Friendly Fire written by Cari Z narrated by Nick J Russo | Cat's Audiobook Review & #giveaway @RiptideBooks @author_cariz @nickjrussovoice


Friendly Fire

In a battle of wills, stubbornness could cost you your life.
Elliot McKenzie is the king of reinvention. Five years after losing his job, his lover, and almost going to prison, his self-help program, Charmed Life, is more successful than he'd ever dreamed. He thinks he's put his sordid past firmly behind him, until he starts receiving cryptic threats, and realizes it might not be as over as he'd hoped.
Security expert Lennox West has been lost since a deadly skirmish in Afghanistan led to his forced retirement from the Army. His PTSD makes helping his ex raise their daughter a challenge. When his ex's sister asks him to set her boss up with a security system, Lennox isn't expecting anyone like Elliot McKenzie - a man who captures his attention, and makes him feel relaxed for the first time since leaving the service.
But Elliot is dangerously stubborn. Even as the threats against him escalate, he refuses to involve the police, and Lennox fears that stubbornness could kill him. A battle of wills ensues that brings them closer to each other than either man expected. But if the threats turn real, they might not live long enough to get their future together.

Performance
Story
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It's an interesting story, with sexy men and an interesting storyline and I love Nick J Russo

What did you like best about this story?
I liked the characters. Both men are intriguing, broken and I liked the cockiness of Elliott.

What does Nick J. Russo bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He gives each character more personality and gives the story some great pacing. I love the way he lifts his voice in just the right time or drops it in sexy times.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, not really.

Any additional comments?
I liked friendly fire. It was an interesting story with two very interesting broken men. I loved Elliots business that made the story quite unique and the mystery was intriguing and kept you on your toes.

If you like a second chance at life, broken men, reinvention, mystery, suspense and some hot man-sex you will like this.

Cari Z was a bookworm as a child and remains one to this day. In an effort to combat her antisocial reading behavior, she did all sorts of crazy things, from competitive gymnastics to alligator wresting (who even knew that was legal!) to finally joining the Peace Corps, which promptly sent her and her husband to the wilds of West Africa, stuck them in a hut, and said, "See ya!" She also started writing, because some things she just thought she could do better. She's still climbing that ladder, but can't stop herself from writing, or from sharing what she creates.
Cari enjoys a wide range of literary genres, from the classics (get 'im, Ahab) to science fiction and fantasy of all types, to historical fiction and reference materials (no, seriously, there are so many great encyclopedias out there). She writes in a wide range of genres as well, but somehow 90% of what she produces ends up falling into the broad and exciting category of m/m erotica. There’s a sprinkling of f/m and f/f and even m/f/m in her repertoire, but her true love is man love. And there's a lot of love to go around.
Cari has published short stories, novellas, and novels with numerous print and e-presses, and she also offers up a tremendous amount of free content on Literotica.com, under the name Carizabeth.
