About this listen
Everything changed the night Kri almost died.
Simply being her coworker or her friend is no longer enough.
I need more. I want forever.
When she woke up from that coma, her eyes sought mine.
My hand was the first one she held.
And for eight weeks, I stayed in the hospital with her.
No matter how many times she tried to push me away, I never faltered.
Two years ago, we shared a passionate moment, but she quickly retreated from our connection.
I've craved her ever since.
Kri's clearly been hurt before, so I've been patient.
But I can't stop fantasizing about how it'll feel to drive her wild with pleasure.
I'm done waiting.
My plan to win her heart starts falling into place when she agrees to live with me while she recovers.
But she's determined to keep it platonic.
Until the night she gives in and slams her mouth to mine.
With her back to the wall, I give her a glimpse of how it feels to surrender to her desire. And to me.
Then she pushes me away. Again.
Now I'm longing for the inevitable moment when she lets me claim her - body, mind, heart, and soul.
But danger knocks at our door.
And we've got a houseguest - an unruly teenager needing our protection.
No matter the threat, I'll do what I do best.
Protect those I love.
And make no mistake, I'll get the girl.
Whether she likes it or not.

Great suspenseful story, with fantastic characters!
Thanks to Jackie Walker and her ARC team for providing an Advanced Listening Copy of this book. All opinions provided in this review are my own.
Comeback Hero really had me in the story from the beginning, all the way to the end. I loved going through the journey of our characters Shep and Kri and being back in this world.
Comeback Hero is book 3 in the Redleg Security series. Although can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend you read the other previous two books (and in order), they are just that good! Book 3 is about Shepherd (Shep) and Kri. They have always had a connection but due to working together at Redleg Security, as well as other things in her past, Kri has always held off on pursuing anything further with Shep. After a serious accident that leaves Kri with some brain injury and needing some help and assistance, Shep steps in to care for her. This is especially useful when they are assigned a new job as partners to offer security and protect a new client, Valerie (Val) who is a 15 year old teenager whose parents were recently targeted and unalived.
This book was just such chef’s kiss! 💋🤌 It has so much going for it; it’s a lot more than just a suspenseful book. It off course had all the intriguing suspenseful plot points, including having to protect Val and investigate the crimes that came at all of them. But was also just soo romantic, as well as it taking us on a family journey. I really enjoying seeing both Kri and Shep’s journey. Kri had a lot of hang-ups and trauma from being the only female working in male dominated military spaces in the past, and she also had past family trauma. It was nice seeing her slowly working through all this. Shep had PTSD from his time in the military as well, and I loved how he was able to work through that and accept therapy. I also loved seeing Kri slowly learning to trust Shep and seeing his love for her. He took on that protective role, but also knew and acknowledged how capable Kri was in her own right! Side note: this man learnt how to cook just so he could feed her when she got out of hospital! I mean, that part got me!!! 💕
I loved seeing them take care of Valarie and seeing all of them slowly take on those family roles. Seeing Shep with Val, and seeing Kri with Val… their connections were just too sweet! I’ll leave it there because I don’t want to risk spoiling the book, but just know, this book was just absolutely fantastic! It was also soo fuuny, and sweet, and super steamy! Just pick it, you won’t regret it!
Narrated by Jacob Morgan and Ava Lucas. They did such a wonderful job at portraying Shep and Kri respectively. Their performances were such great and easy listens. I especially enjoyed Morgan’s different accents when portraying Shep’s inner voice. Overall, they were incredible at helping bring the characters, and the story to life!

Shep & Kri
4.5 stars
Hot and smexy, funny and suspenseful. Kri and Shep have a lot of demons to fight but they are one heck of a pair together.
Jacob Morgan and Ava Lucas were superb as the bossy and caring Shep and the badarse Kri.

Need to escape with some romantic suspense?
If you love romantic suspense, then Jackie Walker is the author for you! She knows how to pull me into a story and make it seem like I am not only part of the crowd, but seeing and feeling it all! This third book of her Redleg Security series features Shep and Kri. Both former military, they are integral to the security team. Currently Kri is recovering from an injury sustained while protecting Sammy. It's going to be a while, and Shep has been at her side from the start. When Redleg is approached to protect a teen who's in danger, Shep and Kri take her in, even though Kri is not at her best yet. Taken with the smart mouthed girl from the start, these two know they are in for an adventure as they try to find out exactly who is after her family. And the story begins. Kri is dealing with her own recovery, but is loving the distraction of watching and protecting Val. She has some things to sort through as she deals with her guilt of not protecting Sammy. Shep has his own issues as his nightmares return, and the reasons why his PTSD is back haunting him more. But one thing never fails with these two. Their feelings, the chemistry and the way they are with each other. Even through the most dangerous of times, they find a way to get back to each other. It's the perfect mix of action, suspense and romance. The time flew by as the audio played!
And how can Jackie Walker make it better? She can have Ava Lucas and Jacob Morgan narrate the story! Lucas is a favorite, and she just delves into Kri full force. She is obstinate and angry, vulnerable and passionate. Lucas shines as Kri as her recovery progresses and the layers peel off. Morgan is always amazing at the alpha protector and as Shep he is spot on. Even with Shep's own problems, he keeps his feelings for Kri apparent and strong. The heat level is high and these two make it even hotter! Loved this listen and I can't wait for more of this amazing series!

