About This Audiobook
When Allison Fletcher goes undercover in a Denver bar as part of a murder investigation, she doesn't expect her assigned protection to be Jonah Blackhawk — who is simultaneously the most attractive and most problematic man she could possibly need to work with. He's her father's old associate, walks a line between legitimate and otherwise, and has made it clear that he doesn't observe social rules that inconvenience him. Nora Roberts's fifth Night Tales entry is a short, efficient romantic thriller with the classic Roberts blend of sexual tension and genuine plotting.
Kate Rudd narrates the Night Tales series with the easy authority of long familiarity — her handling of the push-pull dynamic between Allison and Jonah keeps the tension credible without making either character foolish. At just under six hours, Night Shield is a compact and satisfying entry in the series, characteristic of Roberts at her most economical.
