Good bundle with great narration

#4 Liam and Frankie (4.5 Stars)

This was a true mate insta-connection. They're all still after Mikael's crazy sister and have finally, hopefully found a way to capture her and even restrain her. But there are a few twists and turns.

I liked how Liam and Frankie had opposite roles for the most part then what was expected for an Alpha and Omega. The two work really well together and I’m glad they found each other.

#5 Drew and Hector (4 Stars)

This one was mainly about the couple until it wasn’t. For a long while there wasn’t much talk about Mikael’s crazy sister, but the occasional chat on planning an attack. So, for most of the story we hear about Drew and Hector and then all of a sudden there ready to attack. I was a little disappointed in how it all played out and how quick it was.

#6 Conclusion 10 years later (4 Stars)

I wasn’t into this one as much as the other stories. I didn’t like that they waited 10 years to celebrate. I understand why, but I still think it was too long of a wait. It was nice to see a conclusion to all the couples and their children.

John Solo did an amazing job. He was clear to understand and I loved how he change voices for each character.

Liam may be my new favorite!

I’ve read and listened to these books since Susi’s Omega Series, and this may be my favorite. Liam and Frankie turn the typical dynamic on its head, and is my absolute favorite couple out of the whole bundle! I do recommend starting from the beginning so you get the whole scope of the world Susi created. It’s a beautiful one to get lost in.

Northern Pines Den Alphas Books 4-6

These are fantastic stories that follow two shifter packs, bears and wolves, as they try to continue their line. The stories will bring chuckles at the antics some of the omegas get up to without effort on their part. The long suffering sighs and eye rolling of the alphas that mate them. Then the danger that a rogue female bear brings to all the shifters because she just wants to get back at her brother who is the alpha of the bears.
The narrator brings each and every character to life and inbues his voice with the mannerisms and accents each deserves!!
Fantastic stories and a thrill to listen .

Great Finish for Northern Pines Den

This is the set of books 4, 5 and 6 of the Northern Pines Den, the bear den near the Northern Pines Lodge of a previous series. In Alpha's Wolfe (Book 4), Alpha Bear Liam, runs a B&B, while Omega Wolf Frankie is former military intelligence who comes in to help Mikael track down his sister. In Alpha's Redemption (Book 5), Alpha Jaguar Hector comes to town to track town his former arranged betrothed, Diego. Omega Bear Drew wants to travel the world, but first they have to finish dealing with Mikael's sister. In Alpha's Solstice (Book 6), it's 10 years after the Rogue War and we get to revisit every couple/trio from both the Northern Pines Lodge Series and the Northern Pines Den Series as they all come together to celebrate the winter solstice.
This series is one of my favorites of the authors. The intense love that the individuals in the relationships and the sense of community the pack/den have is amazing to read. I absolutely love when each of the men find their mate/mates. This set ties up loose ends and story lines in book 1 of Northern Lodge Pack, and also sets up the Blood Legacy Series which focuses on some of the children of the couples/triads in these stories. The intricacies of these stories and the way that they weave through each other to tell a rich and fun story/world is amazing. John Solo did an amazing job giving life and personality to each of these characters, and helps bring the world into a clearer focus. Great series!!

Good continuation to the series!

Alpha's Wolf: (Liam & Frankie)

It was a nice change that Liam, the Alpha bear, was the one who cooked and wanted to be more on the background while his mate, Frankie, the wolf shifter, was the nerdy tech, more battle-ready of the two since he'd been in the military with Jules. They really fit well with each other, though, and as has been the case with the other couples (or throuples) in the series, they're hot together.

I'm really enjoying the continuing arc with Yvonne, especially now that we finally meet her, and while I had been fooled by Tommy, the rogue shifter, I had no clue of who he really was. Damn!

This was my favorite of the three stories included in this bundle.

Alpha's Redemption: (Hector & Drew)

Kinkier than the previous books, but very, very hot! A bit of Daddy kink, spanking and loads of chemistry between Hector and Drew, who, despite their age difference were pretty well matched. I loved that Drew felt comfortable enough to be sassy with Hector and how his confidence grew from when we met him in the previous book.

Things got set up for the final showdown against Yvonne and Tommy, which I was looking forward to. Unfortunately, it was kind of blink and you miss it. I was expecting something a bit more well, just more. It was pretty anticlimactic after so many books leading to it. At least the baddies lost, which is something, I guess. *shrugs*

While I liked Hector & Drew, I was disappointed by how quickly things got resolved with the rogue pack and Yvonne.

Alpha's Solstice - Everyone

This was a lovely way to wrap up these two series (Northern Lodge Pack and Northern Pines Den) and leave the door open for a new one set in the future. It was fun and steamy and gave us a glimpse into the future of all the couples we've met throughout both series. I'm really intrigued over what else Ms. Hawke might have in store for us in this 'verse.

Re.: The Narration: John Solo did a fantastic job, not only in this bundle but throughout the series bringing all these couples and characters (and there's a lot of those) come to life. He brought the necessary emotion to every scene and damn, if he didn't manage to make all those hot knotting scenes even hotter! *fans self*

I hadn't read these books before starting with the first Northern Pines Den bundle and while I might have been a bit lot when the guys from the Northern Lodge Pack appeared, I have no trouble recommending these audiobooks. They're entertaining, hot and action-packed and definitely ones I'll come back and revisit at some point.

A good bundle to wind down this story

Alpha's Wolf

This is a "true" fated mates story. Liam is an Alpha who runs a B&B in town. Frankie is an ex-military Omega who is a loner and doesn't trust anyone. When a storm hits, and communications are down, Frankie must leave his safe place and travel to see Mikael to relay information about his sister's whereabouts. While traveling, the storm makes the roads more dangerous than Frankie believed, and he almost literally ran his car into Liam who was returning from the den lands. As soon as they are exposed to each other, Frankie trusts him implicitly. It works out perfectly for them, because Liam is the nurturing, cooking, and willing to raise the pups kind of Alpha, while Frankie is the protective, strong and ex-military Omega.

Alpha's Redemption

When the Alpha who Diego was promised to shows up at the B&B, Stefan and the others expect trouble. That is, until he explains that he was drawn there for reasons unknown to him; and that's when he sees Drew. They are perfect for each other, especially since Drew will be expected to move to Hector's Homeland and travel the world with him. He's always wanted to travel. The only thing they have to do first is end the Rogue War.

That leads me back to one piece of the puzzle I left out. There is a new facet to the series introduced in these first two books. Frankie and Hector's lineage traces back to the first lines, and grants them special powers that are going to be key in winning the war and in their own offspring.

Alpha's Solstice

This is a big reunion of sorts, a decade after the war ended. It's a gigantic party where every pair from both the wolves and the bears (and the kitties) are revisited. And, oh boy! There are a lot of surprises in store for our Alphas, betas, and omegas.

I thought the narrator did a good job. He has been constant throughout the series.

I received a free copy of this audiobook.

Absolutely incredible!

We have the last of the series in this bundle and it is amazing, nail biting, and leaves you wanting more. The narrator does an incredible job of making each character unique and the stories are full and so true to life that you can almost believe that shifters are in the world.