More Redleg Greatness! Awesome Story & Listen🎧
Jackie Walker pens another fabulous novel set in her amazing “Redleg Security” series, a romantic suspense with a side of humor to lighten things up. Each book in the series features different characters, a member or two of Redleg Security, the books stand on their own, but characters from earlier books appear and knowing their back story is beneficial and adds depth, besides seeing the again is like seeing an old friend. This third book is Shepherd “Shep” Collins and Kristian “Kri” Dayton’s story. Both are members of Redleg Security and former military. Kri is recovering from the injuries she sustained while guarding Sammy and is also feeling guilty about what happened. Shep has been at her side while she was in the hospital and continues to be while she recovers. Kri hasn’t returned to work, with Shep with her Redleg is short staffed, so when a friend brings in a teenage girl, Valerie, in for protection, they ask Kri to be her temporary guardian and Shep to be her guard. Someone murdered Valerie’s parents and they think she may be a target and in danger, too. There are lots of layers to this story, Kri is dealing with her recovery and her guilt and Shep is dealing with PTSD, then his own inner demons cause his nightmares to return. Add a teenager into the mix to complicate matters, but having Valerie there takes their mind off their own troubles and they are busy trying to figure out who killed her parents and why. I adored these characters and loved watching Kri and Shep fight the chemistry that is between them, mostly Kri, and knowing it was going to be a losing battle for them. And how they were with Valerie had me appreciate them even more. It was great to see the other members of the Redleg, too. I loved how everything played out in this book, it is a cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, some angst, some humor to lighten things up, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Jackie Walker, thank you for another fantastic story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 The wonderfully talented Ava Lucas and Jacob Morgan did a fabulous job bringing these characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of who they were portraying. I loved how they took their roles and made them their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. Morgan nailed it as Shep, grasping every aspect of his personality, his humor and inner dialogue was hilarious, accent and all. Lucas was just as amazing as Kri, also grasping all sides of her personality, from her insecurities to her strength and badassery. They set the right tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their performance elevates the story to another level. Thanks for another amazing listen.

Tiaras, British accents, PT and corn
Jacob Morgan and Ava Lucas knocked it out of the bedroom with this one! Come on if you've read or listened to any of the previous books you know Shep or Sawyer would have made the joke!
But the Author has done a wonderful job making sure she has chosen a voice to bring forth the emotions of her characters both good and bad. No easy feet when one of those emotions involves corn!
The narrators do a great job of keeping you engaged and keeping the pace of the book moving forward so that putting it down at times is a real struggle. So get ready because this listen is ready to make life a little more difficult but also more fun.

Brilliant romantic suspense
This is book number 3 in The Redleg Security series and WOW,WOW,WOW,It is FANTASTIC !
I cannot say enough great things about this Audiobook.
Jacob Morgan and Ava Lucas are absolutely Amazing portraying the characters in this book,they had me so mesmorised by their voices and the way they controlled the story together.
They were both clear and expressive and showed all the emotions with their voices and I loved listening to their excellent performances.
Jacobs interpretation of a drunk Shep is hilarious!!..The comedy timing of both Jacob and Ava is perfection.
Jacob Morgan is just so swoon I guarantee you will just melt by his rendition of Shep and Ava Lucas is a wonderful version of Kri...Brilliant.
Redleg security is back with a bang with Comeback Hero the story was AMAZING..and maybe my favourite so far.
Jackie Walkers writing seems to get better and better she had me hanging on her every word...I adore the way Jackie writes her books and her characters,they always pull you in immediately and easily...I love her sense of humour and witty banter between characters,the emotions,the suspense,and the sexy times..The intrigue and little cliff hangers are addictive.
Shep and Kri are co-workers and when Kri has a life altering injury,Shep is there for her to help her through the aftermath,taking care of her at his home.
Shep has always crushed on Kri and he is determined while he is living with her that he will try to persuade Kri that they could be great together.
Kri is very guarded though she has feelings for Shep too but resists, she has her issues just like Shep has but gradually they start to really fall in love when they are assigned to help protect a young teenage girl Valerie.
As Valerie easily slips into their lives they make an adorable little family.
Shep is just so swoon worthy I Loved him to pieces,he complimented Kri and her strong willed personality plus his relationship with Valerie will have you sighing in appreciation.
Comeback Hero is a superb edition to this series and listening to the story heightened the experience and I am so glad I audiobooked the book instead of reading it myself...Because Jacob Morgan and Ava Lucas enhanced the story and made it better.
I cannot wait for book number 4..
Jackie Walker is Phenomenal and I hope more readers give her books a try because she is a hidden gem in the book world.
Outstanding.
5 Stars.

Romantic suspense
Shep & Kri have such an intense story.
They’ve been friends and partners for years. They both have tumultuous pasts. They have such a push and pull, and Shep is so in-tuned to Kri, he is her soft place to land during her recovery, he always encourages her and lifts her up, it is such a wonderful dynamic.
Their chemistry is top notch, their snark and sass is perfection, their banter is hilarious.
Their assignment is difficult and full of emotion, mystery, and drama.
I loved this story, I was hooked from the beginning, Ava Lucas & Jacob Morgan both did such a phenomenal job narrating this amazing, suspenseful romance
