The Troublemaker

Publisher's Summary

They say Rafe Hunter is trouble with a capital T. 

I say - bring it on. 

As long as Trouble comes in a package as delicious as Rafe’s, I’m ready to climb on his Harley and ride all night long - and I’m not just talking about his motorcycle. 

I can hide out until the scandal with my evil ex blows over AND have a wild rebound at the same time. Besides, I’ve got no heart left to break. My ex made sure of that. 

As long as Rafe and I keep our no-strings fling from our families, what can possibly go wrong?

This is so damned wrong.

I don’t do drama, and this thing with Carrie Haverford has bad news written all over it. After one red-hot kiss, I know I should cut and run. 

Instead I take her home, take her in her car, take her to the beach and make her scream louder than the crashing waves. And then I take her so far into my heart that I don’t see how I’m ever going to let her go.

The say the bigger and badder they are, the harder they fall. But when I fall for a girl with third degree love burns, how can I convince her that fire is a good thing? 

This sexy standalone romance will make you laugh, melt, and fall madly in love.

Sebastian, Sebastian, Sebastian! Love him!

Rafe and Carrie were so great! Nothing like getting a pair who don't believe in love to fall in love. Lili is great at dirty-talking, swoony alpha's, and Rafe is no exception. Carrie is a badass, and I love how she and Rafe evolved in this story.

As always, Sebastian and Andi do an amazing job narrating, and bringing everything to life!

More than just a bad boy or girl

This story is fine as a stand-alone, but definitely more enjoyable if you’ve read The Baby Maker first.
Rafe Hunter and Carrie Haverford have chemistry in spades, but think the families would have an issue with seeing each other. Very closely.
So what can you do when you are the bad boy and bad girl of your family? You see each other privately.
It’s a great story of not just taking the surface appearance as your gauge of who’s a good guy or girl, or the depth of their emotions.
Arndt and York. Yes, very well done.
Worth the credit.

Trouble With A Capital T

Rafe Hunter doesn't do relationships. He's seen what emotion can do to a perfectly good situation, and he'll have none of it, thank you very much. And, luckily for Rafe, Carrie Haverford feels the same way. But Rafe's not sure that getting hot and heavy with his new sister-in-law is the best idea; it's a little too close for comfort, after all. Good intentions, and all that...

I adore Lili Valente and her sweet, sexy, steamy rom-coms more than I can say. She just has a way with words, creating characters and storylines that make me want to move right in and live there, and THE TROUBLEMAKER is one of my most recent favorites of all. Carrie is a strong woman, happily living a very successful life to the fullest. She's a woman that knows herself and knows what she wants, and is a breath of fresh air. Rafe doesn't stand a chance, really, because she IS so comfortable in her own skin, asking nothing of him but what he's able to give.

The audiobook of THE TROUBLEMAKER is a real treat, as is any book narrated by the wonderful Andi Arndt and Sebastian York. These two bring Carrie and Rafe to vivid life, with all of the humor and quirkiness, sexiness and sweetness, that make them such a fun couple.

If you're looking for a treat for both your heart and your ears, THE TROUBLEMAKER is a sure bet, and a true 5-star listen that you won't want to miss.

I want to live in the Teepee of Silence with Rafe!

The sexy voices of Sebastian York and Andi Arndt really bring Rafe & Carrie to life! These two are my favorites and can narrate the heck out of anything! And Lili Valenti, her words are so entertaining and she can clearly write the heck out of anything!!This book was so much fun! Flirty, funny, hot and sexy, Rafe & Carrie will make you smile, laugh and even make you blush! I love their sexy banter and they have such smoldering chemistry they can't keep their hands or anything else off each other. Neither of them wants a relationship but they sure as heck want each other so they decide to have a fling but keep it a secret since their siblings are married and they don't want things to be awkward.
But I need to talk about the Teepee of Silence for a second, where they become Valentine & Caroline, because it is one of the sweetest things Rafe does for Carrie and because I am surprised it survives their heat. These two are so hot and steamy together and their love for each other just grows from that organically and it's simply beautiful. Love their story so much!!
I also love that we get some scenes with Dylan & Emma and their adorable little baby Mercy.

Awesome

loved this book,two of my favorite narrators. cant wait to hear more from them soon

Rafe is a girls dream

Rafe can make any girl give up her vow of Chastity. He is one of those rare men who puts the woman’s pleasures before his. The sparks are flying and Trouble is definitely on the agenda.

Trouble and Slick

Sebastian York and Andi Arndt do a fantastic job narrating this story. I read this book and loved the story. Lili Valente writes in a way that wraps me up and brings me into the characters so this story was fantastic to read but to listen to these two tell the story was even better. Their voices are so addictive to listen to and they read through just as though they were Rafe and Carrie and having the conversation with each other. I highly recommend this audio book and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

great story

I really liked this story and the author didn't feel the need to put a bunch of unnecessary drama in the story. this was very refreshing to me compared to all the romances I've been listening to

Great performance

I love Sebastian and Andy they are awesome together and they make the Hunt Brothers books truly entertaining. Listen you will be happy you did.

A wonderful story with fun, sexy characters

Hooked. That was me, from the first page. I love these Hunter brothers and their stories. Hot, sexy alpha males that know exactly what they want. When Rafe and Carrie agree to a friends with lots of benefits deal, you know straight away that it’s all going to go wrong, but the journey to their destination is one helluva ride? A wonderful story, excellent writing and fun sexy characters, apart from Jordan, who is described perfectly as a ‘tool’. Oh, and yes, book 3 is downloaded and waiting for me as I type. As usual. Perfect narration.
