This review covers the whole series.
It is a decent light listen but don’t expect anything significantly new from each book in the series. It is as if the author has a basic template to be able to churn out books as quickly as possible without having to put much thought or original writing into it. All the books follow it, which got monotonous, predictable, and irritating e.g
All the men have beards and wear ball caps
One of the main characters in each book always has a southern drawl or dimples
Instead of describing the characters and give them unique looks, they all resemble famous actors and actresses
As soon as the characters get together the women are almost continously pregnant
The women somehow get involved in some mission being carried out and the guys spill the beans on what they really do
They are always making gestures which almost no one in real life make (e.g. standing and putting their hand in prayer position below their chin, or falling down to their knees when hearing bad news) and descriptions of hand gestures are a bit silly, there are better ways to write it.
The romantic chemistry in some books are better but very flat in others, luckily the suspense plots saved the ones where the romance were a bit flat. The plots sometimes do have some holes with detail missing, it seems a bit rushed. The timelines in the last few books were strange, with the stories taking place in 2022 even though the books were published in 2021.
The narrators are good and their American accents were fine but their foreign accents were terrible and just annoying.
If you are just looking for a book to listen to in the background that don’t require a lot of concentration or contain intense emotion, then these books are fine. I’m not sure if each book is worth a credit since it is the same format for each book. If it where box sets per credit, for a the books and not only the 1st 3, it would be more reasonable.
