Stunner

Bones MC 9

By: Marteeka Karland

Narrated by: Umi Markkanen

Length: 3 hrs and 33 mins

Publisher's summary

Suzie: I’m the youngest grad student at MIT, and to say other students resent me for it is an understatement. To top it all off, I miss my Stunner. He’s been with me through the darkest moments of my life, helping me pull myself back together. He’s seen me at my worst—I want him to see me at my best. If he’d just return my calls, I might be able to get myself around the mean girls (and boys) at school.

Stunner: To say I’ve got skeletons in my closet is the understatement of the century. Suzie deserves a man more suited to her station than me, and she definitely deserves a man who’s not a stone-cold killer. I have my uses. Protecting her body, heart, and soul is one of those. I just never expected to fall for the woman after the girl grew up. Now not only has she run into a foul and vindictive bastard—my past has caught up to me, and there may be no way to keep from being swept back up into the madness. All I truly know is I won’t let any of it touch Suzie—even if it means giving her up. Forever.

Warning: Explicit violence that could be triggering for some listeners. Explicit sex that might offend some listeners. As always, you can expect an HEA with no cheating.

Stunner and Suzie

This is a age gap mc. I was so excited when I received this book and realized it was about Suzie and Stunner. I LOVE Stunners character. He has been there for years. I really like Umi Markkanen as the narrator. Marteeka Karland did it again.

Loved it

Narration review- The narrator has a clear voice that is easy to understand. Umi is great. When she’s doing the male voices, I forget that she’s female.

Story review:
MMC/FMC- Stunner and Susie
POV- 3rd person
Genre- MC Romance
Heat- ☄️☄️☄️ Sensual and hot
Series? Y
Safety: No cheating, no sharing, no cliffhanger. Someone tries to be OW but is shot down. Past implied s. a. (No details). HEA.
Triggers- The Biker’s Trifecta (language, violence, explicit erotic content).
Tropes- My How You’ve Grown, Bodyguard/Protector, New Adult, Secret Crush, Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
What I liked- I love that Susie and Stunner got their own book! Both characters are favorites of mine. They are both very special. Susie has an irrepressible personality and is brilliant. Stunner has endless patience with and a steadfast love for her. Their feelings have built for years into a love that is deep and abiding. He let her decorate his beard for goodness sake, and she refrained from shooting him when he shaved it! That’s love there, folks.
What I didn’t like- in case you missed it, HE SHAVED THE BEARD. Oh, the humanity….
Verdict- I couldn’t love this book more.
I received an advance review copy for free and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Well I am Stunned

did not expect some of those twists and for a quick listen it really covered a lot answered so many questions and packed a punch for sure, narration was great and made it even more enjoyable.

Love it!

Suzie and Stunner are amazing together. They have seen each other at their worsts and their love still shines through. I love how the narrator brought their story to life and have become addicted to her voice. I can't wait to listen to more.

over his head

Stunner did it this time. In this one the good guy starts as the bad guy, almost loses the girl, and there is a big hit on him and a small one on the girl. Does the MC kill Stunner or the hitman??? Or does he turn out to be the good guy with the girl. Awesome twist.

Stunned Silence

Suzie Gill continues to show the sass and light when in Stunner's presence, but my heart absolutely broke when an insecure man-child who wishes he had half the brains Suzie has makes her feel less than and has memories return of the early days when she was a victim of human trafficking. I do love how Jake's initial introduction to Stunner ends. Sadly, the damage was already done.

Jake isn't the only one to end up on Stunner's bad side as Pig opens his mouth again. You'd think he would've learned by now. Yeah, some people never learn and he proves that.

This one didn't go where I expected and Stunner's confession about his past left many, including me, stunned. I won't give anything away, but it's quite the revelation.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Umi Markkanen. She continues to do well with all of the characters.

Stunner and Suzie

I read (listened to) the previous books in the series. This can be read as a standalone, although I feel reading in order of the series is better. Suzie is now grown, and off to MIT. She has been attracted to Stunner for some time. Stunner, who is significantly older than Suzie, has been attracted to her but has tried to maintain a distance due to their ages. Luckily, Stunner finally smartens up! This romance has an age gap but is sweet and caring. Stunner is just who the grown-up Suzie needs! I really enjoyed this story, and look forward to more from this author. The narration was excellent. I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Loved!

This one is definitely my favorite so far. I was cautious going in because of the way the characters met but ended up loving it

Entertaining!

This is book 9 in the Bones MC Series. This is a series of interconnected stories. I like this series. Stunner and Suzie's story is entertaining, passionate, and fast-paced. This is another great addition to the series. Umi Markkanen did an excellent job bringing this story to life. Looking forward to listening to Shadow, the next book in the series. #StoryOrigin

Always have a Plan!!!!

I am loving the over reaching arc in these stories and the backgrounds given. No not to give away too much, I knew Stunner was waaaay more than what he represented and I thing the punishment fit the crime!!!! Plus he ain't dumb dude he knew exactly what he was was doing and how to play people.....I LOVE STUNNER!!!!!!!


And Umi Markkanen is just whoa!!!! I love her for Bones...may she always be the voice of the club!!!
