Publisher's summary

Found in Beaumont, Lost in Dallas, Secret in Houston, Home in Austin

Four Books.... One Complete Volume!

Two broken omegas and one hard-edged alpha...three men who are stronger than they think...especially when they trust each other enough to be vulnerable.

Lukas and Gideon are fully aware the streets are not kind to two omegas in love, but they have faith this won't be their life forever. One day, they'll find an alpha to love them both. Beaumont can't escape his memories of war, but can he find a new mission in guarding these two angels from the dangerous of the world? And together, can they find love and healing?

Tropes for Found in Beaumont: MMM triad, menage, hurt comfort

Kyle isn't a victim...he's a survivor who needs to learn his worth.

Gym owner Dallas has had a crush on his tall, thick omega employee since day one, but until Kyle's abusive relationship crashes to pieces, he doesn't dare make a move. Kyle's happiness and health - emotional, mental, and physical - is more important to him than a sexy roll in the hay, however, and he builds a fitness challenge for Kyle, addressing all three issues in one. But when desire takes them unawares and Kyle becomes pregnant, the physical changes threaten to tear Kyle's fragile confidence apart. Can Dallas convince him he's loveable, regardless of his waist size?

Tropes for Lost in Dallas: employee/boss relationship, big, beautiful omega, overcoming domestic abuse

Secrets always come out in the end.

Snarky omega Houston never expected to have a passionate fling with his brother's best friend, but who can resist a man in uniform? He truly didn't expect to end up pregnant with his baby. Before he has a chance to tell him, Cody's helicopter is shot down and he's held captive by insurgents for a year. And when he gets back...he has no memory of dating his best friend's sexy little brother. How can Houston tell anyone that he's the father of his child when no one, not even Cody, knew they were involved? But when the child falls desperately ill, only Cody can save him, and buried secrets must be brought to light.

Tropes for Secret in Houston: secret baby, military romance, best friend's brother

Take one pregnant omega who’s all alone in the world....

Alone and pregnant, Owen can barely feed himself, let alone pay for basic prenatal care. But if there's one thing he learned growing up in foster care, it's that you can't count on anyone else. So how can he trust Austin when the alpha offers him a deal he can't refuse: get married, and I'll take care of you until the baby is born. No strings attached. There's nothing in it for Austin! With no other choice, Owen accepts, but he's determined to keep his guard up. It's hard, though, when his fake husband turns out to be an awesome dad and doesn't seem in any hurry to let him go. But can he risk falling in love with him, or is it all a mirage?

Tropes for Home in Austin: strangers to friends to lovers, fake relationship, slow burn

This series contains darker themes than you might be used to from Susi Hawke, but HEAs and all the laughs, naughty-knotty times, and shmoopy feels that you'd expect are definitely included! No new material has been added. This bundle contains all four full-length books in one handy volume.

Wonderful Audiobook

I loved this as a story but hearing it come to life brought it to a new level. This is one of my favorite narrators.

So sweet!

John Solo for the win! this series is so sweet and John manages to bring the gruffness of an Alpha as well as the sometimes timid sometimes naughty edge to the omega while keeping the story at the forefront. I adore these boys! I have read these books, listened to the audio books individually and then binged on the box set. Beau might be my favorite but that's a different story all together. So well written!

Absolutely amazing

This was absolutely amazing, the books was great. Real and lovable characters. Continuity from book to book. Amazing.
Totally magnificent narration, the different characters keep their voices from book to book. This was a very enjoyable experience, highly recommendable.

The Logan Brothers are everything you want in MM!

The Logan brothers are everything you want in good ole Texas boys. Three alphas and one omega, these brothers find their romantic partners in unconventional ways and fall hard. This series is great if you love MM (or MMM) mpreg romance. Great narration as well!

Caring Set of Brothers

Review - I listened to the box set as an audio book. I enjoyed this series of stories very much. It is a great set of stories that span many different types of situations and building relationships between the different brothers.
1 - Found in Beaumont - Beau, Lukas and Gideon - This story is so sweet. I love the relationship that Lukas and Gideon already have and how Beau becomes a part of that. I love how he always respected what was between the two men. There are some really sweet feels in this first story in the series.
2 - Lost in Dallas - Dallas, Kyle - I like that these two have been working together for a while when this story starts. Kyle is in a toxic relationship but he gets himself out. I love the way that his relationship with Dallas develops. Another great story.
3 - Secret in Houston - Houston and Cody - I love how this story starts out with some drama that you don't fully understand. There were so many tense moments in this story and so many feels. I feel that this story has bit of different vibe from the first two stories but turns out really well.
4 Home in Austin - Owen and Austin - I love the sweet way this story moves through with Austin being in the right place at the right time to provide what Owen needs. This story is a great wrap to the series with a lots of good feels.

Four for the price of one

Who doesn’t love getting a good bundle. The Lone Hearts all together. John Solo narrated them well. Not a typical light and fluffy Susi series, but a good series.

