How Did You Survive Without Us?

Irish Roulette, Book 1

By: Ki Brightly, M.D. Gregory

Narrated by: Mac Rae

The charming yet clueless professor.

Dr. Vail Mifflin loves the history of organized crime. Teaching and writing about the adventures of mobsters are his life’s work. To Vail, the stories he tells are just that - fun accounts he doesn’t think of as real. When Dr. Mifflin gets too close to the modern-day mob truth while researching a book he’s writing, his life begins to fall apart.

The Irish mob killers.

Rowen, Cillian, Aspen, and Fallon work for the Killough Company, the Irish mob that controls the Eastern Seaboard of the US. They go to one of Dr. Mifflin’s lectures to hear a few stories about the old-timers. That day, the men save Dr. Mifflin from an Italian mafioso, who didn’t like the things Dr. Mifflin lectured about. With this one unintended kind act, these killers become entangled in Vail’s life.

Death and danger in unexpected places.

As the band of killers get to know Vail, they realize that instead of focusing on the history of the mob, he’s trying to write an up-to-date account. Normally they would murder a man who planned to divulge their secrets, but it’s clear Vail doesn’t truly understand the danger he’s in. Their only choice to keep him alive is to protect him and convince him to stop. Vail struggles with ADHD and is reluctant to let go of his career, the one thing he feels he is good at. Unfortunately word is already out that Vail knows things he shouldn’t, and keeping him safe won’t be simple.

How Did You Survive Without Us? ends on a small cliff-hanger for Vail, but the next book is already written, so you won’t have to wait to find out what happens next!

amazing!

One of my favorite stories ever and it was made even better by that narration! I highly recommend this book!

Very Hot

I enjoyed learning about each character, they were very easy to like. Vail needed his men to keep him safe and they were more than willing to take care of him. The story was engaging and kept me listening. The scenes were very hot !!!!

Wowzers

I'm going to be honest, when I read this in ebook form, Vail drove me crazy. Reading this in audio made it easier to understand how he really was. It also made me like Cillian more, which was weird.

I'm going to spoil this a bit and warn those leary of harems that it only lasts for the first couple of books, then it turns into a true poly family. I had a hard time with it changing because my expectations were set in getting a harem.

Ok onto the story. This is a multi book story about how Dr Vail ended up with 4 boyfriends and joining the Irish mafia. They have threats on Vail's life and find love/lust.

I loved the mob bits. They are so over the top and wonderful. I suggest reading The Killough Company series along with this one to get the full information needed.

One last thing, I freaking got teary and might have cried during the scene after the bombing. I was that emotional and it was all due to a new to me narrator, Mac Rae. They did a wonderful job and I will definitely be listening to him in the future.

Fantastic!!

Thoroughly enjoyed this one from Ki Brightly and MD Gregory! The story was excellent and immersive and I was not ready for it to end! I thought the narrator did a super nice job and I look forward to listening to him again in the future!

Irish Accents!

I read this story first when it came out and loved it then but listening to it was so much fun! I loved the various Irish accents he used and I can’t wait to listen to the next one to hear him do Fallon and Aspen.
