The Alpha's Widower

De: Susi Hawke

Narrado por: Drew Bacca

What's a guy to do when his straight best friend proposes a fake marriage? Just say...yes!

Laurie Adams looked like he had it all, but his marriage was a sham, a Mr. Wrong chosen for all the wrong reasons. When his husband dies, Laurie has no time to mourn the cheating bastard, and his in-laws have decided Laurie isn't fit to raise his children, and they'll do anything to take them from him. He's lost his husband and his faith in people, but he won't lose his children, too. So he runs back home to the small farm town he'd left behind a decade ago.

Dean MacIntosh should be the perfect alpha for anyone, but all around town he's known as Mr. Not-Quite-Right, the last man a woman dates before she finds her real Prince Charming. It should bother him, but it doesn't. So when his childhood best friend comes running home for protection, Dean has no problem stepping in.

Except when Dean offered to fake marry Laurie, he never expected the wedding kiss to feel so sweet, and he begins to question the sexuality he once took for granted. From an awkward wedding night to an even more awkward honeymoon, Dean and Laurie find their affection runs deeper than either of them ever guessed. And maybe now is Dean's chance to be somebody's Mr. Right.

This audiobook contains mpreg, adults adulting in fun and sexy ways, and probably more potty-mouth language than should be used in an audiobook with kids underfoot. Eighteen-plus listeners only please.

Friends to lovers

Susi Hawke is a very new author to me. I have always enjoyed listening to MM romances and this did not disappoint. The format was a bit different. This book read as a diary rather then a book. I felt as though this was Laurie and Dean's personal thoughts and feelings. I felt as though I was intruding on a love story. I know when an author makes you feel a though you are part of the story it makes you feel like you are committed to what is going on with the couple. I love the narrator and I hope that he is going to continuing narrating this series.

This is story had cute kids, family drama, and just craziness. This is a great story and I hope that this series gets better.

Great Friends To Lovers

This is a wonderfully sweet friends to lovers story. Laurie and Dean are wonderful together and their connection and love are undeniable. What started as a fake marriage to help Laurie and his kids turns into so much more. I love how Dean takes on Laurie's kids as his own without a second thought. It was great seeing the relationship of not only Laurie and Dean, but also all of the kids, grow throughout the story. It's a really cute and loving story that should not be missed.
The narrator did a great job with all of the different character voices.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Absolutely Wonderful!🤗

As I have stated before in my previous reviews, Susi Hawkes is a master author. She is phenomenal in her writing, imagination, creating her characters, and storylines. Laurie and Dean's story was wonderful. Their story was the true meaning of marrying your bestfriend. Drew Bacca did a superb job in his narration and bringing each characters life.👍I cant wait to listen to the next book. I highly recommend this☝️ book.

Sweet friends-to-lovers fake marriage story

Laurie is a father of 3 children when his husband is killed in a car accident. We find out that there were many problems with their marriage, and his mother-in-law is atrocious! I had so much anxiety reading the beginning of this book because this woman was so evil. I was worried about angst level potential with her, but thankfully it wasn't that bad (of course, not for lack of her trying lol). Laurie goes back to his hometown after the funeral to escape the threat of the MIL threatening to take his children away. His childhood best friend is still there, and it is like they had never been apart. Dean is a calm, loving, and supportive friend. When push comes to shove, he offers to marry Laurie as a way to keep custody of his kids. As time moves forward, however, he finds that his love for his friend can translate to a complete real marriage, not just friendship only feelings. It took a little while for Dean to realize it all, but when he did, they were very sweet together. I loved Dean with the kids, and Laurie was an awesome father.

I loved all of the secondary characters (other than the ones we are supposed to hate because they are evil). The brothers and grandparents were awesome. I'm looking forward to reading/listening to more from this family. The narration was very well done.

Loved it!!!

I loved this book so much. The narration was awesome, the story was awesome. I loved listening to it, and I can’t wait to listen to more by Drew and read/listen to more from Susi.

Better when it is told to you!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book but listening to it was so much better! I got to enjoy the emotion and the voices made it all the better!

A Wonderful Listen

This is the first book in The MacIntoch Meadows Series. This is for the audiobook version. A delightful book the writing was good. The plot was entertaining and it was steady throughout the book. I found the story and characters wonderful. The characters were developed and thought out. Laurie Adams is an Omega and Dean MacIntosh is an Alpha and they are the MC’s of this book. I loved the humor of this book it had me out loud laughing which doesn’t happen often. There was humor, Alphas, Omegas, kids, nasty in-laws, a farm, betrayal, a messy truck, party games, family and so much more in this book.

I am picky about narration and unfortunately this narration was average for me. Having said that it did have the 2 most important qualities for a narration. 1 there were different voices for each of the characters. And 2 it wasn’t monotone, I even suspect that it is due to the narration that had me laughing out loud in a couple of places. So, it was worth listening too. I can recommend this book as a good read and listen. I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book for an honest review.
