The full-length novels (Shiver, Shatter, Torch, and Devour) have an overarching plot, tying each one together while focusing on a central couple. The short story collections that follow each book do not include the main plot, but offer little normal life snippets for each of the couples. The second volume continues the adventures with Rowe, Ian, and the men they fall in love with, while also checking in on Lucas and Snow from the first volume.

Story
You belong to me and I know it down deep, in muscle and bone, where my wolf lives. Avery Rhine isn’t an average homicide detective with the Chicago PD. In fact, Avery isn’t an average anything. Sure, as an omega he knows he’s at the bottom of the food chain, but that’s never slowed him down. He’s got a great life, complete with a loving family and a best friend who’d take a bullet for him, so what more could he possibly want or need? Except, maybe, for the world to change.

It’s the middle of the night when Kathleen hears fighting coming from her neighbor Sheila’s apartment. As disturbing as that is, it’s the ominous sound of silence afterwards that keeps Kathleen from falling back to sleep. Slipping from bed with the intention of making sure everything is okay, Kathleen knocks on her friend’s door, only to find Sheila murdered, her naked body sprawled on sheets stained crimson with her blood. Shock and horror are followed by gritty determination when it becomes clear that Sheila’s death isn’t random and it isn’t the result of a jealous boyfriend.

The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

Lucas and Andrei
This is the first book in the Unbreakable Bonds series. 4 Men (Lucas, Snow, Rowe and Ian), made by their past and love and live as a family. In this first book, the story is told of Lucas and Andrei. Lucas is a self-made millionaire who made Cincinatti his town. When he starts purchasing buildings in a rundown part of town to make it better, things start to escalate when someone tries to kill him. His friend Rowe, who owns a security company, wants one of his employers to act as a bodyguard to Lucas. But as soon as Lucas and Andrei meet their attraction to each other is off the charts. Andrei is caring and soon breaks Lucas's walls down. But Lucas has problems with committing and expressing his feelings. When Andrei goes undercover to find the person who is trying to kill Lucas, he finds himself in a precarious position when his cover is blown. Lucas, Snow, Ian and Rowe do what they do best and rescue the man Lucas has realised he loves. When they find Andrei he is more dead than alive and Lucas will do everything to keep this man to his side and in his bed. It's a story full of angst, hurt and love, but not for those who seek an easy read. The amazing Kenneth Obi does a very goed job with all his different voices. It really sucks you into the story. I would truly recommend these books. The collaborative writing and the awsome narrating makes me want to listen to all the books in this series and than start again from the beginning.

Wow, what great chemistry!
Lucas, rich, powerful, controlling, aloof, only has eyes for his ex-military buddies. His life is threatened over a real estate holding by a mysterious enemy so he is assigned bodyguard, Andrei, who puts his life on the line for Lucas. I really loved this even though the relationship bordered on instalove. Both men had hard exteriors which slowly got chipped away, and all the main characters felt real. The developing relationship, the action scenes and the dialogue were well-written and it all kept me fascinated and engaged. I’ll definitely seek out more of this series! 🎧 I received a free copy of the audiobook in tribute to the late Kenneth Obi and I thought he excelled himself with this story - great voicing, pacing and expression!

I was already a fan of this series, the characters are fully rounded and so believable truly interesting. The plot is interesting and suspenseful against a background of a love story.
I felt that Ken really brought the characters to life, even the secondary character of Hollis who had a bad cold throughout this book and you could really hear it, the thick sound when you are congested. It blew me away that a narrator was able to so successfully pull that off.
An amazing book, amazing writers and amazing narrator, this book has it all

