Craving Charlesia by P.J. Fiala

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A female operative with a point to prove.
A seasoned cop with a case to solve.
And the passion that ignites….

RAPTOR operative Charlesia Sampson is no damsel in distress. Surviving an explosion in the Army gave her more grit than glory, and now, she’ll destroy anyone who tries to hold her back. Dangerous missions are her forte. But when she’s arrested for murder, everything changes.

Finding Charly at the murder scene was difficult for Sam Bowers. But when the truth comes to light, Sam sees Charly differently. Together, they’re determined to uncover the murderer and find a missing child–all while denying their need for one another.

One thing is certain: the sexy detective is CRAVING CHARLESIA.

The heroine: Charlesia (a.k.a. Charly) – She works for RAPTOR, a civilian organization that goes after people who hurt children. Charlie is former military and lost her arm in combat, though she can do everything she did before and some things even better. She is so stunning that most people don’t even notice she is missing an arm because they are too busy looking at her face and body.

The Hero: Sam – he is a detective for the police department. He met Charly in the last book. He is like 6’9” tall, blond and built like a mountain. He is a good match for Charly who was former military and now is in a dangerous business. Charly was attracted to Sam from the start and he to her.

The Story: Charly is working a kidnapping case when she hears some noise from the house she is surveilling, then a gunshot. She finds a little boy chained up in the living room and a dead man next to him. Sam is the first detective on the scene. It turned out the little boy was actually a little girl named Olive that Charly had rescued before, only for her mother to sell her again.

I don’t know if I missed it in one of the previous books or what, but I wanted to find out more about RAPTOR. The last book did say that a bunch of the people that work there were unhappy with their previous jobs and all quit on the same day when they started RAPTOR. They also seem to always be helping or rescuing children, but I didn’t catch why the name RAPTOR in all caps, is it an acronym? If so what does it mean and why is every employee disabled in some way. Diego had severe PTSD, Van was blind in one eye and now Charly is missing one arm. The book does say that they are all disabled, but doesn’t mention why.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Rose Dioro and Troy Duran, two of my favorite narrators. Troy Duran has a deep, sexy voice which I really enjoy, and Rose has a light feminine voice and is great at showing her emotions through her voice. Both are always great, and they had been doing a terrific job on this series so far. The story and the romance are interesting and I liked both characters.
