About this listen
More than anything, struggling tech support specialist Bradley Evans wants an alpha male lover. He thinks he's found his perfect match, but when his domineering stockbroker boyfriend goes too far, Bradley wonders if his flexible, mindful neighbor might be just what he needs.
Ward Linden teaches autistic middle schoolers and is sexy and kind; but he isn't quite the alpha Bradley's been looking for. Do nice guys always have to finish last?
Bradley explores what it means to be alpha male in this steamy, humor-laced gay romance. Due to its sexual content, this book is for adults only.

Story
Luc O'Donnell is tangentially - and reluctantly - famous. His rock-star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next 20 years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything. To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice normal relationship...and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and someone who has never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. He’s perfect boyfriend material.

He's arrogant. She's self-righteous. I hate him. I want her. I've been turning him down for two years straight. Every shutdown makes me work harder. I'm not a one-night stand kind of girl. She doesn't realize I won't settle for only one night. He's a distraction I don't need. She'll say yes eventually because I'm not giving up.

Story
My name is Sebastian Lindstrom, and I'm the villain of this story. I've decided to lay myself bare. To tell the truth for once in my hollow life, no matter how dark it gets. And I can assure you, it will get so dark that you'll find yourself feeling around the blackened corners of my mind, seeking a door handle that isn't there. Don't mistake this for a confession. I neither seek forgiveness nor would I accept it. My sins are my own. They keep me company. Instead, this is the true tale of how I found her, how I stole her, and how I lost her.

Story
After years of military service, Evan Miller wants a quiet life. The small town of Ravenswood seems perfect - until he stumbles upon a vicious web of lies with his new neighbor at its center. Ruth Kabbah is rude, awkward, and - according to everyone in town - bad news. Thing is, no one will tell Evan why. Does she perform ritual sacrifices? Howl at the moon? Pour the milk before the tea? He has no clue. But he desperately wants to find out. The more Evan’s isolated, eccentric neighbor pushes him away, the more he wants her.

Sinclair Amadeus Sterling, a.k.a. Mr. Superior Jackass with a God complex. Who also happens to be my blackmailer...gulp. Tall, dark, gazillionaire growly pants. The first time I met him, I kneed him in his very well endowed balls - don't ask! He had that tightly leashed, controlling air and a smoldering glare that made me damp in seconds. The only thing that sucks worse than his attitude is his (lack of) sense of humor! Honest. Sadly, he's also the one who could save my business from going bust. Hell!

He’s the last person I want to work for - except he has a face I can’t look away from, and the longer we’re together, the harder he is to hate. Because under that smug exterior is a heart he doesn’t want to show - one that was badly broken a decade earlier. A part of me wants to fix it for him before I leave…but can I do it without breaking my own in the process?

We met in the least likely of places. It started out innocently enough. I was “ScreenGod”, and she was “Montana”, but of course those weren’t our actual names, just the virtual cloaks we hid behind. Logging in at night and talking to her was my escape - my sanctuary. Her real name was Eden, I’d soon come to find out. From the first time we connected online, I found myself transfixed. She was an addiction. At first, we knew nothing about each other’s real identities...and she was adamant that we keep things that way.

Sweet, sexy, and engaging
Zen Alpha is perfectly titled. Ward is about as zen as it gets. The story starts off a bit slow as Ward and Bradley meet and get to know each other, but it does pick up and even those slower parts of the story are interesting. Bradley is something of a contradiction - high-strung and quick to lose his cool in most things, but timid and submissive in relationships. Ward is calm and easy-going, even when he's taking charge, so these two make for quite the pair when they do finally admit their attraction. And once they do come together, it is nothing short of scorching hot. There is some angst and Bradley gets a much needed eye-opener by way of tragedy, but there is also humor and sweetness between this sexy duo. Hugh Bradley does a wonderful job with the narration, making this one an entertaining and enjoyable listen.

A fast listen, but great characters!
This is the first book from Sionnach Wintergreen and I was impressed by the characters, especially Ward.
All Bradley wants is an Alpha to love him and take care of him, and he thinks he finds his perfect alpha in Jackson. And while I enjoyed getting to know Bradley and Ward, Ms. Wintergreen also writes believable villains as well. Jackson is a horrible, emotional manipulative alpha who treats Bradley horribly. You can see the abuse and the control Jackson has over Bradley because when Bradley meets Ward and Ward explains that alphas, true alphas, are nothing like Jackson, he thinks his relationship with Jackson is perfect. As Bradley truly realizes that the image of a perfect alpha in his head needs to be changed, he realizes that Ward might not be his perfect ideation and his vision of what is perfect needs to change. And Bradley's mother is a...well, bitch. I couldn't stand her and in the end, I'm happy that Bradley realized what he needed in life.

