Greg Tremblay is awesome again!!

Any additional comments?

Greg Tremblay definitely brings this murder mystery to life, creating character voices that drew me in like a siren's call. But it's the banter and humor in this that made this such a fabulous listen for me.

All of the characters (especially Hank, Mannie and Archie), the mystery, and the pacing were all really entertaining. There's quite a bit of action, and though there aren't that many sexy times, what is there is *so* good.

I loved all the pop culture references. I cracked up every time Rook brought up The Princess Bride (Dante's last name is Montoya so Rook keeps making six fingered man references LOL) and it totally goes over Dante and his partner, Hank's, heads. It was hysterical.

For those who love the whole enemies-to-lovers trope - you won't be disappointed with the romance between Dante and Rook.

"And babe, I'll hold you forever for however long you want me to. And even then, I might not let you go."

But, for me, hands down, my favorite interactions and scenes in the story were between Rook and his grandfather, Archie. Archie was such a fantastic character. He's the guy you love to hate, and hate to love.

Greg Tremblay's narration is a thing of beauty. His range of accents, emotive expertise, and wonderful pacing is hard to beat.

As long as Greg Tremblay keeps narrating, I'm definitely looking forward to more in the series!

A brilliant story made even better.

Rook and Dante are complicated. .. Ex-thief and cop, with a history. .. But a dead body is the catalyst to more complication, maybe love, and a few questions about why bodies keep turning up. Add Greg Tremblay as the narrator and you've got gold.

Ford & Tremblay are a Perfect Match

Tremblay is one of my top two narrators, and Ford is fast becoming a favorite author. After 3 years of "I only listen in the car," I just spent 3 hours on my couch listening to this book. I'm off to download the next book in the series...

Another winner by a winning team

Another winner with the team of Rhys Ford and Greg Tremblay!! With the story of Rook and Dante I am taken back to the action and romance of Cole and Jae; but with a very different story. The excellent writing, witty dialogue, action and mystery is all there. Along with a wonderful romance. And what is there to say about Greg Tremblay's performance; as it is a performance. His voice, accents, inflections are flawless as usual. Five stars all the way.

Greg Tremblay kicks butt again!

This another amazing work by Rhys Ford! Rook is a thief, trying to get clean, but stuck in the middle of family drama “that keeps pulling him in”!

Dante is the cop on the case – at first determined to put Rook behind bars, but later determined to keep the man in his bed.

It’s a wonderful story of enemies to lovers with that special, emotionally charged twist that Rhys infuses into all her work. Rook is such a great character – warm hearted, giving, loyal, and totally unaware of how awesome he is.

Dante is the tough, alpha figure who knows a gem when he sees it. He won’t let Rook slip through his fingers and he’s lucky enough to get Rook’s crazy family, too.

The sex scenes were amazing, the love story so sweet and the action/mystery compelling.

I enjoyed the pop-culture references and laughed out loud many times. It was great seeing Alex again and catching up with him a bit. I also LOVED the pet names they had for each other… so adorable!

I can’t wait for this to be an audiobook – it’s going to go up with my Cole McGinnis stories as those books you just read/listen to again and again.

Audio

Greg Tremblay is so amazingly talented! Gah! He gives each character, secondary or main, the full spectrum of his talent, each an individual identity and flavor. I ADORED his Dante… just the right amount of accent to sizzle and Rook was delightfully sweet and vulnerable.

He absolutely adds to the overall enjoyment of this story and makes a great book even more wonderful.

FANTASTIC!

Great story and beautiful narration! one of the best audio books I've ever listened to.

enjoyed it

Would I listen to it again: yes
Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Was I invested in the characters: yes

📖 Story comment: good pace, likeable characters, nice flow.
I enjoyed Murder and Mayhem - Rook's prickly personality v's Dante's "no nonsense cop" demeanour made for some humorous banter and an entertaining story. I liked that this book is more about the story than the "s*xy" times and loved the pop culture references.

🎧 Narrator comment: Greg Tremblay is a master performer. He suits the characters, has a great range of accents and the narrative is separate to the dialog. He has wonderful pacing, good cadence, inflections and intonations and pulls all the emotions from the story. Another enjoyable performance.

Rhys Ford writes good books.

Another good book by Rhys Ford and narrated by Greg Tremblay. The story follows Ford's formula developed in the Cole McGinnis books, so it feels familiar, but Dante Montoya is a potent MC well worth following into the next book of this series.

Very good, better than I expected it to be😆

I started listening to this audiobook just for its amazing narrator Greg Tremblay/Boudreaux whom I recently became a huge fan😍I loved his voice so much, the way he managed to portray Soo many different voices of characters from all walks of life and ethnicity is just pure genius👍I took a huge liking to this book way better than Rhys Ford other similar book in the same genre and I’m going to follow up with the next book ASAP👌🏻
