Illicit

The Agents

De: Brynne Asher

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Rose Dioro

My wannabe friends-to-lovers story is an embarrassing disaster.

It all started when I took a chance on love and made a move on the older guy I’ve been obsessed with for years. I experienced something so humiliating, I’m desperate to bleach it from my brain forever.

I’ve spent every day since pretending it didn’t happen. That it didn’t matter. That it didn’t hurt.

Rocco Monroe came to live with my family when he was eighteen. His bedroom was across from mine. We were friends. He became the son my father never had.

When I tried to change our status, he shut me down. He said I was illicit … a forbidden drug formulated just for him.

And that’s saying something since he’s a DEA agent.

So I cut him out … severed all ties.

What I didn’t know was that while I was trying to forget him, he became addicted.

To me.

The moment he found an opening, he pushed his way back into my life.

But my shattered heart might not survive another break.

I have two choices.

Keep my orderly, Rocco-free life.

Or risk everything for the chance to have it all.

That is if our families don’t kill us first.

You know… figuratively.

And literally.

My favorite of the series!

This series was unexpected and so much fun. These are interconnected stories, but they can be read as a standalone. I recommend reading all of them to fully appreciate the banter.

I’m normally a dark romance gal, but this series is a great palette cleanser. I haven’t read a series it (DEA Agents), which made it more enjoyable.

This is my favorite in the series. We finally got Rocco’s story and it did not disappoint. The love between this found family and the banter, oh the banter had me laughing out loud.

Rocco’s story is beautiful

Love the character. Rocco’s story was everything I had hoped it would be would be. Love the entire series.

My favorite of the series!!

Obsessed even more with this couple in audio! Illicit by Brynne Asher was an emotional, heart-stopping, saucy suspenseful ride that I couldn’t stop listening to! Rose Dioro and Jason Clarke perform this audiobook in addictive dual narration. This may be my favorite performance from them in this series, and let’s be honest…I’ve LOVED them all. Rose's soft, melodic voice captures Teagan’s inquisitive passions, conflicted emotions, and desires for Rocco brilliantly. Jason’s deep, rumbly timbre encompasses Rocco’s never ending resilience, protective nature, and love for Teagan making him super swoony. Plus, Jason gives us some Cajun accent in this one too! (Call me impressed!) Both narrators created the perfect amount of longing, tension, and HEAT between Teagan and Rocco. I just loved their performances so much!

Overall, I LOVED this book. If you are a fan of a hot protective DEA agent, a dedicated investigative journalist, going undercover, begging for kisses, college graduations, risky missions, a found family, secret romance, nosey loving agents, hilarious text banter, shower steam, close proximity, a jaw-dropping climax, and a HEA that leads to the best life ever, then you will love Teagan and Rocco’s story. I always look forward to more from Brynne Asher.

Loved it all!

The story was great and portrayed even better. Read and listened to all 4 books in this series. the banter between the agents and spouses was so funny.

Best of the series!

Too much to love to mention, the story, the characters, the narration, the suspense, the humor… laughed so many times!!!

Smokin HOT Friends To ENEMIES To Lovers with a sloooow Burn!!

Jason Clarke and Rose Dioro absolutely SLAYED in Bynne Asher's ILLICIT! I loved Jason Clarke's tone of voice and his phrasing with Teagan made me the happiest in this series. Even during his moments of irritation, the calm in his character and voice came right on through and kept me settled.

Teagan is obviously in love with Rocco from the very beginning, and I love Rose's voice for her, they're just absolutely EXQUISITE! I love their meet (not) cute again, and how much Rocco has Teagan has shaking in her boots (and vice versa) when each of them is talking to Robicheaux.

The convos between Rocco and the guys, Rocco and Tim and Rocco and himself are absolutely masterfully written and HILARIOUS!

ILLICIT is an absolute gem and Rose and Jason are a treasure to listen to, I never tire of Brynne Asher's Audio Books!! I cannot wait for the next one!

Another thrilling and emotional ride

Illicit is another unputdownable book by Ms Asher. I’m sorry to see this series end, these people have crawled into my heart and I’m obsessed with them. I love the playful banter, the suspense keeping me on the edge of my seat, and the steam generated by Rocco and Teagan. Jason Clarke and Rose Dioro are perfect as the narrators giving a performance that kept me glued to my AirPods. Brynne Asher is a master storyteller who consistently captives me and surprises me with twists and turns, heartbreaking emotion, and of course, the support system of found family. A fantastic story!

Love the agents!

Absolutely love Brynn Ashers story telling! The banter between the agents had me laughing out loud!

Excellent Story

I loved every minute of the story. The author does not disappoint. Looking forward to the next one.

Jason & Rose blew me away

Jason Clarke & Rose Dioro knocked this whole series outta the part, but there was something about their narration of Illicit that blew me away! Their voices are the perfect compliment to each other & to the story.

I’m incredibly sad to see an end to the Agents, however this is Brynne Asher, so I know whatever she has in store for us next will be a brilliant work of art.

Rocco…can I just say…I LOVE HIM. I’m fairly certain I’ve claimed each and every MMC of BA’s, but I really mean it this time. He turned his life from lemons to lemonade and I’ve been waiting on the sidelines, rooting for his happily ever after since Possession. In Brynne Asher fashion, it didn’t come easy, but boy oh boy was it worth everything in the end.

Then there’s Teagan. Holy Moses! I wanna be her when I grow up. That’s all I’m gonna say on the subject. JUST LISTEN TO THE DANG BOOK!

There wasn’t anything I didn’t love about Illicit. From gun, to knives, to text conversations that have you cracking up, this book deserves 10 gold stars and then some.
