Whiskey Smoke

Smoke Series, Book 6

By: Abbi Glines

Narrated by: Sean Masters, Rose Dioro, Sparks Fly Studios

Wealth, power, and privilege have always been a part of Levi Shephard’s life. However, it comes at a price. The darkness that surrounds being born into a family of organized crime has always kept him at a distance when it came to relationships. He only hooked up with women who understood the game and played along.

Born with a heart defect, Aspen Chance has been sheltered and raised by her religious grandmother. When her grandmother passes away, Aspen is left with no family - except her older sister who her grandmother had believed was headed straight for Hell.

Deep down Aspen hopes to reconnect with her sister while also being given the chance to experience more of life. Leaving the only home, she’d ever known behind she moves to Ocala, Florida to live with her sister. It doesn’t take her long to realize her sister was going to shelter her even more than her grandmother had.

One of the strippers that Levi enjoys occasional hook ups with is killed one night while a fight breaks out in the club. He might not have been able to prevent her death but he could save her younger sister. Aspen was everything her sister had claimed: young, naïve, and sheltered. When he realizes she’s also not well and has no one to protect her- he takes on the role.

What he swore was only a friendship in which he would make sure Aspen had everything she needed - he hadn’t expected her to end up sleeping in his bed due to her night terrors, or trusting him when it came to her health care and he sure as hell hadn’t been prepared when she wanted to experience pleasure. Meeting her needs takes on a whole new twisted meaning that he fears could destroy them both.

Addictive

Aspen’s life is turned upside down after a horrible tragedy. But as these SMOKE SERIES men do, Levi helps her through it. I listened to the audio, which was amazing. When I was done, my first thought was darn it. It’s over already? This definitely felt like the start of a duet. This couple NEEDS another book. WHISKEY SMOKE was heavily focused on these characters getting to know each other. Levi. And. His. Mouth. Ms. Glines out-did herself with him. I could’ve easily given this five stars if there was a bit more action. The brief action there was seemed to be resolved super quick. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hooked me on the whole series

I happened upon this author and series by accident (hunting audiobooks narrated by Sean Masters), so I jumped in with book 6. Holy hell! Narration was fantastic, which I expected, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the writing and storyline. She writes the hell out of my favorite type of MMCs - The hot af and just the right amount of a-hole type, so of course I needed all their stories. Currently, book 1 and 2 are dual narration, and books 3 and beyond are duet narration. Probably best to listen in order, but I listened to all the books completely out of order (Levi to Kye to Gage etc) and I’m fine. I’ve loved them all.

Incredible Story & Listen🎧 Captivating & Steamy!

Abbi Glines does it again and pens another winning novel set in her “Smoke” series, a southern mafia romance novel, one that captivates your attention and tugs at your heartstrings the entire time. I am loving this series and the fantastic and unique mafia world Glines created and as much as I would like to say the series keeps getting better and better, it would not be fair to the earlier books, which are just as amazing. This sixth book features Levi Shephard, the bad boy who does not do relationships and Aspen Chance, the fragile sister of Irish, aka Kitty, who works at the strip club, the “Devil’s Lair”, that Levi frequents. Aspen lived a sheltered life with her grandmother until her passing and then her sister took her in, who is also keeping her sheltered, especially from her life and the people she knows. Levi was at the club when a fight broke out, a gunfight and one of those shots hit Kitty, and Levi could not save her but knew her sister was home alone, so he went to make sure she was safe. I loved how everything played out in this book and it was great to watch Levi, who does not do “love” fall for Aspen. She brought out something in him, and not just his caring side, but a protective and possessive side, too, and she was the light of his darkness, and an angel to his devil and diabolical ways. And like the earlier books in the series, Glines’ writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. There is never a dull moment in this book and the story has the perfect balance of drama, angst, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Abbi Glines, thank you for another amazing story and wild ride.

🎧📚🎧 Sean Masters and Rose Dioro were incredible in bringing these characters and story to life. They understood the characters they were portraying, giving each a voice that was fitting and was believable in every role they performed. Masters nailed it as Levi, showcasing all aspects of his personality and demeanor, playing an overprotective, possessive alpha bad boy perfectly. Dioro was just as amazing in her role as Aspen, grasping every aspect of her personality as well, from her naivety to her strength and determination. Both were fantastic performing the roles of all the secondary characters, too. These entertaining storytellers made a fantastic narration team, with voices that complemented each other and a performance that elevated the already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another amazing listen!
