What made the experience of listening to The Alpha's Mate the most enjoyable?
When I read the summary I thought was, oh yeah just another wham bam shifter story, girl meets shifter falls madly in love jumps between the sheets kind a story.I was pleasantly surprised that it actually had a good plot and a real story to this one.BEST OF ALL a stronger lead female who wasn't just goanna run and cry for big bad shifter to save her but was happy to pick up a gun and stand her ground. Proving to everyone around her in the small town of rabbit Creak why she was perfect to be the Alphas mate.A great story, good plot, great description of the sort of scenery characters are set in, strong female lead and a good narrator.I recommend THE ALPHAS MATE to those looking for more than just sex, sex, sex in a shifter story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Alpha's Mate?
One of the moments I liked the most was when reveals to Henry that he doesn't need to worry that she knows everything that is going on between him and Marshall Goodman and that there is nothing to be ashamed of about being Gay. The shock that follows was absolute hilarious when Henry informs her that if would be fine if they were gay but they aren't, next he questions her on how many people she told about him and Marshal Goodman.Its so funny I could not stop laughing.
Which scene was your favorite?
I think that would have to be one of most favourite scenes in the book,
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did want to listen to all in one sitting in fact I had to listen to it two more times I loved it that much.
Any additional comments?
If you are looking for a real good shifter story with plot, character , drama and comedy with that bit of passion happening then this is a must for you.

I love Jacqueline Rhoades. She's an outstanding author who gives such wonderfully full story lines. I would recommend any book she writes. I will NOT give Leah Frederick (Narrator) another listen!! Because narration in an audiobook is EVERYTHING!!
Her voice is high pitched and it just hurt me to listen. I tried. Honest.
So, listen to the full sample listen before deciding to buy or not.

What didn’t you like about Leah Frederick’s performance?
She read every single line like it was a one-liner joke. It was unbearably annoying. I will follow this series, but in book form.

This was an awesome book.I enjoyed this book immensely! I got this book on auto. if you're looking for a well written book that grabs your attention and sucks you in . Combining humor, adventure and romance. Elizabeth (Lizzie) is a middle class librarian on a career break and the story starts with her suffering a disaster that most women are secretly afraid of. She is rescued by a stranger who turns out to be the local Chief of Police - Marshall, who is tall dark and handsome but supposedly unavailable.
Lizzie rents a cabin in the woods where she plans to write a book. She quickly becomes ensconced in local life and settles in quickly when she discovers a secret that turns her world upside down. this is the beginning of wonderful series, I can't wait to read or listen to the next one.

I enjoyed the storyline from the beginning, but felt the ending should have been a bit less abrupt.
I was Impressed that the characters were well developed, captured and held my interest throughout the story. The sex scenes included sparked just the right amount of heat, and added to the excitement of the storyline without being used as filler.
I enjoyed the voices of the narrator for the characters, and look forward to listening to her talent again. In addition, I look forward to more books written by the author, and recommend others do the same.

i bought the audio book to this story after starting the Ebook but not having the time to carry on, so i know it's the narrator that has ruined this story.her voice is far too distracting, and just when i think i can get use to it, she does something else to put me off.please, if you are able, try the Ebook instead of the Audio for this story.

Not sure is it was entirely the writing that was crap or the narrators style or a combination but this book was just hard work to get through.
I prefer books with narrators that are really good voice actors and convey the emotions and nuances of the story and I found that lacking.
In regards to the actual story it reminded me of molly harpers books only not really funny and a little bit awkward. Elizabeth didn't inspire me to feel anything for her neither did Marshall. The sex scenes were naff and I don't mind these being full of juicy details or skimmed over as long as they are well written.
Aside from that there where a few bits I did genuinely enjoy and I would have enjoyed it more had I read the book as the narrator really doesn't have the kind of style I enjoy. Might try book 2 on my kindle one day...maybe

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Alpha's Mate?
There were a few - I don't think I can isolate one.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Any additional comments?
I really enjoy the light hearted approach - no stress and even the aggression is not horrific. A good read if you want a calm enjoyable time.

I enjoyed the story and the characters were great, but the narrator did put me off a bit. She sounded like someone on a television advertisement gushing on about the benefits of cleaner or something, too enthusiastic in general. I found it somewhat annoying, but I persevered because I liked the story.
What did you like most about The Alpha's Mate?
Easy listening,
Great character's,funny in places.
Have you listened to any of Leah Frederick’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No,first time.as I said,easy listening.
Any additional comments?
Loved it,will read the rest in the series.
Well worth the read. I'm definitely going to read again. You should too if this is your thing. 5 stars
When you read this book it was so good that you ware part of it from the beginning and get you all way to the hart of the book and on the way to the next book, please read on you will never get tired of it thank you.
