About this listen

A man who lost his future...

Macon Miles knows what it means to make sacrifices for his country. Married to his high school sweetheart, he once had a promising future in the military and everything seemed complete. All that changed when a routine patrol in Afghanistan turned into a nightmare. When the dust settled, Macon had lost his career, his wife, and his leg. Lost and alone, his only comfort comes from his newfound love of cooking. When his estranged brother, Adam, offers him a new home and a chance to work at a friend's restaurant in Dallas, it's an offer he can't refuse.

A woman searching for the past...

Allyson Jones made her foster mother a deathbed promise. She would find out what really happened to Ronnie in Afghanistan. Ally doesn't believe the army's reports about her foster brother's death, and she knows only one man can tell her what really happened - Macon Miles. Following him to Dallas, she gets a job working alongside him at Top, Sean Taggart's decadent new restaurant. She is sure Macon is hiding something about Ronnie's death, and she'll do whatever it takes to unravel the mystery.

When circumstances force Macon and Ally together, their chemistry is hotter than any dish at Top. But when Ally's deception is exposed and the truth about Ronnie's death is revealed, will they be able to reclaim the love they've lost?

I am voluntarily writing this honest review after listening to a #gifted ALC of this novel via Valentine PR. All opinions expressed are my own. Luscious, by Lexi Blake, is the first book in the spin-off series Masters and Mercenaries: Topped. Macon Miles lost his leg, his military career, and his wife after an IED explosion in Afghanistan. His estranged brother moved him to Dallas and got him a job as a pastry chef in his friend’s restaurant, Topped. Allyson Jones made her foster mother a promise on her death bed that she would find out what happened to her foster brother, Ronnie. She was convinced that Macon was withholding information, and followed him to Texas where she got a job at the same restaurant. When circumstances threw the two together, their chemistry was combustible and Macon introduced Ally to the world of BDSM. When her secrets were revealed, would they be able to get back the love they lost? I really enjoyed listening to this seven hour long novella. The narrator, Lance Greenfield, did a really good job narrating this spicy, open door, third person, dual POV audiobook. His narration style is expressive and easy listening. I enjoyed this look back in the past to stories of the parents of the characters in the Masters and Mercenaries: New Recruits spin-off, and there were appearances by many of the characters who make that series so delightful as well as early glimpses of the new recruits as young children. This contemporary romantic suspense novella was originally published in 2015 and released in audio in 2023. It includes tropes such as BDSM, Veteran MMC, FMC in foster care, secrets, close proximity, found family and workplace romance. This was a short love story which ended somewhat abruptly, but was well written. I enjoyed Mason and Ally and the way they fit into the Masters and Mercenaries community. If you enjoy funny, spicy, romantic suspense then this might be an audiobook for you.

Macon and Allyson meet by chance, which is highly orchestrated by Allyson. She wants answers, he literally only to forget. Within a few weeks they seem to work their way around each other and when truths are revealed, it’s not only her that has to face it but him s well. Sweet story.
