About this listen

You’re either the hunter or the hunted. The lion or the lamb. Bound on an altar. Belts of deceit. Tangerine skies. Taunted by time. Scorch. Stack. Salt.

Gage

She’s my nightmare. My weakness. My Wicked. Ainsley Morelli was everything I craved, the breath in my lungs, my only home. But she sent me to die, and threw dirt on my grave. That was another life. When she had the upper hand. In this one, I’m the lead enforcer for KORT. And she’s on the run and in my backyard. I’ve waited years to ruin her and her family. Her smoking gun might do it for me. No need to rush. I’ve always enjoyed playing with my prey.

Ainsley

My life as a Morelli has been full of duplicities. Betrayal traded for loyalty. Becoming a fugitive for freedom. And Gage Porter was at the center of every unraveling thread. Only he wasn’t Gage then. And he didn’t survive—or so I thought. Until a man three times the size of the boy with amber eyes pins me to a wall in the shelter where I took refuge. That tracks. I sought protection and became a prisoner. But times are changing. In this story, the burnt offering rises to be the butcher. Freed by the very hands that counted my fleeting breaths. Until the ticking stops. Family means sacrifice.

This is book four in The KORT Series. It’s best to start with book one, BURNING IVY.

Significant character growth, world building, and events occur in the first three novels, so books should be listened to in order for the best experience. What to expect:

Mafia/Secret Society

Jealous/Possessive hero

Action/Suspense

Second Chance

Enemies to Lovers

Forced proximity

Trauma healing

Obsessed MMC Found family

Touch her and unalive

Morally Gray MMC and FMC

What a way to end a series…

Gage gets a blast from his past when he discovers the most recent woman rescued and protected in their shelter is none other than the woman who betrayed him in his past life. Before he was Gage, the KORT enforcer, he was Josh the mafia soldier. And Ainsley was the mafia princess he fell in love with. She's also the reason he hasn't been able to trust woman with very few exceptions.

Ainsley thought Gage had died while away in the military years ago. So imagine her shock when she see's him again years later. Calling it a tense reunion would be a mild way of putting it. She's been battling her own struggles all alone while trying to find a way out. She's tired of being used and abused.

Both of them are harboring quite a bit of hard feelings, guilt, betrayal, injustice, and a begrudging love for each other even after all this time. They are all trying to get to the bottom of who is out to get her after what she did to get free. Gage and Ainsley have a long way to go to work through all their issues to get to the other side in whatever way that may be.

These two were intense and I loved every minute of it. I loved seeing how it all started with them, how things went so wrong, and how they faced their feelings to find the truth of what really happened. I'm not ready to let this series go because it's just so good. But at the same time is wrapped up in such a great way with looks into where everyone ended up years down the road. I can't wait to see where this world will go with the Noire brothers next. And I can totally see myself reading this series over again.

AUDIOBOOK UPDATE (re-read): Jacob and Samantha did such a great job bringing out the emotion and intensity of Gage and Ainsley. It just took the story to another level. And I'm a sucker for duet narration. So great!

CAPTIVATING narration

Jacob Morgan and Samantha Brentmoor were phenomenal in this duet narration audiobook.
Gage’s character goes through a wide array of emotions and he was able to portray them all perfectly along with the other male characters he voiced. And Samantha Brentmoor really was able to make you feel everything Ainsley was feeling from being determined and strong to look out for herself down to the moments she was feeling the most vulnerable. This audiobook was so easy to listen to and I absolutely loved these two for this audiobook.

What a way to end a series. I’ve been so excited for Gage’s story and it was so unexpected. I did not see Gage and Ainsley having a second chance romance coming. This one is an emotional rollercoaster and takes you for quite the ride.

Ainsley knew Gage before he was erased and that really added a new aspect to the series. Seeing how they were supposed to not have contact with anyone from before they were erased. When they met again was by chance. I loved the push and pull between these two. Both were so strong willed and independent. She had something to prove even if some of it was only to herself. The growth both Gage and Ainsley made in this book

Both were hurt by the other for different reasons but even with that the chemistry was off the charts even when they didn’t want it to be. This book like the others in the series are plot heavy but the spice is just right for the story.

The ending of this really gave some good closure to the whole series not just this book. Getting to see where all the couples were when it ended and how they all interacted being in this unconventional family they made was the best. It has me so excited for the next series which will have ties to this series I think.

Roman Empire!!!

Samantha Brentmoor and Jacob Morgan brought down the house and so much more with this audio. So authentically emotional from start to finish. The way these two dig in deep into their roles as Gage and Ainsley is nothing short of spectacular. When I saw the reveal that these two were the narrators I literally squealed for joy at work! Lol Samantha’s voice is like coming home to a summer breeze during the day and like fine wine in the evening by a raging fire. Jacob’s voice is a perfect bend of rough and tough, purse sensual, and humerous joy! The chemistry and spiciness between these two is a combination of a live wire and a slow burning chill that makes your toes curl! This series is my Roman Empire, but this story really sealed the deal!

