Second Shield
By: Stacy Eaton
Narrated by: Haven R. Powers
Stacy Eaton pulled me into this and had me listening all night! What a story! Mack is on the case, investigating the recent stolen car ring in her town. New to the department, rookie Drew Bradley is working with her as he acclimates to the job. Being twelve years her junior, the chemistry is palpable, but work and romance don’t mix, especially with a “kid”. As the investigation begins, there are roadblocks and danger lurking around every corner. Unpredictable and exciting, this story had me on the edge. The element of danger, the blooming romance, the secrets and deceit are all building into a culmination of unexpected results! It’s complex, it had me constantly trying to figure out the secrets and the answers, and I found my heart racing as the suspense was building. This is my kind of book and has left me wanting to know more of Mack and Drew’s story!
Haven R Powers is a new to me narrator, and I enjoyed her narration. Great pacing and good voices had me invested, but I loved her ability to build the feeling of suspense. It’s a fantastic listen!

Fantastic Story & Listen Gripping & Intense!
Second Shield
By: Stacy Eaton
Narrated by: Haven R. Powers
Stacy Eaton does it again, she delivers another fantastic book, I love how she manages to balance several genres into her novels and perfect each one of them with her creative and well thought out storylines. This is what you call an addictive page turner, one you can not put down because you need to know what happens next. I enjoy Ms. Eaton writing style and how the story is told in alternating POV by the two lead characters, Detective Sgt. Mackenzie McAllister aka Mack and Detective Drew Bradley. Drew is newly assigned to Mack’s squad and she will be his training partner as he learns the workings of the squad. Mack notices him and how good looking he is, there is an instant attraction but he is much younger and she is his boss so the attraction would not go anywhere. Drew can hold his own and it turns out there is more to the man and behind his shield. Mack is working on a complex case that is involving stolen cars which escalates to more. This book is thought-provoking and keeps you on your toes, you know there is something going on behind the scenes but you do not know what or who is involved. The story is cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, both personal and crime drama, as well as mystery, some angst, action, twists and turns, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions and sine hot romance. Stacy Eaton, thank you for another fantastic novel, I am looking forward to what comes next for Mack and Drew.
And for the terrific narration, Haven R. Powers did a great job bringing the characters and their story to life. She set the perfect tone for the story, captured the character’s emotions and projected them into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the great listen
Audiobook version
This author is a master of getting the reader/listener, involved in the story from the beginning to the end.
The story revolves around Mac/Mackenzie McAllister and Drew Bradley.
Mac is a Detective Sergeant who is surprised and not too happy to be assigned to show the “new kid” the workings of their squat.
Mac is unaware that Drew is more than it seems, an FBI agent sent undercover to investigate the squad.
Sparks fly between the two which troubles Mac since Drew is 12 years younger.
Classic Ms. Eaton, the story is told in the POV of both characters.
In the midst of the action and danger, feelings develop.
I am not a fan of cliffhangers, so I was a little disappointed at the end. That said, I did enjoy this audiobook.
