Maverick Key: Hearts on the Line

A Small Town Romantic Suspense (The Maverick Key Series, Book 1)

De: Margot Keene

Narrado por: Andi Arndt, Gregory Salinas, Tim Paige, Brandon Francis, Angelina Rocca, Robert Fass, Greg Tremblay

Love is her deepest dive.

After her beloved brother Nathan dies in a tragic cave diving accident, Maddie leaves everything behind to start fresh in Maverick Key, hoping that the move to the cottage he left behind will help her heal from her grief. She feels immediately closer to Nathan in the small seaside town, but can’t shake the nagging suspicion that his death might not have been an accident–and that his cryptic notes may hint at something more. And then there's the brooding and widowed diver, Scott, who she can't get off her mind.

As fortune hunters and internet celebrity adventurer Wes Harrington descend on Maverick Key to explore Carter's Drop—the underwater cavern that claimed Nathan's life—Maddie is forced to confront her feelings for Scott and her unanswered questions about Nathan’s disappearance.

Wes might be a world-class charmer, but her slow-burning romance with Scott captures Maddie's heart–even if his protective nature might keep her from diving into the truth.

As a threatening storm descends on the Key, Nathan’s secrets are roiled like the angry seas, putting Maddie’s life and heart in danger as the past shows up at her front door.

Author’s Note: A beautiful, grief-stricken veterinarian is stripped of her usual sunshiny demeanor in the wake of her brother's death. When she encounters the brooding, widowed, former military diver who knew her brother well, she falls hard—and he falls harder. This first novel in the Maverick Key series blends steamy small-town romance with romantic suspense and diving adventure in an unforgettable seaside setting.

With Keene's exceptional writing skills and each of the talented narrators, this audible is a must have! I highly recommend to anyone who loves suspense, adventure, romance, mystery, and a story filled with emotion.

Amazing descriptions of every detail

This new author has awesome talent. Her story is captivating and had me immediately unwilling to put the book down. Her characters were real. I am looking forward to the next book in the series!

Cave Diving, Second Chance Romantic Suspense

As a Florida girl, certified scuba diver, and romantic suspense junkie, I had to give this book a try. It did not disappoint!
The book felt like reading an ensemble cast miniseries which lent well to the multi-cast audiobook production.
• Andi Arndt as Maddie Carter. I’ve listened to a lot of Andi Arndt performances, and I think my favorite part is her ability to sincerely portray her subject’s perspective through her voice. This is especially crucial to Maddie.
• Gregory Salinas as Scott Rickter. I have not heard a lot of Greg, and I’ve been missing out. His Scott is steady and warm and whispers a lot. Big fan.
• Tim Paige as Dr. Nathan Carter. We didn’t get a lot of Tim here, but he starts us out with the prologue, and it was wonderfully performed.
• Brandon Francis as Wes Harrington. I think this casting was perfect. Wes is a complex character; we get cocky fuckboy (expertly delivered) and serious dive instructor, to concerned friend and self-reflective.
• Angelina Rocca as Hannah Rodriguez. Angelina’s Hannah feels true to the story – she is a confidant and a voice of reason but also so fun. My ears perked up every time! Loved her other characters as well.
• Robert Fass as Dr. Garrett Harlow. I promise that finding your character irritating is a complement! You sounded exactly like how I read him in my head.
• Greg Tremblay as Mark Glassier. SIR. Well done.
I've never read a second chance romance book where you get to see the first shot and what makes it fall apart in the actual book in real time not in a flashback. I have to say on the reread I was way more team Scott. I loved ALL the performances in Chapter 28. Other than the end sequence, it’s my favorite.
This book is full of good little moments; the pacing is well done. There is adventure and explorations of grief. The main relationship was lovely. The romantic suspense was suspensing.
I can’t wait for the second book.