Great voice

I liked these stories and the narrator was good but I felt like he didn’t make each character’s voice distinctive different like other narrator manages. He tries but it needs some work in my opinion. But I did enjoy listening.
The storyline in each story is good and the characters is developed in different personalities that’s easy to feel connected to.
So my conclusion is
5 stars overall

A great not-so-fluffy box set from Susi Hawke

This box set contains the stories of four brothers and their mates. However, these aren't necessarily the all smiles and rainbows that some people might expect from Susi Hawke. But they are each unique and tell their own story, although they are all intertwined a bit.

Found in Beaumont:  This is the story of two young omegas who have been together since they were little. They have survived a hard life, and when Beau comes across them, he has to make sure they are safe. When they finally come together, Gideon is overjoyed, while Lukas has his reservations. They have been looking for an alpha to accept both of them, and taking care of their war veteran has become their mission.

Lost in Dallas:  This story deals with body image issues and abuse. Kyle is insecure about his body, but he is happy with his job working at Dallas' gym. His alpha makes fun of him and his talents, and goes so far as to bring a "guest" into their home to do Kyle's work for him. When things go too far, Dallas must convince Kyle of his worth; not only as an attractive omega, but also as the talented chef he is.

Secret in Houston:  This story hit me in the feels more than the others. Houston is a snarky omega who has refused to reveal the identity of his baby's sire. When a miracle happens, and Cody is returned, he is prepared to do the right thing. That is until Houston realizes that Cody only remembers him as the little brother, and a baby's cry sends Cody to his knees. When the truth finally comes out in the worst possible way, the two men talk and get to know each other again. When memories start to surface, a happy ending is in their future.

Home in Austin:  Owen lost his best friend and the father of his baby to the war. They weren't in love, let alone married, so when his friend's parents kick him out, he's left penniless and alone. He knows it's a long shot, but he heads to the center for families of the fallen that Beau created as his last hope. When he gets there, he meets Austin, but finds that the center cannot help. However, Austin, a stranger and an alpha, offers him a chance for survival. Through everything, Austin proves that he is honorable and dependable, right down to a convenient marriage and interesting prenup. When life throws a bomb their way, they must face life together to get their happily ever after.

I thought John Solo did a good job with these stories. I think the narration would have been more appreciated had I listened to these books independently. The characters in each individual story were well differentiated, but hearing them all back to back, some voices sounded a little too similar. Overall, though, I think he did a good job; I'll just take a break between stories the next time around.

Happy listening!

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

Very enjoyable listen

Really enjoyed listening to this series, good story lines that kept me invested in the couples and kept me interested throughout the whole series. I love that this was a bundle, being able to just listen to the while series without having to hunt down each book.

The narration was really well done.

A Great Series of Stories

This audiobook contains all 4 books of the Lone Star Brothers Series. This is a great way to enjoy each of the brother’s stories. Each brother is named for the town that they were born in. Which I though was a cute idea for this series.

The first story is Found in Beaumont a fantastic story the writing was great. I loved this story and read/listened to it in one sitting. The plot was entertaining and it was steady throughout the story. I found the story and characters intriguing. The characters were developed and thought out. Beau is an Alpha and Lukas & Gideon are Omegas and they are the MC’s of this story. I loved Gideon’s nick name for Lukas it was cute. There was humor, an attack, a gym, swimming, babies, a hospital, brothers and so much more in this story.

The second story is Lost in Dallas. A sensational story the writing was great. The plot was entertaining and it was steady throughout the story. I found the story and characters wonderful. The characters were developed and thought out. Kyle is an Omega and Dallas is an Alpha and they are the MC’s of this story. There was humor, police, knives, a Gym, friends and family, abuse, food and so much more. Even though this story has domestic abuse in it the way the author wrote didn’t weigh the book down with all the negativity about such a subject. Yet focused on the positive like surviving and the hope that can come after. I did enjoy this story and thought that the author did a great job.

The third story is Secret in Houston. Another great and well written story. This one is about Houston and Cody. This one was harder for me to enjoy not because it was written bad or the serious issues that are written about. But because of a couple of actions that Houston does, and these are personal issues for me. And they may not bother others. It was still a good story and worth reading/listening.

The fourth story Home in Austin. Again, a fantastic story that with great writing. The plot was entertaining and it was steady throughout the story. I found the story and characters captivating. The characters were developed and thought out. Austin is an Alpha and Owen is an Omega and they are the MC’s of this story. There was humor, germs, babies, friends and family, loss, art, Christmas and more in this book.

The narration was done well. He had different voices for each character. He wasn’t monotone, and the flow of his narration was good. He made the book enjoyable to listen too.

Here is a quote from the book, “Lukas looked at me knowingly. “Why do I have a feeling that this has been brewing in your head for a lot longer than the past hour or so since we took those tests?” I gave him my most innocent look. “I don’t know. Because you have a suspicious mind?“ “Yeah, babe. We’ll go with that.”. There is more but you will need to read/listen to the book which I can recommend as a good read/listen. I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book for an honest review.
