An MM Mpreg Romance

Team: A.L.P.H.A.:Six battle-hardened alphas with one goal—to save any omega in peril.

David Dempsey, the younger omega brother of Team ALPHA’s crazy twin duo, has gone missing after a camping trip with some human friends. He'd only planned to celebrate his upcoming college graduation—but somehow ended up taken captive by a sketchy group after catching them in a criminal act when he wandered too far away from his group.

Simon "Boomer" Chiarelli is a laid-back alpha with a love for things of an incendiary nature—but nothing has ever been as explosive as the connection he feels when he catches the scent of his mate. But why, of all the shifters on the planet, does his mate have to be related to the twins?

Can Team ALPHA stay united when tension breaks out among their own? Between dodging Zeke’s famous knife and Ezra’s penchant for hitting things—while still trying to connect with his new mate—Boomer’s life is about to blow-up in a whole new way.

This is the third book in our top-selling series, but can definitely be read as a stand-alone novel. You can expect to find naughty, knotty scenes of steamy passion, along with a lot of potty-mouth language and some violence. No humans were harmed in the writing of this book—unless they kinda deserved it. HEA definitely included, intended for 18+ readers only. Seriously, would you expect anything less from Susi Hawke and Crista Crown?

I'm a total fan of M/PREG Paranormal Romances, first and foremost as a reader. I'm excited to share my own omegaverse(s) with you. What's not to love about adorable Omegas and the Alpha men who love them? If I'm not writing about men sporting baby bumps, I'm definitely reading about them!

I'm a native of Las Vegas, NV, so I'm pre-wired to love everything weird ~ although I don't find any kind of love to be weird. I'm a cis woman who's been happily married to the same lovable lug for 18 years. We have a 16yr old son, well, at least I think we do? Either that, or we have a ghost that eats all our food and uses up all wifi playing xbox while screaming into a headset.

As a new author, it's been amazing to find the amount of support that I've been given from readers and my fellow authors. Feel free to message me, I love to chat with fellow readers. Am I a reader? Heck yeah! In fact, I'm never certain that I can completely trust an author who isn't a fellow bibliophile.

I will try to update here when I'm doing promotional parties & chats. I usually do those on Facebook. If you haven't already signed up for my newsletter, you should totally do it! I only send out NL's to announce new releases or important announcements. I also like to note in my NL what I'm currently reading along with a cover shot and the link for anyone who is interested.

I look forward to interacting with everyone here!

This series is really adorable.

I so adore the Alphas in this series, and Boomer was no exception. He was sweet and loveable to his mate Davey.

Zeke and Ezra were assholes for most of the book, however, Ezra came around by the end of the book.

Boomer and Davey accepted their made bond right away and they were adorable as they tried to find their way in their relationship.

The plot is moving along smoothly and we have another mated couple 💑. This time Boomer and David, Zeke and Ezra's brother. Drug 💉 trafficking and shifter trafficking along with corrupt Fun agents.

Ready to see where the next book takes us and who is our lucky Alpha. Zeke with his stubborn 😣attitude or Erza with his quick witted, smartass comments or our neighborhood geek Jonah.

Exceptional narration for a thrilling fated-mates tale!

This is the first book I’ve read in the Team A.L.P.H.A. Series and it can definitely be read as a standalone, but now want to go back and read the others in the series as the whole team seems great and I’d like to know their stories too. All the characters in this book were great and the unfortunate interruption to Boomer and David’s mating (knotting) was hilarious! The writing is witty, humorous and thrilling. While a rather short tale it is still a detailed adventure to stop the ‘bad guys’. While I liked David’s twin brothers, I didn’t really understand their continued animosity to Boomer and David’s mating but it did make for extra entertainment and a lot of potty-mouthed sass! I look forward to seeing them find their mates and see what happens!

I loved Boomer and David together and the family they made together. Speaking of families I loved Boomer’s ‘lazy’ sisters and lovable mum. They made great secondary characters and added so much fun and laughter to the story!

Now the narration on this was exceptional!! I have my preferred narrating style and my favorite narrators but Colin Darcy blew me away!!! He had different dialects for each character and while these were subtle differences it was so easy to tell them apart. With the two main characters, I often had check that it really was only narrated by one person, his accents for both David and Boomer were so different and in my mind matched perfectly with the characters. His voices for all the women were also done really well and not overdone or annoying in the voice tones. I loved this narration and will differently be looking for more audiobooks narrated by Colin!!!

