Settle for Nothing

Desert Homesteaders, Book 2

De: Susi Hawke

Narrado por: Drew Bacca

What do I want in a mate? Absolutely nothing.

Silas Jones has no interest in getting a mate, fated or otherwise. At 22, he’s alone in the world...or would be without the quirky pack of desert homesteaders who’ve become his family. Who needs more than that? Not Silas. Everyone else can partner up and risk loving the wrong person; he’s not judging. To each their own, but it’s not what he wants for himself. Ever. Nope, Silas is quite happy being a lone coyote. Maybe one day, it’ll stop feeling lonely in the wee hours. Or he could get a dog.

Daniel Atkins never planned to add stalking his fated mate to his to-do list. But what’s a guy to do when his fated mate takes one sniff in his direction and turns the other way? He’s dying to get all the info on Silas, see what makes him tick and figure out why his mate is so skittish. But first, he needs to get his inner beaver to calm down and stop demanding they keep eyes on their omega.

If Silas is in danger, Daniel needs to be on guard. Hmm... Is it really stalking if he’s keeping a protective watch?

Return to the hills above Cottonwood, Arizona, where every shifter has a bit of special magic and the pack of homesteaders, preppers, and loners who are a lot nosier about each other’s lives than they’d care to admit. Because, no matter their differences, pack means family.

This 31k novella is the second in this short-listen series. This world contains mpreg, but won’t have a birth in every book due to the short timelines. Be prepared for side-splitting laughs, a few tears, shifter-on-shifter violence, and a group of people who know that family always comes first. Also, all the feels you’d expect from a Susi Hawke original.

Silas and Daniel

Silas is more than a little damaged by his past and that past has convinced him that he doesn't want a mate. No way, no how. Daniel is not sure how to woo his recalcitrant mate so he turns to friends that know his mate best. I loved Daniel's persistence. There are a lot of laughs as these two have all our friends from book one, Settling the Alphas, interfering/helping them defeat evil, find love, and unearth undreamed of treasures.
Highly recommended author and series

Sweet and lovely

This book brings the laughter and the emotion. Drew does a phenomenal job bringing these characters to life!

Amazing listen!

I love listening to another Susi Hawke's story! I love Daniel and Silas! This story is short but I absolutely love it. Such a fun and interesting listen. I love Drew Bacca narration. It just makes me love the story even more.

Loved Daniel and Silas!

Silas is skittish to getting a mate. His father had killed his mom when her mate showed up. Daniel is new to town. He knows Silas is his mate. I loved how Daniel was patient with Silas! Lots of humor woven throughout the story! Drew Bacca does a great job with the narration.

Settle for nothing

So much sweetness. I laughed a lot while listening to the book and it melted my heart. I want more of these characters and to get more of this world. I loved the main characters a lot.
