About this listen
Never let them see. Always keep them guessing. Play their game.
Drowning and rising. Burning and dying.
Corruption and chaos. A heart in a box.
Snick. Flick. Flame.
LIAM
She’s my secret. My answer. My Ace.
I’m a cabal leader for KORT—not a man who gets involved. Never for more than a night.
Certainly not with Celeste Carver—a Daddy’s girl whose biggest problem is which politician to marry.
All I want is a taste.
But the pretentious princess burrows under my skin. And I’m tired of being polite.
Once she’s claimed, there’s no going back.
Not without ending up six feet under.
CELESTE
The Carver name comes with expectations. A legacy.
But no matter how hard I try or how much I hate him, my attention swings to Liam Graves.
Forbidden fruit.
He’s all golden god meets dark angel. Unhinged trouble.
Good thing I have a skilled poker face and a steel determination.
But in a blink, it all spins out of control.
Freedom is captivity.
Dead is alive.
Choice is a butchered pipe dream.
Unless I’m the one holding all the cards.
While the novel can stand alone, significant character development and important details about the character’s lives will be missed without first listening to BURNING IVY.
What to expect:
Jealous/Possessive Hero
Mafia/Secret Society
Found Family
Forbidden/ Secret Relationship
Close Proximity
He falls first and falls Hard
Action/Suspense
Touch her and Die

She’s my mission. My prize. My obsession. Ivy Kingston is the most wanted woman in the world for reasons she is completely oblivious to, reasons I intend to capitalize on. She needs a husband to receive her inheritance, so I’m on the hunt for a wife. As long as it’s her. I’m not who she thinks I am. But she has no idea who she really is either. I’ll be her groom. Her keeper. Her lover. And quite possibly her demise.

Ember Solis is a sweet girl from a not-so-innocent world. When it comes time for her to venture out to the real world—to the college of her dreams—Ember is released from the shelter of her home, straight into bad boy and sworn enemy, Ash Ortiz’s addictive spell. Ash teaches Ember everything he knows but soon, the student becomes the master. Ember emerges from the depths of her inexperience to discover she is stronger than she seems. But there is a bigger price to pay for loving Ash, and the way that Ember views her past, her present and her future will never be the same.

Three words to describe Kennedy Carter? Smart. Driven. Killer legs. See also: my last hope of winning a national football championship. Okay, so technically that’s more than three, but I’ve got bigger problems at the moment. Thanks to a drunken dare, Waverly University is short a kicker and with the home opener in three weeks, I’ll do whatever it takes to lead my team to victory. Even if it means poaching talent from the women’s soccer team. Or recruiting a sassy, STEM-loving feminist who wants nothing to do with football or me.

Story
Pretending to date my handsome new housemate was already a bad idea, but then I discover he’s no ordinary guy—he’s a mobster in hiding. And in this story, he’s not the hero, but the wicked villain. Rowan Miller isn’t used to hearing the word “no.” I guess when you’re 6’5, gorgeously tattooed, and sculpted like a Michelangelo masterpiece, women tend to throw themselves at you. But in a small town like Darkwater Hollow, a reputation as a womanizer will catch up with you—and your business—eventually.

Agent Bradly "Wolfe" Tucker has one case he cannot solve: six murdered women and a cold trail leading nowhere. When bodies with an eerily similar MO show up in Philadelphia, he volunteers to assist with the case. He figures he will spend a few days in Philly, hand the case off, and head back to his life in Seattle. But everything changes when he stops at a local bar, looks across the room, and sees her. Agent Leda Bailey has had a bad week. She has three dead women and no trail to follow. The clues don't add up, and nothing makes sense.

You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well. Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me.

It’s not easy being a woman working in a male dominated field. Add in the fact that my uncle owns the baseball team I work for, and proving I belong here is a constant battle. Dating a player was never an option. Not if I wanted to keep a shred of dignity and respect. Then Ronan Sinclair sits down next to me in first class with his alluring blue eyes and hard-to-resist dimples. To say nothing of his kindness and charm, or his determination to convince me that a steamy vacation fling is what we both need.

Forced to marry a man I’ve never met, attend a private university I’d never heard of, and the whispers of a rumored secret society filling the halls. This life would be near unbearable with my insufferable fiancé if it wasn’t for his uncle, his best friend, and his enemy. When none of them are willing to let me go, it sends us down a path I’m not sure any of us will survive. The life I was promised is distorted behind smoke and mirrors. The truth cloaked by Deceit.

I made a mistake that might have ruined someone's life. I've moved to Sydney to avoid the glares and the questions from the people back home, but there's one thing I can't run from--the guilt and pain that follows me relentlessly. All I can do is dull it with alcohol and casual sex. But then my new boss, Mr Dark and Delicious, deserted me, mid kiss, with my skirt hiked up and my shirt discarded on the alley floor. I should hate him—him and the secrets he's keeping. But I can't stay away. Because the pain and guilt he's hiding mirror my own.

