!

Great narration

This book has a lot of action and intrigue intertwined with enough romance to satisfy everyone's taste. The narrator is great.

Redemption River

Redemption River is book 1 in the Men of Mercy series by Lindsay Cross. Great book. Plenty of Action, suspense, unexpected turns and of course, romance! I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Narration by Aiden Snow was perfection as always. Aiden had the deepest sexiest seductive voice ever. He always brings you right into the story from his first spoken word and never lets go.

Ho-hum book and worse narration..

Theres 2 types of books that Ive read again and again: 1) either the hero or heroine see the other kissing someone else and takes off for years, only to come back and find out they were wrong about what really happened, and 2) someone dies while on an op and theres guilt, guilt and more guilt. Both Hunter and his brother Ranger wish they had died instead of the one who did (sorry, no spoilers here.) Really? This book had both kinds of stories.

And, of course, Evie just had to have her TSTL moment. She jumped to conclusions, just like Hunter did, and she took off to meet Marcus, ALONE. And she was scared to death of him. At 80% she still hadnt really gotten any backbone and was always trembling from fear of something.

I did like Hunters team but the narration was so bad I dont think I want to listen to the next book in this series, although I really did like Ranger and hes the next book, but

Even though this was kind of an alright storyline, it was set in Mississippi and the narrator made everyone sound like ignorant hillbillies. And the MRG (Mississippi Revolutionary Group) didnt make any sense to me. They voted on whether or not to (supposedly) run drugs for Marcus, while Evie was dead-set against it the others argued about the one hundred dollars it would bring. Also, Evies grandfather was kind of crazy and her mother was sleeping with.. (no spoilers again.) Marcus was just crazy in his thinking and I couldnt wait for Hunter to kill the sheriff, and hopefully Marcus, too.

There was some explicit sex but once Hunter mentioned he was going to spank Evie I was turned off and couldnt wait for this book to end, all the while hoping he wouldnt actually spank her before the story was over.
