About this listen

Imperial Stout
Layla Reyne spins off from her pulse-pounding Agents Irish and Whiskey books with Imperial Stout, the first installment in the Trouble Brewing series

It’s a good thing assistant US attorney Dominic Price co-owns a brewery. He could use a cold one. Nic’s star witness has just been kidnapped, his joint operation with the FBI is in jeopardy, his father’s shady past is catching up with him and the hot new special agent in San Francisco is the kind of distraction best handled with a stiff drink.

Kidnap and rescue expert Cameron Byrne has his own ideas about how to handle Nic, but his skills are currently needed elsewhere. The by-the-book FBI agent goes deep undercover as a member of an infamous heist crew in order to save Nic’s witness, break up the crew and close the case before anyone else gets hurt. Nic in particular.

Things heat up when Cam falls for Nic, and the witness falls for Cam. As the crew’s suspicions grow, Cam must decide how far he’s willing to go—and how far into his own dark past he’s willing to dive—to get everyone out alive.


Craft Brew
Assistant US attorney Dominic Price is staring down the barrel of his father’s debts. The bull’s-eye on his back makes him a threat to everyone he cares about, so when his lover wants to go public with their relationship, he bolts. Not because he isn’t in love—he can’t stomach the thought of putting Cam in danger.

Kidnap and rescue expert Cameron Byrne is determined to figure out what trouble Nic is running from, but devastating news from home brings him back to Boston and to the cold case that has haunted his family for two decades. Shoving aside his pride, he calls Nic for help.

Together they search for answers, navigating the minefield of Cam’s past. But when they get too close to the truth, Cam must use every skill in his arsenal to save the man he loves…before it’s too late.


Noble Hops
Everything Dominic Price has worked hard to uphold is about to come crashing down on everything he holds dear.

So much for the quiet life. Just as assistant US attorney and brewery owner Dominic Price is settling into a comfy new chapter with his partner, FBI agent Cameron Byrne, the sudden death of Nic’s father puts their happily-ever-after in jeopardy. Nic immediately suspects foul play, his prime suspect a notorious gangster his father was indebted to—only now the loan shark is out for blood.
Cam has been longing for Nic to finally let him in on this very personal case. But when Nic’s belief that he’s the sole Price heir is upended, the line between personal and professional starts to blur, leaving Cam unsure of where he stands.

Nic is depending on Cam’s kidnap and rescue expertise to save his recently discovered family member before it’s too late. But with a dangerous threat closing in, the ghosts from Nic’s past cast long shadows. Any relationship could crack under the pressure, but for Nic, finding his family might mean losing the love of his life.

This series is a spinoff of the Irish and Whiskey books. I love the way this seamlessly takes over from the Irish and Whiskey stories of the first series. We know Cam and Nic really well now as they featured a lot towards the end of the first series. We also have lots of cameo's from characters from that series in this one. I really how all of the plots for all three books are laid out in book one and they gradually unfold around each other and then focus as each new entry starts.
The first is Imperial Stout which involves a complicated investigation with lost of twists and turns. It is about a heist of precious artefacts which sees Cam go undercover, while an adjacent story line has Nic in the sights of an enemy who is actually after his father. All quite complicated but with the regular Layla Reyne fast paced dialogue and action to keep the reader guessing. Great fun and looking forward to the next one.
The second is Craft Brew. I did not expect this middle story to go back to deal with the loss of Cam's sister, especially as it started with Nic escaping the ongoing threats due to his fathers failed business ventures. The unfolding of the cold case against the background of Cam's mum being in hospital, alongside a fresh abduction case kept the pace roaring along.
The third is Noble Hops which is action packed with a villain worthy of hating, and additional bad guys who you are really hoping get their comeuppance. Our hero's grow closer and their relationship really starts to take off now. Add in a twist with unexpected family members from the past turning up at just the right (or wrong) time and this has everything.
I started these stories with Irish and Whiskey book 1, so this one is the 8th in the collection so far. I have enjoyed all of these, and as mentioned above, this is a very fine ending to the story of Cam and Nic. For now
Tristan James, one of my favourite narrators, gives an excellent performance throughout.

Great spinoff series
