He was rejected by his parents, kicked out of his pack, and now his car breaks down on his way south. What else could go wrong? He soon finds out when the police rock up, and the sexy cop turns out to be his mate. What he didn't expect was his mate to walk away from him without so much as a backward glance.Marcus Holland was having one hell of a week. He broke up with his girlfriend and then copped an earful from his mother about settling down and having kids. All he wanted was to go home and relax. Little did he know, one last call-out on his way home would change his life forever.Can Marcus come to terms with the fact that his mate is a man, or will he risk losing Brian forever? However, not everyone in the pack is entirely happy with this mating.Members Reviews:Great performance and an OK storyThis is the Australian version of the Brac Pack. A very basic, sweet and predictable shifter, soul mate story with the added twist of three openly gay brothers (one the Alpha) and the one "straight" one falls for a man. Since he is straight, he rejects his mate; and we all know how successful that is in shifter stories. Add a lot of sex, a crazy ex and a supportive family and you have the makings of an enjoyable listen; just don't expect too much. There is a little more character development than a Siren shifter book, but not much. The narrator is an Australian, which goes a long way to making this a four star instead of a three star listen. He does a great job bringing the story to life. I look forward to the next one.Can't wait for the next book!Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?I love this book. I am so glad it has come to audio. Dominic M. McCartney did a fantastic job with the wonderful characters that Toni Griffin has written. I hope the next book in the series gets put to audio soon. I hope Dominic continues to narrate this series. I highly recommend this. You'll enjoy it.What about Dominic M. McCartneys performance did you like?Crisp, clear and was great with the different voices. I would read another book narrated by Dominiclove this booka sweet story. I can't wait for the next three books to come out .Predictable, but entertainingAny additional comments?Though it doesn't offer anything new to the shifter genre, and was in fact totally predictable, and even though Brian could have been a woman for all the masculine qualities he was given (hint: a penis is pretty much the only masculine quality he has), I still enjoyed it.Sometimes predictable is good. It's comforting in it's own way. This was just what I needed, right when I needed it and by the time I finished listening I was smiling.Bottom line? I enjoyed it enough to want to pick up the second book, which is Alex's story.Sassy meets big bad wolfThis story is one of my favorites....It broke my heart when Brian was denied his mate multiple times.......But luckily he stayed strong and Marcus got his head out of his butt.......I think this drama in the beginning made them stronger for what happens in the end of the story. Please go buy this....it is worth it and more.....Contact me for any questions: [email protected]
