Smokin' Hot

Smoke Series, Book 7

By: Abbi Glines

Narrated by: Ryan Lee Dunlap, Vivienne LaRue

The mafia south of the Mason Dixon line is ruled by possessive, controlling, dangerous, alphas. Except for one. Saxon Houston has grown up the best friend of the mafia boss’s youngest son. He knew one day he’d have to play a role in the life his father and grandfather are a part of. However, he much preferred dealing with raising and training the thoroughbred race horses side of the family business.

When he falls hard and fast for a girl that ends up being the enemy’s sister, he’s ready to defend her innocence. However, she shuts him out completely. Where the girls before her had failed, Haisley Slate managed to crush him.

Two months later… when he opens the door to his hotel room and she stands there wearing a cleaning uniform, he is cruel. Seeing her makes him feel and he no longer allows that emotion when it comes to her.

There is one issue though… She’s pregnant and it’s his baby.

A Slightly Softer Story In The Series

Saxon Houston was best friends to the southern mafia boss’s youngest son. He had always known that he would one day play the part his father and grandfather had played, but he was much more interested in training the racing thoroughbreds. He fell hard and fast for Haisley, who turned out to be sister of the enemy, and he was ready to defend her innocence. But she shut him out. Two months later, he found her in a cleaning uniform on the other side of his hotel door. And not only was she pregnant, it’s his baby. Smokin’ Hot is the 7th audiobook in the Smoke series by Abbi Glines. This is an accidental pregnancy, lovers to enemies to lovers, dark, mafia romance. The narrators, Ryan Lee Dunlap and Vivienne LaRue, gave a fantastic performance in this dual POV audiobook. I really enjoyed a slightly softer mafia romance, with the same obsessive, possessive hero as other heroes in this series. I love the way Saxon supports Haisley and goes to bat for her. It really made the romance for me. I recommend this audiobook for listeners who enjoy dark mafia and accidental pregnancy romances.

I would like to thank Wordsmith Publicity for providing this ALC in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Hands down my fav couple

This series is so addictive. The audios are out of this world. I think Saxon and Haisley are my favorite couple. Their story tied up some loose ends from previous books, which I appreciated. But again, just as with the last book, I feel like this was just a start to their story and there is so much more to tell. UGH but I guess that’s how it goes when you fall for a couple, their story is always too short.

A Great To Listen

This is the seventh book in the Smoke Series from Abbi Glines. I listened to the audio version of this book. This is the story of Saxon and Haisley. Saxon belongs to a family full of Mafia men but hasn't really be involved in that life. He is young at twenty three and is just now beginning to be introduced to the family business. When he and Haisley meet they have a little fling before she ghosts him. However, she is dealing with the repercussion of that little fling but doesn't tell Saxon However secrets don't stay hidden for very long and when Saxon finds out and realizes the situation that Haisley is living in, insists that she comes and stay with him until the baby is born. I don't want to ruin the story for anyone so I will stop talking about it right now. This book was so good. I fell hard for Haisley and Saxon. He is also my favorite kind of male character in a book. He all alpha with a dirty mouth. I am a sucker for a dirty mouth in books. This is a book that you are going to love listening too. You do not want to miss it.

Great Narration

Another great book in the Smoke Series! Smokin' Hot is book 7 in the series, and it's Saxon and Haisley's story.

The story was well written and the characters were great as usual. I listed to the audiobook, and it made the story even better! Kyle Lee Dunlap and Vivienne La Rue did an amazing job with the narration! Kyle Lee Dunlap has become one of my favorite male narrators after this book!
