Masters File
The Rider Files, Book 2
By: CB Samet
Narrated by: Tim Shafer
Romantic suspense is just so much fun to listen to. You get the thrilling action with a side of romance to make a wonderful story! CM Samet is fantastic at writing just this kind of book, and this second book in her Rider Files series is amazing. Jenna is a critical care doctor, divorced and finds herself as the payment for her ex-husband gambling debts. Who better to come to her aid but a man she met at her parents’ resort in Antigua. There was definite chemistry then, but not with Ryan employed by Rider’s Security, the two have a slow burn that ignites to full on passion. High suspense, thrilling action and a plot that is not only believable but kept my interest straight through. I love this series and will be watching for the next release.
Tim Shafer narrates this book. The level of his voice for me at times was hard to hear. I am not sure if it is the recording or the decibel that my ear just has difficulty with. He has a good pace and his voices are easy to distinguish from male to female.

A little adrenalin and romance to get your heart going. An excellent story, and great characters. I received a free review copy of the audio version of this book in exchange for an honest review.
C. B. Samet is becoming my go-to for romantic suspense when I want a heavier emphasis on the action, suspense, & thrills with strong female characters. I also enjoy that Ryan and Jenna get to really know each other, yes it’s insta-attraction but by the time the “I love yous” are shared I felt it a true reflection of their relationship. In typical Samet style all romantic scenes are closed door. While each Rider Files book is a stand alone with a complete story, there are secondary character arcs that run through and these are best read/listened to in order.
Jenna is a Critical Care doctor with a teenage son and an ex-husband with a gambling addiction. She meets Ryan while taking some time off at her parent’s Antiguan resort and he is on a low-key reconnaissance job. While things don’t work out for them there, they are later thrust into each other’s lives when Jenna’s ex offers her up as payment for his gambling debts. Neither has stopped thinking of the other in the interim.
I don’t want to spoil the plot points – but I really appreciated the numerous action scenes in this one spaced out with intermissions of calm where we get to know Jenna, Ryan, as well as their friends and coworkers better. It never feels like there is too much angst or drama, yet the story is still captivating. (so much so that I listened to it in one day!)
Samet is also building future story lines for Maxine & her son as well as the spunky blue-haired tech genius Claire. Less prominent and I don’t see any books for him yet – but I do hope Reece will get his own HEA. I’m eager to jump into the next book, McMillan File.
Tim Shafer’s narration was good. He gives all the characters their own voices, accents, and personalities. I always knew exactly who was talking.
After listening to Meridian File, I immediately purchased all four available Rider Files ebooks. However, I did receive a free copy of the audiobook from Story Origin and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Masters of Badass with a minor in romance
Ooh! Insanely suspenseful and cleanly romantic, Master’s File details a private security agency’s pro-bono efforts on behalf of a wronged ex-wife and her son. Mix high-level medical skills, high-level retrired Army Ranger skills, high-level tech/hacker skills, the Russian mafia, the Cuban mafia, a loser ex-husband with gambling debts and unlimited gall – the result is explosive! Explosive action. Explosive personal chemistry. And just plain explosives! Woo-eee, you are gonna love this book! It’s part of a series, but works perfectly as a stand-alone, except that once you’ve read it, you’ll want to read all the series… Thanks to Hidden Gem for the ARC, the thrills and the romance – this review is my personal, voluntary, and uncompensated recommendation: GET THIS BOOK!
Thank you C.B. Samet and thank you Hidden Gems! I did not read book 1, but I surely will. I will also go find every book this author has written and read it. I loved this book. It was a classy well done romantic suspense! If you like the erotic – spell it all out sex scenes, this is not the book for you, and it will be your loss. I felt the love, I enjoyed the suspense and I am hooked on following The Rider S.I> through all its up coming dilemmas. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Ryan and a strong competent Dr Jenna 🙂 . I hate Lucas, probably more than Ryder and Maxine. And whoa, hey Vladimir…. um not sure how your going to achieve your desire. Read the books, come get to know them.
