Publisher's summary

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?

My Alpha

This was a really great addition to the Immortals of New Orleans series. Great storyline and a wonderful performance by the narrator. I can't wait for the next book in this series. Thanks for a great listen.

glad I listened but not my favorite

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.
