Great start to a new series!

I’d been contemplating this on Kindle and was glad to see it come to Audible! Having not read either the Team Alpha or Alphabits series, I didn’t really have too hard of a time figuring out who was who. The people that popped up in the story were explained well-enough that I wasn’t lost (and now want to go back and read previous stories).

It revolves around River (a STAHP operative) and Vasily (River’s brother-in-law’s brother and member of the Novak mob family) being fated mates. Although it starts out with River hightailing it away from his mate, they quickly team up to take down another crime family that has kidnapped Vasily’s young son. I was surprised at how much storyline was encompassed in this whole audiobook considering the shorter length. It could have quite easily been over after the search for Vasily’s son, but the story continued through so much of their relationship that the conflict ended up seeming like a small blip in the grand scheme of things.

And we can’t forget Kirt Graves’ wonderful narration! The accents were on point with all the different characters represented (Vasily is Russian, for example) and the pacing was perfect. I hope the rest of the series will be voiced by him as well!
