Description from the publisher:

Romance, lust, suspense, and uncensored scenes



Someone is stalking Sophie Cruz.  She doesn’t know who, and she doesn't know why. Growing up as a foster child, Sophie never really thought she’d find love, but police officer Nate and his family have taken her by surprise.  It seems romance is on the fast track until her stalker intervenes....



Nate is shot by an unknown assailant, and Sophie worries that she’s endangering his life as well as her own.  Should she leave him to keep him safe or confront this danger head on? 



Warning: These stories contain steamy scenes and are not suitable for all ages.  Listeners 18 years of age and older.

NATE is the second book in the Brothers in Blue series.  While this stands completely on its own, it is better to read them all and in the order of release.



This is a terrific, fast-paced, action-packed, suspense romance!  Though the stalker’s identity was too obvious (no red herrings to keep you guessing) and the economic status of the heroine (from unemployed art teacher to shop owner with an assistant in a few weeks), I still enjoyed the story.   I recommend suspending a little reality and experience the romance and suspense.



I would love to read (listen to) more of this series.  There is one more brother…. and two more sisters in the Baker family.



Narration:  The narrator, Lissa Blackwell, has a sweet melodic voice.  She does an admirable job of giving the different characters different voices, though I did wonder why Sophie had a southern twang to her voice when she was a “true Chicagoan.” 

The production quality needs work.  Bathrooms have wonderful acoustics – for singers working on practicing their projection.  As audiobook studios, they are echo chambers.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