Thanks for reading! For great stories, reviews and more please visit https://bookstattoosandtea.wordpress.com 📚

This third book is a bit on the silly side. The twins anger for the mating lasts a bit long.

**********Contains Spoilers**********

I thoroughly this story. All the Team A.L.P.H.A crew are at Mama C’s, Boomer’s parents house about to sit down for dinner but then Zeke and Ezra’s phone simultaneously ring and they’re about to turn their phone off since it’s Mama C’s rules no phones at the dinner table but then they get an earful from Mama C telling them that it must be important if their mum is trying to get ahold of them so badly, they find out that their little brother Davey was camping with his human friends from College and he’s gone missing, the twins give their mum sh*t for not contacting them first but she tells them that even though he went missing last night they only just found out about now since they told the human authorities, since she’s on speaker phone Jonah pipes up and says that he’ll need Davey’s phone number so he can start to track him and if he’d already had his phone number he could start now. The guys leave straight away to grab their gear and go to the coordinates that Jonah gives them, they find his phone put don’t see any sign of Davey about from his scent all over the place, Levi asked the twins how old Davey is and whether or not he’s had his first heat or not because that would account for how marked up the woods are with his scent and that he’s nearing his heat. They lose Davey’s scent trail but find oil on the ground from the truck that obviously took Davey so since they can’t follow Davey’s scent they could follow the oil until they find him. They come across a barely standing caravan park surrounded by barbwire fence, in the middle of the woods and they have a look around and find that Davey is inside one of the caravan’s so they wait until it gets dark and take out any security and Boomer does what he does best and blows some sh*t up to cause a distraction so the twins can get Davey out. As soon as Boomer meets up with the rest of his team, bad guys attack so the twins tell Boomer to get Davey to safety, Boomer and Davey scent each other as true mates. They had the best intentions of talking to the twins before Davey’s heat became to too distracting but it went out the window and to make matters worse the rest of the team shows up and Boomer and Davey are still kn*tted together, to say that the twins aren’t happy is a complete understatement. I don’t fully understand why the twins are so p*ssed at Boomer for so long but it made it that much funnier. It’s not like he took advantage of him and you can’t help who fate chooses for you. I hope that when the twins do find their own fated mates that they don’t have to go through what both Boomer and Davey went through with the twins. Boomer didn’t help matters with the whole brotherf*cker comments to the twins and I’m surprised that he didn’t get a dull knife to his b*lls considering what the twins are known for and how many times they threatened to do it. I’m really looking forward to meeting the allusive Pax and to see how Zeke is when he finds out who is fated mate is. I’d definitely recommend this book, series and both authors to everyone.

Teil 2 der Reihe war ja eher ein kleiner Reinfall für mich, aber da ich andere Bücher der Autorin sehr mochte, war ich zuversichtlich, dass dies eine Ausnahme war. Und so war es dann auch. Dieser dritte Band hat mir wieder sehr gefallen.
Es ging dieses mal um David und Simon (Boomer). David ist der jüngere Bruder von Zeke und Ezra, den Zwillingen im Team A.L.P.H.A.. Boomer ist der Sprengstoffexperte im Team. David wird am Anfang des Buches entführt und das Team muss ihn retten. Dabei bemerken dann Boomer und David, dass sie für einander bestimmt sind und, wie fast immer in den Büchern der Autorin, gehen sie noch am selben Tag eine Paarbindung ein, was eben auch Sex beinhaltet. Davids Brüder sind alles andere als begeistert. Beide haben keine Erfahrung wie es einem geht, wenn man den Seelengefährten trifft und keine Kontrolle mehr über sich hat. Oder halt nur sehr wenig. Daher verstehen sie nicht, dass Boomer ohne ihre Erlaubnis die Paarbindung mit ihrem Bruder vollzogen hat. Sie denken er hat die Situation ausgenutzt. Es gibt daher lange Zeit heftigen Streit zwischen ihnen. Obwohl David gleich schwanger wird (es geht hier um Omegaverse, also können auch Männer Kinder kriegen) und selbst nach der Geburt des Babies, kriegen die Brüder sich nicht ein und es muss von einigen Personen interveniert werden.
In diesem Band gefiel mir das Paar wieder super, da es eben eher das klassische Alpha-Omega-Verhältnis war. Auch das Drumherum fand ich wieder sehr unterhaltsam, vor allem die Interaktion zwischen den vielen Familienmitgliedern. Es war einfach herrlich und witzig wie Boomers Familie reagiert hat und überhaupt ist das eine absolut geniale und individuelle Familie. Der Spannungsteil, der sich über die ganzen Bände hinwegzieht, schritt auch hier wieder voran, da wohl die Fälle, um die es in den letzten Bänden ging, auch mit den Leuten zu tun hat, die in diesem die Bösewichte waren. Ich bin gespannt wie es weitergeht. Daher habe ich schon mit dem vierten Band begonnen.

