About this listen
If you're looking for a pause-resisting listen, don't miss this action-packed Amazon best-selling romantic suspense novel.
The day my life took an inevitable detour things got a little crazy.
My name is Essalin Brant, but everyone calls me Essa. I attend a small college in a tiny town, and in my 22 years of life I've never even traveled outside the state of Pennsylvania. You could say my life is pretty boring. I live by the rules. I'm a good girl and nothing exciting ever happens.
But that's all about to change.
Enter Farren Shaw. Not only is he older and intimidating, but he's more sure of himself than any 29-year-old man has a right to be. Did I mention that he's drop-dead gorgeous? Well, he is. He also happens to be my best friend Haven's brother. And I would be content with just fantasizing about Farren from afar, but when Haven suddenly goes missing, her gorgeous brother is the only one who believes me when I say she was abducted, even though all signs seem to suggest Haven left town willingly.
I know better, though. As does Farren. So when he asks me to accompany him to search for his sister, I accept.
That's when the real adventure begins.
Our quest to find Haven takes us across the country. And throughout the time we spend together, I find myself falling for Farren...falling hard. He's everything I've ever wanted. But is he really someone I should fear?
Because aside from making me feel things I've never felt before, Farren is hiding something. Something big. What could this stunning man be keeping from me? And why? Is Haven's disappearance somehow connected to his mysterious job?
All I know is that things are about to get real.
Welcome to the Inevitable Detour that has become my life.
New adult/romantic suspense.
Book one of the Inevitability duology.

As the days pass, I begin to realize how much my life is missing. Companionship. Romance. Intimacy. When I discover my heart has space for one more female, it’s a lost cause, another curveball. The hot-as-hell nanny is leaving soon for a mission trip to Central America. No sense in letting myself fantasize about Jessa being a permanent part of my life.

An Irish mobster. A missing friend. Two loyalties, ripping me apart. I had a plan. Get in, get my information, and get out. Easy, right? Turns out, infiltrating the Irish mafia isn't exactly what I thought it would be. I just wanted a soldier. Someone I could flirt with to get me in the door. That's when Lachlan Crow noticed me. Problem was, he wasn't a soldier. No, he was next in line for the throne of the Irish underworld. And he was determined to hate me from the outset.

Unfortunately, not all people from magical bloodlines have powers, and at 22, I’m several years past the age they usually appear. So I’ve resigned myself to a boring, magic-less life. Then something strange happens. I get stuck in the middle of a bar fight, and instead of just punching the guy back, I blow a hole in the wall. So...I guess I do have powers. But they’re unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. This shit is definitely not normal. And it seems the magical authorities agree. I can go to school, learn to control my magic. Or they’ll take it away. Permanently.

He’s a ruthless stranger. One I can’t see, only feel, thanks to my friends who make a deal with him on my behalf. No names. No personal details. No face to etch into my mind. Just him, me, and an expensive silk tie. What happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas. He warns me he’s full of danger. I never see that side of him. All I experience is his Russian accent, delicious scent, and touch that lights me on fire. One incredible night turns into two. Then we go our separate ways. But fate doesn't keep us apart.

A perfect blend of story and character!
I LOVED listening to this story! It is full of suspense and action! That is right up my alley! Then add in delicious, intriguing and animated characters and I am sold!
The characters really drew me in. Not just Farren (the mysterious, hot older brother) but the innocence and vivaciousness of Haven and Essalin (cool name BTW). They all are full fledged characters that change and grow as the story unfolds. I don’t want to forget to mention the evil guys because without them there would be no story.
Overall I am overly pleased with this story and cant wait to dig in to the next one! I did listen to this on audio. Keira Stevens did a wonderful job being all the different characters. That Epilogue!!! OMG its exactly what should be in there...especially with a second book coming out.

Wanted to like it
I really wanted to like this book. Unfortunately I found the exchanges between the two main characters immature for adults and the main woman character to be incredibly naive. Some of the exchanges felt like high school/ middle school. The narrator did a good job but I got through a couple hours and I couldn’t take the confusion of the story line/ plot or the character’s total disregard that their loved one is missing but yet the main woman character is more concerned with what the male character does and if they are going to have a romp in the sack. I couldn’t finish the book and I hate doing that. This is a good author but for whatever reason I couldn’t get into this story.

Exciting and on Edge
I received this audiobook free, as an Audiobook Obsession Reviewer, for an honest review. This book kept me on the edge. I couldn't stop listening. Looking forward to more in this series. The author mixed suspense, romance and angst all in one book. There were twists and turns you didn't expect. The narrator did a great job with the individual characters.

Interesting premise with very weak female
Firstly, I thought Keira Stevens did a good job with the narration. In general, she told the story well, with good pacing and emotion, and she was easy to listen to.
While the premise of the story was interesting, I couldn't get over how weak the female character was. The premise is that Essa's friend disappeared after they went out one night. Her friend's brother comes to try to find her and he has many enemies so the search for her was dangerous. Essa is so attracted to him that at any moment, she completely forgets about her friend's disappearance, the danger and everything else in order to get it on with Farren. After happening multiple times, I just shook my head. My preference is to have a stronger female character and slightly more realistic mindsets.
I've read other books by this author and most of the time, have enjoyed the books. So, this is a detour for me as well! :)
I requested and received this audiobook and this is my unbiased review.

Sweet and Suspenseful Romance!
This is a suspenseful, yet sweet love story. After a night of partying and questionable decisions, Essa wakes up to find her roommate and best friend, Haven, is missing. When the authorities don't believe her, she turns to Haven's sexy, older brother, Farren, for help. They embark on a road trip following the clues left behind. Essa has lead a sheltered life, never following her own dreams, so this roadtrip is a turning point in her life where she grows stronger and more confident. She and Farren work together to find Haven and as they do, their attraction becomes undeniable. But Farren, who can be so sweet, has a mysterious past that includes special ops. He has so many secrets that could be putting both their lives in danger. I loved the way this gripping story unfolded. It is a sweet love story between two intriguing characters and a suspenseful journey with twists and turns that keep you guessing who to trust and what might happen next. This is my first listen to narrator, Keira Stevens. She has a soothing voice that is perfect for the romance as she sets the stage for the impending action and suspense. This is a great start to this Inevitability series and I am excited for the next book!

Nnoooo there is A cliffhanger!!!!
I really don’t want to like this book because I hate books with cliffhangers.:.: But I do like this book. It was a good book with drama, love and cruel characters. And narration by Keira Stevens is phenomenal. She was sooo good that I have to look for more books narrated by her. She is the reason this book gets 5stars.
Now I guess I have to wait until 2. Book get to be on audio. That’s why I hate cliffhangers
