Zen Alpha

De: Sionnach Wintergreen

More than anything, struggling tech support specialist Bradley Evans wants an alpha male lover. He thinks he's found his perfect match, but when his domineering stockbroker boyfriend goes too far, Bradley wonders if his flexible, mindful neighbor might be just what he needs.

Ward Linden teaches autistic middle schoolers and is sexy and kind; but he isn't quite the alpha Bradley's been looking for. Do nice guys always have to finish last?

A fast listen, but great characters!

This is the first book from Sionnach Wintergreen and I was impressed by the characters, especially Ward.

All Bradley wants is an Alpha to love him and take care of him, and he thinks he finds his perfect alpha in Jackson. And while I enjoyed getting to know Bradley and Ward, Ms. Wintergreen also writes believable villains as well. Jackson is a horrible, emotional manipulative alpha who treats Bradley horribly. You can see the abuse and the control Jackson has over Bradley because when Bradley meets Ward and Ward explains that alphas, true alphas, are nothing like Jackson, he thinks his relationship with Jackson is perfect. As Bradley truly realizes that the image of a perfect alpha in his head needs to be changed, he realizes that Ward might not be his perfect ideation and his vision of what is perfect needs to change. And Bradley's mother is a...well, bitch. I couldn't stand her and in the end, I'm happy that Bradley realized what he needed in life.

First by this author

and I was not disappointed at all. The story aggravated me when Jackson was lauded to be the perfect alpha. Ward was obviously perfect for Bradley, he built him up instead of breaking him down. The story made me smile when Ward and Bradley finally got together, I wanted that to happen as soon as I met Ward. The story irritated me again when Jackson makes another appearance at the worst time ever. The story made me cry when Bradley text and called Ward to find out he had been shot. All these things make for an amazing story. If an author can make me feel an array of emotions the author becomes one of my 1-click authors.

Sweet, sexy, and engaging

Zen Alpha is perfectly titled. Ward is about as zen as it gets. The story starts off a bit slow as Ward and Bradley meet and get to know each other, but it does pick up and even those slower parts of the story are interesting. Bradley is something of a contradiction - high-strung and quick to lose his cool in most things, but timid and submissive in relationships. Ward is calm and easy-going, even when he's taking charge, so these two make for quite the pair when they do finally admit their attraction. And once they do come together, it is nothing short of scorching hot. There is some angst and Bradley gets a much needed eye-opener by way of tragedy, but there is also humor and sweetness between this sexy duo. Hugh Bradley does a wonderful job with the narration, making this one an entertaining and enjoyable listen.

good story

this was a good story. i havent read it yet so this was all new. it was a short one.. and the narrator was new to me also and did a very good job. the personalities were well spoken.. it was fun to listen to and overall i enjoyed it a lot.

Sweet romance

This is a sweet m/m romance that I enjoyed watching grow and develop. I liked that Bradley learned what a true alpha really is and not a fantasized idol version of an alpha. Ward was sweet and patient with Bradley, and they made the perfect fit. Jackson (ex) was a selfish narcissistic peacock without substance. Bradley's mom was a waste of time and space and was a materialistic unsupportive, superficial vessel.
