Joey Novak and Tony Peterson are a different kind of alpha/omega couple from the start. Joey’s bossiness and Tony’s laid-back ease complement each other, contrary to reader expectation. It’s nice to see that when he needs to, Tony can exert that alpha power to bring his omega in line, but manages never to dominate Joey (he’s not really into that kind of power display) who is not your typical omega, anyway. Joey is bigger than Tony…bigger and stronger. Add in his competitive spirit, the kind of job he does in his father’s organization, and his immediate and eager acceptance of Tony’s position as his alpha, and you have a powerful shift in the traditional story. The story demonstrates the importance of family to both MCs and that will come in really handy given the double twist at the very end of the story. As for the performance, I really liked the voicing of the Russian characters, and I liked that the narrator managed the shifts between the speech patterns of all the Russians in the story and those of the native English speakers with ease.
