Love the story
I loved this second chance at Romance for Gwen and Callum and loved the story of trying to find out what happened to Ian and how it ties to Callum’s last tour in the army. Looking forward to reading the other stories in this series.

An impossible love!
Callum and Gwen had an interrupted love story by none other than his brother Ian. But Ian dies, and the circumstances are suspicious. Gwen knows something is not right. And the romance with Callum blossoms again amidst the mystery of all. This is a great listen with the best narration.

Terrific Story & Narration🎧Compelling & Engaging!
Nicole Blanchard continues to wow me with another amazing novel set in her “First to Fight” series, a second chance romance filled with mystery and suspense. Callum “Cal” Reece left the marines despite only wanting to be an operator, but it was time to move on and go home, which was difficult, because he will have to face the only woman he ever loved, the woman who married his late brother, Ian. Gwen Winston moved on when Cal left her for the marines. The two were never officially a couple, but they were quite fond of each other. Ian was nothing like his brother and they fell in love, making a life for themselves. That was until his tragic passing, one Gwen has suspicions about. She was mad at Cal for not coming home for his brother’s funeral. He is determined to make things right with her and her unborn baby, and when strange and unexplainable things happen around her house, he goes into protective mode and does some investigating. He turns out to be her rock, and I thought they were great together and for each other. There is never a dull moment in this book, and the story captivates your attention from start to end, keeps you thinking and on your toes. The writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. The story has the perfect balance of drama, a touch of angst, some mystery, twists and turns, thrilling and suspenseful moments, heartfelt emotions, and a wonderful second chance romance.Nicole Blanchard, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 Marina Barrett and Theo Sinclair did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life, humanizing them, giving each a voice that was fitting and was believable in every role. Sinclair aced it as Cal, showcasing his personality perfectly and Barrett was just as amazing as Gwen, both grasping every aspect of their character’s personality, and their every emotion and have you feeling them all. They make a terrific team, their voices complement each other, their pacing is great, and they set the perfect tone for the story. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their performance elevates the already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another wonderful listen.

Good 2nd chance at love
This is book 6 in a series but I read it as a standalone without any problems. There appears to be an overarching mystery in the background because there's a minor cliffhanger at the end. But, there's a HFN ending with the expectation of HEA to come in later books. I enjoyed the emotion and tension between the two main characters. I wished there had been a little more angst but was vvv glad there was no major third quarter drama. I do have a few questions but I'd bet they'll be answered in later books, which I do plan to read.
Narration was excellent. Pleasant voices that were easy to listen to.
New to me author and narrators. I'll definitely be looking for more of their works.

Fantastic storyline
This book has all the feels. With a sticky situation to be in these characters are so in love but can’t be together. It’s an emotional rollercoaster that is tragic and painful. A wonderful performance from both narrators.

Entertaining and Emotional!
This is the sixth book in the First to Fight series, a Romantic Suspense. This is a standalone romance, within an interconnected series. Callum and Gwen's story is entertaining, and emotional. They are both interesting characters. Callum is handsome, and protective. Gwen is beautiful, strong, and smart. The story is filled with mystery, secrets, angst, danger, suspense, and twists and turns. The world building is captivating. This is a great second chance romance. Marina Barrett and Theo Sinclair did an excellent job bringing these characters, and this story to life. I enjoyed it.

Incredible romantic suspense!
Always fantastic romantic suspense, Nicole Blanchard brings another couple to life. Meet Gwen and Callum. These two were together until Cal left for his mission. No question, his loyalty was to his country and to keep her whole, he knew it was best to make a clean cut. He never thought his brother, Ian would fall for her. The two were married only to have Ian die several years later. Now Cal is home for good, not only to help his aging parents, but to win Gwen's heart back. The two are a little awkward around each other, but as things evolve, their relationship does too. Their feelings never lost, the two quickly found each other, and now Cal wants nothing but forever. But Gwen holds a thought about Ian's death that could change everything. Is danger lurking? And what did Ian know to bring it home? This is the perfect mixture of broken characters with an incredible slow burn and the underlying danger that is lurking. I was mesmerized by this amazing story, with characters that are real, dealing with pain, guilt, grief, joy and love. Plus there is nothing better than bringing back characters from previous stories to make this a cohesive group, loyal to the core.
It's fantastic as the others in the series and it should not be missed.
Theo Sinclair and Marina Barrett could not have been better story tellers for this one. Sinclair proves Cal to be the broken soldier, with all the feels as he heals. His alpha tendencies to protect come through and his voice with the baby is priceless. Barrett is incredible as Gwen. She is torn, full of grief, wanting love and to move on. All the emotions are packed in her voice creating magic. These two are fabulous and this is a must listen!

a second chance romance
This was a new author for me. Easy as a standalone, as it was Book 6 in the series but it felt like the start of a new storyline.
The story was a bit more on the second chance, romance side and then the second half the suspense ramps up when strange things start happening and questions over husband's (Ian) death surface.
A bit of a cliffhanger with the story (not the couple) as it will continue with the next book.
Two new narrators for me - very enjoyable narration.
