Two hundred years ago Kendrick Ashwood had a premonition that showed him the gruesome image of his brother being killed in the line of duty while serving with the Alpha Unit. When centuries go by and Keelan is still alive and well, he begins to relax. He believes that his prayers sent to the Gods to make him wrong this one time have been answered. As Kendrick feels his godsdaughter’s magic flare … flare out of control he immediately merges with her in an attempt to rein it in. That is when he learns of the tragedy that has taken his only family away from him. Using every resource at his disposal he immediately heads for Lycaonia to find out for himself who would be suicidal enough to harm his brother. What he finds shocks him to his core. Anne Bennett gets a phone call that changes her life. Her new best friend Keelan has been hurt and his commander is asking her to move in to help take care of him. Her heart breaks when she hears from his family that the dreams she has been having of them together were shared by Keelan and that he was meant to be her mate. Upon meeting Kendrick, her entire world is shaken. His more mature appearance and perpetual frown makes him look more like the man from her dreams than Keelan ever did. As the Alpha Unit races to find the enemies who have stolen Keelan’s soul and covered Lycaonia in black magic, Kendrick begins to uncover dreadful truth behind the necklaces. When turning to Anne feels more natural than it should, Kendrick faces the fact that Anne truly is his mate. As the paranormal world teeters on the brink of chaos, he finds himself protecting not his brother’s mate, but his own.

Hit me right in the feels by starting with a death. I love that they are getting into anime, and that Ryuu gets to have an old friend come into the mix. I don’t like the Committee. Meryn has empathy powers, wow! And Kendrick is really the prince of Stormkeep. I’m loving all of these surprises. Tiny ninjas! Keelan’s protecting everyone, I’m glad. Ooh, I wonder what’s happening at Noctem Falls.
That’s what brothers do
This series just continues to get better with each book. The alpha unit is at it again, keeping us on our toes and grabbing our sides as they take us through an emotional wringer love, laughter, anger, family and friendship. In true alpha unit form, we meet some new people and reconnect with everyone else. I can’t wait to read what happens next!
Kendrick is my favorite of all of the males in this series. He is humble (considering his level of power) but confident, protective, and quirky in his own way of doing things. In so many ways, he is the male equivalent of Meryn… although much, much sexier.
I also like Anne, and I think she makes for a great partner in helping care for Keelan.
Part of what I liked about this book, and what made it so different from the others in the series, was the slow-burn nature of the storyline. They both felt so much confusion over their situation that it made their coming together all the more satisfying. The book definitely rivals the first as my favorite in the series.
Love this series, loved Kendrick and Anne
Bewitched and Bewildered book My Brother’s Keeper. Loved it, Great Story! Loved Kendrick!, he is Dr Who and Sherlock Holms with killer magic skills. Meryn finds another roll model in him. He subtly show her it’s OK to be the way she is.
Loved his mate Anne, a human, a nurse, a strong, level headed, practial, but loving woman, who saw Keelan has her best friend. I loved her revelation about the people in town having an awareness of the paranormal world and their trust in the ones they know, like the Alpha Unit.
Kendrick and Anne bonded over their care for Keelan, they were so made for each other. For a while there was confusion on which brother was Anne’s mate, but they trusted each other and the visions Keelan sent them to find the truth. They are just what Alpha Unit needed. Kendrick’s big reveal an interesting plot twist, can’t wait to see what happen with that! Heartbreaking, when Kendrick figured out how the amulets were made. The betrayal by those they trusted devastating. Can’t wait for the next book!