Story 4,4/5
Charaktere 5,0/5
Schreibstil 3,6/5
Erotik 4,0/5

3.75 out of five stars.................................


This book was great but I think it could have used one more round of edits. There were (quite) a few places that had spelling errors or had some extra words thrown in. But it was (mostly) easy to over look, especially if you read a lot of fanfiction.

I loved that this book featured the younger brother of the twins! We got to see the twins being over protective to the point of being assholes. It’s fantastic. And David! David is just such a fun character. He’s sassy and doesn’t take shit from anyone, especially his overbearing alpha older brothers! He’s a little spitfire and he kind of brought the communication issues, the “feelings” talks, to the forefront of this book with both his mate Boomer and his brothers. It was kind of nice!

I loved that Boomer has this huge, loud, chaotic family! It’s filled with strong women that love to cook and shop and talk endlessly. They are almost the complete opposite of Boomer himself. It was so nice to see Boomer’s family accept David into their fold as soon as they laid eyes on him. That’s one of the things that I’ve really loved about these books, they’re filled with acceptance and love.

Another thing I loved was how much this reads like fanfic. It’s pretty crazy that I’ve fallen so in love with this series. This one is getting a solid 3.75 out of five stars.

Here we have David/Davey who is the twins younger brother and Boomer/Simon who is their munitions expert. When Davey gets kidnapped on a camping trip with his buddies, Alpha team heads out to find him. When Boomer catches his scent he thinks there is something odd about. When he finds & rescues Davey, he immediately knows that this is his mate & he is starting his heat. When they find a place to whole up for the night, Davey goes into full blown heat & well you know what happens then. What they didn't expect is that the twins would find them while Boomer is still knotting Davey. Needless to say, they are less than thrilled. They pretty much accuse Boomer of taking advantage of Davey. Since they are not mated they have no idea what overcomes you when you find your mate & your mate goes into heat. So for the majority of the book, the twins are absolute shits to Boomer and I was really starting to get pissed off at them. Yes Davey is their baby brother but he is a grown man and is capable of making his own choices. There is a lot of big family time, laughter and little ones running around. Eventually the twins and Boomer make peace. The next book is Zeke's and I can't wait to read it.

Overall: 3.5 Stars

Struck is my first book in this series, so I'm a bit late to the party, but the authors give enough information to make it stand alone well enough.

I really liked Boomer and David together. Yes, they were fated mates, but they had amazing chemistry and were fun, sweet and hot together. Boomer didn't try to smother David and David was more than capable of making decisions for himself and standing up to his horrible brothers, who I hated with the fire of a thousand suns for how they treated Boomer and David throughout the book and that are the main reason I didn't rate this book higher.

The rest of the team and Boomer's family and David's parents were lovely, but I could've done without the twins' aggressiveness against Boomer and I'm not sure I'd read a book with any of them as leads, that's how much I didn't like them.

The narration was really good. Colin Darcy has a wide range of voices and gives each of the scenes the right amount of emotion it needs. I would've liked Boomer to sound a bit more Italian, but it was enjoyable enough.

The Bane of Wolves' Existence
Finding your place in the world can be very difficult especially when you don't feel like you fit in or quite know where you're headed. Humans or shifters - which world did he belong in? David was nothing like his brash raucous older twin brothers. He was a real sweetheart. I loved his personality which was almost the opposite of his big tough brawny Alpha that he was fated to.

Their meeting and mating was hilarious. The reader was constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. Boomer turned out to be the perfect mate for David. Their courtship was romantic and mouth watering, especially when it involved food.

The tensions Boomer experienced with David's brothers were a central part of the story. But for David's sake, team cohesiveness, and family acceptance they had to learn to live with one another without continued threats and actual violence. This was my favorite book of the series so far.

