About this listen

Audie Award Winner, Erotica, 2015

The first time it happened, it seemed like an impossible miracle. Bills were piling up, adding up to more money than I could ever make. Mom's hospital bills. My baby brother's tuition. My tuition. Rent. Electricity. All of it on my shoulders. And I had just lost my job. There was no hope, no money in my account, no work to be found. And then, just when I thought all hope was lost, I found an envelope in the mail. No return address. My name on the front, my address. Inside was a check, made out to me, in the amount of 10 thousand dollars. Enough to pay the bills and leave me some left over to live on until I found a job. Enough to let me focus on classes. There was no name on the check, just "VRI Inc.", and a post office box address for somewhere in the city. No hint of identity or reason for the check or anything. No mention of repayment, interest, nothing...except a single word, on the notes line: "You". Just those three letters.

If you received a mysterious check, for enough money to erase all your worries, would you cash it?

I did.

The next month, I received another check, again from VRI Incorporated. It too contained a single word: "belong."

A third check, the next month. This time, two words. Four letters. "To me."

The checks kept coming. The notes stopped. Ten thousand dollars, every month. A girl gets used to that, real quick. It let me pay the bills without going into debt. Let me keep my baby brother in school and Mom's hospice care paid for. How do you turn down what seems like free money, when you're desperate? You don't. I didn't.

And then, after a year, there was a knock on my door. A sleek black limousine sat on the curb in front of my house. A driver stood in front of me, and he spoke six words: "It's time to pay your debt."

Would you have gotten in?

I did.

It turns out $120,000 doesn't come free.

Simple and Supple

Not bad, nice pallet cleanser. Nothing revolutionary, but decent fun. I enjoyed the fantasy of it all,

Fantastic

Only wish I could give this more stars. The narrators were phenomenal. The story was well written and thoughtful. I'm glad there was no cliffhangers but there are more books to follow their story. I loved all the details in the book like you was right there living it also. Even describing the smells was a dept in the writing not always seen. Loved this book. This is a top tier story with passion,love, sex and intrigue. Alpha is a must listen audiobook. Will be listening to Beta and Omega.

What a mistaka ta Maka ! (Allo Allo fan)

What disappointed you about Alpha?

It looked as if it could be a quite nice,summer, easy listening fun plot,, where we got to find out why the money envelopes came .......we did but
The sample gave no indication at all that it would be just hours and hours of explicit sexual exploits? or whatever.
l even fell asleep at one point and missed the explanation ! No prude, but l honestly felt that it was boring, and would never have bought it had l had the slightest notion of the full content.
Never have l been so disappointed with a book,

Has Alpha put you off other books in this genre?

You bet it has

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Summer Roberts and Tyler Donne ?

What can you say constructively about two readers who just spend the book reading out what they are doing to each other in vivid detail? Not a lot of dramatic art really needed here;

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Boredom and utter disappointment. Used the zapping button after the first two hours a lot, as l thought it might actually change !

Any additional comments?

Only that in this case the sample listening, really didn't reflect the style of the book , so that is nobody's fault. Had it done so l seriously wouldn't have bought it.

Don't waste the credit

Ho hum. The characters are boring, the story is hackneyed... Rather get Sylvia Day or Jodi Ellen Malpas
