Publisher's summary
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

Story
Every Kringle in Kringletown loved Christmas a lot. But Cole Black on Whistler Lane, unfortunately did not. Cole was a recluse during the Kringle Christmas season. No one knew why, no one could quite give a reason. Martha said it was because he was alone and very single. Mae believed it was because he was never named the town Kringle. But to me, the reason is a storyline far too sad. For at the age of eighteen, he lost both mom and dad. Whatever the reason, his parents or being single, He spends Christmas in the dark, hating the cheery people of Kringle.

Especially when you find out they work for your dad—after you’ve already slept with them. Moving to my parents’ small town was supposed to be the fresh start I was looking for. When a disastrous Valentine’s Day leads to an unexpected encounter with a sexy stranger, and ends with the hottest night of my life, I didn’t think I would ever see Whip again.

I’ve slapped my cuffs on Luna Lancaster too many times to count and not a single one was for fun. As the sheriff of Starlight Cove, I shouldn't crave her, but I do. She’s chaos, mayhem, and sunshine wrapped up in too-tight yoga pants. The lawbreaker might have the town enamored with her free spirit, but she’s a thorn in my side, even if she is the sexiest woman I've ever seen. I want her out of my town and out of my head. Trouble is, she's made it perfectly clear she's not going anywhere.

It was supposed to be a one-night stand with a sinfully gorgeous stranger. A man I’d never see again. I was stranded, he had a hotel room (which I had broken into), and the rest is history. Until he shows up at my doorstep five years later with a marriage proposal. Not to marry him, though. Turns out he’s a hitman for the Irish Mob, and his boss needs a wife. The man I’d been dreaming about for years has chosen me. For someone else.

I used to have big dreams: finish college, make beautiful art, all while taking over my dad’s business. He wanted a legacy, and I wanted to give it to him. But his illness wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was his sudden need to keep me locked up in our mansion, safe and isolated. I want more from life, but could only spend my days waiting. Until one night, I came face-to-face with a street biker from a world far different from mine. What starts as him stalking me, quickly spirals into something deeper, and more deadly.

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.

I never planned to give my V-card to a gorgeous stranger I met at a bar. But for once I didn't let myself overthink things. In the few hours we spent together, he managed to push me outside my comfort zone. And I loved every second. I never expected to see him again. Let alone sitting at the head of the boardroom table during my architectural firm's pitch to design his new hotel chain.

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.

Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have. Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

For 21 years, I’ve lived a relatively quiet life in Cascade Falls. But there’s more than meets the eye to our small tourist town, and I seem to get caught up in a not-so-hidden criminal empire that I never wanted any part of. The tangle I'd much rather get caught up in? The heartfelt boy next door who I’ve been crushing on for years. The sexier than sin liar who has made it his mission to keep me. The man who already has my heart but could never have my body. The sweet southern gentlemen whose darkness can’t be tamed.

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

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.

Fantastic narration!
RATING: ✩✩✩✩✩
SPICE: 𓃹𓃹𓃹.5
Celeste! I loved her from the moment I met her in Burning Ivy. In this book she grapples not only with what her future will look like, the impressed upon notion to “play their game”, but she also struggles with where she fits in Ivy’s new world.
“If you’re going nowhere, I’m coming with you.”
The highlight of their friendship was one of the many things I loved about this book.
Oof!! & some of these scenes 🫠 I knew Liam was gonna be something else.
This man! This woman! Liam & Celeste are such a smart, fiery duo. Their dislike for one another & banter during their initial interactions sparks the match for their battle of wills. It’s hot! & seeing their relationship evolve was even hotter. But with the spice also comes another compelling storyline for Brandy Hynes.
I clearly liked it so much I read it twice! I was fortunate enough to get an ALC. Narrators Angelina Rocca & Aiden Snow had my jaw on the floor with their performances. Perfection! I’m a sucker for duet, & this had me fully captivated. Make sure to read Burning Ivy prior to picking this baby up.

Book 2 has me falling deeper in love!
*ALC review* How do you make me love a book that I've already read and loved? You cast Angelina Rocca and Aiden Snow as the FMC/MMC and let them work their magic!! I already loved Liam and Celeste's story, but the passion and emotions that Angelina and Aiden brought to these characters made me fall even harder! It enhanced so many parts that I was already familiar with, but each scene that unfolded felt fresh and new as if I hadn't already known what was going to happen. Banter that was already so good in the book, were that much better brought to life by these narrators! Thank you so much to Wordsmith Publicity for allowing me a chance to listen to this story and experience the world of Kort all over again!

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.

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!

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.
Audio:
Narrators: Angelina Rocca and Aiden Snow
Narration style: Duet
Both narrators did an amazing job bringing the story and characters to life. They both had the perfect voice for their respective character, and they definitely made this an enjoyable listening experience.

Liam and Celeste
I devoured this book!! I was obsessed with Burning Ivy and couldn’t see how this book could top it but it did! Move over Wells and make room for Liam.
I am obsessed with this book. It was so well written and descriptive, I love Brandy’s writing style. In Burning Ivy I was curious about Liam so I was so excited we got to know more about him in this book.
Liam and Celeste are perfect for each other. I loved their story. They had the best banter and chemistry. Celeste was such a great FMC. She was strong and loyal but she went through so much in this book. I really felt for her and how she was broken but trying to always be strong for everyone else. I was so happy with her character growth.
Liam was the ideal morally grey MMC. He was possessive, obsessed, but then also had a soft side and was vulnerable with Celeste and I honestly ate it up.
I also really enjoy the found family aspect of the book. The group as a whole has the best banter. Celeste and Ivy would do anything for each other.
This book had me on my toes!! I was literally screaming at the end and my mouth dropped! There were so many twists and secrets revealed that I did not see coming and I could not get enough.
I listened to the audio of this book and the narrators did a fantastic job! Aiden Snow was perfect for Liam!!! I also enjoyed Angelica Rocca for Celeste. Both of the narrators really became the characters, and it made me not want to stop listening.

Owning Celeste
Fantastic! Angelina Rocca and Aiden Snow do a wonderful job as Celeste and Liam. Just closing your eyes and listening to their chemistry will give you goose bumps. It was a great addition to an already riveting series. Irresistible and thought-provoking! Brandy Hynes delivers another fantastic read with book 2 in the Kort series. I could not get enough of Celeste and Liam and how intense their chemistry was. It was wonderful to see that he was able to find his own woman to love and worship, even if they did go through so many twists and turns. I can't wait for more!

OH my God! If I thought book one was good.. This book *chef's kiss* Brandy Haynes hasn't disappointed me AT ALL! I absolutely love how she's made this series so tastefully. All these men could love these women and to show the different levels of love and it not be a weird Tangled mess amazing. And the spice in this one specifically whoa. I absolutely love Liam. And yes I still love wells. I love them! Every single one of them I said it. Can't wait for the whole series. And the audiooooooooooo oh my God the narrators were and ARE amazing. 🫠🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️❤️
