Loved Sean's Performance!

Matthew Elliot is closeted at work and at home. Unofficially the face of his fab-four narcotics team he spends his time afraid anyone will discover his deepest secret.

Kira "Frankie" Franco is the new instructor at the cop gym down the block. Matt takes one look at Kira and knows he's in trouble. Kira realizing Matt is closeted gives him the perfect out - even though Kira is out in his personal life, he has made sure to keep his private life complete private after starting work at the gym. So the two begin seeing each other in secret and their passion explodes.

But it's not all about passion. Matt finally has someone who understands every part of him - including his ambitions - and matches him at every stage. The two are quick to fall in love, and Matt is happier than he's ever been, but the case he's working on is heating up - and about to change all of their lives forever.

Told from Matt's single POV there's a bit of angst, some mystery that's woven really well throughout, action that (with Sean's performance) had me on the edge of my seat, and some pretty hot sex. But mostly, I loved getting to see the relationship between Matt and Kira deepen into a real abiding love.

I don't know if I was just in the mood for it this time, or if Sean Crisden's performance was just that great, but I enjoyed this so much more than when I read it. Sean Crisden was on point with his performance and even managed to drag a couple of tears out of me. This was a really enjoyable listen. Sean's voice was like honey in my ears and a warm blanket wrapped around me.

If you like cops, sexy boxers, some angst, a lot of romance and hot sex, and some kick ass narration - pick this up.

I cannot wait for the other books in the series to come out on audio!

Ticks all my boxes...

I'm a huge NR Walker fan and this book didn't disappoint.

The early relationship between closeted MC's Matt and Kira (both strong men) is low angst and feels right as it slowly develops, that is until Walker, who likes to put her MC's through their own personal hell, shoves the men into the open and they decide what (or rather who) is important.

Good guys, a great supportive cast of family and friends, and bad guys who get theirs in the end all make Point of No Return an excellent story to get lost in for a couple of hours.

As always, Sean Crisden does excellent narration and I hope he gives voice to the remaining books in the series. He did a great job of voicing the subtle venerability in Detective Matt Elliott’s character, something that can often be lost in alpha cop characters.

Get it you won't regret it.

First of all Shawn Crisden is a wonderful narrator, he gives life to all his characters.
The story itself was pretty good. It had everything I expected from this genre, good storyline, good plot great characters and we have some hot sex scene.
I will say that Kyra's mom is the best, and Sean does her accent so well.
There are two other stories that go along with this story and I'm so excited to read them.
Get this book you won't regret it.
Also the Steelers don't play on Saturday night!

So glad to see this in audio!

I was so glad to see this FINALLY come to audiobook. This was my first exposure to this wonderful author and it hooked me in right from the start!

What I love about this is the classic story line: two people who shouldn’t be attracted to one another but can’t escape it. A slow burn dance of a romance as things gradually become physical. A deepening of the relationship over time capped with a dangerous situation which eventually pushes their hands and makes them really evaluate their priorities.

This is also an amazing story about coming out and finding your true self. It has some cultural notes in it as well as some disabilities. And we also get to learn something about fighting!

NR Walker isn’t afraid to make her guys really, really work for their HEA and even after things “look” happy we still see the “real life” struggles.

The chemistry between Kira and Matt is electric and the danger had me on the edge of my seat!

I loved Sean’s narration and thought he was a perfect choice for this. He does an amazing job narrating this and handling the various accents. He is a joy to listen to and I can highly recommend this!

Awesome!

The plot, narration and character development were off the chain. Can't wait to read the others in the series 😁

A great and heartwarming story, with incredible narration

This was a really great story! I love the angle it was taken from and the characters were lovable. The narration was so great! The narrator nailed all of the characters' voices. Am I glad I read this? Absolutely! I can't wait to dive into Part 2! Is this a story I would keep reading over and over again? I don't think so. The romance came together too quickly. I wished the author had taken her time to really show a slow build and include more tension. I was just about at the point in the middle of the story where I felt I needed more. Thank goodness the kidnapping thing came along. Though it was a rushed conclusion, it was so needed to add tension to the story and add another layer that kept us engaged.

Another FRESH Series!!

The reason I began with this unknown author was, quite simply, because of Sean Crisden's beautiful voice!! I'd listen to his deep, sexy impassioned voice reading to me from Oxford! Matters not!!

However, N.R. Walker did a great job of fleshing out an interesting, caring, romantic M/M story..., causing me to immediately purchase book 2 in the series. I so appreciated her leading us into the heart & soul of the MC's, way before many authors do.

The tender feelings between our two men was completely believable and understandable; it fit the story, and their evolution perfecto! Very story-driven, with sufficient intimacy to keep things real. So enjoyable!!

Looking forward to continuing this delightful series!!❤

what a awesome book

I love detective stories or cop stories either or I found this by checking out different writers and I like them and I like the narrator He does a good job. a must read

Perfection

Loved everything about it. Kept me engaged the entire way through. About 3/4 of the way through, I thought I figured out what the ending was going to be but I had it wrong. Sean Crisden was the perfect choice for the narrator.

Highly recommended!
