Burning Ivy

The KORT Series, Book 1

De: Brandy Hynes

Narrado por: Mollie Stark, Sean Masters

Dandelion wishes. Grains of sand. Shooting stars. Butterfly kisses.

Murder and mothballs. Carnage and blood.

Black leather gloves and too many lilies.

Time can swallow her whole, and it’s almost up.

WELLS

She’s my mission. My prize. My obsession.

Ivy Kingston is the most wanted woman in the world for reasons she is completely oblivious to, reasons I intend to capitalize on.

She needs a husband to receive her inheritance, so I’m on the hunt for a wife. As long as it’s her.

I’m not who she thinks I am. But she has no idea who she really is either.

I’ll be her groom. Her keeper. Her lover. And quite possibly her demise.

IVY

People often underestimate me. They shouldn’t.

Gavin Wells is dreamy and delicious. Dark and mysterious. His world is exactly where I want to be.

But he’s got me in a choke hold of smoke and mirrors.

Someone should have warned him that burning ivy releases toxic spores.

Because I’m the spark who can reduce him to ashes.

Explosive

What a wonderfully written story. This blend of suspense, danger and sinful delight of romance between Wells and Ivy was explosive. It is heartbreaking yet able build up strength of each character and the plot. I loved it and cannot wait for the next one!

Edited to add:
I forgot to mention that Sean Masters and Mollie Stark did a fantastic job capturing the nuances and emotions of the characters. Not to mention the deep timber of Wells voice was enthralling. Even the banter between them flowed so well it almost felt like i was watching a movie.

I received an audio version of this ARC and voluntarily leave this review.

Loved this book

This is the first book I have read by brandy hynes and it was great the narrators were amazing. Can’t wait to listen to rest of this series!

Great story. Fantastic narration!

This book was awesome! Great story, and the narrators did fantastic! The build up was great. All the characters and personalities work well together. Great amount of spice, and love. Five stars!

So unexpectedly good

I haven’t really heard of this series but I’m so glad I gave it a chance. This book has all the right elements: strong plot, well developed characters, spice (authentic), all the drama, found family & like so many other things. I haven’t read the second one yet, but I’m so glad I have more books to read!

START THE SERIES Y'ALL

10/10 - ahhhh wow.

Four hotties protecting and ready to die for a baddie, every girls dream right? Maybe it's just me.

Don't get lost in the bad reviews, this book is truly GOOD and the audio version is chef's kiss. It's deep and there's so much to unpack. It's a slow burn in all the best ways. It's not spice after spice, there's twists, turns and emotion. Lots of suspense and 100% unpredictable.

The writing is great. I know we've all read the forgettable smut book with no depth and I would definitely not put this book in that category. Although the spice was spicyyyy.

Anddd if those who dnf'd after 20% would have kept going they'd have realized that the fmc is truly a badass undercover.

I wouldn't label this a "mafia romance". Secret society with lots of questions to answer.

My only cons for this book is the glamorization of the fmc being a virgin *sigh* so icky, but hey at least she's 23.
