Loved this so much!

Oh My Gosh! This book or shall I say three books were absolutely amazing. It grabbed me from the beginning and kept me mesmerized. I thought three was the end but was shocked and pleasantly happy to find out there is more.! (Lots more!)
Lucky is an ex-con and serving time in a special task force. He is about to be freed and has to train his replacement, Beau. Sparks fly and soon they end up as more than partners in the field but will Lucky give up his chance at freedom and stay on the team?
Each of these books has a different plot but all are connected in the scheme of things.
You do need to read in order.
Book 1 Diversion
I’m Book one we meet Lucky, Beau and Walter and learn what Diversion is. There is lots of action, twists and turns and nail biting suspense. And the sexy’all tension us hot!

Book2:Collusion. You do have to read ( or listen which I highly recommend) in order.
This book is a new adventure that connects to the past case. More twists and we get to see a different side of lucky. More nail biting suspense and more sex! This one is just as good as the last.
Book3 Corruption
This is book 3 of the Diversion series.
You do have to read ( or listen) in order.
Corruption picks up with Lucky and Beau. They receive new training and Lucky gets a promotion. Beau gets his first solo deep undercover job.
There is so much action. The plot is intriguing and there are twists plus a twists that could bring up ghosts from Lucky’s past.
Oh boy I cannot wait for the next books!

I had to stop, purely awful writing

I feel generous giving this two stars. This was awful. I won't be continuing with the series.

The characters were childish and stupid. The writing is just bad. The story was all over the place and often made little to no sense. I hated how they'd be in a work meeting, and all Lucky did was slobber over other characters, especially Beau, in disgusting and inappropriate ways. Lucky was just an unending jerk. Things would just be thrown into the story randomly regardless of whether they fit what was happening or the story at all. Like suddenly Beau was abused as a child because ... I have no idea.

The weird thing is that the part about pharmaceuticals, and their distribution is really pretty accurate. I was excited to read about that, but I hated everything else enough that I stopped caring. Plus, that part of the story got lost anyway.

Audio: pretty decent accents and character delineation, but I'm sure it also highlighted the neverending weaknesses.

Not my normal kind of book. So glad I branched out

When I first started listening to this set, I wasn't sure I would like it. I tend to like things sappier and when my characters struggle less. This series, however, changed my mind, I am so glad I stuck with it and finished it. It takes a while for Lucky to warm up to Bo, the hot steamy battle for dominance and taking what each one wants was amazing. All the action for each character made this one of my favorite books I've listened to in a long time. Great books. Totally left me hanging for the next book in the series. I can't wait to continue on and see where it takes Bo and Lucky.

Really Hard to Like Lucky

By the conclusion of Chapter 9 in the first book, we had enough of Lucky's background to understand how he came by his skill set, why he doesn't trust other people, and especially why he doesn't trust lovers...and it wasn't enough. He was still a jerk. This was a DNF for me.

Fantastic plots and totally unique

This box set has the the first three stories of the series. The stories are told from a single perspective, which is unusual in the romance genre, but extremely well written. The plots of each story are the SNB (think DEA for the southeastern US) looking for ways to defeat the bad guys selling/stealing drugs - and that plot is extremely thorough and exciting. The cocky, jerky, ex-con main character (that you’ll LOVE) is the only ‘voice’ in the book, and we see Lucky’s extremely slow change from cocky a$$hole to someone who cares about, well, a few very specific people. The relationship with Beau is a hard won thing- mostly because of insecurities and Lucky’s unwillingness to show his real self, but also because Beau is caring, kind, and patient. But It seems like a real life, organic relationship with truly accurate ups and downs. Darcy Stark is phenomenal as narrator of this series! I bought the entire audio series because the writing is SO good, and Stark is amazing!

Diversion Box Set. Volume 1

Omg this audio book was absolutely positively amazing. I would highly recommend this audio book.

Not Impressed

I was looking forward to this series. I'm in the middle of book 1 and find myself waiting for.... something (?). The premise is interesting and Ms. Winters seems knowledgeable on the ins and outs of the illegal pharmaceutical trade.... something is missing. First, I don't find Beau's character real believable. He seems too soft to be a seasoned marine of four years. It could be the narrator's choice of voice for him as well. He comes across as almost female. Not a seasoned vet. He also comes across as timid and weak. Allowing himself and his brother to be tied up , spread eagle by a father...yeah, no. I don't know about you but if anyone tried that with me or mine someone would be seriously injured and it wouldn't be me. Talk about taking it lying down. Hope it gets better. Lucky has an interesting and plausible backstory. Beau, not so much.

I love mystery

and I love cops who try to solve these mysteries. I liked these books but did not love them, not. big fan of too much lusting and horny inner thoughts. Having said that yeah good series.

Oh wow

Stunning characters omg loved it. As a read it was sooo good but listening to it was amazing. The narrator did a amazing job bring the characters to life. Can’t wait for more.

Like the ebook

The performance from the narrator is very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening, but not more then twice a year.
it's like a B
