Hilarious. Hot. Heartfelt.

Listening to this bundle was a fun , joyful and entertaining experience. I laughed , got hot and bothered , cried and everything in between.

Drew Bacca narration was outstanding. His comedic timing on point . He channeled and became the beloved characters Amy Bellows created in her must-read/must-listen Alaskan Pebble Gifters Series.

The narration production was faultless. It was a true pleasure listening to one of my top 5 , Shifter, Mpreg, MM , romance. series.

Few of the many things that makes this series special and addictive for me , it's the intricate , layered , detailed world-building and character growth. The perfect blend of mythology, legends, folklore and urban legends with likeable and relatable characters ; and romances based on friendship , hot AF steam , humor and love.

I love polar bear and Penguin shifters and this book is so well written.

Drew Bacca performed an incredible audio delivery and narration.
It took me a little while to get Into the narration, but it worked out for me after I listened to a couple chapters.

A pebble and my eternal love for you, An egg and my heart for Ansel

OMG! This is seriously so cute and fluffy and cute as a button! I loved this story so so much! 😍 I mean I enjoyed Amy Bellows’ “Nerds who Knot” series so I was so excited when I heard there was a new book coming with a penguin shifter! 😱 I mean how many times do we see a shifter book with a penguin shifter in it? OMG! So worth the wait! 🥰


First book - A pebble for Lewis

It was young love at first sight for Lewis and Todd. Lewis was only 17 when he first met the drop dead gorgeous polar bear shifter Todd. It wasn’t a joyous occasion when they first met because Lewis’ father was removing his bond necklace with Todd’s help but a tentative friendship has blossomed between them. And it later morphed into something so much more. They are each other’s first love but they come from two very different communities. It’s unheard of for a penguin shifter omega to mate with a polar bear alpha. Will the lovers prevail and get their HEA in the end?

Second book - An egg for Ansel

Ansel never thought he would fall for his friend’s father Daniel who could be strict, uptight and surprisingly innocent for 40 something years old. Daniel always thought men only think with their lover halves and leave when they get what they want. But Ansel could be so persistent, never leaving him and always pestering him and Daniel has now irrevocably and unexpectedly fall in love with him. The only problem, they are both omegas and they need to have a blood child between them for Ansel’s family to accept them. Can they overcome this hurdle and become true mates.


Again, it’s so fluffy and cute that I loved every single second reading these two stories. 💜 This is almost angst free and it was just what I needed at that moment. And bonus point, not only did I enjoy the love and romance between Lewis and Todd, I really really enjoyed reading about the supporting characters in the series. I really can’t wait for Daniel’s story in the series. Abs I just got that in the second book, an egg for Ansel. Lewis and Todd’s love is pure, innocent, sensual and ultimately so heartwarming. And man, they are so hot together. And I also really didn’t think two omegas frolicking together could be scorching hot too! 🔥🔥🔥 Loved, loved, loooooved it! 😍 I really can’t wait for next books in the series. Highly recommended! 👏

Lovely

It has been awhile since I have read these books, but I was right back there listening to the audio. I love the stories here and think that Drew Bacca does a great job with the narration.

The voices are distinct for each character and the emotions are nicely expressed. I could easily listen to these books again.

Kept me smiling

I had forgotten just how much I love Amy Bellows and especially the Alaskan Pebble Gifters Series. After reading A Pebble For Lewis, I waited for book two, but got busy reading other books. With this audio bundle I was able to reawaken all the feel good emotions from her writings. I won’t go into the plot, but will say if you love mpreg, shifters, low angst, sexy sweet times between two men… then you will love listening and reading these books and get the whole series! I’m already downloading the next two so I can listen to them while gardening! Do yourself a favor and get these! Enjoy!

I was given an ARC of this audiobook but am leaving a voluntary review.

Excellent!

Loved the audio version of the bundle of the first two Alaskan Pebble Gifters series by Amy Bellows! Amy has crafted such a fun and unique world here and the stories are wonderfully captivating. Drew Bacca does such a nice job narrating these!

Didn’t hold my interest

The narrator here didn’t work for me. This was my first listen to Drew Bacca & it seems to me that he would be better suited to children or YA books.

His narration style was very chipper & he used his high register a lot, which is something I don’t enjoy in my audiobooks.

As far as the story goes, it was simple and cute. I’m not sure if I would have enjoyed it more had I read it, but I think the narrator helped to make the story unimaginable, IMHO.

Thanks to GRR for a copy of this audiobook.

Great Bundle

Book 1: Lewis accompanies his omega father Daniel to a polar bear's jewelry shop to witness the removal of the mating necklace. Lewis finds the polar bear shifter Todd intriguing and it's obvious Todd is attracted to Lewis. They embark on a journey of love that covers six years and culminates in pregnancy with twin eggs and partnership following complicated penguin mating traditions.

Book 2: Lewis's omega penguin shifter father Daniel and Todd's omega polar bear shifter friend Ansel find each other much to their ultimate delight. Ansel had resigned himself to being partner less and saves for a sperm donor so that he could have a young one his own. Some of the most touching scenes I've ever heard/read yet including some scorching hot sexual intimacies between truly loving and lovable characters!

I received an ARC of this bundle for my honest review.

Cross species romance

There is something inherently adorable about the picture of a giant polar bear and a tiny penguin coming together. While I prefer the first story over the second, both are quite good and easy to listen to. Drew Bacca does a great job voicing these characters and the story. Also, quite a deal to get both audios bundled together.
