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 … 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 read 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 read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. HEA definitely included, intended for 18+ readers only. Seriously, would you expect anything less from Susi Hawke and Crista Crown?

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the connection between Lance and Ozzy. Man, Lance in shifter form is absolutely adorable. Ozzy met Lance when him and Cyrus were interviewing Lance’s mother and step father about the disappearance of their youngest son and only heir Spencer, who was only 6 years old when he was taken from the private shifter school he attended about 6 years ago. Lance’s parents are completely stuck up and don’t actually care about Spencer as a person but as the only heir to their family fortune that’s totally another story. Lance tells Ozzy and Cyrus that they shouldn’t believe anything that comes out of their mouths and that they should talk to the people who actually knew Spencer like himself, his old bodyguard and the house staff as they’ll tell you the truth. Man Ozzy and Patton have a strained relationship and I think that Patton just tries to be the opposite of his brother to annoy him and also since they’re constantly referred to as one person. It’s completely heartbreaking what Spencer had been through, which would be hard for any kid to endure but even worse for him since he’s autistic. I loved how Patton found a way to connect to Spencer pretty much straight away but it was hard seeing Ozzy trying so hard to connect to him as well but constantly been ignored even though he knew Spencer can’t help it, you could just feel how much it was weighing on Ozzy. It made the moment that they finally connected that much more beautiful. I’m looking forward to reading Patton’s book as I think he’s going to fall so hard for his mate but knowing Patton he’ll piss off his mate in some way initially. I’m also looking forward to seeing him and Ozzy get closer as they made so much progress in this book but there’s something holding them back to accepting each other as they are. I’d definitely recommend this collection, each book in the series and both authors to everyone.

Ozzy and his twin work for Alphabits. When new information cane up on a cold case, Ozzy felt like he had to be in the field.
Lance was so tired of the act his pretentious parents put on when people came to talk about his missing brother. It’s been eight years since Spencer disappeared, but if these guys are serious about finding him, then Lance needs to talk to them.
This group of guys are big, strong alphas, but they are full of heart. These stories have great characters. Things happen quickly, but the book isn’t long. The story has all the feels expected of a PNR.

I loved Ozzy and Lance!
Another heartbreakingly sweet tale with the loveable Alphabits Team!! I loved shifter stories with different shifters and I loved this Fennec Fox story!!! Lance is strong, sassy and so caring. He’d do anything to find his brother and the journey the Alphabits take to find Spencer and what happened to him opens up more cases for the team. I’m loving this series and all the characters!
This story has all the hallmarks of a fantastic Susi Hawke & Crista Crown story. I love the banter between Ozzy and his brother, Patton and their polar opposites are even more apparent with Ozzy finding his mate. I also love the special connection between Spencer and Patton. It shows Patton’s big heart and I’m looking forward to his story up next!
