5 Star Audio Review ~ Owen Blue Team (Book 1) by Riley Edwards

Blurb:

Owen Cullen was a dream. Not a dream come true though, because I’d never dared to dream. He was my wildest fantasy, a hallucination, a delusion. The handsome man who’d saved my life—twice. He was a real-life hero, and I was...what was I? Filth, that was what I was. The daughter of a gangster, the niece of the reigning king of Chicago’s underground. I tried my best not to fall in love with Owen. I tried not to mistake his kindness. I tried to remember the lessons of my youth: Love was a weakness. Sex was a weapon. It didn’t work. I fell in love. Then my uncle found me, and I ruined everything.

Natasha. It was a fake name. One she’d made up on the fly when my team had rescued her from a life worse than death. She had no place to go, so I took her home. It was supposed to be temporary, just until we learned who she was. But the woman proved to be stubborn and kept her secrets buried deep. She’d lived with me for months, and every day the pull of her called to me. I was living a nightmare of my own making. I didn’t trust women, especially the one sleeping in my guest bedroom. I’d fought the good fight. I’d held out for as long as I could. Then all of her secrets came out, but it was too late. I was in too deep. Natasha, the beautiful woman with no last name, was mine. But it turned out that she had a last name—Pollaski.

Everything came crashing down.

I was no stranger to the battlefield. I was used to blood, guts, and no glory. What I wasn’t accustomed to was the feeling of my heart being torn from my chest. What I was not acquainted with was desperation. Natasha was gone, and I had less than 24 hours to find her, or she’d be gone in a different way.

Welcome back to Z Corp and Special Forces—Operation Alpha. New team, new former military heroes. Like the teams that have come before, Owen, Gabe, Myles, Kevin, and Cooper are ready for action.

Review:

I am so excited with to get to know the Z Corps crew! I loved Natasha and he need to be more even if her family has put her through the worst things possible.  She’s a good person who’s life was harder than one would want it to be but it didn’t break who she was.  There were so many things that she was taught being in her family and many things witnessed that destroyed her.  The became someone that she wasn’t but still she was She had to learn how worthy and relevant she was. 

Owen had was stuck in the past; a past that was destroying his present and future.  He didn’t trust but the feelings he had for Natasha and her quirkiness has taken over his mind. The idea of anyone touching her, teaching her anything or basically taking her attention away from him can’t be tolerated.  The time getting to know each other and allowing their feelings to happen was hard but both of them taught each other something that speared the relationship along.

Sebastian York and Janine Granda were the perfect duo to take on this story! I loved how these characters came to life with each spoken word!
