About this listen

Sam Baker couldn’t be more normal. He’s a teacher at the local middle school and the most exciting part of his day is dealing with a classroom full of hormonal preteens. His life takes a turn for the weird one stormy night when he finds a small boy on his doorstep. A boy who growls, flashes unnaturally blue eyes, demands for Sam to call the alpha - whatever that is - and gives Sam the one name he wishes he could forget: Vaughn Jerrick.

Vaughn Jerrick is the alpha to a pack of wolf shifters and a doctor to the supernatural world. After sharing a steamy one night stand with Sam years ago, Vaughn couldn’t consider the possibility of a future with the man, no matter how much he wanted him. Bringing a human into his world is against the rules, but one phone call changes everything, and Vaughn finds himself face-to-face with the man who could give him everything he’s ever wanted.

Rescuing one small child turns into saving six from a dark and uncertain fate, and although Sam doesn’t understand the world he’s been forced into, he would never turn his back on children in need, even if it means confronting his past with Vaughn.

As Vaughn and Sam join forces to protect the children put into their care, the future they’ve both dreamed of is within their reach, but first they need to survive the sinister force looking to rip away everything they’ve come to hold dear.

New to me, author Macy Blake and what can I say apart from I loved it.

Seriously good world-building, great start to a new series, the characters have depth and feeling, and we have children and lots of them, a human and a shifter alpha, a welcoming pack, and so much happening.

I Don't want to spoil things for you, but there is hot sex. What more could we ask for from an author, oh yes, the next book, please, thankfully, I started the series when all the books were on Audible, so I started the second book immediately.

The narration was on point, but Michael Dean never disappoints me. I did, however, speed up to 1.35 on Audible, which is my norm.

I received this audiobook for free from GRR at my request. My review is my opinion and an honest review - neither the author nor GRR influenced my opinion.

Wow, what a start to a series

This is where it all started. Michael’s strong voice smoothly works for both Vaughn and Sam as well as lending itself to the lighter children vocals. Really enjoyed this audio.

I didn't know Macy Blake as an author before. But she has a wonderful writing style with a fascinating world building. The story is emotionally told and had me hooked from the beginning.
Macy Blake has created a great world where shifters live alongside humans in the real world. When Sam finds a frightened boy on his doorstep one night, he just has to help. But this boy with unnatural eyes is asking for Vaughn, of all people, who just left Sam years ago after a hot one-night stand.
As a listener, I was immersed in a great described world full of people and shifters. I liked Sam and Vauhgn from the start, they are both warm and very likeable and it's easy to empathize with them. It turns out that it's not just one kid in trouble, but several. The kids were cute as well as the overall story. I especially took Ollie and Henry to my heart.

Michael Dean's narration was on point - as always. He brought the story to life with many different voices - including those of the children. The emotions resonated with me as a listener and he was a pleasure to listen to. An interesting and entertaining audiobook that I am happy to recommend to others.

These books have been out for a few months on audio, but when I was offered the opportunity to listen to and review all six, I seized it.

This story starts out pretty tense. Sam, an everyday average guy, finds a strange child at his doorstep. The boy demands Sam call Vaughn – the man he had a one-night stand with years ago. The man who ticks all his boxes. The man who walked away from him. Now Vaughn is back and Sam learns things are way more complicated than they seem. Vaughn is the alpha of a wolf shifter pack. Okay, mind blown. Vaughn and Sam race to rescue a group of children shifters as well as a young mage. Okay, mind blown again.

Sam’s invested though – and who wouldn’t be? Fox shifters and bear shifters and wolf shifters and, of course, dear Henry. But there are dark forces and then men and children are in grave danger until they can figure out how to defeat the bad people.

I loved the story and was especially drawn to Henry – which was a good thing. I’m intrigued and can’t wait to go on to the next book.

Quick shout out to Michael Dean who always does an amazing job – especially with the kids. On to the next book!

Great series!

I enjoyed this sweet and intriguing audiobook. It was the fun, suspenseful, story of fated mates Sam, a human, Vaughn, a wolf-pack Alpha shifter, and six kidnapped children, including shifters and a mage/seer. I enjoyed seeing the relationships form, but I am eager to dive into the next book, as this one gave more questions than answers. So many questions...about backgrounds, the children, the prophecy, and more. There is a soft cliffhanger ending, presumably leading into the next book.

The narration by Michael Dean is fantastic. He provided so many terrific voices, tones, and accents for all the characters.

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

Sweet and intriguing teaser

Sweet Nothings is the prequel to the Chosen One series. I’ve seen it marketed as book 0 in the series, so I figured it was the perfect place to start my Chosen One journey. And oh my, I LOVED it. This book has some minor flaws, but honestly I don’t even care. I love found family and protective parents trope. Mix that in with an interesting plot full of magic and paranormal entities and some intriguing world building, and I was completely hooked on this book and ready to devour this entire series.

The audiobook was narrated by Michael Dean who does a fantastic job. I’ve been a big Michael Dean fan for a while, and it’s because he knows how to voice interesting characters and bring a story to life. The production of the audiobook was also well done and it just made for a fabulous listening experience.

Cute and Romantic

I loved the set up that Sam is a middle school teacher who had one steamy night with Vaughn that both have never forgotten but have tried to put out of their minds. When a strange, injured young boy turns up on Sam's doorstep asking for Vaughn and talking about strange things like alphas, any reader of shifter romances knows just what Sam is about to learn and how that is going to rock his world. Fortunately, he's a strong man and he and Vaughn team up to rescue some children and the story is on its way. I cannot wait to see how this series develops and get answers to the questions raised in this initial entry. Michael Dean has done a wonderful job with the characters here. I was totally immersed in the story as his voice presented it, the characters were clearly delineated and all the suspense and emotion was right there to hear.

Great series introduction

I don’t even know what to say. This book hit me so hard in the feels that my eyes leaked a lot. 😊 It has magic, shifters, a human & werewolf fated mates couple, hellhounds and so much more.

Sam and Vaughn had a moment several years before this story starts and it didn’t end well. When Sam needs to reach out to Vaughn so that he can help a kid who knocked on his door, everything changes.

I can’t say enough good things about this book. Michael Dean’s performance is really wonderful. It isn’t that often that listening to an audiobook will bring out the deep feels for me but this one surely did and I loved everything about it. I can’t wait to start listening to the next one in the series.

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

Amazing!
