Hardcore Porn, sprinkled with a little sci-fi.

The "Sci-fi, Meta-human" this novel is billed as, is merely fluff page filler between the extra graphic hardcore porn segments. I love a good gritty fetish porn as much as the next guy but... I never knew until now that it was possible to EXCESSIVELY overuse the word Cock. The Author used the word so much that I found myself skipping ahead so I wouldn't have to hear it beat into my ears over and over and over again.

Came for Greg Boudreaux

I am a fan of the narrator, and that's the main reason I picked up this title. I actually liked the non-romance plot of the story, and the narrator is brilliant as always. But I just got tired of all the sex scenes.

Me listening, looking at the play time in the app: Really? Another one? So they're just going to be having vigorous meta-human style sex for the next half hour?

I would listen to more of the series because the team was cool. I want stories about Katie and the others, so the author does well establishing the world. When an author introduces a team like this, I want to know about the entire team, not just the gay or straight ones. This author seems to be about the MM and not much else as she focuses on the romances of a pair of adopted brothers on the team.

If you like Greg, you know how awesome he is. If you need more than just Greg's awesome voice and want awesome content to go with it... rate your expectations accordingly to whether or not you can stand long, drawn out sex scenes that involve a lot of delayed orgasms. Wasn't my thing, but it could be yours.

Fantastic audio!

This series is one of my favorites, and I was so excited to hear Greg was going to record the audio as he is one of my favorite narrators. And man, he knocked it out of the park! This book is an excellent start to the Metahuman Files series, and Greg brought Alpha Team to life like only he could. Each character has a distinct voice and the accents are on point (Greg's Alexei.. yes please!). I found myself unable to stop listening, even though I have read the book several times before.. and I am sure I will be listening over and over too. I hope we get to experience the rest of the series in audio in the future.

Metahuman Files #1

Great story with interesting world building and a terrific narration, this dual POV sci-fi romance hit all the bright spots for me from the characters, to the plot, to the final moments - it was all really, really good. There was also plenty of action, both out of and in between the sheets.

Then add it being a fun listen on top of everything else and you can color me happy. Greg Tremblay, under his Greg Boudreaux pseudonym (for sexier titles), keeps a wide array of characters easy to follow along with while making all the good parts even better.

I especially loved that the story doesn't have a cliffhanger ending, even though it definitely opens up a series.

I'm really looking forward to the next book in the series, In the Ruins.

I want to finish but I can't

The book started out really good but it soon began to go down hill. All there is, is sex then a battle then sex, then another battle and more sex. I need a story to go along with sex and that is just too much sex.

In the Monogamy

The fun thing about this series centers around the variety of super powers the metahumans have, the interesting situations they find themselves in and the interplay of the characters around their missions.
But if you’re a gay man, you won’t find yourself reflected in these stories. Not only does the author have no idea what men do in bed together but judging by the banter of the characters in their private lives, I doubt the author even has any gay friends. After the first couple of sex scenes they’re all just variatons on the same theme. All of the men are strictly tops or bottoms easily placing them in the banal roles of stereotypically heterosexual relationships. While none of these characters would hesitate to shoot an enemy in the head, light them ablaze or blow them to bits, it would never occur to any of them to flip roles or bring in a third person to enjoy in the bedroom. Craving ownership of each other and jealousy are desirable qualities and getting that coveted engagement ring and that death till you part commitment is the be all and end all of their aspirations. Can you say Harlequin Romance? If you like your men white, clean shaven, smooth and all six packy, their depictions will appeal to you. No bears, beards or hairy chests here. Superimposing any diversity over what’s presented requires some real work from the listener. So why have I listened to the entire series? The answer is narrator Greg Bourdeaux. Such a terrific narrator! With more than 15 recurring characters, he finds a way to distinguish them all from each other, deftly covers accents, and brings authenticity to each personality. Since losing most of my eyesight I’ve listened to hundreds of audiobooks and Mr. Bourdeaux is at the top of the heap.

Awesome start to a new series

I loved this book. The team kind of reminds me of the Thirds in how they work together. They have all been through hell and are working to bring down all the bad guys. Loved that the team is backing them up as they grow and work on living together and finding love. Jamie and Kyle make a perfect couple. I can't wait for the next book in this series to come out in audio.

I love the entire series

They are some pretty explicit scenes if that's a problem for you. Hailey has created an intriguing world but I haven't quite figured out how they take so many showers if water is so dear.

Good if your looking for constant sex in your book

As many of the reviews state here this book goes heavily on the use of cock and the main character is having sex what seems like every other page.