Give me more!
I'm late to this party I know... This book, or rather this series, has been on my TBR for a long time. But I never did manage to get to it. When I saw that the authors were starting to make their books into audios as well (well Kenneth Obi, deserves the credit for making the audio - but you know what I mean) I hoped that this series would also join that route. So, one day in late March I did a happy dance - or more of a jiggle since I don't dance - when I spotted this book on Audible. It seems that some wishes do come true.
Anyway… Lucas is a man with a lot of drive and plans. At least as far as business goes. He knows what he wants and where he’s going and nothing is going to stand in his way. But his latest procurement comes with a lot more danger than anticipated, so giving into his friends he reluctantly agrees to a bodyguard. Only he didn’t count on the attraction he’d feel towards Andrei and the temptation the Romanian man brings might just make his carefully constructed walls come crumbling down.
I quite enjoyed listening to this book. It was a great combination of a hot romance and thrilling suspense sprinkled with some great friendships, or rather – family. There were quite a few side characters to keep track of during this ride but I didn’t mind that, it added to this world and plot. It made me want to find out more, know their stories as well as Lucas and Andrei’s.
I would advise you though, don’t go into this book expecting a credible plot. At times it’s quite fantastic and utterly unbelievable. Many times I found myself questioning the actions of the characters, the incompetence of it all, wondering how they could still be alive. However, if you have your mind set to “entertainment” and don’t question anything, you might just have a great time.
Kenneth Obi captured me with his narration, the feelings he added to the different situations and characters really made the experience so much better. I also enjoyed that he had different voices for the various characters, it made it easier to follow who was speaking and keep track of them all. There’s only one things I wished to change; no mumbling. It made it hard to hear at times. Some characters mumbled more than others – and not as part of the book or plot, but purely on Obi’s part.
This was a good start to a new series, and I eagerly wait for the next instalment to be produced.
A copy of this book was generously provided by the authors in exchange for an honest review for Love Bytes.

Shiver has the 6 W's I look forward when listening to an audiobook.
W - World building created for this book is interesting , thrilling and layered.
W - Witty and snarky banter with an intriguing, common sense and unpredictable plot.
W - Writing style is offbeat and feels organic
W - Wisecracking , sexy , likeable and smart main and secondary characters.
W - Wickedly delicious , passionate and lava hot sexy times.
W - Wonderful narration and characters portrayal by Kenneth Obi.
Shiver is an entertaining and fun audio.
Shiver is book 1 of the Unbreakable Bonds Series and I am looking forward listening to the other books in it.
My only issue is with Amazon Audible and their Whispersync . It doesn't work most of the time. I bought audio version of Shiver then downloaded the ebook. I tried dozen times to do immerse reading/listening it never synced , that was annoying.

Love it!
I love this entire series but I think Lucas is probably my favorite character out of all of them so I was so excited to hear him come to life! I was not disappointed in the least. I’ve already relistened to it twice and I’m sure I will again. I love that this series isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. These men have darkness in their lives and real struggles to overcome. They are beautifully flawed and I love that about them.

What a difference a good narrator makes!!
Second time with this book. This time via audiobook with Kenneth Obi narrating. Wow!!! What a difference!! I really liked it the second time around. I’m not sure if I was in a crappy mood when I first read it or if Kenneth’s narration added MORE to the book. Either way, I enjoyed it MUCH MORE! Although the insta attraction was still there, it wasn’t insta love and it felt more believable. I’m upping to 3.7 stars!!
Original review:
OK.
To sum it up in one word: inconsistent. Sometimes I liked it, other times not so much. Some scenes were so long I got bored. Long fight scenes, long sex scenes. Others hit the other end of the spectrum.
Insta-attraction. Insta-GFY (or is it Bi-For-You?). The author seeemd to have a hard time with this one. It was hard to buy that over 4 days these MCs fell so hard for each other.
The plot was of the mystery sort, but rather flat and easy to predict.
I liked the interaction of the four friends. Will I continue on with this fabled series? Maybe. Some of the other characters interested me. But there are sooooo many other books on my TBR and even real stacks of books on my nightstand that will likely come before I continue on with this series.
Gotta give it up for a great cover, though!

Awesome Series
Love this book and series. Lucas has built a family of friends and doesn't let anyone else close. These guys are all amazing and would do anything for each other. When Lucas is facing threats his friends insist on a body guard, and he meets Andre. I love Andre he is an amazing character.
Kenneth Obi did an amazing job on the narration. His voice is always so smooth and his tempo is spot on. (I hate when a narrator talks too fast). He does great with the character voices. I can't wait till he gets the rest of the series on Audio.

wonderful
I forgotten how much I liked this book. Having it read to me while I was driving was a wonderful way to relax and shut my mind off after work. I smiled and laughed and was sad throughout the whole book. This is a wonderful audiobook. thank you.

Narration was terrible!!!
I’m not sure why Kenneth Obi narrates so many books. I just can’t handle his dialog character voices. I had to speed up the narration twice just to get through it. His narration is fine but he doesn’t get the nuance between two people in a conversation. I will be reading the rest of the series. Please there are so many other great narrators out there!!!!
