Publisher's summary

JACK

My life ended when I was 16. Not literally - I’m no ghost, I just feel like one. It's a byproduct of losing your pack to a plague that skips you by like you’re not worth the effort. Chose all the good ones and you’re what was left behind. Survivor’s guilt, people call it. I just call it like I see it.

I do a decent job of going through the motions. I’ve got a good reputation as an alpha, and everyone loves to joke about the only vegan alpha in North America. Some days even I’m convinced that this is it. As good as it gets.

Then Dylan Kapernit walks into my shop and blows that theory to hell.

It's like everything was gray and now there’s technicolor. He pops, no matter what corner he tries to hide in. Like my eye can’t help but be drawn to him, just to make sure he’s alright.

There’s something about this widowed father that brings my protective alpha instincts surging to the surface. In ways I’ve forgotten how to handle.

So of course my efforts to make things better only make it all worse. Put Dylan, his whole family in danger. For a second, I forgot about the curse of being me.

But I won’t forget again. And I’ll do whatever it takes to make it right.

To make sure nothing ever threatens the man I love again. Even once I’m gone.

DYLAN

After my mate died, I was sure I would never love again. But I’ve got a track record of being wrong about everything.

I thought Micah and I would grow old together. That one stupid mistake couldn’t destroy my whole world. That I could be enough for my daughter, that I could make up for my past sins. I thought I was doing okay.

I don’t know what I believe in anymore, but I know its not myself. Which is why I can’t tell if Jack Hickam is my redemption or my punishment.

One moment he’s everything I thought I’d never have again, and the next he’s my new greatest mistake, bringing unimaginable danger to my door. My daughter’s door.

Only now it seems I was wrong again, that I turned my back on the one man who just wanted to have it. I don’t know if I’m too late to fix things. I always have been before.

All I know is I still have to try.

This 50,000 word novel about vegan alphas, mpreg, and life after loss comes complete with a HEA no one’s immune to - as long as they’re over 18!

From Skeptic to Fan

I'll admit, when I started this, I was pretty convinced I wouldn't like it. The first chapter or so feels a little slow, but once Jack meets Dylan, all bets are off. Pretty much immediately after that is where the story really picks up in both writing style and rhythm.

The chemistry of these two is some of the best I've seen in a while, and the narrator is able to balance their personalities wonderfully.

This is the first book I've read/listened to from either of these authors, and I have a feeling it won't be my last!

alpha omega chemistry loss love baby

I immediately loved Dylan. He was a kind, loving, strong, single-father with at grieving heart, loving family, and an intensity he didn't even know he possessed. At least that was until he needed it.

Jack well let me see. What did I like most about him beside the sacrifice he was willing to make. He was guarded in a since and he was vegan. That was one of the stranger things about him. He was conscious but not typical. He was strong, but not overpowering. He was himself.

I did enjoy this short step in to the world of mm romance and alpha and omega's.

Jack Calihan did a good job providing the contrast of two strong male in their own right and allowing you to visually see the difference like a movie in your head. The audio was clear, clean, and the quality was good.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Audiobookworm Promotions on behalf of various authors, narrators, and publishers. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

Great!

This is a great story that I was quickly drawn into. Jack and Dylan are characters that pulled on my heartstrings. I enjoyed following along as they discovered each other and forged a relationship. I thought the narrator did an outstanding job of bringing these characters to life. Each character was given a distinct voice making it easy to follow along and know who was speaking. I laughed, cried, was on the edge of my seat in anticipation, and so much more. This is an enjoyable story worth listening to.

WHO IS THE OMEGA?

DRAWN TO YOU is a stand-alone Mpreg shifter romance about finding life again after unimaginable loss.

Both Dylan and Jack have endured tragic loss, and yet their lives couldn’t be more dissimilar. When chance brings them together, there is no denying the attraction between the two very different artists. I loved that they weren’t coy one another.

Dylan’s family and Jack’s small pack are each amazing in their own ways and I would love to find out more about them all. This could easily be expanded into a series by choosing a direction and putting furry feet to the ground.

