About this listen

 A steamy age-gap romance about a unbreakable young woman who joins the Special Forces program, the no-nonsense commander whose job is to break her down, and an incendiary, attraction that threatens to consume them both.

I made it into the special forces course, but there are three problems.
Problem number one? One of my instructors is the infamous Special Operator Beast—a man everyone fears due to his cold heart and polished career. He loathes being away from his team, which makes graduating nearly impossible for all of us, mainly his least favorite student, me.

Problem number two? My heart skips a beat whenever I look into his cruel eyes, and my blood heats whenever he’s near me. He’s tall, scarred, and a devastatingly irresistible man who never smiles.

Oh, and problem number three? He’s my ex-boyfriend’s dad.

We try to stay out of each other’s way to make our reckless attraction fade, but fate keeps bringing us together. The military calls me The Unbreakable Soldier, but falling for Kade O’Connell might be my undoing. Action & Adventure Military Heartfelt Solider

Narration:⭐⭐⭐⭐
Spice:🌶️🌶️

I had high hopes for this story, I was very disappointed, the story just wasn't there, violet is so naive (I know she's 22 but..) she questions her Sargents orders constantly, like the rules don't apply to her, from what I know of the armed forces she would of been in a lot of trouble.
I get that they were sleeping together but she consistently says she respects her superiors, wants to progress in her career but then does the complete opposite.
I feel like their relationship is just surface level and not in the slightest bit deep.
i feel like violet's so immature (as she should be for her age) but I just don't feel like they fit together.
The Narration is good, easy to listen too and the spice is good but I just didn't click with the story, it was lacking so much.

The story could of been so much more

James Cassidy and Janine Granada were incredible in Mariposa. They truly brought the story to life with emotion, personality, and beautiful pacing. Both narrators are new to me, but I will absolutely be listening to more of their work. A fantastic performance that made this audiobook unforgettable.

Amazing 🤩
