Publisher's summary

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.

This is the sexy and pierced Kye's book. You've seen his downhill battles in the other books when it came to his best friend Genesis. How he'll drop everything for her, even take his 🍆 out of a hole and rush to her. He even drank himself into a stooper and became really depressed when things weren't going good. How everyone thought she was messing with Kye's well being. Now, we get to see into these two lives, and what really was going on.

They were true best friend's, and didn't want to mess up their friendship by sleeping with each other. Even though they both had super feelings for each other. Although, they never admitted it to each other for a long time. Kye never thought he could commit to one woman for life, and Genesis was a relationship woman.

.Kye was always there for Genesis, even while she was engaged. Even if that really upset him, and you'll figure out why. Kye thought he could give Genesis everything she ever wanted, but he couldn't trust himself. Genesis was in a toxic relationship, even if that's what she wouldn't call it. I'm glad she did her ground and chose Kye in the end. Even though I don't think that would have happened without Kye's son. Even though, Kye did everything to see her happy, even if it was killing him. I think that fiancé would have drove that wedge in-between them if Kye's son wasn't dumped off on him. I'm talking like 2 week old.

Now, 2 things I didn't like in the book. Number 1, towards the end, Genesis "back-up" best friend, Quinn. I didn't like how Quinn didn't like Genesis with her fiancé too, but yeah that whole thing happened (you'll know when you read it) and I thought their friendship should have ended. Number 2, how Genesis fiancé, Bowie didn't like Kye's son name and thought he should have it changed. His son's name was Jagger... how could Bowie not like a name like Jagger. Want there a song made by the two about dancing in the street 🤣 Seriously though, Bowie was a not a good guy in my mind. Plus, for a much bonking as Kye done in life, I would have liked to have seen more between him and Genesis. My opinion though.

Audio Review:

I love Jacob Morgan's voice. This is not the first book I've listened to with him, and his southern accent is hot! I seriously could listen to his voice all day. He does such a great job in so his books. He did an amazing job as Kye's voice, and it was what I pictured him to sound like.

I did enjoy Juno Cooper's voice. I loved the light husky rasp in her voice as Genesis. There were certain times in this book where there was pause on her part in the same chapter. Like a 5 second delay or something. I didn't like that much about her parts.

I love how in the Smoke Series that in the dual POV parts, the opposite voice does their voice even if it's not chapter or POV. Like when it was Genesis chapter and POV, Jacob Morgan's voice still came in and read Kye's lines during her chapters. I like hearing the actual male or female talk churning their lines instead of listening to the woman try to talk as a guy or visa-versa.

friends to loverv

Genesis and Kye have been friends since they were kids and she has love him as well. They had a friend name Bowie who she started dating bit she was setting for love and knowing she was never gonna love bowie like she love Kye. So when Bowie propose she said yes she wanted what she what her parents had that love bit Bowie wasnt showing that he just wanted Genesis becuase he knew Genesis was never gonna love him big he dodnt want Kye to have her either. Genesis always took Kye sided no matter what he did Kye will always be first and when Kye come home with a baby her priority were Kyeand Jagger. Bowie started to see he was never going to be first and he end the engagement. Then Kye and Genesis cross the line and she had her first Ooh with out toys because Bowie was selfish and never care if she finished. Kye wanted Genesis but never wanted to loose her friendship if things didnt go.
But Kye wanted everything with Genesis.

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.

I Love This Series

Why do I love this series so much??? Let me tell you that I can't get enough of this world that Abbi has created, and I never want to leave.
This is Kye's book, and he has a story to tell. You do start in the past, and it shows the build of Genesis and Kye's friendship. They have this bond that true best friends have, and I am here for it. This friends to lovers book set in a Mafia world is amazing.

I was hooked from the first moment I listened to this book. I have been waiting for the audio of each one to listen to as they come out, and I love this one as much as the others.
Jacob Morgan and Juno Cooper do a great job with this one. I haven't listened to Juno before, and she will now be on my list to listen to more. Jacob is a favorite that I always enjoy listening to.

I love this series and really love the audio to listen to.

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.
