Targeted

Narrator Sophie Eastlake has her hands full with this romantic suspense, which is heavy on action and romantic tension. Sophie Moreno finds herself on the run with mysterious NSA agent Jack Stone after discovering the company she works for is involved in arms smuggling. Eastlake reads at a slow pace, letting the action build. She delivers Jack's voice in a deep, confident tone, while Sophie has a higher-pitched voice, with more emotion in her dialogue, which even includes some Spanish exclamations. The sexual tension is palpable between Jack and Sophie, and Eastlake's reading doesn't diminish the focus on their relationship in the face of danger and betrayal.
