Northern Pines Den Alphas Books 4-6

Northern Pines Den Bundle, Book 2

By: Susi Hawke

Narrated by: John Solo

The Northern Pines Den series is an mpreg shifter series about found families, finding joy after pain, and the yummy scents of fated mates!

The Northern Pines Den of bears found a solid ally in the newly formed Northern Lodge wolf pack - and together they face a foe as fierce as she is evil: the den Alpha’s estranged sister.

Through their connection with the wolves, the den finds mates who breathe new life into their traditional ways, though opening their hearts leaves them easy targets for their enemies - but the den will do whatever it takes to protect their own.

This bundle contains the final three books in this best-selling series - all books are fully re-edited and guaranteed to give a serious case of the feels!

Included:

Alpha’s Wolf - A story of an unconventional pair. Alpha bear Liam is a lover, not a fighter, who runs a B&B, while omega wolf Frankie the Fingers is a former military intelligence operative who is currently helping Mikael track down his rogue sister. The fated pair - literally - run into each other in the midst of a storm from hell. With no Wi-Fi and cell reception, a possible traitor in the den, Liam's inability to slow down at the B&B, and Frankie's compulsive need to trace the rogue, how can they each unwind enough to take a mate?

Alpha’s Redemption - Alpha jaguar Hector leaves Belize and arrives in Mills Creek seeking his formerly betrothed mate only to find himself embroiled in the rogue war. All the local bear shifters will die without Hector’s empathic gift, a legacy that has passed through his family from ancient times. Sweet, lonely Drew is an omega bear who yearns to see the world that Hector has seen, but first they must protect the ones they love by finding a way to end the Rogue War.

Alpha’s Solstice - Ten years after the Rogue War ended, revisit each and every couple from the Northern Lodge Pack and The Northern Pines Den. Kai and Taylor, each the Alpha Mate of their respective communities, will join forces to plan the party to end all parties. From yule logs to bonfires, crazy aunties to placid betas, cubs and pups, too...all of the shifters you know and love will be there for the holiday!

These books are all intended for 18+ listeners only. It's advised to listen to the series in order for maximum appreciation. And yes, this book contains M/PREG, knotting, adults adulting in sexy naughty ways, and way more than the occasional use of potty mouth language! Caution: contains violent scenes and mentions of death, as the pack is at war.

Good bundle with great narration

#4 Liam and Frankie (4.5 Stars)

This was a true mate insta-connection. They're all still after Mikael's crazy sister and have finally, hopefully found a way to capture her and even restrain her. But there are a few twists and turns.

I liked how Liam and Frankie had opposite roles for the most part then what was expected for an Alpha and Omega. The two work really well together and I’m glad they found each other.

#5 Drew and Hector (4 Stars)

This one was mainly about the couple until it wasn’t. For a long while there wasn’t much talk about Mikael’s crazy sister, but the occasional chat on planning an attack. So, for most of the story we hear about Drew and Hector and then all of a sudden there ready to attack. I was a little disappointed in how it all played out and how quick it was.

#6 Conclusion 10 years later (4 Stars)

I wasn’t into this one as much as the other stories. I didn’t like that they waited 10 years to celebrate. I understand why, but I still think it was too long of a wait. It was nice to see a conclusion to all the couples and their children.

John Solo did an amazing job. He was clear to understand and I loved how he change voices for each character.

Liam may be my new favorite!

I’ve read and listened to these books since Susi’s Omega Series, and this may be my favorite. Liam and Frankie turn the typical dynamic on its head, and is my absolute favorite couple out of the whole bundle! I do recommend starting from the beginning so you get the whole scope of the world Susi created. It’s a beautiful one to get lost in.

amazing

loved it.. oh man these characters are wonderful.. i love their lives.. their mates.. their emotions.. they are so much fun to listen and learn and love. amazing!

Great Finish for Northern Pines Den

This is the set of books 4, 5 and 6 of the Northern Pines Den, the bear den near the Northern Pines Lodge of a previous series. In Alpha's Wolfe (Book 4), Alpha Bear Liam, runs a B&B, while Omega Wolf Frankie is former military intelligence who comes in to help Mikael track down his sister. In Alpha's Redemption (Book 5), Alpha Jaguar Hector comes to town to track town his former arranged betrothed, Diego. Omega Bear Drew wants to travel the world, but first they have to finish dealing with Mikael's sister. In Alpha's Solstice (Book 6), it's 10 years after the Rogue War and we get to revisit every couple/trio from both the Northern Pines Lodge Series and the Northern Pines Den Series as they all come together to celebrate the winter solstice.
This series is one of my favorites of the authors. The intense love that the individuals in the relationships and the sense of community the pack/den have is amazing to read. I absolutely love when each of the men find their mate/mates. This set ties up loose ends and story lines in book 1 of Northern Lodge Pack, and also sets up the Blood Legacy Series which focuses on some of the children of the couples/triads in these stories. The intricacies of these stories and the way that they weave through each other to tell a rich and fun story/world is amazing. John Solo did an amazing job giving life and personality to each of these characters, and helps bring the world into a clearer focus. Great series!!

Good continuation to the series!

Alpha's Wolf: (Liam & Frankie)

It was a nice change that Liam, the Alpha bear, was the one who cooked and wanted to be more on the background while his mate, Frankie, the wolf shifter, was the nerdy tech, more battle-ready of the two since he'd been in the military with Jules. They really fit well with each other, though, and as has been the case with the other couples (or throuples) in the series, they're hot together.

I'm really enjoying the continuing arc with Yvonne, especially now that we finally meet her, and while I had been fooled by Tommy, the rogue shifter, I had no clue of who he really was. Damn!

This was my favorite of the three stories included in this bundle.

Alpha's Redemption: (Hector & Drew)

Kinkier than the previous books, but very, very hot! A bit of Daddy kink, spanking and loads of chemistry between Hector and Drew, who, despite their age difference were pretty well matched. I loved that Drew felt comfortable enough to be sassy with Hector and how his confidence grew from when we met him in the previous book.

Things got set up for the final showdown against Yvonne and Tommy, which I was looking forward to. Unfortunately, it was kind of blink and you miss it. I was expecting something a bit more well, just more. It was pretty anticlimactic after so many books leading to it. At least the baddies lost, which is something, I guess. *shrugs*

While I liked Hector & Drew, I was disappointed by how quickly things got resolved with the rogue pack and Yvonne.

Alpha's Solstice - Everyone

This was a lovely way to wrap up these two series (Northern Lodge Pack and Northern Pines Den) and leave the door open for a new one set in the future. It was fun and steamy and gave us a glimpse into the future of all the couples we've met throughout both series. I'm really intrigued over what else Ms. Hawke might have in store for us in this 'verse.

Re.: The Narration: John Solo did a fantastic job, not only in this bundle but throughout the series bringing all these couples and characters (and there's a lot of those) come to life. He brought the necessary emotion to every scene and damn, if he didn't manage to make all those hot knotting scenes even hotter! *fans self*

I hadn't read these books before starting with the first Northern Pines Den bundle and while I might have been a bit lot when the guys from the Northern Lodge Pack appeared, I have no trouble recommending these audiobooks. They're entertaining, hot and action-packed and definitely ones I'll come back and revisit at some point.
