When he suspects the lusciously curvy manager, Donna, is hiding the truth, Dean has no choice but to investigate on his own, unaware he is entering an underworld of danger and magic. Will the attraction building between Dean and Donna be extinguished before it has a chance to spark?

A hot read!

When a beautiful bear shifter and a sexy fireman come together, the holidays get ho ho hot!

Loved! Loved! Loved!

Short but amazing and incredible. Seriously amazing! Will devour anything by this author - so freaking sizzling and fantastic.

A wonderful journey - such a great, sizzling series.

The narrator was lovely. Great voice.

Narrator ruins this 2/3 into chapter 2

It was so nice and fun with all of the cute magic ideas and characters, before it hit the sex scene in chapter 2. After that it got cringingly bad. Then after the whole ahem stuff was over it went back to the previous narration (which is not very good). If I reread this, or any other narrated by Lusk, I will prob move to kindle and text-to-speech.

Nice story - terrible narrator

This book has a nice story but would have been so much better with a different narrator. I received this free copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Series goes out with a bang...or a burn...

Alpha's Christmas Flame is the final book in the series, but it can easily stand on its own. I really enjoyed all four books in the series, but this was my favorite. The two main characters, Dean and Donna fall in lust over a day of dealing with the challenges of working at a hotel with magical guests. Dean is a fire fighter assigned to inspection duties due to an injured back, and he meets Donna, a bear shifter, when he inspects the hotel at which she works. Donna tries to keep Dean from finding out about the magical nature of the hotel and the guests, and this leads to some pretty hilarious situations. Although the chemistry between the two is immediate and strong, they grow to deeply care about each other as they share much about their lives and personalities throughout this day of challenges.

Audrey Lusk does a good job with the narration. While I do not always enjoy her narration, I thought this was one of her better jobs. Her tone and emotion level were perfect for the story, and she did a good job of differentiating between the characters.

I received a copy of this audiobook at my request in exchange for this honest review.

Fantastical short love story !!

Relagated to fire inspection duty due to a back injury, Dean finds out about the magical world and the bear shifting woman who is his forever love.

great for the holiday mood

festive, cute, sexy, sweet and a bit funny. just in time for Christmas. love it

after this series I love bears even more

the series was incredible very interesting short stories I love them very much a very entertaining short books thumbs up for those books

Fun couple

Dean and Donna what a fun couple they are. Dean suffering from an injury has been sent to do the annual fire check at the ice hotel, where Donna is acting as manager whilst Ben and Sally are on holidays. But Dean goes for a wander and then finds himself trying to save a person from a fire. Let’s say it was an awesome happing ending. But I’m now curious about Lola I’d really love to know more about her.
Audrey did a great job with the narrating.

More fizzle than sizzle

The first 1.5 hrs of this played like a cozy paranormal mystery caper with bear shifter Donna going through hijinks to convince human fire inspector Dean that “these aren’t the droids you’re looking for”
as he attempts to determine the cause of a fire. It was mildly interesting and a little fun.

The last twenty minutes felt jarring as the cute story turned graphic and the couple gets it on, in three different scenes in quick succession. Well, that explains why it wasn’t a cartoon cover. I didn’t find the narrator’s male voicing to be very sexy. That, combined with sex that came out of nowhere, and the fact that Christmas barely signified made this a dud for me.