First by this author
and I was not disappointed at all. The story aggravated me when Jackson was lauded to be the perfect alpha. Ward was obviously perfect for Bradley, he built him up instead of breaking him down. The story made me smile when Ward and Bradley finally got together, I wanted that to happen as soon as I met Ward. The story irritated me again when Jackson makes another appearance at the worst time ever. The story made me cry when Bradley text and called Ward to find out he had been shot. All these things make for an amazing story. If an author can make me feel an array of emotions the author becomes one of my 1-click authors.

Sweet romance
This is a sweet m/m romance that I enjoyed watching grow and develop. I liked that Bradley learned what a true alpha really is and not a fantasized idol version of an alpha. Ward was sweet and patient with Bradley, and they made the perfect fit. Jackson (ex) was a selfish narcissistic peacock without substance. Bradley's mom was a waste of time and space and was a materialistic unsupportive, superficial vessel.

Sweet & Quick Listen
A sweet and quick story with engaging characters and a good storyline. At times I wanted to hit Bradley because of his total obsession with alphas to the point that he couldn't see the perfect man for him right in front of him! Ward is a wonderful person who doesn't need to show off to prove that he's an alpha. He's confident, caring, loving, and a truly all around good person, if only Bradley could get his head out of the clouds! I totally hated Bradley's mother but at least his father is great and loving. The narrator did a good job with the characters and the story overall, although at times it almost sounded like there was an echo. But it did not detract from the story and it is an overall good listen.

Sweet Story, Hugh Bradley is Perfect For This One
Absolutely charming, and not at all what I was expecting, Sionnach Wintergreen has pleasantly surprised me with Zen Alpha. Don’t let the title fool you, there’s no shapeshifter in this one, and the focus isn’t on yoga or meditation either. Zen Alpha is a sweet story about a young man coming into his own and learning what real love is all about.
This book is centered around Bradley, a naive young man who is just beginning to understand his emotional and sexual needs. Believing he wants an “Alpha” male to fulfill him, Bradley mistakenly thinks loud, boorish, self-centered men are the way to get what he needs. Growing up with a bully for a mother, it’s no surprise that Bradley is used to being treated poorly, and associates that kind of attention with affection and love.
Sorry to say Bradley believes he’s found his dream alpha man in his boyfriend, Jackson. Jackson is gorgeous, rich, and totally built, so Bradley can deal with the fact he’s also neglectful and mean, and a very selfish lover. Add on Jackson’s criticisms and emotionally abusive taunts, well that’s just part of being with an alpha guy, right?
When Bradley meets his neighbor Ward, he’s immediately attracted, but dismisses him because of his bland appearance and mellow manner. When they start to spend some time together, Bradley gets a taste of what being with a decent, supportive guy can do for his sense of self worth, and he likes it. It takes some soul searching, and a bit of growing up, but Bradley comes to realize it’s what’s inside a person that counts.
The narrator, Hugh Bradley, is new to me. His calm and mellow tone works with Ward and Bradley’s characters, and he does a wonderful job with the judgmental, overbearing mother. I love the Texas twang he uses for her, and he adds something special to all the supporting characters.
Zen Alpha is a sweet romance with a wonderful message. I enjoyed watching Bradley grow and change over the course of the story, seeing how he figures it all out. Understanding that appearances and labels are just what’s on the outside. Ward’s message that, “‘Love means accepting someone for who they are,’” is one that Bradley can take to heart.

3.5 stars
Sometimes what you really need and want in life is in the least expected package. That's what Bradley Evans discovered in Zen Alpha by Sionnach Wintergreen. This is an audiobook, so this review is going to be broken down into different sections.
Story - 3.5 stars
I liked the story, but it was short and I think that there were times that the story was rushed or not completely developed. I wanted there to be more, but not more of Bradley and his back and forth. Honestly, I wanted to slap him a time or two. And his ex-boyfriend, I understand why he was needed in the story, however, there was one part that I thought could be removed. That's just me though. But Ward...I loved him and his patience. I think he was more developed than Bradley and quite honestly, he made the story. I'll give the story 3.5 stars.
Narration - 3
This one was hard for me. The beginning sounded like it was recorded in the bathroom using a cell phone. It made some parts hard to understand. After a while, the recording either got better or I got used to the quality and I could understand everything that was said. The reason that I didn't rate this lower is that Hugh Bradley did bring the characters to life and you were able to differentiate between the characters. Narration gets 3 stars.
Overall - 3.5 stars
I'm going to give this whole audiobook 3.5 stars. The story was enjoyable, but rushed. The narration had some issues, but once you got passed those, it worked for the story. It's a short listen for anyone that wants a quick read or something that can be listened to in one or two sittings.

Nice and sweet
This was both a new author and narrator. I liked the story. It had good pacing and I thought it was sweet yet steamy. I though the narrator was a little lacking in some places but I would most likely listen to another book he does. I will most definitely be getting more books by Sionnach
