The first two books had an abundance of intensifiers, which detracted from the storyline. By the third book, there weren’t as many, which made listening easier. The women were often frustrating, especially Trina, who was hard to take. I would have liked to have seen Nick step up to the plate more, as a leader, rather than letting the whining women dictate what the group did. I would like to see more books written with these characters, as well as purchasing the author’s other series. It appears he is growing in his writing ability. I would highly recommend this series!
