About this listen

I’m not looking for a mate, but then Rick walks into my life....

Work hard. Play hard. Never fall in love. I’ve never needed anything else, no matter what the other members of my pack think. But when a sweet omega brings his daughter to my self-defense studio, suddenly I’m thinking of turning over a new leaf.

Rick’s scent calls to me like nothing before and I need him in my bed. My wolf is determined to have him, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make him mine. The headstrong detective can take care of himself, but now it’s my job to keep him safe.

But Rick has been hurt before and when his doubts about my past threaten our future, I’ll need to find a way to make him see that he is more than enough for me. Can I convince my mate that we’re meant to be? Or will our new family crumble before I can claim him as my own?

Dean Hardwick is the Alpha to the Oceanside Pack, he makes a bet with Jaxson that he won't mate his fated mate, that is until Omega Rick walks into his life and turns everything around. The mating Ceremony had me in tears of joy. Brilliantly read and written

I thought I knew how the characterisations in this book would work and I was delighted to find my expectations were completely wrong in wonderful ways. I expected Dean to be the character I was going to be wanting to slap upside the head to get to accept his fated mate and settle down. He has been the total playboy - sleeping around, flirting with anyone in sight and even betting his beloved motorcycle that even if he found his mate he would walk away and keep his freedom. Then, when he finally did accept the idea of a mate I expected him to push strongly for the bond. That was so wrong. As soon as he scents Rick he is totally smitten but he approaches gently, not like a steamroller. Rick is the one I was actually annoyed with initially. He deals poorly with his daughter being bullied at school and is too sure of his own ability to protect her and do everything alone. As the story develops we begin to understand why this is and he becomes a sympathetic character as well. I really enjoyed the fact that this plot line of bullying (and some truly evil characters) is not one you encounter every day in mpreg/shifter romances. It provides the perfect opportunities to throw Dean and Rick together and to bring out all Dean's protective Alpha instincts. Emma, Rick's daughter, is a wonderful character! If you hesitate to read books where teenage girls have a large role, don't hesitate here. Emma is not the stereotypical moody teenager. She is bright and charming and her reactions to the bullying are realistic and not over the top. It is so satisfying when the baddies get their comeuppance. I have not read the previous books in this series and had no trouble following anything. It might help to be a bit familiar with mpreg/shifter/Alpha-Omega tropes but again, I don't think that is a requirement. Enough information about that is provided and the characters and the story will carry you right along. I think Jack Bellows did an excellent job performing this one. He caught the characters of Rick and Dean perfectly and succeeded with Emma's voice. I worried about that as she was a favorite character from the book.

Great story and performance

It was so refreshing to find this captivating story for book 8! The author made a nice move involving another pack and another fated couple with an entertaining backstory, to give the series a little turn. Of course, well writen characters, interesting topic about bullies while emphasizing the importance of friends and a circle of support to overcame It, helped to cement a wonderful reading. Besides all this, the professional narration of Mr Bellows, a very nice voice and acting and a smooth character creation were the main reasons behind my enjoyment of this book. Loved It!

Wonderful way to continue the story!

This story started out great with a playboy shifter, Dean, whose life is turned around when he scents his fated mate. Rick is attracted to Dean, but is apparently scarred by a past Alpha, lover, boyfriend? (it's never really explained) who left him and his daughter, Emma. This is mentioned a couple times, but what happened is not explained. He gets more involved with Dean, when Emma is bullied and she enrolls in Dean's karate class. The relationship between Dean and Rick goes back and forth because Rick keeps changing his mind, waffling between whether he loves Dean or whether he needs to stand on his own. At times, he seems all in, and then he won't even talk to Dean. It just got really annoying. Then at the final 1 hour mark, the story got weird. Rick is suddenly having a nightmare and strange feelings that something bad is going to happen. There are events of property damage and a violent attack on Emma and Rick. Rick cuts Dean completely off like somehow it's HIS fault, and it just made no sense. Then around 30 minutes to go, Rick has an epiphany that he's been a total a$$, wants Dean to claim him, and they all go on to a HEA in the last 15 minutes. There are also family issues with both MCs mothers that are not fully explored. I'm sorry, but it was all too disjointed and strange.

The narration was really good, with different and distinct voices for all the characters.

I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Story was uneven and turned weird near the end
