The danger isn't in the water.
Working as a lifeguard at a Florida resort, Ned Kelly meets a woman he is wild about, the woman of his dreams. It feels perfect in every way - except that she is used to caviar and Manolo Blahniks, and he is used to burgers and flip-flops. She is a guest at the luxurious hotel - he lives above a garage.
So when Ned's cousin offers to cut him in on a rich deal he's been commissioned to execute, Ned can't turn him down. The plan is simple, just a fast break-and-enter. The risk is high, and the reward is even greater - $5 million. But on the night of the heist, something goes devastatingly wrong. Who will save the lifeguard?
Ned walks away from his job, his town, and the woman he's fallen in love with. Runs away, actually, knowing that only velocity and secrecy can save his life. But who is pursuing him? The FBI? Whoever sabotaged the heist? Or is it all somehow tied into his new love - and his oldest enemies?

A commute listen. The end was a little predictable, but that's okay the story was good not to stressful but enough to keep you coming back for more.

Not my favorite James Patterson book but still pretty good.

Lifeguard was a fun listen. James Patterson's books in general are just guilty pleasures. Narrator does a great job. I found myself looking forward to getting back in the car to listen in!

Loved this book. This is the first James Patterson I've heard. It kept me interested just like reading his books. It definetly made my work day go by so fast.

In true James Patterson fashion, this is a quick, fun story to listen to. I like listening to it at work when I have filing or the "boring, mundane" work to do. It made it go by a lot faster!
