Rolling 75

The Noire Brothers Series, Book 1

De: Brandy Hynes

Narrado por: Andi Eloise, Brandon Francis

La Lune Noire has a pulse. It rules apart from its owners. Backroom deals and electro swing. Extravagant parties and bootlegger tunnels. The walls have secrets. The doors have codes. Ashes and lies. White oak and screams. Champagne and delusions. Hope is the gateway to hell.

Ryker:

The house always wins. Unless it’s concerning Mercy Phillips. My brothers and I own La Lune Noire, a resort and casino that caters to the criminal underworld. To them, we’re kings. To her, I’m the friend she left behind. Some say absence makes the heart grow fonder. For me, it bred obsession. Three years searching. One offer she can’t refuse. Countless rolls of possibilities. Cognac. Contracts. Coming home. And someone lurking in the shadows, playing us all. But the house will win again. She’s always been mine.

Mercy:

That’s not even my name anymore. Much less who I am.

Other than my precious baby boy, only shards remain of that girl. Scars from a monster. Until Ryker Noire—my best friend and a reminder of the worst night of my life—breezes into town with a tempting proposition. Three years running. One haunting phone call. Countless reasons to stay away. But the choice isn’t mine. What a Noire wants, a Noire gets. No matter the battle, hope is the last thing to die.

LOVED THIS AUDIO!

THIS is now my favorite Brandy Hynes book! I loved Rolling 75, and the audio was outstanding! Andi Eloise and Brandon Francis are absolutely amazing at their craft. They didn’t just voice Mercy and Ryker, they ARE Mercy and Ryker.

Let me shout this, I love Brandy’s writing style and her character development. From the start, I was giggling and enjoying everything about this book. This was such a great listen, and I cannot wait to get the next book in this series!

Huge thanks to Brandy and Valentine PR for an ALC of this book. I don't know what Brandy put in this story - catnip perhaps because I could NOT put it down. The New Orleans vibes were perfect and of course the Noire men have me fully intrigued. This was such a great setup for a brand-new series. I'm also a sucker for friends to lovers! It's the best!

The audio narration was phenomenal — the voice actors really brought this story to life! 10/10 recommend. 🖤

ummmm... Wooowwww. In love

• THOUGHTS:
Well.my little heart is happy. i really and I mean really enjoyed this book. I have been invested in Ryker and Mercy since Rena's story. I new it was gonna be Swoon worthy and all the things I have loved in Brandy's writing. Remi is the cutest little boy and the way the brothers are sigh this little man hell even with Mercy you can't help but feel jealous. I love Rykers possessive side. lol but what makes it equally amazing g and entertaining is Mercy's attitude right back! I feel Brandy Hynes books are a go in blind there are so many good ones! I cant wait and see where this series brings us next!! Bravo Brandy!!

Already addicted to this series

Finally dove into Brandy Hynes world & I am so glad I did. This being my first of her books, I never thought I was missing anything even though this is connected to her KORT series. This one has all the elements I love: mystery, suspense, MCs with a rich history that unravels piece by piece, so much yearning & of course, delicious spice.

This first book revolves around Ryker Noire, who has been pining for his best friend Mercy for 20 years. He's given her time & space to find herself and when tragedy struck & she disappeared, he spent the last 3 years searching for her. Now that he has her back, he's not letting her go & will do whatever it takes to keep her & her son safe back home, with him. He is the king of La Lune Noire & is ready for Mercy to take her place as his queen.

There is so much trauma between both Mercy & Ryker that is unveiled through flashbacks & dialogue. I absolutely loved Brandy's writing. These characters completely captivated me with the beautiful & a bit obsessive love story. Ryker is a man obsessed & is not afraid to show it. He is also patient to a point & I just loved his brand of crazy.

Listening to this in duet narration by Brandon Francis and Andi Eloise was absolutely phenomenal. They completely captivated & transported me into this world and took this story to a whole other level.

This is such a strong start to this series & all the Noire brothers featured have me itching for each of their stories. The painted picture of this dark society is intriguing, steamy & just has all the best aspects that set this up for a series I am sure to love.

Brandon Francis is a top tier narrator

Brandon Francis = the perfect Ryker. Also, this was my first book with Andi Eloise, and I must say, she hit it out of the park. Loved the story, the chemistry, the narration and the seggsiness of the setting. Can’t wait for the next book.

Honestly: french chef’s kiss

The audiobook is narrated in duet by Andi Eloise & Brandon Francis.

Content warnings
Murder
violence
domestic & emotional abuse

Ryker Noire is obsessive, possessive, jealous—and absolutely relentless.
Mercy is strong, witty, and scarred but determined to build a future for herself and her son.

I loved how the story balanced intense romance, family loyalty, and just enough suspense to keep me on edge.
And as ever the plot twist was mind blowing.

And if you haven’t read the KORT series, I am not judging you. But why are you still reading my comment instead of this?

Fantastic story and narration

All of Brandy’s books are fantastic. The start to this new series is no exception! If you like dark romance and suspense, it’s a must read!

Mercy and Ryker

Rolling 75 is the first book in the new Noire Brothers series. This is a beautiful story about second chances, everlasting love and family. There are a lot of secrets, lies, intrigue, suspense, mystery and some horrible villains. Something happened to Mercy about three years ago. She decided to disappear with her son-away from Ryker. He has found them now and refuses to let them go. Ryker has loved Mercy forever. Can/will she love him? The duet narration by Andi Eloise and Brandon Francis was phenomenal. Andi Eloise was positively delightful as sweet sassy Mercy. I could feel her pain, fear, sadness, uncertainty as well as her happiness, intelligence, spunk, “mother bear”personality and love through her voice. Brandon Francis as morally gray Ryker was absolutely divine. His love for Mercy and Remy was palpable. His low, sexy sultry tone was swoon worthy. The tone he used for the villain eerily perfect for that character. These two extraordinarily talented voice actors brought this story to life masterfully. They truly embodied these characters. I highly recommend listening to this masterpiece.

Perfection

New to me author.

Thank you to the author and VPR for the gifted ALC!

I saw this one going around on SM and checked out the synopsis and it sounded perfect for me! And it did not disappoint! The narrators Brandon Francis and Andi Eloise were fantastic for these characters!

Ryker and Mercy are a friends to lovers done so well! It’s usually not my fave trope, but when an author does it this well I melt for it! The fact that it’s set in NOLA just made it that much more special! The vibes for this are dark and sensual, with a dash of mystery. Ryker’s love for Mercy is what most people dream of and his character rocked it! Ryker is there and Mercy just had to catch up. I loved how he and his brothers are with Remy. I love a man who loves a child that while biologically isn’t is, is in every way. There are scenes when Ryker pulls out his possessive side and they will melt your heart and other things.

I love the family dynamics with all these brothers, and can’t wait to get to know more of them. I will definitely have to go back and read the Kort series! This world is intoxicating!
