About this listen
Rise to Alpha
With Alpha blood coursing through his veins, charismatic wolf Jake Louvière can no longer deny his true nature. As his beast demands his rightful place within Acadian Wolves, he's forced to choose between killing his Alpha and leaving New Orleans forever. When a mysterious woman trespasses into the bayou, Jake is instinctively wary of the creature that is not wolf. Inexplicably drawn to her, he attempts to resist her magic as it weaves a seductive spell. As quickly as she appears, the dangerous beauty is kidnapped by a powerful New York vampire, and Jake swears retribution against an old adversary.
For centuries Kai Beckett concealed her true identity from those who would steal her ancient powers. Risking everything to save her sister, she searches for the Alpha who'd left San Diego to return to his Cajun roots. Jake, a mate worthy of her spirit, seeks to tame her wild nature, but she is not one to easily submit. As Kai surrenders to her attraction to the Alpha, she embraces her darkest fantasies.
From New Orleans to Southern California, Jake and Kai are surrounded by intrigue and danger. Learning to trust each other, they fight lethal enemies and the irresistible connection binding them together. As they spiral into an erotic adventure, will Jake acknowledge Kai as his mate? With a nefarious enemy seeking to capture her, will Jake rise to Alpha, saving both Kai and his pack?

Bree's intent on moving forward with her life and building a future with someone else. Sadly, the male she wants most is one she can never have - a hot-as-sin wolverine shifter who happens to be her boss...and the cousin of her predestined mate.

The stars have always called to Ailis, beckoning her to see what other realms were out there. She's told it's impossible, but that doesn't stop her need to explore beyond what others believe. Ailis never expected to change history by creating the first doorway to another realm. She certainly never imagined opening that door to find a commanding dragon who shifts into a man. She's irresistibly drawn to Lennox, powerless against the yearning of her body and the longing of her heart.

For most, a plane crash means the end of life. For Dusti Dawson, it's just the beginning...Dusti and her sister Batina survived the crash, thanks to a couple of brothers who are equal parts menacing and muscled. She'd be grateful...if they hadn't turned out to be delusional kidnappers, who believe Dusti's grandfather is some monstrous halfbreed creature bent on murder. Turns out Vampires, Lycans, and Gargoyles do exist - and they've been crossbreeding to form two hybrid races.

Story
For dinosaurs, it was a big rock. For humans: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). When the Earth is hit by the greatest CME in recorded history (several times larger than the Carrington Event of 1859), the combined societies of the planet's most developed nations struggle to adapt to a life thrust back into the Dark Ages. In the United States, the military scrambles to speed the nation's recovery on multiple fronts including putting down riots, establishing relief camps, delivering medical aid, and bringing communication and travel back on line. Just as a real foothold is established in retaking the skies (utilizing existing commercial aircraft supplemented by military resources and ground control systems), a mysterious virus takes hold of the population, spreading globally over the very flight routes that the survivors fought so hard to rebuild.

I have been enjoying the series. This book was my least favorite to date. Felt rushed and lacked the depth of others in the series. Hoping my new favorite vamps book is as great as Leopolds.

The Wild "Down For a Good Time Guy" Jake has met his match.....and Mate!
Love, Love,Loved it ! I'm so happy that I had to find a New Author (while waiting for next book from my usual😁) Kym Grosso had Me hooked from book 1 of "The Immortals of New Orleans" series. And the story of Jake, well that's been a long time coming and I'm so happy that She waited till now to tell his story! He has been a part of the Series in pretty much every book in some capacity. And to say this was the icing on the cake, wld b putting it mildly! Of course it wld take something as unattainable & Majestic as Kyi's "Peyo"(??), Along w her feisty attitude & willingness to explore Jakes taste in unbridled Sex & lovemaking, to bring out The Alpha he had been denying himSelf! And the story of Quintus has peaked My intrest,as before now, he was only said to be a very old Vampire but he is connected to Kyi somehow & once it's revealed how this Ancient Vampire, with all his oddities,is connected to this mysterious & Beautiful Creature things start to call in place & the 3 of them form an unbreakable bond that will change their lives forever! I love the style of Grosso's writing. She has gone beyond the plain old vanilla flavor of Lovemaking that has been in Romance books for many years!(not that those books were bad, just always left Me wanting a but more spice!) And there is a Great storyline,humor that had Me actually LOL, The Hell Yeah Sex & even Suspense& Action! This Whole Series of "Immortals of New Orleans" Thus Far has been Everything I look for in a series & an Author! And "Jake" ......a knock out of the ballpark! I am So Excited for the next book in this series! Can't Wait!!!!!!!😄(sidenote, I would recommend reading this series in order for which they were written. Not saying that you can't read & enjoy it alone. Just when you have read the books prior to "Jake" then you read it,You will have a better understanding of who Jake is and in My opinion, will enjoy the book that much more!) This is not a pg13 series!!Definitely An ADULT book! But pretty sure this fact is addressed in the area which you found these titles of books. Enjoy...I know I did.

Jake
Would you consider the audio edition of Jake to be better than the print version?
Oh yes!!! Ryan West just is such an awesome narrator. He just makes the book come alive
What other book might you compare Jake to and why?
Kym's whole series, they all build on each other.With Ryan reading he makes you feel that you are in the series.
Which scene was your favorite?
What scene???? There are so many... I loved when she just slightly changed and put the vampire in his place and feeding his fish is hand.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The outside timid figure does not show the deep strength within.
Any additional comments?
Kym's stories get better and better. With Ryan as the narrator, every book is a hit.

Wow! Such an amazing erotic romance.
This was by far her hottest book yet. So exciting, lots of angst & love. I at first thought Jake was going to be with the head witch & I was disappointed, but thank goodness for Kai. This female character was perfect for Jake. Can’t wait for more to be written in this series. Ryan West is such a remarkable narrator, the best I’ve ever listened too.
