The rest of the stories

This bundle picks up where the first one left off, and although you could listen to each book on its own, you'll get a much better flavor of the characters if you listen to them all from the beginning. This bundle has more strong and studly Alphas, more snarky omegas, more action and explosions, and of course more babies. I love the humorous and occasionally biting exchanges between Team members and between fated mates. I especially love the added epilogues.

The narration is good. Great voicing of the action and excitement.

I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

More amazing adventures...

This second bundle, included the last 3 books in the series and more amazing epilogues. Fated mates, hot scenes and babies in the middle of new missions full of action and danger made this audio book another must have. Mr Darcy once more makes a wonderful job narrating the books bringing the characters alive. I enjoyed greatly from the first word to the last. His outstanding performance allowed me hours and hours of funny drama and action packed adventures. Even the most difficult topics were managed expertly by this two great authors. Simply WOW!!

Amazing

I absolutely love Team A.L.P.H.A. and getting to listen to all their stories in one (well two) place(s) is awesome! There is such diversity in the characters And their stories, it really allows for a rich reading experience. We get action, fated mates and of course lots of babies, all set in the background of a rich and vibrant city. I love how the stories continue to build on the previous one, digging deeper and deeper into the omega trafficking ring. I was so excited to get to Jonah’s story as you can’t help but love him. I loved getting to see him go “Alpha” and do everything he could for his mate, including adopting an adorable, unlikely pet. I particularly enjoyed the building of a new team in the last book, and the start of their stories.
The narration by Colin Darcy is outstanding. He does an amazing job giving these men a voice and bringing their stories to life!

Wonderful

This is wonderful bundle of stories that I really enjoyed and got drawn into the world following the Alphas as they banter with their family while they find their mates. The narrator did a brilliant jobs with all the different characters and making them all stand out.

Loved it

This was such a great collection of audiobooks.
I really enjoyed listening to this series.
It will definitely be a series I listen to over and over again.

Great continuation

Back with Team A. L. P. H. A.
Action, drama, side splitting humor.
Mysteries solved and unresolved issues cleared up.

Great Value

Susi Hawke and Crista Crown created a nice series and Colin Darcy did a nice job with the narration.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

The action continues

Plot threads left hanging from the first bundle are now being tied up in this second series bundle. Listening to this second volume before the first would be ok, the relationships built are completely absorbing all on their own, but there is an enormous amout of back story to the events in this bundle you will miss if you listen out of order. The series reminds me very much of the Thirds series by Charlie Cochet in terms of setting up a military style group of shifters to deal with problems outside normal channels, but Hawke and Crown put their own unique spin on it just as they did with the Alphabits series. Colin Darcy continues to be the perfect narrator to capture both the action scenes and the emotional/relationship building scenes. Look forward to more work from both authors and this narrator/performer.

Really liked all these stories!

Overall: 4 Stars

5 ~ Stolen

Cain and Ezra

4.5 Stars

Okay, so I hadn't listened to this story before now, mostly because Ezra and his twin Zeke were my least favorite of all the guys. However, Susi and Crista did a great job at redeeming both of them in my eyes and I ended up really liking how protective and sweet Ezra was to Cain, while still respecting Cain's independence, even if he still messed up every once in a while. And Cain, despite having worked with a cartel as a hitman, proved to be a great addition to the team and I just adored how well he adapted to the group. 

I loved that the guys were willing to work with STAHP for the greater good and seeing Antonio for the first time and of course, that we got back to seeing more action in this installment. It's great seeing the team work together. 

I think this was pretty much my favorite story in both bundles. It was fantastic!

6 ~ Hidden

Jonah and Matthew

4 Stars!

Hidden is book 6 in Team A.L.P.H.A. series and I guess it could be read/listened to as sort of a standalone if you're at least familiar with the series concept. I have listened to most of the Alphabits books, which is a spin-off series from this one, so I had an inkling of what I was getting into, still, I think it might have been a lot easier to get into the story if I'd known at least Jonah from before.

I found Jonah and Matthew to be very likable. While the whole 'mates' concept means that they'll have an instant attraction and connection between them, I loved that they both were willing to make things work by talking. They were complete opposites so that made it difficult to find common ground on certain issues, but they made the effort and I appreciated that.

While I've enjoyed other books narrated by Colin Darcy, this one fell a bit off its mark for me. I didn't care for the voice he used for Jonah and some of the other Alphas, like Ezra. They kind of grated on my nerves and diminished my overall enjoyment of the audiobook. Plus, I felt like the narration wasn't as smooth as all the others I've heard by him, but that might just be me, so pick it up and try it yourself.

7 ~ Decked

4 Stars

Decked is book 7 in the Team A.L.P.H.A series and you need to have read at least some of the previous books or have an idea of what the series is about. I've read a couple of these books and all of the Alphabits series, so I had an idea of what I was getting into.

Ever since I listened to Rescued (Alphabits book 1), I'd been intrigued over how Sam and Dean got together and learning more about Papa P and Ray's story. It was hot and fun and just perfect for the holiday season.

Colin Darcy is a great narrator, but this book wasn't up to speed for me, so to speak. It was still enjoyable, but some of the POVs were in a slower than usual voice and it made the story drag in certain places, listening to it at a 1.5x speed made it a lot better, though.

~ Epilogues

Again, the epilogues were my favorite part of the bundle, other than book 5. John Solo did a fabulous job bringing these guys to life, especially since Colin Darcy had narrated the previous books. While not all the books or characters worked for me, I can't say that the books weren't entertaining, so I have no trouble recommending them. 

Really enjoyed the series and epilogues!

I had gotten some of the individual books previously, kept meaning to get the rest of the books but never got round to it. So glad for the bundles!
As mentioned in my review for the first bundle, this is a really good series in audio. The premise of the stories is of an elite team dedicated to rescuing unfortunates and bringing down unscrupulous people. Each team member meets their mate during the course of a mission. Lots of action, humour, great banter between the characters.
I enjoyed the narration - The bundle is definitely value for money, including the epilogues. I really loved Papa P's and Bossman's story :)
Definitely recommend!
