Awakening (Wild Oak Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 248 ratings

A prophecy, a True Alpha, and fated mates. Can Ascha accept that his life has changed forever?

At twenty-one, Ascha Stanton has it all: a wonderful family, great friends, a long-term girlfriend, and a promising career as an NFL star.

The appearance of three unknown men in his small town changes everything. Not only his life and future but also what he always thought himself to be: straight. Why then is he attracted to the handsome auburn-haired Thaddeus? How can Ascha hear his thoughts? And even more intriguing, what does the mark on both their chests mean?

Thaddeus explains a new path has been paved for him, one with the Wild Oak pack, who has been waiting for seventy years for the True Alpha to show himself and fulfill the prophecy.

Will Ascha accept that Thaddeus is the man he’s destined to be with, and will the rival pack accept him as their new leader?

Awakening is book one of an MM Wolf shifter series with elements of fantasy and mention of Mpreg. It includes some sweet loving, a lot of disbelief and more than a little snark.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

You will normally find JJ in the living room—typing away—with her dog, Siddiqi. As a hopeless romantic, she dives into her stories, always falling in love with her men, making sure they get the happy ever after they deserve, even if they do have to work hard for it.

As a bona fide bookaholic, a wine-drinking and swear-like-a-sailor type of girl, she has yet to work out how to act her age!! LOL. And she has no intentions of growing up or growing old gracefully.

JJ lives in a small, very quiet, village in Lincolnshire, UK, with her husband and dog, and spends all day dreaming up stories full of really hot men.

    I enjoyed this first book in the new and upcoming series. I am a very easy to please reader and I like all books. This is a great start to what can be an awesome series! I loved how Ascha acclimated to being the True Alpha quickly instead of dragging it out and his feelings for Thaddeus even though he has been straight his whole life and that he listened to his inner self and his wolf. I like the side characters and it opens it up to new additional pieces! I like how this was a fast paced read instead of it dragging out too much because then I usually start to lose interest and move on to a new book and I hate doing that.

    I am looking forward to more in this series! Excellent and fun fast paced read!!! I definitely recommend.

    This was a good read although this was very fast moving story with the usual Alpha finds his mate and it's instant love . Not a fan of that I get that this formula is popular but I like when there's some getting too know the mate first before they mate and have kid's . This is just the first book so I'm looking forward too how this plays out .

The awakening of Ascha as The One True Alpha and his meeting with Thaddeus as his Omega was exciting. Thaddeus was awesome. Everything that happens in this story is EPIC!!! I'm going to be pacing until the next book is due for release!! This is a hit!! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!!!

    This could have been so much better than it was. Sadly, this book fell into the trap of having an overly competent hero. Ascha could do no wrong and had no learning curve upon finding out that he's a shifter. Except for the curious fact that despite being super strong, super fast, and has all sorts of crazy abilities, a human coach can somehow prevent him from dropping out of school and going home... There was a lot in this book that didn't make sense, and I just had to shrug and figure it's like Wattpad logic.

    The larger plot for the series seems interesting, and I'll probably read more in this series as they come out.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoy this new paranormal/wolf shifter story!
    Reviewed in Italy on January 2, 2020
    This is my first MM paranormal/shifter romance and it was a long time since my last paranormal reading. That’s why at the beginning I found it “odd” and “unreal“… but it’s a fantasy paranormal romance!! So after I set my mind in the right “mood” I enjoyed the reading.

    I loved the prophecy story and the characters and the wolf shifting. What I still have to understand is the mpreg part; or better: my mind still has to get used to the idea. I loved the way Alpha and Omega can communicate with their minds. And all the banter between Caleb and Ascha made me smile more than once.

    The final left me curious about what will happen next, so I’m waiting to read the sequel.

    I know this is the first paranormal/fantasy written by this author and I think she has a good potential to write other engaging stories in the future.

    Reviewed in Germany on December 29, 2019
    Was war dieser erste Teil klasse. Super Geschichte, ich will da auch gar nichts verraten. Toll und auch spannend zu lesen. Nur schade, dass es jetzt vermutlich etwas dauern wird, bis der nächste Teil rauskommt. Wenn er aber auf dem selben Niveau ist, will ich mich da aber gerne noch bisschen gedulden.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Popped my paranormal cherry with this sweet, sexy read...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 4, 2019
    I've tried to read a few paranormal books before, but it's not really my thing. Having said that, I am a huge JJ Harper fan, so I wanted to give this a go. I'm so glad I did. This was an easy, sweet, sexy read plus there wasn't too much of the icky wolf stuff that has put me off before. I found that the wolf/shifter element actually complemented the developing relationship between the MCs. Ascha and Thaddeus are adorable together. As events unfold and Ascha discovers more of what he is capable of as an Alpha wolf, the story becomes much more engaging and exciting in parts. I'm really looking forward to the next book.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time or money on this.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 25, 2019
    I was looking forward to reading this book but it is awful. I should have known from the error in the blurb - 'Can accept Ascha that...' - that it might have issues but I liked the sound of it so tried it.
    It's the first paranormal book by this author and it's obvious she doesn't know what she's doing.
    The characters are flat, the writing, is trite and there is hardly any development. I cringed at some of the things the characters said.
    Avoid at all costs!
