Smoke Bomb

Smoke, Book 3

De: Abbi Glines

Narrado por: Gideon Frost, Marie Hawkins

Huck
Two places I never thought I'd be: a church and my little brother's funeral.
I was the one who was supposed to die first. Not Hayes.
He hadn't chosen my path. I took lives but Hayes had wanted to save souls.
Yet here I was drinking from a flask, around people that f-----g hated me, unable to take my eyes off the fiancé he'd left behind. My brother may have wanted to be a minister but he was going to marry a woman with the body of a porn star.

Trinity
It had taken me a while but I'd finally gotten on my feet after my fiancé's unexpected death. The first day on my new house cleaning job where I would make enough money to pay for college ended with a gag in my mouth, my hands tied behind my back and a gun to my head. Lucky for me I was taken alive while the rest of the household was shot and killed. My savior? My fiancé's older brother happened to be one of the men who'd murdered my new employer.

I'm now stuck in a house with three men who refuse to let me leave until it's safe. Huck hates me because he believes I lied to his brother. He humiliates me every chance he gets. But his cruelty doesn't affect me. I was beaten down long before I met Huck Kingston.

It's when I'm forced to pretend I belong to Huck in order to stay safe inside his world that the darkness in my soul finds an outlet I didn't know I needed.

Phenomenal forced proximity romance

I received this as an alc from Spark Fly Studios and I’m voluntarily leaving my honest review.

This was a phenomenal forced proximity romance. The story was to me a perfect example of how something that would clearly be red flags in reality can be totally okay in fiction. Huck was a walking red flag but I loved him. He was so unapologetic in his ways. Trinity was a real survivor and even when she felt the most broken, she would work through it. The storyline was so entertaining and I absolutely loved it.

Audiobook review: The story was narrated in duet style and it is not my favorite style of narration but both narrators did an exceptional job portraying the characters and I did thoroughly enjoy it.

Love the series

I have become a huge follower of this author. She writes in a manor that is easy to follow but she is also able to throw in some twists you don’t see coming. This series is no different and I highly recommend.

4.5 stars

For fans of Yellowstone and Sons of Anarchy you will love this book. Smoke Bomb can be read/listened as a standalone. This is Huck and Trinity's story. Huck finds himself at church and at his little brother's funeral. Two places he never thought he would be at. There Huck meets Trinity, his brother's fiancee.

On the first day of Trinity's new house cleaning job, she gets kidnapped. The rest of the household was shot and killed. Her savior is her fiance's older brother, who also happened to kill her new employer. Now she's under the roof of three men. Huck hates Trinity, but can't help the attraction he has for her.

I listened to a gifted copy of the audiobook and it's fantastic! Performed in duet narration by Marie Hawkins and Gideon Frost. Both were perfectly casted. They were phenomenal!! Marie is a new to me narrator. I love her voice! The trauma that Trinity went through was so heartbreaking. I thought Marie showed Trinity's apprehensions and timidness very well. Gideon was truly amazing!! His range of voices was exceptional. He had a different voice for every male character. Gideon's portrayal of Huck was spot on. He showcased Huck's possessiveness and protective nature.

I loved the sizzling chemistry between Huck and Trinity. Huck was an interesting character. He did things he wasn't proud of and Trinity had demons she was battling with daily. However together they were made for eachother. Loved Huck's possessiveness over Trinity. In her entire life besides Hayes no one looked out for her. Overall, really enjoyed this one!

I love the book, the readers were chefs kiss!

The readers voices matched so amazingly to the ones in my head when reading. I like that when Huck is speaking and Trinity talked to him, it's really Trinity's voice. Not Huck speaking like a girl.
Amazing story and amazing reading. LOVE

Lots of steam

Audiobook review: Narrated by Marie Hawkins and Gideon Frost

First off, this is a darker romance with some sensitive content so be sure to check any warnings before reading. I did enjoy the flow of the story. We do have an extremely alpha MMC in Huck and a meek FMC in Trinity. I usually like the FMCs to be a bit tougher, but Trinity's past is represented well within the story, so we get a good explanation for her insecurities and reasoning for her timidness and inexperience. The backstory is heartbreaking, both Trinity with her stepmother/brother and Huck and his own brother, who just so happens to be Trinity's fiancé that passed away. Lots of heat in this one with a healthy dose of a storyline. Very enjoyable story on its own but the audio just added so much to the experience. Marie Hawkins was a great choice to highlight the innocence of Trinity. Gideon Frost on the flip side plays the alpha possessive MMC perfectly. The fact that it's narrated in duet style is the icing on the cake.
