Cabe got out of the gun-for-hire business the hard way—by nearly dying. Except then his former boss calls in one last favor for one final job. The mission should be simple: get a message to a retired operative in Alaska. But it puts Cabe face-to-face with the one man he doesn’t want to see and can never forget. Not after all the secrets and lies. Not after Brax almost killed him.

Brax Hughes lived hard and retired young to a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Well, that was the plan, but before he can hang up his sniper rifle, he has one last mission: win back Kyle Cabe. Brax wants another chance, wants to come clean, but after months of lying to Cabe, he knows he could face a bullet—or worse—when they meet again. And they will meet. Brax made sure of that.

With a storm moving in and someone lurking outside the cabin, time is running out. Brax needs to talk fast and keep his weapons ready. And his best weapon is the truth.

Story

Would you listen to Stranded again? Why?

I would, and will. I loved the marriage of the written word and the narration.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Oh that's hard. I liked them both so much. Cabe was wounded and betrayed, his heart buried under a steel exterior he projects so it won't get broken again. Brax, the man that fell hard for Cabe and made the ultimate sacrifice to protect Cabe.

What does Dorian Bane bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He gives both men dimension. There's only so much that can be conveyed through words on paper, Bane brings their personalities and pain to life perfectly.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The book was pretty much non stop start to finish, but I particularly liked the end, when Cabe went to claim what was his. It was very mellow, for lack of a better word, the way he went about it when he came face to face with Brax and it fit the story beautifully.

Any additional comments?

Well written story about to men that have sacrificed life and love for a cause they no longer believe in. Now they just have to learn to trust each other again. 

I love Dorian Bane's deep, raspy baritone. It fit Brax flawlessly and he managed to reel it in and soften his tone for Cabe. Definitely a must listen, highly recommend.
