Maverick Key: Hearts on the Line

A Small Town Romantic Suspense (The Maverick Key Series, Book 1)

By: Margot Keene

Narrated by: Andi Arndt, Gregory Salinas, Tim Paige, Brandon Francis, Angelina Rocca, Robert Fass, Greg Tremblay

Falling in love wasn’t on the agenda. Neither was diving into danger.

Maddie Carter moves to Maverick Key to start over and open her own veterinary clinic, hoping a new beginning will help her cope with the loss of her brother, Nathan. Exploring the small seaside town and being near the ocean they both loved makes her feel closer to him, even if it also reminds her of everything she’s lost.

She doesn’t expect to find a circle of unforgettable friends or to be drawn to Scott, the brooding, protective ex-military cave diver who’s exploring the underwater cave system where Nathan lost his life.

Scott doesn’t believe in second chances. He’s seen what happens when people push limits and tempt fate. The dangers of the deep don’t forgive, and he refuses to let Maddie become another victim.

After Maddie uncovers clues suggesting her brother’s death may not have been an accident, her grief turns into determination. She’ll do whatever it takes for answers, even if it means diving into the same deadly secrets that claimed her brother and may cost her the man she’s falling for.

The Maverick Key Series is best enjoyed in order.

The narrators, Andy Arndt, Gregory Salinas, Tim Paige, Brandon Francis, Angelina Rocca, Robert Fass and Greg Tremblay did an amazing job bringing all of the characters to life. With Keene's exceptional writing skills and each of the talented narrators, this audible is a must have! I highly recommend to anyone who loves suspense, adventure, romance, mystery, and a story filled with emotion.

Amazing descriptions of every detail

This new author has awesome talent. Her story is captivating and had me immediately unwilling to put the book down. Her characters were real. I am looking forward to the next book in the series!

Cave Diving, Second Chance Romantic Suspense

As a Florida girl, certified scuba diver, and romantic suspense junkie, I had to give this book a try. It did not disappoint!
The book felt like reading an ensemble cast miniseries which lent well to the multi-cast audiobook production.
• Andi Arndt as Maddie Carter. I’ve listened to a lot of Andi Arndt performances, and I think my favorite part is her ability to sincerely portray her subject’s perspective through her voice. This is especially crucial to Maddie.
• Gregory Salinas as Scott Rickter. I have not heard a lot of Greg, and I’ve been missing out. His Scott is steady and warm and whispers a lot. Big fan.
• Tim Paige as Dr. Nathan Carter. We didn’t get a lot of Tim here, but he starts us out with the prologue, and it was wonderfully performed.
• Brandon Francis as Wes Harrington. I think this casting was perfect. Wes is a complex character; we get cocky fuckboy (expertly delivered) and serious dive instructor, to concerned friend and self-reflective.
• Angelina Rocca as Hannah Rodriguez. Angelina’s Hannah feels true to the story – she is a confidant and a voice of reason but also so fun. My ears perked up every time! Loved her other characters as well.
• Robert Fass as Dr. Garrett Harlow. I promise that finding your character irritating is a complement! You sounded exactly like how I read him in my head.
• Greg Tremblay as Mark Glassier. SIR. Well done.
I've never read a second chance romance book where you get to see the first shot and what makes it fall apart in the actual book in real time not in a flashback. I have to say on the reread I was way more team Scott. I loved ALL the performances in Chapter 28. Other than the end sequence, it’s my favorite.
This book is full of good little moments; the pacing is well done. There is adventure and explorations of grief. The main relationship was lovely. The romantic suspense was suspensing.
I can’t wait for the second book.