Book Review;

What a way to end the series in the best way possible. Gage is everything and more. Morally Grey/Big Teddy Bear! He really does give a whole new meaning to Independence Day/Die Hard vibes! Ainsley is definitely the match for Gage and the spark that lives on. I fell so in love with these two and had the roller coaster heart wrenching ride of my life! This book sealed the deal to become my Roman Empire forever!

This series deserves THE WORLD

I can't even put into words how brilliant and well thought out this series is. Every little detail and plot point were meticulously played out from the beginning of book 1 to the last page of book 4. The narration was flawless and brought the characters to life. Everyone should be listening to this series. I would probably pay to listen to Jacob Morgan and Samantha Brentmoor recite passages from a math textbook. So hearing them read such an amazing book was just fantastic.

amazing narration!

The audio for Charring Bones is absolutely phenomenal!! It is narrated in duet by Samantha Brentmoor and Jacob Morgan and I honestly couldn’t have picked anyone else better for this! Every single emotion in this book was heard in the audio and it only made the story so much more impactful!

♾️⭐️ for this book and honestly this whole series will live rent free in my head probably forever.

This book is so raw, beautiful, and I honestly couldn’t imagine a better way for the KORT series to end with one of my favorite found families! This book had me laughing, crying, panicking, and just experiencing all of the emotions - sometimes in the same chapter! I honestly wish I could re-read this book for the first time because I truly loved it so much.

I had a feeling that Gage was going to end up topping Ty as my favorite MMC and he definitely delivered! He’s always had that mysterious aura surrounding him and I knew there would be so much under the surface that would come to light in his book. What I didn’t expect was for Ainsley to also take my top spot for FMCs in this series! I mean, I love all of them, but Gage & Ainsley etched themselves onto my heart and into my soul. Both of them have experienced so much in their years apart, but they both are so freaking strong and always found a way to continue moving forward with their lives.

Ainsley certainly lives up to the nickname Wicked, and I loved how feisty she was from the beginning when they first saw each other again. She might have been seen as a lamb before, but now she is a lioness stepping up and refusing to be controlled by anyone, even the people who care for her. I respect the heck out of her for all her choices she made, even when things seemed so dark.

The tension between these two is so f**king thick that I felt it as if I was there. The way these two truly are enemies in every aspect when they are reunited only added to this tension. And the spice between them - HOLY SMOKES. It’s hot, but also cathartic in a way - if that makes any sense. There are scenes that I will NEVER be able to forget between these two!

I honestly was so shocked with some of the plot twists that this book has and I absolutely needed to keep reading to find out what would happen next. I cannot wait to see what Brandy has coming for us in the future, but I am so excited for it!

Heartbreakingly beautiful

This one gutted me over and over again. I loved this story, though I do wish the hesitation between FMC and mmc would have ended a few chapters before it did. However, I could feel every moment of anguish and turmoil thanks to Samantha brentmoor and Jacob Morgan.

I was reluctant to believe in Morgan and Gage, and still have narrators who I think would have been more growly. However, the emotional range required in this one really needed Brentmoor and Morgan.

I’m not typically a second chance troupe girly; but this one was well-done. This may have been due to my bias of this incredible found family that Brandy Hynes created. Either one, I ended the series feeling satisfied with its conclusion

So in love ♾️

I’ve laughed, had ALL the feet kick moments 👣, swooned, ACHED, felt consumed by the HEAT 🔥and have LOVED them so! These characters are raw, emotionally complex, richly developed, and their story is just beautiful.

✨And this duet style audiobook is fantastic with both of these narrators giving phenomenal performances!! 🎧🖤❤️

There is so much I want to say about this series, from the immaculate found family, the twist and turns, all the feels, and tears. This authors stories have meant so much to me and filled my heart with endless love!!

Wow!!!

I loved this series! It was such a rush to read/listen too! I couldn’t wait until Gage’s story and am so glad he got his HEA, even though it took a long time coming. I’m sad the ending is here but defiantly will be doing a reread/listen too. The only thing that got to me was the ending with Liam and Ace-I so wanted him to be a dad given all that was taken away from him so that kinda got me in a slump. In the end the series was amazing and I can’t wait for whats to come! Brandy Hynes writing is top notch and she has a way of emerging you into the story to where you can’t put the book down!! One of the best series I’ve ever read!!!

scorch.stack.salt 🧡🥵

When I started the series was by curiosity and boredom. Saw the first book gave it a shot and I don't regret it. Brandy has delivered in every single book and this last book is no different. It was extremely tastefully done the storyline was great to me. I'm in complete awe with this author. I am a fan. I'm definitely not giving spoilers all I have to say is just read the series! All these men and these women are amazing. I can't say any other more great things... I probably can I'm just still speeches cuz I just finished the last book. And to know that she's going to make another series of the other men. I say it that way so I don't give spoilers😬🥵❤️ I'm so here for it. The audiobook for each book absolutely great amazing if I could give it 10 Stars I would. The narrators were great the book was great. Yes I cried because it's the end but I feel it's only the beginning. I'm looking forward to reading more of her stuff.
