About this listen

Narrated in duet by Troy Duran and Vanessa Edwin!

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. And her spree of minor infractions—who runs a yoga class without a license?—is hitting dangerously close to home. Her latest protest has her chained to a tree on the boundary of my family’s resort. The last thing we need is bad press ruining the short tourism season when the resort is already one bad month away from bankruptcy.

I'll do whatever it takes to save Starlight Cove. Even if that means handcuffing Luna to my bed.

Sweet and Sexy!

Brady and Luna's story is loads of fun. Brady is a grumpy alpha sheriff of the town and Luna, being new to the town of Starlight Cove, seems determined to drive him crazy! The clashes between the two are fierce but the chemistry burns hotter.

This audiobook is the start of the series and the series seems very promising. As my first book by Brighton Walsh, I am impressed and look forward to more Starlight Cove!

This audiobook was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Fun Read

Book 1 of the Starlight Cove Series follows Luna & Brady. Luna is a free spirited, carefree, passionate about and willing to fight for what she believes in van living Nomad who has come to Starlight Cove to protest the development of some land by a big box store, she has been there a month already and had frequent run ins with the town Sherrif Brady. Brady is the eldest of the McKenzie siblings who are trying to keep their family business alive and are in desperate need of some some good publicity so Luna chaining herself to trees etc next to their property isn't helping. Brady is very black & white and steadfast when it comes to rules whereas Luna sees rules more as guidelines so these two are very much opposites but the attraction/chemistry between them is combustible.

This is a quick and fun read, it is a good introduction to this new series, we meet and get to know a little about each of the McKenzie siblings, it is low angst/drama has good humour and excellent spice. There isn't much in the way of plot or relationship development between Luna & Brady, the physical aspect between them very much drives this story in my opinion and I would have liked more emotional connection than we got. But if you're in need of a lighthearted, easy, fun, spicy read this is for you. I listened to the Audiobook that is done in Duet style narration by Vanessa Edwin & Troy Duran both of whom I really enjoy as performers, they did a great job with this as always. This was a reread for me and I enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. 🌶🌶🌶

Brady & Luna

Defiant Heart was my first Brighton Walsh book and I’m not sure how to explain to myself why that is.
The book was sweet, with a bit of angst, banter and absolutely romantic. An easy listen with not much drama, perfect for those days when all you want is to smile at the world. I’m hooked in the series so I’m looking forward to listen to the rest of the books.

What can I say about the narrators that hasn’t been said before? I love Troy Duran. He gives his all to his characters and Brady was no exception. Vanessa Edwin was brilliant as Luna.

Love the narrators

These narrators are actual SAG members, and it shows. They make every funny line actually funny, and make the whole cast of characters come alive. Great steam!

I only wish it were a little longer :-)
