Fated: Wolf and the Hare

Pack of Brothers, Book 1

De: Hawke Oakley

Narrado por: Zachary Zaba

A wolf seeking his fated mate.

Alpha wolf shifter Hugo left his pack in hopes of creating a family of his own. Along with his brothers, they search for a new territory together where they can all live in peace. Despite Hugo’s young age, his instincts are strong. He knows there’s a better future out there for him - and his potential mate. The only problem is finding him.

When Hugo’s instincts lead him to saving a wild hare from the jaws of a fellow shifter, Hugo suspects it’s his fated mate. But can predator and prey truly be fated?

A hare banished for being different.

With his patchwork fur and strange habits, omega hare Len has never fit in. Since he was young, the warren has never truly accepted him. But when a fox attack is unfairly blamed on Len, he’s banished from the warren forever.

When Hugo offers Len a place with the wolves on their journey, Len has no choice but to agree. Being a hare among wolves is strange enough, but when Len feels a spark with Hugo, he doubts his own emotions.

Because a wolf and a hare are too different to be together...right?

adorable love story

I can't wait until the other books are out. The story is very sweet and heart warming. It is an mmpreg which is one of my favorites

So freakin cute

I adore this author and their many mpreg books. It’s so awesome to be able to listen to them as well, can’t wait to listen to the rest of this wonderful series I have read like 3 times😅.

Poor Character Development

I love MM shifter romances, but I could barely finish this book. The concept was cute. Unfortunately, the characters were so flat that I struggled to suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy the story. For instance, the fox was not a believable threat, even considering his character arc. Nor was the head hare. Sage's level of innocence would have been believable in a ten year old. It was completely unrealistic for a 21 year old. That disconnect ruined the "happy-go-lucky comic relief" trope the author was going for. Without the support of good character development, the story read like a random series of empty tropes strung together. I like tropes if they're used effectively, but that certainly wasn't the case here. I'm frustrated that other readers rated this story so highly. I wouldn't have purchased the book if I'd known. The narrator did a great job trying to bring the story to life, considering what he had to work with.

Just okay

I appreciate the interesting concept of the book and I really enjoyed the beginning a lot but it kinda goes downhill from there in my opinion. It’s lighthearted which I appreciate because so many books are depressing but it’s not very deep and none of the characters have much development. I was in a reading slump and this helped me want to read again. I like how every character feels distinct with their own special personality but there was an unlikeable character that kept popping up in the book and I’m not sure if the author wanted us to grudgingly like him or not. I did not, however I thought he was a better bad guy than the actual “bad guy” in the book. The conflict solution was astoundingly quick but not as quick as the romance in the book. They lusted for each other instantly and decided to stay together forever almost just as fast. This book would have benefited from a slower romantic build up that would have made their devotion to each other feel more genuine.
