Publisher's summary

Lost. Stolen. Forgotten…until the Alphabits step in.

A Team A.L.P.H.A. spinoff series.

Six years ago, Lance Lancaster (no, his parents hadn’t hated him - they were just that snooty) lost the only member of his family who cared about him - his six-year old autistic half-brother, Spencer Maximillian. He’s certain the anti-shifter group protesting outside of Spencer’s school is to blame, but no one has made any progress on the case, and he’s certain everyone has given up.

Until Oswald “Ozzy” Ryder and the Alphabits pick up the cold case. Ozzy swaggered into the Maximillian mansion expecting business as usual. He didn’t expect to find a handful of adorably too-big-eared fennec fox with a scent that screamed mate!

With Lance’s obsessive data collection and the Alphabits’ know-how, Lance begins to feel hope he might see his brother again. But things aren’t what they appeared, and it takes the insight of a new team member to put the team on the right track…and hope they’re not too late.

The Alphabits aren’t vigilantes. These former soldiers and officers of the law have to do things by the book - even when it tears them apart to do so. But once all their ducks are in a row, the bad guys had better beware! You do not want this team of protective alphas on your tail.

This is the fourth in the Alphabits series, and should be heard in order for maximum enjoyment. You can expect to find naughty, knotty scenes of steamy passion, along with a lot of potty-mouth language and some violence. The team is growing, along with the complexity of their cases. Get ready for another sweet listen that will keep you on the edge of your seat. HEA definitely included, intended for 18+ listeners only. Seriously, would you expect anything less from Susi Hawke and Crista Crown?

By turns sweet and funny

I did a lot of laughing in this story of an alpha, Oswald "Ozzie" Ryder, and omega Lance Lancaster, who might not otherwise have met if the cold case of Spencer Maximillian's kidnapping hadn't been chosen for the Alphabits team to work on. And even though the investigation and recovery of the victim eight years after his kidnapping takes up a lot of the first half of the book, the story is more rom-com than romantic suspense, especially when the perpetrator and the other members of his group of predators are all "taken care of" by a vigilante group of shifter felines. The story is sweet for the love that Lance has for his younger half-brother Spencer who is autistic and whose parents are the only ones in his household who didn't truly care for him. Of course, it also wins points for the relationship between Lance and Ozzie, with Lance being the elegant and wealthy omega who loves his sometimes socially awkward alpha, Ozzie. The contrasting relationship between Spence and Lance -- once Spence comes back from his catatonic state -- and between Ozzie and his fraternal twin Patton is well played out, as is the contrast between Lance and Ozzie. And the dramatic moments, as for example, the baby shower that wasn't -- planned to be a disaster by the lovers and helped along by a bumbling alpha whom Lance's parents had hoped to marry him off to -- and the birth of Lance's and Ozzie's twins -- an unexpected blessing -- add great texture to the tale. The narrator does a good job of differentiating the characters, giving most life to Spencer, Lance, and Ozzie.

Great continuation of this series

I really enjoy this series. We have the story of Spencer who was kidnapped from his school when he was just a little boy. He is also a high functioning autistic little boy who is loved by his older half brother Lance. They are both Fennec Foxes, which are so very cute. When the Alphabits decide to investigate this cold case, Ozzy runs into his fated mate and the sparks fly. I hated Lance’s mother and step father. They were both pieces of worthless excuses of parents. Lance has an inheritance from his bio dad and his step dad is trying to get his hands in because he doesn’t believe an omega is capable of handling things on his own. Spencer is the heir but his parents see him as broken and not worthy of his legacy. When Spencer is found, the reason for his being taken is sickening and what was done to him even more. And as it turns out, there are a group of men with the same ideology as the kidnapper. When Spencer is finally rescued, his parents don’t even bat and eye. Good thing that he has Lance to love and take care of him. We get to see Lance and Ozzy come together as a loving family.

Great Series

I received an ARC of this audio for my honest review. This series just keeps getting better. This book has Ozzy finding his true mate Lance. They locate Lance's missing brother Spencer after he's been missing for 6 years. Lance and Ozzy decide to have Spencer live with them instead of going back home to his parents. This series really keeps you motivated not to stop listening to the audio. Once again John Solo does a great job.

F,un, sweet, and Hilarious

Chained is the fourth book in the Alphabits series by Susi Hawke and Crista Crown. It is Fun, hilarious, sweet... these characters are great. I love the family feel of the team and all the supporting characters. They are a big, loving, family that love hard, protect fiercely and prank hilariously. Lance and Ozzy are fun, sweet and sexy. I loved them. Great addition to series!

John Solo's narration of this title is spot on. Tge voice work brings out the perso alities and matches the characters amazingly. Clear recording that flows smoothly. Great job!

Great story

This was such a good book. Lance loves his kid brother and won’t give up trying to find him. Fortunately, his newly-discovered mate has the means to help locate him. I appreciate that Susi included a shifter on the spectrum as there aren’t enough books that are able to do such a good job of describing some of the nuances that are different with everyone.

I really love how Ozzy steps up and becomes the best big brother-in-law. It’s touching to see so many macho men become family men while helping others in need.

These books are such a great addition to Susi’s collection and John really does a splendid job with the narration.

ALPHABITS keeps on going Strong!

Six years ago, when Lance's 6-year old autistic half brother Spencer was taken from the school, he lost his only truly close family member. All these years, he hasn't forgotten the anti-shifter group that he believes is responsible for Spencer's disappearance nor has he given up all hope that he will eventually be reunited with his little brother one day.
Ozzy and the Alphabits end up picking up Spencer's cold case and go to Spencer's home to speak with his parents. The last thing Ozzy expects to find when there is his fated mate in Spencer's brother, the fennec fox shifter Lance. But when Lance and Ozzy team up and work together to find Spencer, they are closer than ever!
This book is another one that truly fits with the Team ALPHA/Alphabits series! It's got your fated mates, some action, some heat and of course some laughs! There are less of the appearance of Team ALPHA in this book than in the previous one, which is a bummer, but Lance's adorable fennec fox more than makes up for it.
John Solo did another amazing job with this book! He truly brings these characters to life and allows for a more vivid picture with his words. I can't wait for the next book!!

I love you more than cake.

Fun, sweet and cute.

I really liked Lance and Ozzy but I think Spencer stole my heart. Spenser is just a great character and I really felt for him. There were several emotional scenes that were touching.

I have to say I didn’t expect the kidnapper to be who they were and to be so crazy. It was a nice little twist.

John Solo did a good job. He was clear to understand and the emotional parts were done well.
