Summary

Hot Fuzz meets shifters, meets buddy cop romance in this sexy, high-stakes M/M omegaverse detective novel.

Detective Constable Oliver Reed enjoys two things in life; tea with biscuits and catching bad guys. For twenty nine years he has walked the tightrope between alpha and omega, but that rope is about to snap when one chilly January afternoon he crosses paths with the devastatingly handsome alpha, Detective Sergeant Lucas White. Tensions skyrocket when the two are forced to work together to take down an omega sex-trafficking ring that is rapidly drowning the sleepy towns of West Newton & High Enfield. However, when the case starts getting out of hand, so too does their desire for one another.

This is a shifter/omegaverse novel, set in an alternative version of England where humans are also wolves, men can get pregnant and everyone has a secondary sex. Your mother will probably judge you for listening to this, but who cares? Contains M/M, smut, mpreg, alternative human biology, shifting, Brit-cop humor, sarcasm, a traumatized protagonist, child abuse (implied but never described), and, most importantly, copious amounts of tea drinking. If you're a fan of this genre, you'll know what to expect.

I reread this recently by listening to the new audiobook. The narrator did an excellent job at bringing an engaging story and characters to life. Looking forward to the audio adaptation of the next in the series.

Great story and wonderful narration

I loved the story, the world building, the result of good triumphing over evil but overall the romance was sweet and heartwarming. The narrator was excellent and I listened to the whole story in one sitting!

Brilliant world building and romance

Maybe it's because I've read so many American books lately but the in-your-face Britishness of Hammer & Gavel came as a breath of fresh air. Think police procedural with added tea, shape-shifting, pub brawls, and biting. I'm not usually a fan of the shape-shifting element of the omegaverse but all the rest of the story drew me along without issue. What could have been a dark strand in the story (child trafficking) was handled deftly - acknowledging the seriousness without dwelling on it or wallowing in details.

Derek Duvall reads well, managing a selection of regional accents.

Such fun

All the Britsh humour, sayings and backdrop where such a comfort to me. The office/work vibes were so on point. Tea, biscuits and banter yup and if your lucky you'll find your work ride or die too lol.

Loved that this took you on a journey and was a self contained standalone of sorts (Ollie and Lucas story seems to be wrapped up nicely here) because i think each book follows different pairings and Pembers is next!

Also give the audio a go the narrator is brilliant. Oilles panicked fast talking/swearing are some of my favourite lines.

I only just really thought about the fact that the majority of the books i've read recently are American and I really should look for more British focused ones or branch out and find British authors.

Also I must purchase the physical book immediatly as the cover is stunning!

Britsh humour!
