BLURB:

An awkward, traumatized omega and a patient alpha determined to court him properly… fate has a way of righting old wrongs.

Stolen from his mother’s arms and reported stillborn at birth, Tom spent nearly twenty-one years in structured captivity with other stolen omegas. His brothers. A dozen omegas, each with a secret superpower, who now must learn a whole new skill—how to thrive in a modern world.

Not every brother emerged from their past unscathed, and Tom had the worst of it. His key to survival was a healthy respect for rules. Now that he’s free, he’s still a little bit obsessive and a whole lot compulsive. He’s got anxiety, fear of change… and a list of plans for his future.

None of which involved finding a fated mate.

But if they had? His plans definitely wouldn’t have been to meet his dream alpha while smelling of afterbirth and the blood of an enemy killed in defense of his pregnant brother—the same brother whose child he then had to deliver… post-shift and naked.

If he’d been planning, if he’d made a list and checked it twice, Tom never could’ve designed an alpha more perfectly devoted than the delicious one fate put in front of him during one of the craziest days of his life… an alpha so patient, he insists on courting the skittish omega.

The West Coast Wolves is an mpreg series about five alphas. A small pack of bikers who spent years riding the highways and helping those in need until fate gave them each a pack to lead. This 85k full-length novel is Nick’s story. Prepare yourself for a romantic courtship, a perfect first kiss, and more feels and giggles than you can handle. But then again, this is a Susi Hawke book so what else can you expect?

Possible triggers for child abduction, trafficking both past and present, and haunting memories of past abuse that included both humiliation and the non-penetrative molestation of a teenager by a person in authority. 

REVIEW:

Well, if anyone can pull a nomad type alpha together with a list for everything type omega and somehow make it all work….it’s Susi. And she does it with a flair like no one else. While the rest of us are on pins and needles wondering what is going to happen next and if everyone is going to make it and if they’re going to have HEAs, etc, etc, I have a feeling Ms. Susi is giggling at the torment she knows we are going to go through.

I couldn’t have picked a better mate for Nick. His life is not one of someone who just needs to settle. Yes, he’s a alpha, but he’s just not the pack type. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to have a family in the future, but if it’s in the cards. With learning things he did as he was kicked out of his own pack at 18, his outlooks on the antiquity of how packs are run is not very high. And who could blame him. And then he meets an Omega who learns has the same outlooks he does. Funny how fated mates work huh?

But I love the way these two are together. Because of what happened in Tom’s past and knowing what they all went through as a whole, Nick is just the perfect guy for all of them to be around, really. He has such a laid back, caring, yet carefree attitude about things for the most part. He listens, truly listens, he’s empathetic with all the guys and it just makes him even more perfect for Tom. Because he knows how to navigate around all of them.

But Tom is just as perfect for Nick and the guys as well. Yeah, so he’s a little OCD as far as planning, but it’s been a blessing for everyone as it’s helped as much as he gets teased about it. But because his ideas are so forward thinking, he’s the perfect one to help Nick implemented the changes they are going to need to go forward.

I really loved these two and honestly don’t think there could have been any one of the other brothers that could have been better for Tom than Nick. Or vice versa. And seeing who the next pair are going to be, I’m curious to see how the parents of this Omega are going to try to get out of this one. It’s definitely going to be interesting.
