The Playbook of Emma

The Killers Next Generation, Book 2

De: Brynne Asher

Narrado por: Sean Masters, Emma Wilder

The most epic day of my life got even better when I ran into my brother's best friend and my first crush, Jack Hale.

He's still just as charismatic, charming, and larger than life. Those skills come in handy as a sports agent whose biggest client is the country's most popular football player. When I land a career-changing interview after the big game, our worlds collide in a Vegas bar.

That's when our meet-cute turns into a celebration.

One night.

One perfect night.

Until the next morning when his famous client turns infamous. A scandal to end all scandals explodes into a media nightmare. And since I'm the new darling of sports broadcasting, our worlds collide again… only this time, not in bed.

Jack needs me, and I can't say no to Jack in anything. Who would've thought that would put a target on my back?

Help from old friends and a secret organization might not be enough this time.

In the end, the only way to survive is to save each other.

Even if it means throwing out the playbook.

Emma and Jack

Ever since Levi’s book I have loved Jack. This book just sealed it. Jack is the absolute best. I have never laughed so hard at the banter between Jack and Emma. I still love the Homies….Jack and Emma were perfect for each other. This book just sucks you in from the beginning and holds you to the very end. The voices were absolutely perfect.

Great book!

Jake Hale is one of my favorite characters, and Sean Masters did a fantastic job bringing him to life!

dual narration, cute story

I really enjoyed this story. I've been thinking about it a lot. a lot happened in this story. no 3rd act breakup. both narrators did amazing great job, dispite it being dual narration. I really liked these characters.

Loved this story

Loved bringing all the stories together. Jack was amazing and Emma shows that she is definitely Daddy Asa's daughter. Listened in one day. couldn't put it down.

❤️❤️

Love love love ❤️ It makes me want to start all over with the Killers ❤️ You have done it again Brynne Asher

Jack & Emma are BRINGING The Banter AND The Steam in This Fun New Audible!

I ABSOLUTELY ADORED the narrators for The Playbook of Emma by Brynne Asher! Sean Masters sounds exactly like I imagined Jack to sound in my head when I read the book earlier, and there's a part where he does the voice for Erika - Emma's younger brother Knox's much older girlfriend, and it is perfection! His voice for Erika is slimy and snake like, and easy to imagine her taking advantage of the young man in question.

The narrator for Emma, Emma Wilder, has a voice that is grown up and sultry and did not at all remind me of a high school Emma at all which is excellent! Also when she read the part of Asa, Emma's father, it didn't sound like she was a woman pretending to be a man, her narration was always very authentic.

This book is one of my favorites by Brynne, kind of a catch between a RomCom and a Romantic Suspense at the same time. I love listening to Crew and the gang give Jack grief about finally being with Emma, and listening to their friend and fellow Homie member Mason give it right back is hilarious!! Grady and Jack going back and forth at each other is about as funny as it can be while listening to Emma scramble to keep "Deep Throat" on the phone is at times suspenseful, and creepy knowing this guy has already kidnapped her out of broad daylight.

The sex is STEAMY given that the two of them apparently have waited since high school to get with each other, never knowing if they'd have that first chance. Thankfully Brynne keeps them out of New Adult territory, both of them are in their mid to late twenties and have secure jobs and are not still in college.

If you enjoy Steamy Romantic Suspense with a Sports Romance Vibe then this is the Audio for you!! I don't know if there will be more of the Homies getting together, but we could always hope for Mason, The Chicken Man's story next!

Another great by Brynne Asher

So great to get into the next generation! I loved great personalities and including the original characters in the Killers series.

All the stars for this and love for this book!

To start, I don’t read a lot of New Adult romance. It’s just not my thing. However, when it’s the next gen of one of my absolute favorite series, I will run to read it. This did not disappoint. The next gen series of The Killers is EXCEPTIONAL (Jack approved use of all caps. IYKYK). This is book 2 of the series and can be enjoyed as a standalone. Personally, I highly recommend reading The Chemistry of Levi beforehand. It will completely enhance your experience with Emma and Jack’s story.

Emma is Asa’s daughter (from Gifts) and Jake is Levi’s best friend (from Chemistry of Levi). He was her first kiss at 15 in a barn surrounded by goats. Years later, he’s several more firsts for her both emotionally and physically.
Emma is a sideline reporter for the Championship Game and snags an interview with the MVP immediately after. Jack is a sports agent who represents the same MVP. They spend time at a bar in Vegas getting caught up that leads to an amazing night. Everything changes when they wake up to a scandal regarding Jack’s client the next morning. This is where the wild ride, that is Jack and Emma’s adventure, really begins. And what a wild, fun, steamy, riveting ride it is.
Jack may be an up-and-coming sports agent who’s grown up. He shows you can’t take the funny, charming, trouble making boy out of the man. He’s Jack 2.0 now with an intensity, drive, fierce protectiveness and focus that is incredibly attractive. Emma has grown up to be a chip off the old block and holds her own. She’s smart, strong, loyal, gives as much as she gets and is the perfect match for Jack.

Sean Masters and Emma Wilder nailed this narration. They captured the personalities of both these characters and brought an otherwise already fantastic story, up another level.

Their story is action-packed, funny, emotional, captivating and pure entertainment from start to finish. What’s not to love when you have the chance to revisit your favorite group of ‘middle aged bada$$es’ or the resurrection of the Homies? I will sign up for that every time.

Bravo Brynne!! All the stars for this book and I hope we see more of this next generation.

Fantastic!

I was absolutely immersed in this story! I loved Jack and couldn’t wait for his story! His chemistry with Emma was off the charts. From the minute these two reconnect, the narrators captured the fire and connection between them.
Emma was totally an independent spitfire and I absolutely loved seeing the growth of her character. I loved all the interactions with not just Jack, but all the characters and let’s face it getting all the killers, including Daddy Asa was just the icing on the cake.
I wish I could give this more than five stars, absolutely amazing and the narrators knocked it out of the park

Sooooooo Gooooood!!!!!!

I’ve been waiting for this one for what seems like forever. The Killers series was amazing but mostly serious. The Next Gen books have been so good and have had a nice thread of humor. I’m hoping this isn’t over! The books are so good!
