Resumen del Editor

Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have.

Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

It's when a woman, claiming to have been my mother’s best friend, arrives to take me home with her that questions begin to surface. My father had rarely spoken of my mother. She’d died when I was a toddler. Having no other option, I trust this stranger and am thrown into a world of mansions, racing horses, extravagance, and him.

It’s true that there's a thin line between love and hate. But there's an even thinner line between truth and lies.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Ingrid Greene plunges listeners into a Southern world of wealth, horse racing, and power [...] listeners will be on the edge of their seats with the audiobook’s cliff-hanger suspense."—Audiofile Magazine

First Abbi Glines series I’ve ever been disappointed in

Ive been a huge AG fan for years and her books have always had a perfect balance of story line, character development and heat! But I listened to the first two books in this series and could barely get through the second one because of all the gratuitous sex. I like sizzle but her sex scenes began to feel like just page fillers there were so many of them. This story line had so much potential but it got boring quickly. Maybe Abbi got a bit lazy or maybe it’s just me. I’ll continue to reread her Rosemary Beach books and I’ll always have a Rush Crush but this series didn’t do it for me.

Good First Listen

This is my first book by Abbi. I had been wanting to read her books for a while. But when I met her this spring, I made sure to move her books up on my list.

I listened to this audio and enjoyed it even though it was only a female narrator. Ingrid does really well with doing this book and both POVs. There were not many POVs from the male, so that made it better.

I really liked the characters and their story. It was easy to follow, and the characters are all likable.

This is a great start to a series and will hook you. You will not be able to stop at one book. This one ends on a cliffhanger of sorts, and you will want to know what happens.

Smokeshow

I enjoyed reading the book but I hate cliff hangers. I love series but I like for them to finish the book. I’m also not big on books about mobsters. I hope they aren’t into selling drugs. They didn’t really get into exactly what kind of mob they are.

I loved the story.

The story itself was good. I love the characters. But I really wish they'd used a male narrator for the male character.

I’ve pre-ordered book 2

Extremely well written. I could not stop listening. I would give it a five if it had been recorded with both female and male narrators. The female is very good though.

Worth the wait

I have been waiting months for this audio release and it did not disappoint. The story was classically addictive Abbi. The narration can make or break and this one was surprisingly solid. Bring on Book 2!

Wow.!

I can’t wait for book 2.! Literally listened to this book in one sitting.! Narration was good.!

I needed this book~

so so good~ It has been a while since I have listened to a really good book that pulled me in and one I did not want it to end. I can not wait for the rest of the books to come out. You won't be disappointed with Smokeshow!

Not my favorite.

I feel like this book was soooo vague. Very unrealistic. I like Abbi Glines and I'll probably listen to the next book when it's released due to the cliffhanger but this book was really underwhelming to me.

Cliffhanger?? WHATT?

This book kept me guessing the entire time! Bad boy Blaze keeps you guessing and until it’s revealed at the end, I wasn’t sure I liked him at all! Then…..a cliffhanger! Can’t wait for book 2!