I just love this series so much. It’s fun, cute, hilarious, and totally addicting. I can’t seem to get enough of Meryn, Aiden, Colton, Rhiea, Gavriel, Beth, Darian, Amelia, and of course Ryuu. I missed Keelan a lot in this book though. I loved Kendrick and thought Anne was sweet. Alanea Alder did a great job of progressing the story line enough to keep me hooked. She just keeps building and building on a great plot. And because the other characters are so much a part of each book, they all have well developed personalities. The parts where it was just Kendrick and Anne were steamy and sweet, but I did feel there should have been a little more focus on the couple. I loved the scene with the girl scouts. I laughed so hard! In this book just like with the other 4 books Meryn was my favorite character. I just adore her crazy self. I know she may bug others, but for some reason she just works for me and makes me smile and laugh in every book. Of course this book is a to be continued book so I am really looking forward to when the next book comes out. Come out soon Please!!!!

Title: My Brother’s Keeper
Series: Bewitched & Bewildered
Author: Alanea Alder
Designation: Book Five of Series, Full-Length, **Can Be Read As Standalone, No Cliffhanger #paranormalromance #fantasy #shifters #vampires #fae #witches #sprites #adultcontent
My Rating: Five Delightfully Entertaining Stars*****
**Each book of the Bewitched and Bewildered series features a different couple finding love along with their very own happy ending and can technically be read as a standalone. However, there are recurring characters and an underlying interconnected conflict that play a major part in all the books, therefore to avoid spoilers, I highly recommend reading the books sequentially.
OMG! I loved, loved, loved My Brother’s Keeper. Alder’s books are like crack for us paranormal romance junkies! I can see it now: Room in a church basement, a circle of chairs, surrounded by a group of grim faces, and I stand and say, “Hello, my name is Judy and I’m an Alanea Alder paranormal romance addict!” lol… All joking aside, Alder’s books really are addictive. They’re like potato chips; you can’t stop with just one! This is the fifth book of the series and each story gets better and better! I can hardly wait to dive into the sixth! lol… I love unique paranormal romance, addicted to danger, action, adventure & suspense, completely smitten with sexy, alpha heroes, adore sassy, courageous heroines, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than a few mind-bending plot twists along with a generous infusion of laugh-out-loud humor, but when I can get it all in one exceptionally well-crafted and beautifully written book, I’m in absolute heaven! And that’s exactly what Alanea Alder delivered – AGAIN – in My Brother’s Keeper, the fifth full-length paranormal romance in her riveting and highly imaginative Bewitched & Bewildered Series. Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! Would I recommend it? You bet, and I am but only for adult readers since it does contain explicit language, some violence, and steamy, dreamy sex. Will I read this author again? Absolutely which is probably the best recommendation I can give! As a matter of fact, after completing the first book of this series, I raced back to Amazon and purchased the remaining nine books and signed up for her newsletter, which speaks volumes as to how much I enjoyed this author’s work! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! I was glued to my chair, white-knuckling my ereader, my heart fluttering wildly in my chest as the pages flew as quickly as the pages!
I fell in love with gruff, growly Kendrick. He was so strong and such a mystery, but OMG, wait until you find out who he is! Shhh… No spoilers from me. And the beautiful, human nurse Anne was so loving and selfless, refusing to abandon her best friend! And talk about a case of mistaken identity and plot twists out the yazoo! Like wow! But Kendrick and Anne were just so perfect together. Sigh… so dreamy! If you’ve been following this series, I can hardly wait for you to find out the true identity of Kendrick and Keelan! Totally blew me away! ANd once again, this story ripped my heart out of my chest! I snickered, snorted, sniffled, snuffled, chuckled, and outright ugly cried through the entire story! But just a little warning, folks, don’t start this book unless you have plenty of time; you will not want to stop until you reach the last page. I should know; I stayed up all night AGAIN because I couldn’t stop reading! lol… Alanea Alder, you’re killing me! If you enjoy perilous danger, intense drama, agonizing angst, pulse-pounding action, nail-biting suspense, side-splitting humor, heartwarming romance, and a few mind-blowing plot twists that you’ll never see coming, then this book is screaming your name. Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read! Thanks for the recommendation Fran Zoch!
Love!!!
One of my top 5 of the series. Love the world created by this author
