About This Audiobook
Grayson walked away from the special forces after a devastating betrayal, building a carefully divided life in New York: boxing trainer by day, mafia hitman by night. It is a life of controlled darkness that finally feels like freedom, until the one woman who despises him manages to dismantle every wall he has constructed around himself. The second book in Luna Mason's Beneath the Mask series, "Detonate" is a brooding, high-stakes romance where two people who should never intersect find themselves bound together even as the danger around them closes in.
The dual narration from Maxine Mitchell and Robert Hatchet suits Mason's alternating POV structure well. Mitchell brings genuine warmth and vulnerability to Maddie's perspective, while Hatchet delivers Grayson's guarded intensity with convincing restraint. The contrast between the two voices heightens the push-and-pull tension at the story's core. At just over eight hours, the pacing moves briskly without sacrificing emotional weight, making it easy to consume in a single extended sitting.
