Awesome Story & Listen Riveting & Intense!
Cutter’s Hope
The Virtues, Book I
By: A.J. Downey
Narrated by: Bob Carter, Tammy Thomas
Wow, I loved everything about this book, from A.J. Downey’s wonderful writing style to the story and characters she created. The book grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it all the way to the end. It is the type of book you can’t put down because you need to know what happens next. The characters are realistic and easy to relate to, I adored the two leads, Hope and Cutter. Hope Elizabeth Andrews is fierce, a badass who does not stand down to anyone even badass bikers. She has been search for her sister who disappeared. A lead brings her to a bar in Florida and an MC, she questing them about Faith’s roommate, Tonya, she may have info on her whereabouts. When she starts asking questions that may cause problems for Cutter and the rest of the members of the Krakens MC. Cutter met his match in Hope, actually the whole club did, took them a while to learn to trust her but once they did she not only earned their trust but their respect too. I loved how everything played out in this book, from Cutter and Hope’s romance to challenges she faced hunting down her sister. The book is brilliantly plotted and there is never a dull moment, there is plenty of drama, heartfelt emotions, some angst, some mystery, thrilling and suspenseful moments and some hot loving. A.J. Downey, thank you for this awesome story, loved the characters, the club dynamic and the camaraderie amongst the members.
I listened to the Audible edition, Bob Carter and Tammy Thomas are terrific narrators and voice artists. They do an amazing job portraying the characters, bringing them to life, giving each their own voice and personality, as well as heart and attitude. They capture and project the characters emotions into their performance. Bob Carter’s take on Cutter was perfection, he sounded as I pictured him to. It took me a little while to get used to Tammy’s Hope but she grew on me after a while. These two are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the awesome listen
Holy cow, this was so good! I didn’t think Cutter would get a book after what happened but I’m flipping happy he did, and he got his exact match, I love it!
After reading the Sacred Hearts MC series by this author, I knew I had to read more. I found that this first story in the Virtues series was next on the reading list, so picked up the whole set. I started, thinking I’d read just a little at lunch each day. It ended up grabbing me by the heartstrings and dragging me along for one of the best rides I’ve ever had. I couldn’t put this book down, and finished it in two days. I highly recommend you read the SHMC series first, but you won’t be disappointed when you pick this one up. Definitely worth more than five stars.
This was such a thriller. I was on the edge of my seat as I turned the page. If you have read Sacred Hearts Series (And you really should—so AMAZING!!!!!) then are familiar with the Kraken MC and their president, Cutter.
Cutter has been mourning the loss of Hayden to Reaver’s arms. He has no hope of finding love until well, Hope. Hope changes
Hope has almost given up. She has searched for her sister, Faith, for the last two years. Her last hope is Tonya who was last seen with the Kraken MC.
Not all hope is lost. Hope just fits with the MC. Hope fits perfect in Cutter’s arms. With one phone call, Hope and the MC head into danger. Move over Mission Impossible, the real heroes are heading your way on two wheels and there is nothing that will stop them.
If you have read the Sacred Hearts MC series then you are familiar with Cutter. You do not have to read the other series to enjoy this one, but it does give some back story to this book. Cutter and Hope both weren’t looking for love. Hope lands in Cutter’s world trying to find her sister. What Hope finds is she not only falls for Cutter for she finds a partner.
Fantastic read!
It was absolutely wonderful to have a strong, alpha female heroine like Hope and to have a guy like Cutter who appreciates her for what she is . Great that Cutter could get his own story while extracating himself from that weird, Reaver drama to find a woman for himself. Loved the characters, loved the storyline, looking forward to the next one in the series!
