Publisher's summary

A man who lost his future...

Macon Miles knows what it means to make sacrifices for his country. Married to his high school sweetheart, he once had a promising future in the military and everything seemed complete. All that changed when a routine patrol in Afghanistan turned into a nightmare. When the dust settled, Macon had lost his career, his wife, and his leg. Lost and alone, his only comfort comes from his newfound love of cooking. When his estranged brother, Adam, offers him a new home and a chance to work at a friend's restaurant in Dallas, it's an offer he can't refuse.

A woman searching for the past...

Allyson Jones made her foster mother a deathbed promise. She would find out what really happened to Ronnie in Afghanistan. Ally doesn't believe the army's reports about her foster brother's death, and she knows only one man can tell her what really happened - Macon Miles. Following him to Dallas, she gets a job working alongside him at Top, Sean Taggart's decadent new restaurant. She is sure Macon is hiding something about Ronnie's death, and she'll do whatever it takes to unravel the mystery.

When circumstances force Macon and Ally together, their chemistry is hotter than any dish at Top. But when Ally's deception is exposed and the truth about Ronnie's death is revealed, will they be able to reclaim the love they've lost?

loved it

I loved this book when I saw that there was a book out with Adams brother I couldn't wait to hear it. I loved that a lot of the original characters were in this book and lived that Ian was there to bring a bit of humor to this story. don't know how many times I had to apologize for laughing out of the blue at work were I get to listen to my audible books on my headphones.
macon,s character was so inspiring with all that he went through and over came, and how ally was strong enough to open herself up and submit. the only thing that I would change about this story is the narrator not that he was bad but I prefer Mr Ryan west.

AWESOME!!!

I really enjoyed Luscious: Masters and Mercenaries: Topped, Book 1.

Lexi Blake has the real talent of putting romance, fire and sex + add some action into the mix of her storylines and you're intrigued.

Topped: Book 1, added something else to the mix. The two main characters have secrets that may hurt them both. Will their relationship hold up if the secrets get out?

I still have so many more of Lexi Blake books to listen to before I can say I've caught up to present day. But, so far the books I have listened to by Lexi, have not been a disappointment.

Lance Greenfield is the narrator in "Luscious" and he did a very fine job at it. So, hats off to you Lexi and Lance, I'm on my way to listening to: "Just One Taste," (Masters and Mercenaries: Topped Book 2.)

An amazing military romance

This has a tragic story, but so very real life. It’s based on what so many of our wounded heroes face when they return home. I wouldn’t really consider it a branch off series, since it has all the characters from the main series. It does contain a very happily ever after. Greenfield is a good narrator, but bring back Ryan West.

Great story and performance

I hadn’t heard this narrator before and I really liked him. Took off one star because they use the wrong name about 5-6 times, calling the hero Macon my his brother’s name, Miles. It took me out of the story. Other than that, great Lexi Blake story as usual!

Great read-Narrator not so much

Great book but the narrator was not that good. The previous books by Lexi Blake are great and I wish they had used the same narrator for this one.

Narrator threw me off

I mean no offense to the narrator but after going from Ryan to this guy it kinda wrecked the story for me he wasn’t terrible but he wasn’t super great.

Dense, intense, and satisfying

The author has explored a number of very interesting personalities in this volume, showing that she has a very clear understanding of human motivations and how multiple types of abandonment, the withdrawal of love, betrayal, and PTSD can effect and warp those motivations. This novel has been very skillfully written, and is well worth you time and attention.

Love the story the narrator's OK

I really like the series. Not a big fan of this narrator. Sebastian and York does a better job of narrating. He does a couple the other books in the series. They are fantastic.

Why isn’t this narrated by Ryan West?

Excellent story, excellent characters, but definitely thrown off by the narrator. Not that he’s bad, but it’s not the same as all the other books and I really missed Ryan West’s voice.

Didn't care for the narration...

The story is good not great. The narrator changed... can't say I enjoyed this book like the others.

Enjoy!
