Publisher's Summary:

Cabe got out of the gun-for-hire business the hard way - by nearly dying. Except then his former boss calls in one last favor for one final job. The mission should be simple: get a message to a retired operative in Alaska. But it puts Cabe face-to-face with the one man he doesn't want to see and can never forget. Not after all the secrets and lies. Not after Brax almost killed him.

Brax Hughes lived hard and retired young to a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Well, that was the plan, but before he can hang up his sniper rifle, he has one last mission: win back Kyle Cabe. Brax wants another chance, wants to come clean, but after months of lying to Cabe, he knows he could face a bullet - or worse - when they meet again. And they will meet. Brax made sure of that.

With a storm moving in and someone lurking outside the cabin, time is running out. Brax needs to talk fast and keep his weapons ready. And his best weapon is the truth.

Fast Paced and Exciting Holiday Rom Suspense

Where does Stranded rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Probably middle of the group. I enjoyed this story- characters, setting, situation and much of the plot, but I also felt that it need a few more pages about the secondary character who was introduced and his actions never explained.

What other book might you compare Stranded to and why?

Lisa Henry and JA Rock's Playing the Fool trilogy for the antagonistic lovers who have some secrets and issues to work out. Same reason for why I'd compare it to Abigail Roux's Cut & Run series or SE Jakes' Hell or High Water series.

What does Dorian Bane bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Well I have read the book and I just experienced it with Dorian Bane's narration so I can say without a doubt that it really came to life in my imagination having him narrate. Many times when I do both and read it first, the narrator clashes with what I established in my own head about the characters and their voices. But not this time. I thought he did the characters and the story with intuition and skill.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Trapped By a Storm With the Man Who Shot Him and Killed Their Love

Any additional comments?

This is novella-length so it goes quickly.

I voluntarily accepted this book free.

Left without the means to move from somewhere

Would you listen to Stranded again? Why?

I would, and will. I loved the marriage of the written word and the narration.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Oh that's hard. I liked them both so much. Cabe was wounded and betrayed, his heart buried under a steel exterior he projects so it won't get broken again. Brax, the man that fell hard for Cabe and made the ultimate sacrifice to protect Cabe.

What does Dorian Bane bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

He gives both men dimension. There's only so much that can be conveyed through words on paper, Bane brings their personalities and pain to life perfectly.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The book was pretty much non stop start to finish, but I particularly liked the end, when Cabe went to claim what was his.
