CJ Mission and Jill Redfield do an amazing job with narrating this story. I really love the duet style they use in narrating. Both narrators drew me into the story with the emotion and passion they inject in the story. I especially love chapter 33; it had my pulse racing!

The Rumble and the Glory is the start of a brand-new series from JA Huss set in the hills of West Virginia. Collin Creed and Lowyn McBride were in love and had plans for the future, until one night changed everything. Collin up and left, leaving Lowyn behind to figure out what to do now. Twelve years later, Collin just suddenly appears back in town again, and once again Lowyn is left to figure out what to do now.

I really like the set up and concept of this story. Three distinct towns in the hills of West Virginia, Disciple, Revenant and Bishop. Each vastly different but all contributing to the eight months out of every year that they put on a full-scale tent revival. Each resident has a specific part to play in the production.

Disciple is the town that hosts the whole revival, with huge tents and a fire and brimstone preacher, fainting ladies in the audience and people miraculously cured. It’s a very, very lucrative “business” that all the townspeople profit from. Bishop is the quaint little town with horse drawn carriages, a beautiful Bed and Breakfast Inn that draws people in from all over who come to see the revival. And Revenant is the bad boy of towns, with motorcycle gangs and plenty of bars and debauchery for those who want to experience the wild side.

Lowyn and Collin grew up in the town of Disciple, and while Collin has been off doing whatever, Lowyn has made quite a name for herself with her antique store, McBooms. She’s always wondered what happened to Collin. She knew he joined the Marines, but he got kicked out after two years, so what’s he been doing for the past ten years?

As is typical JA Huss, this story has plenty of twists and turns and revelations that come to light that makes you stop and say, “shut up!” Collin is supposedly back in town because he bought property to start his own private security company, but is that the only reason he’s back? And what kind of secrets are he and his three partners keeping over there in that compound, down in that bunker below the old church?

As many secrets as Lowyn wonders about Collin having, she’s harboring her fair share as well, and as the story rolled out, we find out in bits and pieces just exactly what Lowyn’s been doing all this time. And a little bit of what Collin’s been doing, but I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more to be revealed, and what he’s got planned for the future.

I really loved all the characters we met in this first book. I particularly loved Amon and Rosie, Clover and Bryn, and especially Mercy!

I honestly had no idea where this story was going to go, but I was hanging on for the ride! And the revelations we get at the end? As usual, Julie blew my mind with what is revealed and what happens. There’s so much more to come, and Julie has told her readers that she plans for this series to be a long one and I am so excited to be here for it!

My favorite book in the Vegas Crush series!

Okay, Puck Money has officially become my favorite book in the Vegas Crush series! Boris and Natalia are such a sweet couple together!

John Lane and Mackenzie Cartwright do an excellent job of portraying Boris and Talia. They are spot on in their inflections and emotions of the story. John does a great job of getting into character and nailing the accents of Boris and the Russian hockey players and characters in the story.

I really enjoyed this audio and got totally immersed in the story. Boris and Talia are perfect together, and as I said, this story is my favorite of this series!
