About this listen
Jace Kaiser is a man without a country, without connection. His only loyalty is to the group who saved him, and the man who leads them. Until her...
The assignment should have been easy. Capture a deadly assassin and take her to HQ. But flawed intel leads to disaster, and Jace abducts a beautiful art appraiser instead. Intrigued by her courage, he's drawn to her in ways he can't explain. Dr. Madeline Cole stood up to him, fought for her identity, and never backed down. She's the kind of woman he could fall for if it wasn't so dangerous - for her.
Then Maddy is targeted for elimination because she's the sole person who can identify the mysterious female assassin - and the only thing standing between her and certain death is the sexy mercenary who swears he'll die before he lets anything happen to her. As the passion between them ignites, it seems clear that keeping Maddy safe has become the most important assignment of Jace's life.
Even then, protecting her might not be enough - because Jace has secrets that could destroy them both. And someone is determined to unmask them all...

And it gets exciting right from the start when Dr. Maddy Cole is kidnapped and taken prisoner in Russia. Ian Black's gang is responsible for this. Jace Kaiser is certain he has caught Calypso, a legendary assassin. Much to his chagrin, he realizes that he has caught the wrong person and that Maddy is exactly who she claims to be.
This is the start of an interesting cat-and-mouse game to protect Maddy from Calypso and to get to Calypso.
I liked Jace from the start; he is an interesting and strong man despite his dark past.
Maddy is very sweet, knows a lot about Russian art, but is also a little naive. However, the chemistry between the two is definitely there and palpable for the reader. But before they reach a happy ending, there is a lot of action, danger, suspense, and a few twists and turns. There are also great supporting characters that I would love to hear more about!
I was captivated by the story from beginning to end and was thoroughly entertained.
Joe Arden and Emma Wilder have made the story an absolute pleasure to listen to! I thought they portrayed Maddy and Jace very well. The pace of the narration was great, as were the emotions, and as always, it was a pleasure to listen to this entertaining and enjoyable story.
Wow, what a fantastic start to the series!

This is Jase and Maddy's story and I loved it.
Joe Arden and Emma Wilder really brought these two characters to life. Although their relationship doesn't get off to the best of starts, thanks to a case of mistaken identity. Soon the two of them are getting closer and sexy, alpha Jase is in full protective mode. Not that Maddy is a retiring wallflower, she has plenty of spirit and is not afraid of speaking her mind, even to the formidable Mr Black himself!!
Full of action, romance and suspense, Maddy and Jase's story definitely did not disappoint. I cannot wait to get my hands on more of Black's Bandits, and I can never have too much Ian Black in my life. This is another hit series from the author!
Great new series!

Loved Jace and Maddy. Interesting suspense storyline. Interesting side characters. Thought it might follow a different formula than the HOT series but it didn't (oh well).
Seems like part of the storyline will continue so probably need to read in order.
Audio- two great narrators gave a fabulous performance.

What wasn’t convincing was the romance, in my opinion. Between Maddy and Jace, there’s first mistrust, then Jace plays the protector, and finally he’s trying to save Maddy from their common enemy. There’s constant pressure or danger. While I can understand some form of attraction, how does it take precedence over all other thoughts at various moments? As if, at the moment of dying a horrible death, all they could think about were the dirty things they wanted to do with each other. Sorry, I don’t buy it.
Also, the imbalance between them bothered me quite a bit. Jace knows things about Maddy’s past that she ignores, and he doesn’t share them, even while they shape his relationship with her. I still enjoyed the few moments they spend together, when they share personal details. They clearly connect on some level.
There was some good passionate sexy times. But also some action and violence, with a good pacing.
Narrators are both talented, but I felt their reading pace didn’t match the tension and energy from the book. They did great with the characters though–all of them. Maddy’s naivety and Jace’s determination are rendered perfectly.
It wasn’t half bad, really