I didn’t like that Jack, as an alpha, acted more like an Omega when it came to his health and the health of those around him. Major jerk points to him! Still, I understand the reason for it in relation to creating a story. Sometimes an author must be cruel to produce a work worth reading. Ripping our guts out in order to construct a masterpiece of beauty … or at least cuteness and reward.

This is the first book I have read from either of these authors. I hope it won’t be my last. They provide humor, love, sexy, family, and community in a wonderfully, deep and moving story.

Favorite line: Jack: “For the record, you’re all missing out. I could be bringing you the best hummus in Seattle thirty minutes from now.” “The thing is,” said Mark. “The best hummus in Seattle is still hummus.”

Note: I love hummus, but this had me giggling for a long time. This is exactly how my friends yank on each other and I loved it.

Narration: Jack Calihan has a rich baritone voice with a steady cadence, clarity, and good pronunciation. He is easy to listen to and I would definite pick up another book if he were the reader. It must have been fun for him to be reading a character with his own first name!

There were a couple of production errors – overlaps and drags. These should have been caught and corrected before release. There was also one instance where Adam was called Avery, and I don’t know if that was a written error or a blooper that wasn’t caught.

Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via audiobookwormpromotions, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Awesome love story!

Dylan and Jack both have tragedies in their pasts that still haunt them now. Both are not looking for love until they meet and there is an instant attraction. Jack's one hidden secret can tear them apart. This is the first time I have listened to a book by these authors and narrator. I am very impressed. The authors created characters that have strong and loving personalities. I know I was cheering them on, grieving with them, laughing, loving their protection of family and mates, and feeling the sexual attraction and love between them. With the authors' words and the amazing narration I felt I was part of the story. That narrator definitely captured the personalities of the characters.I volunteered to receive an Audible copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I highly recommend this Audible book.

cute mpreg story

This was a single dad romance and both these characters came from different worlds and both were carrying around horrible memories from their past. Both knew what it was like to carry grief and guilt from events that taken place in their past. I enjoyed this one. The story was well enough written to capture my attention.I enjoyed both charcters and their story. This was a quick read for me. Although the characters deal with heavy stuff this wasn't a heavy read but not super fluffy either and had just the right amount of steamy scenes.

so good

Drawn To You by Preston Walker and Liam Kingsley is the story of finding love after loss. About taking chances even when you think the cards are stacked against you. It is a powerful theme - finding love again, facing your fears - and this book tells its story well. I love how Jack and Dylan interact.. the sexiness, the sweetness and just the connection they have. Amazing story and characters.

Jack Calihan does a great job of bringing the story to life with narration. Very well done.

Well written Alpha and Omega

This is a well written story dealing with past loss and learning to live again despite it. Dylan is a strong Omega who has lost his mate but still has his beautiful little girl Josie to take care and a business to run. I loved that he was shown to be able to take care of himself and not actually need a new Alpha in his life, rather he makes his own choice to want a new Alpha in his life and takes the steps needed to make that happen. Jack has his own past hurts he is dealing with but I was very disappointed in his actions, or should I say his lack of, when they first get together since he could have avoided the biggest problem in the book....that being said I can also see his viewpoint and why he was fearful and torn on what to do. These two authors do an excellent job each time they write together and this was no exception. As with any book that has angst in it I can always see from the outside how things could have been done differently but we all know that when you are personally in a situation it is completely different than looking from the outside in. The narrator did a great job with this book but did an amazing job with Jack's voice, I absolutely loved it when it was Jack's turn to talk. It was easy to differentiate between all of the characters which is very important in an audible book.

Draws you in from page one

The collaboration by these two Authors has given us a book that is a phenol listening experience! We have the heart felt tremendous loss of the pack, Then the loneliness as Jack meanders through his daily routines in the Tattoo Shop. When in walks Dylan and Jack see's bright lights, stars, and his heart flutters for the first time ever. Maybe...just maybe... This is a wonderfully written love story, dealing with tremendous loss of family and pack,... loss of lover.... Finding new family.... This book was a truly wonderful listening experience. While the narration by Mr. Calihan made for a much more enjoyable experience. An avid listener/reader in Rock Tavern, NY.