Boom! This book is a blast!

Boomer is the munitions guy for Team ALPHA. He loves to blow things up and help his brothers in arms... But he never thought the twins would because his actual brothers in law.
David was just camping with friends when he stumbled upon a scene he shouldn't have and got taken prisoner but some crazy anti shifter group who worked a drug ring and carried around a another's enemy, Wolfsbane. Team Alpha comes to the rescue to save The younger brother of 'The Twins" and fate steps in.... Fated mates that is.
Boomer and David bond fast when heat and the kick in, much to the brothers' displeasure. Can the Teamwork out their issues and take down some enemies before danger comes again?

Boomer and David are sweet and sexy characters with a great love story. Definitely recommend.

Boomer and David

This is the third book in the Team ALPHA series. It can be read as a stand-alone. I think this one was my favorite of the series so far. The team goes to find Davey (David) which happens to be the “twins” kid brother (the twins are two members of the team). Turns out Boomer and David are fated mates. The twins aren’t happy about the development. As in the previous books, there is a lot of joking amongst the team but now there is added tension as the twins cope with their friend being with their baby omega brother. Also we get to meet Boomer’s crazy fun Italian family. This book has all the staples of an alpha/omega book (fated mates, heat, knotting, mpreg). And if comes with a HEA. Fun, enjoyable, easy read.

Boomer gets a mate!

I'm loving these books, the series only gets better with every new addition. I laughed so much while reading this one, I especially loved how much David became my spirit animal! Lol

Character breakdown;

David: I liked this guy he was fun to read and I loved how he was nonchalant about eating everything. Food lovers and all that good stuff! Lol

Boomer: holy cow all those sisters! The one thing I love about Italians (besides their food) is their closeness with their families. The fact that Boomer had so many that quickly embraced his mate was great to read.

The book is quick with the romance, the jokes are abundance and the awww never dies. Definitely a must read!

*WARNING* contains explicit m/m sexual situations
Boomer is the munitions expert in Team A.L.P.H.A. and is Italian. When Mama C invites the whole team over for dinner, of course they go, who doesn't love Italian? Boomer and the guys don't get their dinner with his mom because they get a call saying the baby brother of the twins has gone missing.
Davey is an omega wolf shifter, but would rather be human. Davey was at a party with his college friends when he heard someone in pain. David should have stayed with his friends.
I have read this series from book one. I think these would be best read in order. I have enjoyed this series. I like characters, the story, the plot of each book gets us closer to the root of the problem as well as letting the guts find their fated mates. RECOMMENDED

Spoiler alert second review

I wrote a review and I got an email saying Amazon didn't post it. They didn't tell me why. So here's my second try at it. This is the third book where alphas rescue omegas. In this one the younger brother of the crazy twins is kidnapped. During the rescue Boomer realizes the omega is his mate and that he is in heat, which throws him into rut. While they are knotted together the twins walk in on them. They proceed to literally kick Boomer in t the ass. The twins are overprotective crazy mo-fos with a talent for torture. Would you want them as your in-laws? Things are tense on the team until the three talk. The funniest line in the book was when Zeke called Boomer a mo-fo and he replied no he was a brother effer. Hopefully with the actual curse words this review will be posted.

i really liked this one.
we finally got to know the quiet Boomer who loves to blow shit up.
and David was just adorable, the way he would stand up to his brothers.
i can't wait for Zeke and Ezra's books they are probably my favorites out of all the guys on the team.

i'm just wondering which of the guys are gonna end up mated to Pax cause i can totally see that happening.
or maybe Jonah is actually an omega??
that wouldn't surprise me either, he is said to be smaller than the others on the team, and maybe he takes something to cover it kinda like one of the dragons in susi hawkes other series.

I’m really enjoying this protector shifter series. This book focuses on Boomer (incendiary specialist for team ALPHA) rescuing his fated mate who happens to be his team mates’ younger brother.

After mating, biting and impregnating his Omega, the ALPHAs discover that the group who kidnapped David are a small chapter in a much larger clan of shifter-hating humans and set a plan to take out each chapter, one by one.

