Summary

The Blackwood Pack saga begins...

Follow the journey of the Blackwood Pack, seven brothers who are wolf shifters in search of their fated mates - stories about love at first sight with twists and turns, angst and humor, romance and adventure. Each audiobook has two men who meet, fall in love, mate and achieve an HEA but the stories also chronicle the continuing saga of the Blackwood Pack.

Steel, one of the last Dire Wolves on earth, has searched more than 100 years for the special mate promised by the Fates. Discouraged after meeting his latest prospect, he sees a naked hitchhiker on his way home who's everything he'd envisioned the man of his dreams would be. His wolf and body tell him he's found his fated mate but why can't he pick up his scent?

Robbed of his car, clothes and money, Jackson, Alpha of the Blackwood Pack, has no choice but to thumb a lift, frantic to get home to his six brothers. He's been protecting them from a rival pack who massacred most of his family and wants to finish off the rest. When Steel rolls down his window, Jackson knows he also has found his fated mate but it would be too dangerous to claim him with his pack under attack.

After the intervention of an Oracle and a Witch, Jackson discovers why the Fates made him unique - just for Steel. Navigating the mine field this revelation brings, Jackson and Steel must figure out how to make their relationship work while dealing with forces determined to kill the Blackwood pack - and them.

Out of body experience

I cannot fully explain how amazing this story was on paper, but what the narrator was outstanding he took this story and made it more, the character voices and the way in which he told the story, every second of it was a thrilling adventure.

Fantastic listen

I absolutely love this series and now it's coming to audio I'm so excited. Jackson and Steel make such a loving couple, Steel will do anything to protect his mate and new family. Jackson is the best big brother but this brothers and the pack before himself. The narrator brought this story to life and add to the emotion behind the story. I really cant wait till the next book to come to audio

Very Good!

Wasn’t sure what to expect when I read the synopsis.
It has the supernatural, shifter and HEA elements that I definitely look forward to, and I have not been disappointed!

Thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook, a bit different to the usual mpreg shifter after being hooked with Ann-Katryn Byrd - the difference from the usual omega pregnancy to this alpha/hybrid, but not distracted from the story whatsoever!
How Jackson is supposed to give birth is going to be a bit tricky as that hasn’t been delved into, only that he’s having a caesarean whereas with Mercy Hills Pack series, Ann-Katryn Byrd, the Omega’s have an Omega line (as the shifters are male) which opens like a pouch when they go into labour and in books by Piper Scott/Virgina Kelly, like Forbidden Desires series, the Omega suddenly has an opening appear just for childbirth - so will be interesting to see how the author gets around that topic conundrum 😊

The audiobook is great, Nick J Russo is great (as always), if there is a downside, then to me, it just seems that the main characters, all they seem to be doing is having sex all the time, which, yes as any new couple does, but it just seems a bit excessive and detracts away sometimes from the story itself.
So this is going to be a series of books I believe (?? 7), so yes hot sexy times are great, but sometimes it just seems a bit excessive to be at it that much! LOL

All in all, fantastic book and still worth the 5🌟’s 😊

Not bad

This is the first story in a series by a new to me author.
I quite enjoyed it but found it a little mundane at times.
I will continue with the series to see if I get more invested in the characters.
The narration wasn't awful but not the best,sounding rather bored at times.

Absolute perfect beginning of a new series

Jackson has spent years keeping his brothers safe after what happened to their pack. When he realizes that the man that had picked him up from the side of the road was his mate, he kept quiet because he didn't feel like it was a good idea to bring him into all the trouble that his family was facing.

Steel is so confused when his body and wolf keep reacting to the hitch hiker but he didn't have a scent. Steel knew that his mate would be a wolf so why is he reacting to this human?

Well, secrets are revealed as those that had helped Jackson keep his brothers safe as well as the Oracle gives them a message. Now, these two must navigate a whole new world as well as figuring out how to keep their pack safe.

So much passion!

🌟🌟🌟🌟 4.5 stars
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Heat Level: 4
🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 Narration: 5

Wow! A whirlwind of a story with so much twisting detail I was hooked. I loved all the characters and really enjoyed the lust to love at first sight mating. There is so much passion and heat in this story, and Jackson and Steel are HOT!

The world was set up so well and I enjoyed the little hints and teasers into each character's mind (even the bad guys). There is so much more that can happen with this story and I'm totally hooked to see what the Fates have in store for each of these brothers. I could already feel hints to many further pairings and I look forward to Colton's story and the birth of Jackson's pup! Bring on book 2!

As ever Nick has done a fantastic job, exceptional work with so many different characters he made each one unique. I can't wait for more!!

Great Start

After having read the 9 books in the series so far, was eager to listen to this and can safely say, was not disappointed.
Nick j Russo does an awesome job of bringing Jackson, his brothers and all the other characters to life. I cant wait to hear Nick's interpretation of Keiran in a future book.
Roll on the continuing story that the fates have for the Blackwood Pack.
