The Alpha and His King

Kincaid Pack, Book 1

De: Kiki Clark

Narrado por: Kirt Graves

When Kai flies out of a shed, swinging a rake, Rick's life flips upside down.

As alpha, Rick's dedication to his pack has never wavered - until Kai. The pull he feels toward the younger man is more than a simple distraction, but Rick won't let himself lose focus. Not while a hidden enemy is drawing near.

Moving in with the grumpy alpha who saved him is a big change for Kai, and it isn't long before he begins to ache for something he can't have. As a half-human shifter responsible for his three younger siblings, he knows he can never be Rick's mate.

Pushing aside their doubts and insecurities, they grow closer. But when the pack's enemies strike, bringing their fears to fruition, Rick and Kai have to decide if they're willing to risk it all to be together.

Contains mature themes.

Just Wow!

LOVED the start to this series! Always love Kirts narration, his voices are AWESOME !

Not what I was expecting, but was better

I loved the whole story. I enjoyed the story and world building. It’s hard for me to find books like this. Thank you for having it on audible. 100/10

Absolutely Wonderful.

This is my first book by Kiki, and I must say I am fantastically expressed. This story is wonderful. A great start to a new series. Kai & Rick omgosh. I loved the compassion, loyalty and love they have for their family is so refreshing and welcomed. I just loved it. and the narration of Kirt Graves bringing these characters to life, OUTSTANDING. The only little disappointment I had was that, I wish a harder, or a beat down was administrator. To me, I feel certain people partially got away scott free. I look so forward in the next book. I just pray🙏🏽 that we will not have to wait long for the next installment of this amazing series. I highly recommend you all checkout this author and this story. You will definitely not be disappointed.

The love Rick and Kai have for each other

This may be a romance novel, by my GOSH have I been struck. I want my own Rick Kincaid 😩 This book is my everything right now. best M/M romance I've ever read and listened to.

Great narration!

This is my first time with this author and I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to start the next one. I love Kirt Graves’ voice. He has great character voices too.

Just a couple notes

The book was free so 5 stars. Now my feedback. I’m assuming this series is 1 alpha per pack leading betas. There was no mention of omegas. There is also no Mpreg.
The romantic relationship between the the MC’s is really wierd, off putting, and at times icky cringe worthy. Every time the older MC called the young MC especially during sex was so yuck. The chemistry is not there. Maybe the next books will be better.

Loved it!

I love the mix of magical beings, witches, seers, all different kinds of shifters. It's so cool! This story is fun and intriguing and just a little dark. It ended without the mystery being solved, so I'll definitely be checking out the next book. I love the hurt/comfort between Rick and Kai and his siblings. That was super sweet.
The narrator for the audiobook is awesome!

Love it

Awesome story loved everything about it. Rick Ki all the Kincaid pack is great! Can’t wait for the next one.

Good Series Starter

This was my first experience with Kiki Clark and Kirt Graves and I really enjoyed it. Clark has created a really unique world here – shifters but without the typical fated mates aspect, though it’s definitely instant attraction. While each book in the series follows the relationship of a couple giving them an HEA, there’s also a series story arc that runs throughout the books, so you’ll want to listen to them all and in order.

There’s a lot of world building going on but Clark does a good job of keeping it interesting and I didn’t feel like the pace was affected by it. While Rick & Kai are wolf- shifters – the Kincaid Pack is made up of various animals as well as seers and witches. I’m a fan of books with kids in them and while not exactly a “single dad” trope – Kai’s responsibility for his younger siblings definitely brings all of those feels to the story. I also like that the kids are not just convenient props, Clark has made them an integral and believable aspect.

There are some heavy elements in here such as abuse, violence, and some relationship angst. Tempered by a little bit of humor and new found family. I love the secondary characters as much as the main couple. While Rick and Kai get their HFN, the mystery surrounding attacks on the pack are just revealing themselves to be larger than anyone thinks. I’m definitely looking forward to Keiran & Bennett’s book, The Second and His Bonded.

Narration:
This is my first time listening to a narration by Kirt Graves and I’m absolutely in love with his style and voices. There are a LOT of characters in this book and Graves gives them all unique voices and personalities. My favorite part is that he performs each chapter in a voice corresponding to that character which makes it easy to keep track of perspective. He’s definitely being added to my “find more!” list of narrators.

Loved it!

I listened to the first book in the spin-off series and decided to go back and delve into the Kincaid pack’s story. I really enjoyed this one! Ample doses of hurt/comfort, grumpy/sunshine, and found family are woven through a fast-paced, emotionally satisfying shifter narrative that absolutely kept my attention for nearly 10 hours! This one ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, which is fine by me. I’m happy to spend more time with the Kincaid pack. :)
