I’d truly like to take a peek into these two authors wicked minds! They’ve mastered their writing relationship down to perfection giving me many happy hours of reading pleasure, laugh out loud and fan-grabbing moments. Black Balled was a was a very special read for me. I have to admit that my four-star rating of the book made me feel a tad ashamed; but then Joel Leslie narrated it and I had no option but to up my rating. Unexpected and much to my delight, Hard Edit was published and once again, I was drawn into the Larson Blackburn and Troy Babilonia’s steamy saga. This second book rounded up their story perfectly since I felt that the two protagonists deserved to find what they’d been looking for. I must say that I was never waiting for the spin-off, Guns Blazing. A heart had been broken along the way though, and now I got to hear Lloyd Letterbetter’s side of the story. Better said, he’s new beginning!

My ooh my! I have no words to describe how much I love listening to Joel’s skilful narrations. His ability to fit into each and everyone’s personality is nothing less than commendable. However, I wasn’t too keen on Lloyd’s voice at first which was quite surprising seeing that he’d pulled Larson and Troy’s off perfectly in Black Balled. But then Lloyd, an extremely successful criminal solicitor, kinda wiggled his way under my skin and it was him speaking his thoughts out loud to me. He still has a chip on his shoulder and still carrying a heavy heart after his hot sweet affair with Larson. Feeling shunned by ‘my man’, he can’t seem to get it together! There’s no doubt he dominates his profession to a T; however, at times, his personal issues seemed to take precedence. In the bedroom . . . hmm, I was really in for a surprise or two and couldn’t have been happier to see that he wasn’t the man I thought he was!

Lloyd is going to be given a run for his money and make him question a thing or two when the most unlikely individual he has yet to come across strolls into his office. I loved the way the the two of them weighed each other up. And if there were ever two characters I didn’t think would hit it off, it’s them! Yep, they’re as different as chalk and cheese so I asked myself, “Why then is Lloyd even giving Luke Gunner the time of day?” Aah, apart from being attracted to his future client’s cocksure and ‘mucho-macho’ attitude, the man who wants the ‘best’ in town to defend him has one hell of a challenging problem. Luke’s uses his gift to control his business with dodgy undertones also opens Lloyd’s appetite. And to top the lot, he needs Luke’s expertise to get him out of a tight spot. Is Lloyd’s inquisitiveness going to get the better of him? How the heck does he go about dealing with someone who appears to have a twenty-twenty vision, a sublime IQ and for a better word, tickle his fancy?

Luke Gunner made me go weak at the knees with his sexy crooning! What a smooth talking drop-dead gorgeous and convincing hunk of a man he is. Add rippling abs in all the right places was easily envisaged with Joel’s narrative expertise. I have to add that a humorous sarcasm makes for an easy ‘listening experience’. Thank you so much ladies for giving me the pleasure of listening to Troy and Larson’s thoughts, their advice and their gorgeousness. As always in stories written by Andrea and Eva, there’s always a hell of a lot of excitement overflowing with innuendos, severely good bellyaching laughter and more important, well-developed plots that make you think what’s going to happen next! Ooh yes; I have to mention that there’s one scene which was without a doubt, very well received. Told in past tense and with the main character’s point of view isn’t one of my fave narrative structures. Nonetheless, it worked! BRAVO ladies!