This Series Just Keeps Getting Better
Carving Graves is book 2 in The KORT Series and once again, another page turner! The secrets and twists had me biting my nails the entire time. The relationship between Liam and Celeste was both spicy and swoon worthy. The spice was top notch and once again I fell in love with this little found family. I enjoyed the glimpses into Wells and Ivy’s life and the banter between everyone.
The attention to detail in this book and the way the narrators brought it to life was so amazing it was like I was seeing a movie in my head as I read. The narration was phenomenal. This is hands down my favorite performance from Aiden Snow to date. He was the perfect Liam; that deep and growly voice was perfect for not only delivering the dirty talk and possessiveness but he also portrayed Liam’s vulnerable side so well. Angelina Rocco brought Celeste’s fierce and fiery personality to life perfectly. The two both brought so much emotion to their performances as they brought this fantastic story to life.

✨ DEFINITELY A ‘ONE CLICK’ AUTHOR FROM NOW ON ✨
Firstly, if you haven’t already listened to Burning Ivy (book 1) in the series, please - please - please start there - otherwise you’ll be doing yourself, this book and Brandy Hynes a grave disservice. Because, apart from being an awesome listen, there’s so much detail about the characters, their backgrounds and motivations, their friendships and dynamics, the dangerous complex world they’re center stage in and their damaged hearts that’ll each be given to strong women. It’s the foundation stone to the secret KORT society series. However, if you have already listened to book 1, then you already know what this new and talented author is capable of, you’ve tasted her action packed drama, you’ve probably jumped straight here from book 1 (like I did) and you’re probably excited for Liam and Celeste’s rollercoaster to unfurl. And I’m happy to confirm it doesn’t disappoint.
Celeste is living a princess legacy she doesn’t want, her whole persona is fake and she longs to be seen as her true self. Liam is top table KORT cabal, he and his teammates make people disappear.. either by arrangement.. or by crossing them! There’s been friction between these two from first meeting in book 1. Misunderstandings, misjudgements and a lot of verbal missiles thrown both ways. However, beneath it all, their sizzling chemistry burns and you just know the countdown’s started, it’s going to be explosive and the fallout will be fire.. which it most definitely was🥰😉🪭. But, like the previous book, there’s so much more to unpack and unravel too. The brotherhood of these four men is awesome. Ivy and Celeste’s bff bond and changing dynamics within the group is heartwarming. And, the alpha possessiveness, growth, purpose, secrets, suspense, twists, tension, loyalty, heat and love that’s weaved into and wrapped around this absolutely delicious story, created a very addictive listen. And a big plus is the duet-style five star voice acting by Aiden and Angelica which brought the characters and chapters to life - so it was easy to imagine the scenes as they played out as one delicious chapter moves quickly to the another.
Worth a credit? Yes, definitely.. it’s well-paced, very entertaining, sizzles and leans heavily on found family bonds. And now I’m jumping straight into book 3.

Obsessed!
This is the second book in the Kort Series and is best enjoyed after reading the first. It’s a fantastic continuation of the world introduced through Ivy and Wells, but this time, the focus is on Liam and Celeste. Their dynamic is filled with tension, frustration, and undeniable intrigue. Once Liam decides Celeste is his, he refuses to let anything stand in his way, while Celeste struggles with meeting expectations that don’t align with her true desires.
I loved watching them grow together, helping each other heal from past insecurities and trauma. The narrators did an outstanding job, capturing Liam’s gruff demeanor and Celeste’s sass perfectly. Just like the first book, the attention to detail in this one was incredible. If you loved book one, you’ll definitely love this one too. A must listen!

Currently on ch 25
I love the plot so far…and I’ve always been open-minded in regard to narrators bc I haven’t read any of these books..
However, I did listen to Burning Ivy first and I think that’s why I’m disappointed in Celeste in this book-in the 1st book her personality was more outgoing, especially in conversations with Ivy directly; and she was more snippy when the crew showed up in Paris.
So far, Celeste is disappointing me-I know we’re supposed to get more insight to her thoughts (and actually I relate to these thoughts) but even when she has conversations with Ivy or any of the guys now, she comes off as very self conscious and has a lot of self doubt so far when she’s interacting with any of the guys…I guess in this book I expected more of her based on her former personality

Snick...Flick...Flame! Loved this!!!
Carving Graves is book #2 in the K.O.R,T. series and it is just as thrilling as book #1. **If you haven't read book #1, you are definitely getting spoilers with this story. Liam puts on a mask to hide years of abuse and pain, never showing his real self, never getting close to anyone. Until Celeste Carver. She's got a job to do for her family...marry a politician. She and Liam butt heads until that heated passion finds them in Smexytown. Another age-gap, uber protective, dark romance filled with suspense, intrigue and betrayal. This is a standalone with no cliffhanger. Just a sweet little tease for Ty's story!
The narration is *chef's kiss* perfect! Aiden Snow and Angelina Rocca bring ALL the Liam and Celeste vibes to their performance. This duo is 5/5 spice-filled stars!!

