Summary

Fall in love with a quirky mixed-shifter pack who live off the grid and always have each other’s backs.

By-the-book correctional officer Niles Ford has been resisting his fated mate Kyle Jones. After all, how could two alphas ever make sense? Even a sunshine boy like Kyle couldn’t fill Niles’ need for an heir...although the silly quokka shifter does know how to make him smile. The fact that his inner puma is yowling for Niles to claim their mate isn’t helping matters.

They’re both dancing around each other, when a random omega prisoner turns out to be the piece they’ve been missing - the last part of the puzzle that will make them whole. Before Kyle and Niles can claim Major Lawrence P. Woodlawn and begin their happy ever after, they find themselves on the run from a gaggle of goose shifters who have decided that Larry belongs to them.

Join the trio as they hit the road in a life-size Barbie-mobile to claim Niles’ new position as pack alpha for a small pack in Arizona, along with an intrepid pair of senior citizens who should never be taken seriously. The only problem is, before they can get to their homestead and meet the pack, the five of them must first escape the clutches of those danged geese who just won’t give up.

This m/m/m romantic comedy is the first in a new adventure series. This world contains mpreg, but won’t have a birth in every book due to the short timelines. Be prepared for side-splitting laughs, shifter-on-shifter violence, a group of people who know that family always comes first, and all the feels you’d expect from a Susi Hawke original.

Fast paced

I really liked the dynamic between the MC’s in this book. I laughed often,Niles, Kyle and Larry on the run from a Cray Cray gaggle of geese. Aided and abetted by hippy geriatrics. It’s billed as a romantic comedy and it wonderfully fits the bill. Add in Drew Becca, fast becoming one of my favourite narrators and you have a fast paced action packed audio of joy!

Shifters, throuple, Humour.

Susi writes some fantastic books. I read this book back in July 2020 and now listen to it again before starting book two in the series.

Kyle works as a healer at the hospital. Niles was a law enforcer, and they had an alpha/alpha relationship. Along came an omega, Larry, who was being chased by a gaggle of female geese shifters. Shifter violence, Mpreg, knotting, Alpha/Omega. Humour.

The trio is soon to be a throuple when Kyle and Nile claim Larry. They are joined by a couple of geriatrics with serious mouths, hilarious dialogue and a strange road trip.

It has to be read to believe it. Excellent narration by Drew Bacca; seriously, he made the book come alive.

Fast paced and enthralling

I really found this audio to be enjoyable and delightful. As quick as the story progressed, I did enjoy the action packed scenes. I also found the shifters to be unique this time around and fun. Bacca has made a delightful impact on this story line and his narration shines.

Roadtrips and Romance

Charming and adorable, with a surprising amount of action packed into this short novella, Susi Hawke’s newest shifter omegaverse series has all the classic Hawke elements that makes her books so addictive. Niles and Kyle are both alpha shifters who are fated mates. They know they are fated mates, but they keep tiptoeing around that fact until the fates dump their fated omega mate right in their laps. Soon the alphas, with their new omega, and two zany friends, find themselves on a road trip of a lifetime as they flee from a deranged shifter-geese flock and drive towards their new home out in the desert.

This novella is pure entertainment with a liberal dose of humor, fluff, excitement, and delicious sex mixed altogether. The book flies by fast, but it still brings out all the warm, gooey feels that makes a Susi Hawke book so wonderful.

Drew Bacca narrates the audiobook and does a fantastic job. He has such an enjoyable and smooth tone that is perfect for narrations. He also does all the character’s voices perfectly and consistently. I never had trouble knowing which character was speaking, and with all the different characters in this book that was quite a feat! The audiobook production was well done and the high quality I expect from my audiobooks.

Great summer laughs

I'm guessing there are some great outtakes from Drew Bacca's performance of this book. There are some good laughs here and his performance perfectly captures the craziness and makes it real. It is a short set up for the series, so the action moves along at a rollicking pace with a pair of great senior citizens, quokka and geese shifters who seem perfectly in character and a nice, budding romance. A listen for a hot, summer afternoon with a cool glass of lemonade.

Great start to the series

This was a great start to the series. I loved Niles, Kyle and Larry. I laughed nearly all the way through this book. The side characters were fantastic and had me in stitches. I cant wait to see where this series goes.

Great narration and a really good story.

I haven't listened to a lot of books performed by Drew Bacca but I have loved all of them that I have. He does amazing voices and accents for the many different characters in this story.

Susi Hawke has written a great start to this new series that has lots of comedic elements. Drew Bacca's timing in some of these really funny scenes is perfect. This is a short but captivating listen and I'm really looking forward to more in this series.

A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.
