Chocolate Spiced Omega

The Hollydale Omegas, Book 5

By: Susi Hawke

Narrated by: Drew Bacca

Kent crumpled the lame flyer in his hand and looked across the street at the Salty Stix bakery and thought to himself...this is war.

Single father Pierre Duchamp has recently returned to Hollydale with plans to open Salty Stix, an authentic French bakery like the one he apprenticed at in Paris. The omega doesn’t have, need, or even want an alpha in his life - especially a provincial small town rube that doesn’t understand the concept of a little healthy competition.

Kent Hawkins doesn’t want drama. He just wants to spend his days making candy for Sweet Ballz - a place that is so much more than just a job, it’s his life. If only the thieving French baker across the street would quit revamping and one-upping Kent’s recipes.

A one-night stand gone wrong...two dessert loving men who can’t find a way to reduce their boil to a simmer...and a mysterious hippie who keeps accidentally making things worse while he blithely totes around his little harp. Celebrate Valentine’s Day in Hollydale - a sweet little town where strange things happen but your friends are always there to have your back.

This is the fifth audiobook of The Hollydale Omegas series. This audiobook is about 27,000 words and most likely contains an HEA. 18+ listeners only please! And yes, this audiobook contains M/PREG, adults adulting in sexy grown-up ways, and way more than an occasional use of potty mouth language.

Food fights and fun

Another cute installment in the Hollydale Omega series, this story runs the gamut of emotions from laughter to rage to love, with a healthy helping of humor along the way. Pierre and Kent are destined to meet, destined to fight, and destined to fall in love. The narration adds an extra touch of special to this story of two men who cannot seem to agree about anything outside of the wild chemistry that rocks them whenever they allow themselves to let go. The altercation that precipitates their reconciliation and eventual commitment to each other is simultaneously hilarious and hot as hell. And of course, that touch of the supernatural, present in each of the stories so far, adds extra magic to this one, even if the wielder of that magic is a bit awkward and keeps missing the mark, pun intended! If you don't mind the speedy move from one-night-stand-lovers to cautious neighbors to raging competitors to friends to true lovers and husbands, you'll enjoy this little romp immensely. Obviously, Drew Bacca's narration helped tremendously with my overall appreciation of this story. He did a great job, as he usually does, of making me "see" and "hear" these people.

Sweet and fun!

4 Stars!

Chocolate Spiced Omega was another fun and sweet installment in The Hollydale Omegas series. I suggest you read or listen to the previous books beforehand because there are a lot of recurring characters and frankly, they're easy, light reads that I'm pretty sure everyone can enjoy.

While I adored Kevin, it took me longer to warm up to Pierre and really, I wanted to bash his head in when he started the whole competition between their businesses. Never mind that I really couldn't get why Tom and Milo didn't take the time to reassure Kevin when they started siding up with Pierre about it all.

Still, as I said, the book is short and fun with just a dash of angst and Drew Bacca's narration was pretty good, as always. I loved that he even treated us to a bit of his singing voice and I definitely have no trouble recommending this or any of the previous books in the series!

Sweet and a little spicy

Kent reminds me of an overgrown puppy, in the best possible way!

He and Pierre are so adorable, and it's good to finally see him get a happy ending.

As always Hawke's writing style is fantastic, but once again, I just didn't connect with Bacca in this book as much as I did in Peppermint Spiced Omega. He's not bad, it's just something about his inflections in Kent's voice, although I found his Pierre very good.

Another Adorable Hollydale book!!!

Every time I listen to a new Hollydale book I have to rethink who my favorites are. This was another adorable addition to this series complete with a very snarky and headstrong omega, a determined alpha, and of course a magical friend that keeps interfering. These two cracked me up, especially when Kent confronted Pierre in his kitchen, I was laughing so hard at their antics and could actually picture the whole scene in my head. Susi Hawke definitely knows how to write cute stories that make you smile and warm your heart...bring on the next one. Drew Bacca's narration was excellent and made this story enjoyable to listen to. I highly recommend this entire series.

it is so good

you will love it too I think I would have to listen to it a gang it is so worth it you will not be disappointed

love love love ♡♡♡

Kent and Pierre meet and have an one night stand in Vegas - no names, no mention of where you live. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right?!

Not always! They both are now living in the same town and are business rivals.... oh and that one night stand left a small souvenir - surprise!


Susi Hawke has done it again. Definitely recommend. I love love love these characters and the story. It is hilarious, fun, sweet, sexy and just overall amazing.

Drew Bacca does the narration for this book. I love the voices of each character, makes their personalities shine and the stories comes to life, adding a great new layer to the enjoyment of the story.

I love this series.While characters are recurring, the books can still be stand alones. Everyone is so open and loving it would be nice if there was really was a hollydale.

Loved it!

This is a great addition to a wonderful series. This is a cute, fun, sexy read that I just loved. THe chemistry between Kent and Pierre is tangible. It's also great seeing some of my past favorites! Drew Bacca does an amazing job of bringing these guys to life!

Pierre and Kent were adorable together, and all the characters from other books made an impressive appearance in the story. Narrator did a great job giving voices to all the characters.
