Story
Most people in Aleksey Rider-Mikkelsen’s life would probably assert that at 50, honest living and sobriety were long overdue. But recovering in bed from the lingering after-effects of his leg injury, bored, in pain, and feeling entirely irrelevant, Aleksey doesn’t much care what Benjamin Rider-Mikkelsen thinks. He doesn’t appreciate the close monitoring either.

Kade has seven days left to live...unless I do something about it. I am one of the best assassins around, after all. But...I’m not sure I exactly care what happens to Kade. He’s rude, only cares about himself and his casino, and did I mention he doesn’t know a single thing about video games? Okay, okay. Maybe that’s not enough of a reason to watch him dash headlong into danger while I kick back and enjoy the show.

Though I was born with the ability to see the dead, I struggled with it until my brother was killed and his ghost was left behind. Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death…the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense.

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

Two years ago, I made a mistake, a big one. Then I added a couple more just for good measure. I screwed up my life, but I survived. Now I have the opportunity for a fresh start. Two years in NZ. Away from the LA gossip, a chance to breathe, to rebuild my life. But I’m taking a new set of rules with me. I don’t do relationships. I don’t do commitment. I don’t do white picket fences. And I especially don’t do arrogant, holier-than-thou, smoking hot K9 officers who walk into my ER and rock my world.

Drake Park has a complicated life. As a gay male midwife, he’s used to raising eyebrows. Add Crohn’s Disease and things get interesting—or not, considering the sad state of his love life. Experience has taught Drake that most men are fair weather sailors when it comes to handling his condition—gone for dust when things get rough. Staying healthy is a fulltime job without adding in any heartbreak, so a little loneliness is a small price to pay. If he says it often enough he might even believe it. One thing for sure, the cop who arrested him isn’t about to change that.

Amazing
I have been a fan of this series for years but was reluctant to get the audiobooks because I rarely enjoy listening to them - I find the voices don’t match the characters or the story. This is the exception.
Gary Furlong is amazing. He has made a great series even better. He has captured the voices and the tempo of the story through his narration. The voices he used for Nicholas and Benjamin brought an extra depth to the characters. The quality of his narration has made it equivalent to listening to a movie.
Just magical. He should win all the awards.
I walk every day and have been cycling through this series and am now on my fourth circuit through the audiobooks. The books themselves are worth the read but whether you’ve read them or not, I recommend getting the audiobooks.

Amazing!
Took a gamble on this, was rewarded with a well written, intriguing saga. Narrated brilliantly by Mr Furlong.

amazing!
I can't say enough about how amazing this story is. The way Ben and Nik slowly find out about each other. By the end of this book, I'm already buying the next.
The narrator does a fabulous job making you fall into these characters.

Perfection! Narrator and great story
I have read a ton of MM but not this series. It’s been on my TBR forever. So glad I waited for Audio. Immediately headed into book two. Mysterious, hot, exciting and with a sense of self discovery. Love it!

Love is a stranger: what a great read! I loved the books, and the audio just made the experience better!
The book and the adventures, the emotional roller-coaster is thrilling in its own, but the voices made it more real for me. I liked listen into Nikolas and Ben's relationship, liked to go through (together with them) again all the changes they had to experience in order to make their relationship work.
I liked Nikolas' way of talking, the strange words he used (abhore, obtuse etc). As a non-native English speaker it is always amusing to see how rearly used words are we thought, and looked strange upon, when we accidentally speak them 🤣
So yeah, this is one of my favorite Audible titles.

Great story. Great narration.
What's better than one spy/special forces soldier in a story? Two. There are few things I enjoy more than a story filled with blood, sex, violence, a twisted plot, and spies. Decent writing and great narration are also at the top of the favorites list. All of the above will be found in this book.
I wanted to despise Nikolas. I just couldn't. His personal story is obviously going to be a primary source of what appears to be a multitude of intricate plot lines. With Ben's interesting history blended in, this will be a rollercoaster. I am so looking forward to weeks worth of beautifully narrated and extremely disturbing stories that read like a fictional version of a spy's guide to surviving the twenty first century. Sigh...

Tied for my favorite series of all time
Ben and Nikolas have an unusual start, and sometimes a rocky one. But, the scorching heat and chemistry between them transcends all the twists and turns of time. Both ex-military, their adventures and tribulations challenge them both to be their best (which sometimes means their worst). The author’s lengthy military background adds a touch of realism that isn’t often found in romance books. Having listened to this entire series more than once, I wish I could give it the ten stars it deserves. Gary Furlong is the perfect narrator, depicting each of their voices brilliantly. He also deserves ten stars.

Listen to this series now
Holy crap. This (audio)book blew my mind with how awesome it was. I LOVED IT SOOOOO HARD. The twists and turns. Not knowing what was going on. I wasn't completely sold on Nikolas. It took me a long time to warm up to him. I plan on listening to this book again very soon. Gary Furlong's narration was amazing. I love his voice.

To be continued
I'm torn. The story is left pretty much up in the air and ends on "To be continued in Conscious Decisions of the Heart" but part of the story feels "happy for now". I don't like undisclosed cliffhangers and unresolved plot lines.
Nikolas and Ben are engaging characters but a trigger warning would have been appropriate. There are some pretty brutal events that might be an issue for some readers.
The action scenes were exciting but the characters suffered serious injuries that they bounced back from too easily. I chalk it up to being fiction.
Gary Furlong did a good job performing the story and I didn't have any difficulty telling who was speaking.
