Audiobook Review: Lover (Survivor #2) by T.M. Smith

Life has not always been kind to Shannon Dupree. On the outside he’s carefree and fun loving, but when it comes to his past he’s evasive and secretive. Running away from emotionally bereft parents at just fifteen, Shannon escapes life with them but steps into the waiting arms of the devil.

Rory Landers is a rising star at the Bureau. His personal life, however, is nothing to write home about. He hopes to take his limited relationship with Frank Moore to the next level when they finally solve the Langford murder case, but that doesn’t turn out as planned. On the plus side, he meets free-spirited college senior Shannon Dupree.

Rand Davis finds himself fortysomething and single when his partner of more than a decade is unfaithful. Taking over the Cold Case Squad frees up some of his time, and Rand welcomes newfound friendships within the Langford-Moore family circle. He thinks relationships are not in the cards for him until he meets an agent with an attitude and a vivacious blond that make him want so much more.

Past, present, pain, and suffering collide, ushering in the possibility of a life and love worth fighting for. Although their personalities couldn't be more different, their three hearts beat the same. Shannon, Rory, and Rand learn the definition of love, commitment, and strength and if they allow themselves, the trio will find all that and more—in each other.

Reviewer: Shee Reader


Rand is a big blustery type and his co-worker Rory is a spirited and strong man Rand doesn’t want to be attracted to. Rory is in a relationship with a wonderful man who is scared and scarred by his past abusive relationship. Can they find a way to make things work long-term with his abuser on the loose? Rand wants to take care of Shannon whilst simultaneously trying to stop his vivid and erotic fantasies that include a man in a relationship with another!

I absolutely adored the first book in this series, and could not wait to get started on this book. It is a gloriously complex, yet lowish angst love story of a couple finding their missing piece in the shape of a third. Beautifully written and engaging, I was drawn in from the outset. The three men are all likeable in their own way and a lovely match up.

The previous couple from book one feature throughout this story and it is so good to see them and how they are part of the tale as it unfolds.

The narration was delightful, and Russo gave the characterisation a lovely depth. The writing is often witty and funny and the narration enhances that in such a charming way.

I highly recommend this series, and I personally, eagerly await the next book!

I was given a copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
