Crimson Love

The Manor

From USA Today Bestselling Author Brynne Asher comes a small-town, woman-on-the-run, age-gap romance. Oh yeah, there’s a jewelry heist too.

I’d like to say my story began when I almost accidentally killed Jett Parker Cross, but it started long before that.

I wish I could kick this spectacle off with a “not to be dramatic” but it was. After all, Jett just had major surgery. The kind that includes a brand new, life-saving organ.

Say less.

Horrifying. Mortifying. And dramatic.

It doesn’t matter how beautiful his soulful dark eyes are, or that I have to restrain myself from touching his thick, wavy hair. When he laid his hands on me to defend himself, I liked it more than I should have.

It seems almost getting killed brings out the broody grump in Jett, even if he did face death on the regular as an Army Special Forces badass.

I’m officially obsessed.

But Jett has bigger issues. He’s the newest board member for Stonebridge Capital, and some don’t want him there. The last thing he has time for is me.

Or so it seems.

That changes when I receive a message from the life I left behind.

The life I escaped.

I’ve been found, and they want me back. What they really want are the rare jewels I took. Since they were already stolen, I like to think I’m righting wrongs and saving myself in the process.

Jett is determined to protect me. But between his family, my secrets, and him teaching me everything between the sheets, we can’t figure out which way is up.

The stakes are high.

Life and death ... with an emphasis on the death part.

In the end, we want one thing, and it’s more precious than a trust fund or jewels…Each other.

Loved Jett & Lennon

I first picked up Crimson Love when it launched on Kindle, but then pressed pause as soon as Brynne Asher announced the audiobook version was on the way—and honestly, I’m so glad I waited. Emma Wilder and JF Harding absolutely crushed it with their narration.

This story serves up a thrilling blend of high-stakes romantic suspense, layered with raw emotion and sizzling chemistry. From the very first moment Lennon bumped into Jett, I was totally hooked. Their banter? Sharp and hilarious. The twists? Kept me on my toes the whole time. And the chemistry? Oh, it was off the charts—Jett’s intense, “down bad” vibe made him utterly irresistible. Who can resist an MMC with that kind of ache?

I’ve completely fallen for this series and can’t wait to head back to the Manor to dive into Payne’s story next!

Hot! Hot! Hot!

Holy cow this was a roller coaster! The book took off right from the start and had me hooked. So much happened and I loved all the twists.

I rooted for Jett and Lennon from the beginning and melted into a puddle at the epilogue.

I loved getting more of the side characters. They were quirky and fun. I live in a small town and could totally relate to how everyone is in everybody else’s business.

The narrators were so good! They brought Jett and Lennon to life!

I wish Winslet Manor was real because sign me up! I’m looking forward to more in this series.

The perfect performance for the perfect book!

This book left me with a full-blown reading hangover and I am still riding the high!

I first read the book and then jumped into the audiobook as soon as I could. And let me say it made this story really come alive for me. Nikko Austen Smith and Connor Crais absolutely brought these characters to life in a way that pulled me into every moment. Connor captured Jett’s calm intensity and quiet strength perfectly, giving his voice a steady, controlled edge that made every protective moment swoon inducing. Nikko delivered Lennon with so much warmth and emotion all while beautifully showcasing her resilience and vulnerability. Together their performances made the connection between these characters feel even more immediate and real, adding another layer of depth to an already gripping story.

Jett absolutely stole my heart. He was intense, capable, quietly lethal in a calm, controlled way, but underneath all of that was a deeply loyal, emotionally grounded man. There was no ego, no unnecessary alpha posturing, just steady strength and devotion that felt real. And Lennon? I loved her! She was smart, resilient, and emotionally open without ever feeling weak. She brought warmth and heart to the story, and I adored how she held her own while still allowing herself to be vulnerable. Together, they were everything. The trust, the emotional safety, the way their connection built so naturally even while under pressure. It was intimate, intense, and incredibly satisfying to watch unfold.

The story itself was such a perfect blend of romance and action, with just the right amount of danger to keep the tension high without overshadowing the relationship. I loved seeing familiar faces, and the new characters were instantly compelling in that “I already need your book” kind of way. Brynne Asher just knows how to build a world that feels lived-in, interconnected, and addictive. This was fast-paced, emotionally rich, and just pure, addictive romantic suspense done right.

Fantastic!

Wow, this book was fantastic from beginning to end! Lennon and Jett were amazing together!
We first met Lennon as the general manager at the Manor in Beautiful Revenge. I knew she had secrets, but I had no idea what was coming.
We also met Jett, who is Harlow‘s long lost brother in need of a kidney. When these two literally crash into each other the adventure begins and so does their love story.
I absolutely loved this story! There were so many twists and turns, laugh out loud moments and everything you’ve come to expect from a Brynne Asher book. Buckle up you’re in for a wild ride. The narrators did an amazing job bringing these characters to life.
Definitely a five stars!

Lennon and Jett

Crimson Love is book 2 in this series. I was so excited Jett and Lennon were the main characters. Lennon has a mystery about her because of her past. Jett is learning where he fits after his recovery. These two are perfect for each other. When chaos from the past shows up and other things are happening they stick together. I love getting to see characters from other books. I also love the banter of the characters in the sweet small town of Winsor. This book is written beautifully and I can't wait to read it again.

The narrators were perfect for Jett and Lennon's characters. I've listened to Emma Wilder and JF Harding narrate many other books. Having read the ebook first, I was really able to focus on the narrators bringing this book to life. I was drawn in even more!
