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!

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.

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!

WOW… 75 ⭐️ PERFECTION

You know it’s a good book when you’re not ready to say goodbye to the characters you’ve come to love.. to the story that had you gripped from the start.. to the hero and heroine whose beautiful and damaged love story was anything but smooth.. and definitely not to the intoxicating shades of gray the Noire brothers rule in. Brilliant, sweet, exciting, sexy, deeply emotional, suspenseful and all kinds of tear your heart out highs and lows in between as obsessed Ryker tries desperately to coax back the love of his life in an “all roads lead to you” battle to make ‘fake’ become their forever.

Worth a credit? One hundred percent YES. The world-building was perfect, their rollercoaster was emotionally charged, their love was fought for, filled with chemistry and surrounded by broken bloody pieces of their shared catastrophic past and I couldn’t look away. The duet-style voice acting by Andi and Brandon was perfect as their characters each slowly healed from the terrible night that shattered their friendship a few years previously. The pace, friction, fireworks and build was seductive as they slowly came back together as friends and then as lovers.. and the King finally gets his Queen.

Love

Love love love!!! So good, sweet, heartfelt, swoon worthy, and HOT! Can’t wait to read the other brothers stories ❤️

Narration was excellent! Fun, sexy and entertaining!

✨🎧 ALC Review✨

Umm… I’m obsessed! This was my first book by Brandy Hynes and I’m officially hooked.

First, let’s talk about the overall vibe—it had this dark-ish, sexy underworld feel. La Lune Noire… gahhh I seriously wanted to teleport there. This story had a bit of mystery, the BEST banter, and the kind of sexy tension that had me giggling, sweating, and screaming throughout 😂

This audiobook was duet narration and it was so well done.

Ryker—morally gray, possessive, and with a heart only for her—was voiced by Brandon Francis and 🥵 let me tell you… HOTTT.

And then there’s sweet Mercy, a single mom and lawyer who cannot, for the life of her, get idioms right—narrated by Andi Eloise. She was perfect for this role!

The narration made everything hotter, steamier, and more entertaining. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave this world. And the spice? 😮‍💨🤌🏻🔥

I cannot wait for the next book!

Huge thanks to Brandy Hynes + Valentine PR & Literally Management for this early listen 🫶🏻

Literally OBSESSED with this world!

I was completely and totally unprepared for how much I was going to LOVE this book. My very first venture into Brandy’s writing and when I tell you I CAN’T WAIT to go back and read her backlist, I’m literally starting it right now. These Noire brothers and this world!? I am BEYOND obsessed. Ryker Noire, I STAYED drooling over this man…the ENTIRE BOOK. Man obsessed? Yep. Forced engagement? Sure. Criminally corrupt? You betcha. Did I love it? EVERY. SECOND. OF. IT. Let’s say it all together once again, my favorite saying…..FRIENDS 👏🏻 TO 👏🏻 LOVERS 👏🏻 IS 👏🏻 ELITE 👏🏻. This was such an interesting take on my favorite trope! I can’t say I’ve read it in a morally grey situation and I’m going to be honest, definitely didn’t hate it. When the “friend” is obsessed with her to the point he goes and FINDS HER and brings her back home to him!? Sign me up, IMMEDIATELY. The TENSION girl, Brandy, you had me lit uppppp with that first kiss. Goodness LAWD 🥵 and Brandon Francis narrating Ryker and all his filthiness? Match made in HEAVEN. My Mercy girl was the QUEEN he always knew she would be, scars and all. Andi Eloise captured her grit and strength impeccably and the passion that they had with one another was palpable in their performance. Absolutely INCREDIBLE. Cannot WAIT for the next trip back to La Lune Noire. Count me all the way in! 5/5 stars!
