In this thrilling I-Team romance, a journalist and a man on the run follow a dangerous path toward the truth—and unforgettable passion...
Journalist Sophie Alton is investigating the disappearance of a woman named Megan, recently paroled and now running from the law with her newborn daughter. Her search leads her to Megan’s brother Marc, a convicted killer—and the man she shared an unforgettable night with twelve years ago.
Marc uses Sophie to escape from jail so he can find his sister before some very threatening men get to her first. Sophie knows she should fear Marc. But the heat and hunger of his touch still lingers in her mind—and body—after all this time.
Together they will follow a dangerous trail, as people on both sides of the law will do everything they can to keep them from finding Megan—and a shocking truth about the past...
I was pleasantly surprised by this romantic suspense. Unlawful Contact has a story sucked me in almost immediately, and fed me a steady diet of yummy intrigue, danger, and sexiness. The mystery involves an investigative reporter and an escaped convicted killer/decorated Army vet/ex-DEA agent who team up to find his missing sister and uncover some shady drug dealings in the process.
I saw a twist or two combing, but what a ride! The story itself is amazing, but the audiobook is on another level. I can’t remember the last time I was this blown away by the narration. Kaleo Griffith, where have you been hiding and can you please narrate more books ASAP? Please and thank you. The story is told in the third person and Kaleo manages to give dozens of characters their own distinct voice. Every. Single. One. He gives a nuanced delivery that is more of a vocal performance than a reading of words. If I closed my eyes I could clearly envision each moment. I can’t believe I haven’t encountered him sooner, but you’d better believe I’ll be looking for more books narrated by him. I’m also interested in reading the other books in the series.