The Game changer and His Ace
Where do I begin? First one of my favorite tropes which is an addictive enemies-to-lovers romance that completely captivated me. Celeste and Liam are unforgettable—she’s the polished, duty-bound "princess" hiding her cracks, and he’s the dangerously unhinged cabal leader who sees straight through her mask. Their chemistry is explosive, and the tension between them is electric as they navigate corruption, chaos, and a game where the stakes are life and death.
The story is packed with twists that kept me on edge, especially with lines like “Never let them see. Always keep them guessing. Play their game.” ringing true for both characters. Two of my favorite narrators, Angelina Rocca and Aiden Snow, brought so much depth to Celeste and Liam—her vulnerability and his raw intensity felt so real. Their performances made this already gripping story impossible to pause.
I'm patiently waiting for Tytan's story...

I swear this series just keeps getting better...
Book two in the KORT series picks up just a little bit after where we left off in book one. Celeste has come to stay with Ivy and the guys for a bit. She's stuck between finding her own path and the pressure to follow the path her family is pushing her down. Unfortunately that path is pushing her to find a nice, boring politician to settle down with. Meanwhile she's finding it harder and harder to ignore her growing feelings for Liam.
Liam is so sure he knows exactly who Celeste is and what she wants out of life. The other guys in their tightknit, found family are finding ways to learn more about Celeste as a person and connecting with her in their own unique ways. This definitely goes a long way to get Liam to open his eyes and actually see her past the mask she puts on for everyone.
Along the way they try to unravel the mystery of who is after Celeste and her family and what's so important that it puts her in constant danger. Liam is determined to get Celeste to break free and stand up for herself while she's determined not to let her family down. Their journey is so intense, emotional, spicy, and just fantastic.
This book was so good! The nontraditional family they're all building is so amazing. I'm sitting over here making a wish list of potential books in this world. I want all their stories including the Noires and anyone else we collect along the way. Such a great world to dive into. Just two books in and it's definitely a series on my list to re-read later on down the road when I can binge them all when it's complete. I can't wait for Ty's story next.
AUDIOBOOK UPDATE: This was done in a duet style narration with a couple of great narrators bringing this story to life. The audiobook was a re-read for me and just made me fall in love with this story and this world as a whole all over again. So good!

Mind altering
SNICK. FLICK. FLAME.
After reading Burning Ivy, I was obcessed. How did it take me so long to come across this author and her amazing series. This brings me to a whole nother level of mafia romance, I didn't know I was obcessed with.
Celeste Carver is Ivy's best friend and has a legacy of her own that she is expected to live up to. One she does not want. Liam Graves is a cabal leader for KORT who doesn’t get involved. Except where Celeste is involve. These two have chemistry that will alter everything.
With Celeste having worked her whole life to please her family, will Liam be the choice that she trades it all for? His tortured past has made him the man he is. The lifestyle that is forced upon Celeste is not one that Liam can stand by and let her suffer through. The way these two needed each other is mind altering.
Brandy has a way with words and captivating you from the very first page. The on page chemistry can be felt in your soul. The characters and their stories are pure perfection and leave you wanting so much more.
I listened to the audio version of this narrated by Angelina Rocca & Aiden Snow. These two brought these characters to life and I loved every minute of it.

After reading and loving Burning Ivy I had to read Liam and Celeste’s story. I found the audio and grabbed it. It did not disappoint. I loved it just as much!
This book has it all…dark mafia, FBI/CIA secret societies and those who can’t be mentioned AND a romance that will make you drool! Not to mention Liam’s three friends he was a navy seal with, Ty, Wells and Gage.
This book is filled with angst, suspense and mystery. Most importantly you get to watch Liam and Celeste fall in love.
We should all be lucky enough to have 4 men protect us and love us unconditionally
I can’t wait to read Ty and Gage’s books and see what fierce ladies win their hearts!
IMO this is a must read series!

Action packed
Carving Graves is the second book in the KORT series, and it can be read as a standalone, but reading the first book helps with the reading experience.
It’s been a while since I’ve read Burning Ivy, the first book, and I forgot the whole secret society aspect. But I loved it and how they were all so protective of each other; it was like their found family.
Now, Liam and Celeste. Wheew, they hated each other, but they also could not stay away from each other. The tension, the banter, the chemistry between them? So good.
This is action-packed, and it’s full of suspense. There were plot twists I didn’t see coming, and I love when that happens. I enjoyed this, and I can’t wait for the next book.