This is a great addition to the series. Boomer and David are great together and I really like their dynamic. Love that twist that Boomer's fated mate happens to be the little brother of Zeke and Ezra, that definitely makes for some awesome drama. I really enjoyed the progression of their relationship and I'm looking forward to the next one in the series. I can't wait until Zeke and Ezra find their mates! The narrator did a great interpretation of the characters and I enjoyed his telling of the story. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Struck...hmph. I actually like the characters of Boomer and David...can even relate a bit with David and his questioning self. If the mate bond is so intense and the construct of ‘heat’ is so debilitating, I’m glad that its fiction. As the third in the series, I know the characters of the Alpha’s and their unique bond but the reactions of the brothers (Zeke and Ezra)was a bit much and drained the joy that could have been achieved in the story. Further, to have David just dismiss all that he had worked for was a bit disconcerting. Minor spoilers there...sorry. Could have been better. Just my opinion.

Enjoying the series so far!

The only problem I have with it is that when Cody went into heat and Levi rut there was no pregnancy. You keep writing about how newly mated true mates come together there's a pregnancy. Not for those two though, and the twins were old enough for Cody to go into a mating heat so it seemed wrong he didn't get pregnant. I do love 💘 the series. It's just that with all the other pregnancies that I was frustrated that the same didn't happen for Cody and Levi since the sperm donor of the twins was a fluke that usually didn't happen. Also audible is with some of the books yet not others that is also confusing.

I just can’t even with this book

WTF??? This is a book that’s supposed to be about Boomer and David right? My biggest takeaway from it before I just couldn’t anymore? That Zeke and Ezra are giant tw*t waffles who don’t deserve to find their own mates if this is the way they treat their own literal BROTHER when he finds his. I get being all protective and whatnot, but this isn’t that. This depicts them as having utter disdain for not only their brother, but their brother in arms and I just can’t even with that. So I have gladly DNF’d this book and decided I have less than no desire to read anymore of the series.

The whole "brothers with attitude" just didn't work for me... grrr

I like Zeke and Ezra, but Zeke wasn't happy about the situation with David and Boomer and just wouldn't let it go. Can we say childish and immature? 🤦‍♀️

Short reads, like these, are just the thing for when you need a quick chuckle and just a touch of angst. Totally loving the "family" dynamics of this one! If you thought the Dempsey clan was big, wait until you get a look at the Chiarelli gang... daannnggg! 🤣🤣🤣

Now, to find time to move on to Hacked...

Another easy read to this series.

I'm working my way through this series. It's been okay so far. This probably is my favorite up till now. However, physical descriptions are very minimal, so I don't have a great mental picture of what any of the characters look like. I'm hoping that improves as the series progresses. Additionally, the abundance of typos and missing words is disappointing. But, for a quick, easy, no-angst read, I'm still going to continue the series (for now).

I did enjoy the closer relationship shown between Boomer and David in this book. The others had been lacking that connection for me.

Best book yet!

This book has found an amazing balance that no other MMPREG novel i have read delivers.
The author introduces females into the storyline that actually play a major support role. With the understanding that this is a same sex genre novel, it is surprisingly pleasant to be introduced to the estrogen side of the shifter world that is only ever hinted at.
These females went a long way to having me fly through this book in page turning pleasure. A good reminder that every book needs balance.

I just lo e the Team A.L.P.H.A series. Boomer and David are 2 of my favorite characters although the Twins and Jonah are my absolute favorite. What I love about this story is the constant fighting between Boomer and the twins kids shows the depths of their relationship. What I love about this series is, in book 1 you absolutely fall in love with the whole team and the parents you can't help it. I highly recommend this series for anyone who enjoys shifters books, and sweet romances. But let's not forget the things that go BOOM... this hole series is a must read. Happy reading.

You can see where book three is going from the end of chapter one and you just know it isn’t going to be pleasant for anyone! Of course now it’s got me waiting for Zeke and Ezra to find their fated mates and have to do huge mea culpas!

There’s not a lot to the sub plot here except that we find out it ties in to the overarching storyline. The main focus is on Boomer and David. Boomer’s family is great and the scenes with them are hysterical. The hints for the upcoming books are intriguing and I’m anxious to get the mystery solved.

This one was a little hard. I was really frustrated with the atrocious way that Ezra and Zeke acted. They should know better than to think that Boomer would do something that was honorable. Even if they struggled with it some they were horrible to both Boomer and David and it lowered them in my eyes a little bit. I'm sure that they will be redeemed in their books but I don't like the feeling of being angry with them. It made Boomer and Davids mating and pregnancy less happy than it should have been.
