Burn

Smoke Series, Book 8

De: Abbi Glines

Narrado por: Jacob Morgan, Juno Cooper

From the moment she fell out of the tree in his backyard, ruining his eighth birthday party, Genesis Stoll had been Kye Levine’s best friend. The one person he knew would be there no matter what. She was his escape, his sunshine when the darkness in his world got too deep. When he had her to run to, he knew no matter how twisted his life got, she would remind him who he was. He would never lose himself. She wouldn’t let him.

Genesis had loved Kye most of their life; in a way, she knew Kye didn’t reciprocate. If she ever told him, it would likely destroy their friendship, and she wasn’t willing to take that chance. Besides, Kye would never fall in love and be in a relationship. He was a wild, free spirit.

When an old boyfriend with a past intertwined with both Genesis and Kye walks back into her life, she feels things for him—believing that he could be the man to give her a family, love, and security. All the things she knew Kye never would.

Just as things begin to fall into place for Genesis and the new man in her life, Kye walks in her door with a baby. One he didn’t know existed. One that’s mother had dropped him off like unwanted baggage. A baby boy that belonged to Kye.

I don't know how to title this

this is a continuation of the mafia stories that I've been listening to this is Kai's story though I will say you meet Kai of course in the other books and he is quite the man w**** so when you get to his story and you're not sure what to expect I am was very fascinated to the fact that he is always loved a girl since she was a little girl and has held fast to that it was something very sweet wasn't a lot of like Mafia type stuff going on in it a little bit it was a sexy book though and I enjoyed it.

Good story

I’ve been a fan of Abbi Glines for years, and her books never disappoint. She’s such a kind and genuine person, and it’s been amazing to see her grow as a writer. I really enjoyed this series, especially getting to dive deeper into Ky’s character, who I’ve loved since he was a supporting character in other books.

That said, I did feel like this book was a bit shorter than expected. I finished it in just a few hours, and for the price of an Audible credit, it felt a little pricey for the length. I think Audible could consider offering a box set for shorter books like this one, which would be a better deal for readers. I’m not knocking the story, just want others to be aware before purchasing. Overall, it’s still a great read, just be mindful of the length if you’re buying with an Audible credit.

YES YES YES!!!

-The book from beginning to end.
-The slow burn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
-The incredible male and female narration.
YES YES YES!!!!

As good as the others!

I loved this story as much as as the others in the series. The angst, the love and their friendship was beautiful. Juno Cooper is a new narrator for me and I loved her voice. Jacob Morgan is probably my favorite male narrator and he does not disappoint in this role.

Excellent Story & Listen🎧Riveting & Emotional!

It is great to be back in Abbi Glines’ “Smoke” series world again for another amazing novel, a friends-to-lovers romance that captivates your attention and tugs at your heartstrings the entire time. This eighth books is Kye Levine and Genesis Stoll’s story and their friendship started when they were kids and it only grew stronger over the years. Both denied that their feeling morphed into something more, because Kye was not a one woman man and she did not think she saw her that way, plus she was not into sharing. Except he did harbor feelings for her, but never acted on his feeling because he was not the relationship type and she was. Besides, he missed his chance when she fell in love with another of their friends, Bowie, but they remained each other’s person and their friendship was always a part of any relationship she was in. When Kye receives a surprise, a bundle of joy, well, not exactly joyful at first, but it was Genesis who helped him out, despite it costing her. Kye has decisions to make, and turns into an eye opening experience, and a pivotal point in his life. I loved all the layers of this story and how it all played out, also loved the unique telling of the story, a chronological thru the years type telling and it was great to watch them grow into their own, with Kye taking longer, but he gets there in the end. This wonderfully written and plotted story has the perfect balance of drama, angst, charming and heartfelt moments, thrilling & suspenseful moments and steamy romance. It was great to see characters from the earlier books too. Abbi Glines, thank you for another fantastic story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Abbi Glines continues to cast the perfect narrators to bring her characters to life. Jacob Morgan and Juno Cooper are superbly talented voice artists and they did a fantastic job portraying the characters, giving each a voice that was fitting and was believable in every role. Cooper was spot on as Genesis, grasping every aspect of her personality, including her fierceness, from her youthful years to adulthood. Morgan nailed it as Kye, showcasing his personality perfectly, from his bad boy side to his caring side. Both were just as fabulous performing the roles of the secondary characters too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These two are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for another fantastic listen. 

Amazing friends to lovers romance

I received this as an alc from Wordsmith Publicity and I’m voluntarily leaving my honest review.

This was an amazing friends to lovers romance. I loved the structure of the book and I really felt like I experienced every moment of Genesis and Kye’s friendship. I fell in love with Kye right alongside with Genesis and I definitely understood why she belonged with him. I couldn’t get enough of the two together. The storyline was really entertaining and I wasn’t all for it.

Audiobook review: The story was so well narrated and I definitely felt like the narrators were perfectly casted.

Perfect Narrators ❤️🔥

The narrators for this book are perfect together. Jacob Morgan and Juno Cooper should always be paired together for duet. Their chemistry is undeniable 😉

The story overall is good and engaging. A great friends to lovers story. I wish the mafia plot was elaborated on just a little more rather than as throw away exposition from Kye but overall it’s a good short listen and worth listening to for the narrators alone.

SO GOOD!!!

I loved this book!! I really really loved the audio these narrators brought this couple to life .

New fav couple

If you read ANY book in this series, it has to be BURN!! I feel this one stands out in the series because it is focused heavily on Genesis and Kye, without all the outside interference. I love a good book where the characters secretly pine for the other without the other catching on. It seems to be a theme with my reviews of this series but these two need another book.

Genesis and Kye

I am loving this smoke series!!
Genesis and Kye are childhood friends and Kye is so protective and loves her so much. I really loved their story and how it all came together.

The audio was so good. This is performed in a duet by Jacob Morgan and Juno Cooper they both were amazing. Highly recommend the audios for this series.
