Summary

An awkward, traumatized omega and a patient alpha determined to court him properly...fate has a way of righting old wrongs.

Stolen from his mother’s arms and reported stillborn at birth, Tom spent nearly 21 years in structured captivity with other stolen omegas. His brothers. A dozen omegas, each with a secret superpower, who now must learn a whole new skill - how to thrive in a modern world.

Not every brother emerged from their past unscathed, and Tom had the worst of it. His key to survival was a healthy respect for rules. Now that he’s free, he’s still a little bit obsessive and a whole lot compulsive. He’s got anxiety, fear of change...and a list of plans for his future.

None of which involved finding a fated mate.

But if they had? His plans definitely wouldn’t have been to meet his dream alpha while smelling of afterbirth and the blood of an enemy killed in defense of his pregnant brother - the same brother whose child he then had to deliver...post-shift and naked.

If he’d been planning, if he’d made a list and checked it twice, Tom never could’ve designed an alpha more perfectly devoted than the delicious one fate put in front of him during one of the craziest days of his life...an alpha so patient, he insists on courting the skittish omega.

The West Coast Wolves is an mpreg series about five alphas. A small pack of bikers who spent years riding the highways and helping those in need until fate gave them each a pack to lead. This full-length novel is Nick’s story. Prepare yourself for a romantic courtship, a perfect first kiss, and more feels and giggles than you can handle. But then again, this is a Susi Hawke book so what else can you expect?

Possible triggers for child abduction, trafficking both past and present, and haunting memories of past abuse that included both humiliation and the non-penetrative molestation of a teenager by a person in authority.

Tom was one of the omegas rescued from the farm where he’d been held – raised to eventually be auctioned off. He’s been taught omegas were to serve alphas. He’d been beaten down – emotionally if not physically. Suddenly he’s free, and all the rules are gone. He’s free to pick his own name. Chart his own path. Follow the learning that will supplement his innate understanding of healing. He delivered a baby in the last book and his story in this book begins with him – naked after just having executed such a miracle. He’s a mess but then he scents his fated mate.

Not the most auspicious beginning.

Nick, said alpha, is undaunted. He’s been running with his group of wayward alphas in a motorcycle club up and down the West Coast of California. One by one, those alphas – many second born sons – are finding their calling. Nick’s purpose has been to help a community, but he’s not drawn to the kind of leadership necessary to rule a pack. Then an opportunity lands in his lap and he suddenly has a purpose in life. Well, a purpose beyond wooing his fated mate. Nick recognizes Tom’s need for order. He reacts with kindness and understanding for the obsessive-compulsive tendencies. He also perceives Tom’s lack of trust in alphas – especially when it comes to sexuality. Nick never pushes, and eventually Tom reveals what happened to him as a teenager.

Heartbreaking.

But a bond forms. Then they are called upon to help, and boy do they get involved. Their entire lives change in the blink of an eye – for the better. Suddenly they have the family they both crave.

These are very dark books touching tough topics, but they are also books about second chances, redemption, and finding a way to be happy despite your upbringing. And Nick J. Russo narrates these stories brilliantly and I’m so glad he’s part of the project. Two more stories to go. I can’t wait.

Another dark story with an HEA

The story: this story was super cute. Charlie’s birthing scene is still the craziest birthing scene I’ve read and it was cool to see it from others POV. Tom and Nick’s relationship was great and they showed good chemistry. It was great to see Tom find himself and grow throughout the story. Also seeing the patience and care Nick has towards him, son sweet. I look forward to continuing with the next story.

The Narration: Nick did another great job continuing on with this series. I enjoy stories where the character voices are portrayed the same as it was in previous books.

Tom and Nick!!

This is another great story from the West Coast Wolves series, After the rescue of the omegas in the prior book, the tale ended with a death, and a childbirth. This story starts there and follows the story of omega Tom, who has a healing gift, and Nick, one of the alpha former bikers who were given new packs in book 1. Tom has a tragic history, kidnapped as a baby and then traumatized by some of his captors' actions. As a result, he is shy, focused on planning and always following the rules, and experiences anxiety when things get overwhelming. Nick was so patient and understanding. He recognized that even though they were fated mates, Tom needed time to decide what he wanted. I loved Nick's approach, using the old tradition of courting. It gave him and Tom a chance to get to know one another better, and gave Tom the time to come to trust Nick. I absolutely loved the growth Tom experienced and how he triumphed over his past. The continuing story of the omega trafficking was also moved along, and more information is revealed about some of the other omega 'brothers.' There is some violence (a.k.a. justice) delivered wolf-style, but I liked that it was brief and not gory or graphic. I love the humor and banter between both sets of 'brothers', and between the mates. Even the violent scene was touched with humor. This is a great listen and I look forward to more in the series.

The narration by Nick Russo is fantastic. The voices for strong alpha Nick and shy Tom suited them perfectly, and the tone, pacing, and emotional delivery were perfect.

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

Hawk’s uncanny ability to give the reader a delightful storyline is shown in this one! Tom and Nick are both a delight and their chemistry is enjoyable. Russo once again delights listeners to his narration keeping the listener engaged and present in the storyline

Another stellar performance
