What a perfect and touching conclusion to a terrific series, and Priest and Mal’s HEA was worth the wait. And cheers for an older (over 50) couple taking center stage!
Building on their longtime friendship, what begins as a friends-with-benefits agreement for the Hell’s Ankhor/Liberty Crew founders quickly deepens to more on both sides. As Priest struggles to reconcile his lingering grief and newfound happiness, Mal is faced with a past fling-turned-stalker who threatens his budding romance. Their hard-won HEA summarizes this series in a nutshell – gritty, angsty, sweet, tender, unexpected, and loving.
Narrator David Allen Vargo delivers another stellar performance here, as he’s done throughout this series. His deliciously deep and gravely voice, and distinct character voices and accents, elevate this series from a must-read to a must-listen.
