Publisher's summary

Omega looking for alpha for...unusual request. Must be physically impressive. Please inquire for further details.

Christian Kelley is down on his luck - big time. After moving to Las Vegas in the hopes of becoming an entertainer, he’s been met with nothing but rejection, so when a friend suggests he sign up with Rent-a-Dom as a service provider, he’s eager to give it a shot. While more naturally submissive than dominant, Christian is sure he can pull off the act well enough...at least, until the founder of Rent-a-Dom himself contacts him with an unusual proposal, and his world turns upside down.

Monty Mills, the mysterious founder of Rent-a-Dom, has a problem he can’t fix. With Rent-a-Dom’s fifth year anniversary on the horizon, he sees potential for exposure like never before. The problem? He’ll risk Rent-a-Dom’s credibility if he shows his face in public. What he needs is a beard - someone who can make the world think he’s someone he’s not.

Someone like Christian Kelley.

Sparks fly when Monty and Christian meet, but with Monty’s business riding on their success, and Christian’s future hinged on this performance, love isn’t on the agenda. Is it?

This final installment in the Rent-a-Dom series contains mpreg, D/s elements, and is intended for 18+ listeners.

Warning: Don't listen unless you like fun books with mysterious and powerful omega Doms, bubble bath disasters, rugged, secretly pierced alphas who long to submit, and scenes that’ll make Vegas temperatures cool in comparison. But then again, this is a Susi Hawke and Piper Scott collaboration - you already knew to expect that, didn’t you?

Great Wrap up

I've been looking forward to Monty's story and it was everything I wanted and Christian made it even more. If you're familiar with Hawke and Scott you know this is a fun read/listen and Russo as usual brings it to life perfectly.

Great finale to the Rent-,a-Dom series

Founder of the Rent-a-Dom company, Monte Mills, finds himself in a difficult situation. The fifth anniversary of the foundation of the company is coming up, and there needs to be a celebration. However, he fears that if he, an Omega, shows up as the man in charge, the company will lose face.

Christian moved to Las Vegas hoping to become an entertainer. When that doesn't work out, his friend convinces him to apply at Rent-a-Dom. He gets his letter of hire, then a job offer immediately after the first email comes through.

Monte has decided that he is going to train Christian to be him, so that he, an Alpha Dom, can represent the company. However, when they start working together, it is immediately obvious that he is naturally submissive.

But, there is something about Christian that makes Monte feel again. He begins thinking about things besides work, and allows himself to enjoy things that are against his normal inclinations.

As time goes by, choices are made, and things go much better than Monte ever thought possible. And, of course, we get our HEA.

As always, Nick J. Russo did a great job with the narration.

Fantastic

Beard Wanted is the fourth and final book in the Rent-A-Dom series by Susi Hawke and Piper Scott. It is just as tantalizing and amazing as the previous books.

Omega and founder of Rent-A-Dom. Monty is in need of a strong and able Alpha to pose as him at an upcoming public event celebrating his company's fifth anniversary. Everyone expects a powerful Alpha to be at the head of such success and Monty plans to keep that farse up. When he sees an application filled out by aspiring actor Christian, he believes he has the perfect plan. And that is the beginning of his world tilting off its axis.

Christian and Monty are so flipping sexy together. The heat in this book may melt your kindle. It also has humor, sweet times between two beautiful men, a surprise pregnancy that flips the world for the characters and is the perfect closing to the wonderful series. I hate to say goodbye but can truly say this was a fantastic ride.

Nick J Russo narrates this audiobook and does a fantastic job. The characters and their personalities shone through. Great experience.

For reason, all his own Monty is in need of a strong and able Alpha to pose as him at an upcoming public event for his company.

When he sees an application filled out by aspiring actor Christian, he believes he has the perfect Man. So these two are forced to spend a lot of time together to Christian can learn to speak and act like Monty. These two are so amazing and sexy together.

Fourth and last book in the series

Although this is the final book in the series, you can listen to it as a standalone with no problem, at all.

So, about this book... I really, really liked Monty. He's a very interesting, very complex character, and Christian is a great fit for him, with all his optimism and spontaneity.

The story is on the short side, but stll manages a good balance between sweet and steamy, and you get to care about the MCs.

Nick J. Russo did a good job narrating.

All in all, an entertaining 'read'

Courage

I love the way these two blend together in a wonderful give and take. Each of them finds the courage to be their best self. It was also wonderful that being truthful did nothing but help the company.

as good as the ebook

The story is always 4 or 5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

Fantastic

I loved the Rent-A Series by Susi Hawke and Piper Scott. So much so, I've circled back for each of these in audio. As this was the final book in the series, I couldn't wait to listen. The narration of this series has been amazing, by really bringing these characters to life for me. This truly was a fantastic book in the Rent-A-Dom series! I really enjoyed Monty’s story after seeing bits of him throughout the series. Monty, the owner of Rent-A-Dom, has been faceless in the running of his successful company. He’s kept his identity secreted because he doesn’t think anyone would take a Dominant Omega seriously in this line of work. He decides to hire a Beard, Christian, to portray him. I loved the build up and chemistry between Monty and Christian - it was super hot. I could not recommend this book, and the series itself more!

Excellent ending to a wonderful series

The whole Rent a Dom series has been amazing. I love how each story is completely different. We finally get Monty’s story and it is super sexy and sweet. Christian is the perfect match for Monty. I can not recommend this series enough.

Nick J Russo did a good job bringing these men to life! Even though he doesn’t have a vast range of “voices” I always enjoy his narrations

Intense, hot, and sweet

Monty Mills and Christian Kelley begin their association for business reasons and end up pursuing it for personal pleasure. The need Monty wants Christian to fill requires them to spend increasingly more time together, which opens them each to love. The story is plausible, given the kind of business Monty runs and the expectations about what omegas can/should be doing. Christian's alpha persona is softer around the edges than one might expect; he's a big teddy bear who can be dominant when he needs to be. I can honestly say I didn't want this story to end. The performance was fine, with the actor making sufficient of a distinction between characters for me to know when each one was speaking. I only had two issues...one question at the end and one other problem. The question is why didn't Monty train Christian to do some of the work he needed help with, even if it was only to be his PA, at the same time as he was training him to take his place? The other problem is the BDSM element included at the end. I wasn't a fan of the slave/leash bit or the public nakedness. To me, it diminished Christian's importance in their relationship, belittled him, and made him inferior when he clearly wasn't. That's why I don't normally read BDSM because I react VERY negatively to slave/leash/humiliation scenes. I get why the writers felt the need to make it so, but I didn't like that it made Christian into a toy and nothing else. The public kiss was not enough to salvage it, either, as far as I was concerned since he still remained very naked and very chained.
