JACKMy life ended when I was sixteen. Not literally – I’m no ghost, I just feel like one. Byproduct of losing your pack to a plague that skips you by like you’re not worth the effort. Chose all the good ones and you’re what was left behind. Survivor’s guilt, people call it. I just call it like I see it.I do a decent job of going through the motions. I’ve got a good reputation as an alpha, and … reputation as an alpha, and everyone loves to joke about the only vegan alpha in North America. Some days even I’m convinced that this is it. As good as it gets.
Then Dylan Kapernit walks into my shop and blows that theory to hell.
Its like everything was gray and now there’s technicolor. He pops, no matter what corner he tries to hide in. Like my eye can’t help but be drawn to him, just to make sure he’s alright.
There’s something about this widowed father that brings my protective alpha instincts surging to the surface. In ways I’ve forgotten how to handle.
So of course my efforts to make things better only make it all worse. Put Dylan, his whole family in danger. For a second, I forgot about the curse of being me.
But I won’t forget again. And I’ll do whatever it takes to make it right.
To make sure nothing ever threatens the man I love again. Even once I’m gone…
DYLAN
After my mate died, I was sure I would never love again. But I’ve got a track record of being wrong about everything.
I thought Micah and I would grow old together. That one stupid mistake couldn’t destroy my whole world. That I could be enough for my daughter, that I could make up for my past sins. I thought I was doing okay.
I don’t know what I believe in anymore, but I know its not myself. Which is why I can’t tell if Jack Hickam is my redemption or my punishment.
One moment he’s everything I thought I’d never have again, and the next he’s my new greatest mistake, bringing unimaginable danger to my door. My daughter’s door.
Only now it seems I was wrong again, that I turned my back on the one man who just wanted to have it. I don’t know if I’m too late to fix things. I always have been before.
All I know is I still have to try.
This 50,000 word novel about vegan alphas, mpreg, and life after loss comes complete with a HEA no one’s immune to – as long as they’re over eighteen!

I loved listen Dylan and Jacks story , it was so heart warming. The title is perfect for this story, because it captures your attention and sucks you in to the characters. As for the narrator he really was awesome and provided me with excellent visuals of this story. They are 2 broken souls who have lost a great deal and not sure how to move forward in life. I love how they hit it off right from the start. I must say that through the time spent apart it was evident they belonged together.
This is such a sweet and funny story. I fell in love with Jack and Dylan so easily. I loved their developing story set around lives trials and tribulations but with a paranormal twist.
Highly recommended!
I received this as a free Audiobook. I didn’t read a description before I started listening. Suffice it to say, I was completely unaware it was a shifter book with two males – one alpha and one omega, and it was a mpreg book.
I had never read a mpreg book before, so I was surprised when Dylan wasn’t feeling well. I thought it was the wolf flu. Lol.
The story had a little too much angst for me. Both Jack and Dylan seemed sad and lonely. Even when they got together, that sense of sadness permeated throughout the book. I was glad they found each other, but I didn’t pick up on any real chemistry or connection. I wanted to feel something about Jack and Dylan, but I didn’t, just a neutral feeling.
The narration was ok. I have listened to Jack Calihan narrate before and he brought a lot to the story. A couple of times, I wasn’t sure if it was Dylan talking or one of the guys in the shop. Jack had a very distinctive voice, but it didn’t sound any different whether he was angry, sad, frustrated, happy, etc. The situation in this book seemed so dire. I am honestly not sure whether it was the writing, the narration, or a bit of both.
Josie, Dylan’s daughter was the bright spot in the book. She just couldn’t shine a big enough light to brighten this book.
I voluntarily listened to and reviewed this audio book.
I enjoyed this MM shifter mpreg romance. Jack and Dylan were characters that both made my heart ache. This book offers up a complex blend intense emotions, drama, steam, humor, sweetness and tender moments. What you start out thinking will be a fairly straightforward romance soon surprises you by taking some interesting turns that move things to a whole different level and you will be left wondering if this couple can survive the all the issues they are facing. I did have a few petty annoyances with the book but nothing that couldn’t be let go fairly quickly. I thought the narrator did a wonderful job. He had a very enjoyable voice that was pleasant to listen to and I felt he did an excellent job of differentiating between the characters.
The narration by Jack Calihan was so well done. He has a deep clear voice that is a dream to listen to.
Note: it is a M/M, Make Pregnancy, Paranormal-Shifter book.
This was my first book by Preston Walker & Liam Kingsley. I have read two MPreg books in the past and did not really enjoy them as there was a lack of actual storyline and It felt like there was a rush to meet the criteria for the genre instead of pacing the story. The same can not be said for Drawn to you. This book had a lot of drama and angst. I definitely pulled me in from the beginning. Without spoiling the ending I feel like it all worked out a bit too conveniently for my liking which was the only big complaint I have about the story.

DRAWN TO YOU is a stand-alone Mpreg shifter romance about finding life again after unimaginable loss.
Both Dylan and Jack have endured tragic loss, and yet their lives couldn’t be more dissimilar. When chance brings them together, there is no denying the attraction between the two very different artists. I loved that they weren’t coy one another.
Dylan’s family and Jack’s small pack are each amazing in their own ways and I would love to find out more about them all. This could easily be expanded into a series by choosing a direction and putting furry feet to the ground.
I didn’t like that Jack, as an alpha, acted more like an Omega when it came to his health and the health of those around him. Major jerk points to him! Still, I understand the reason for it in relation to creating a story. Sometimes an author must be cruel to produce a work worth reading. Ripping our guts out in order to construct a masterpiece of beauty … or at least cuteness and reward.
This is the first book I have read from either of these authors. I hope it won’t be my last. They provide humor, love, sexy, family, and community in a wonderfully, deep and moving story.
Favorite line: Jack: “For the record, you’re all missing out. I could be bringing you the best hummus in Seattle thirty minutes from now.” “The thing is,” said Mark. “The best hummus in Seattle is still hummus.”
Note: I love hummus, but this had me giggling for a long time. This is exactly how my friends yank on each other and I loved it.
Narration: Jack Calihan has a rich baritone voice with a steady cadence, clarity, and good pronunciation. He is easy to listen to and I would definite pick up another book if he were the reader. It must have been fun for him to be reading a character with his own first name!
There were a couple of production errors – overlaps and drags. These should have been caught and corrected before release. There was also one instance where Adam was called Avery, and I don’t know if that was a written error or a blooper that wasn’t caught.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via audiobookwormpromotions, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
