Sam Baker couldn’t be more normal. He’s a teacher at the local middle school and the most exciting part of his day is dealing with a classroom full of hormonal preteens. His life takes a turn for the weird one stormy night when he finds a small boy on his doorstep. A boy who growls, flashes unnaturally blue eyes, demands for Sam to call the alpha-- whatever that is-- and gives Sam the one name he wishes he could forget: Vaughn Jerrick.

Vaughn Jerrick is the alpha to a pack of wolf shifters and a doctor to the supernatural world. After sharing a steamy one night stand with Sam years ago, Vaughn couldn’t consider the possibility of a future with the man, no matter how much he wanted him. Bringing a human into his world is against the rules, but one phone call changes everything, and Vaughn finds himself face-to-face with the man who could give him everything he’s ever wanted.

Rescuing one small child turns into saving six from a dark and uncertain fate, and although Sam doesn’t understand the world he’s been forced into, he would never turn his back on children in need, even if it means confronting his past with Vaughn. As Vaughn and Sam join forces to protect the children put into their care, the future they’ve both dreamed of is within their reach, but first they need to survive the sinister force looking to rip away everything they’ve come to hold dear.

I am so excited for this series - it starts with a bang and keeps on going Sam and Vaughn and their new family of kidnapped children made my heart melt!
Sam and Vaughn had met years before, had a steamy encounter, then Vaughn ghosted him. Fast forward to present day, Sam and Vaughn meet up again under very unusual circumstances, and it's go,go go from there. I loved that once they were able to clear up up the past, they made the present and future their own pretty quickly. And the kids - especially Ollie, Ben, Henry - they were adorable. I can't wait for their grown-up stories.

Michael Dean was especially good with the narration. He had the great voices for all the characters, There was a slight tendency for the 'alpha' males to sound a little similar, but the story is so good that you know who is talking.
Highly recommend!

Ms Blake's stories are fast paced, fun reads. I particularly enjoyed this fated mate story because neither MC had to change to fit the story.
I also love that being gay isn't an issue in these books. It's a sweet glimpse of how easy love should be accepted by families in the real world.

I love this book so much! I've reread it over and over for the last few years. It's so sweet with a touch of action. I'd say it's almost a cozy shifter romance. It's a prequel to a series I haven't read, and it stands alone just fine. I like Macy Blake in general and have read other books by her but this one is my favorite. It is about family and has hurt-comfort themes without being sickeningly sweet or overly dark. It has a sweet fated mate love story that develops quickly but isn't an unsatisfying insta- love situation. It is one of my favorite books because it actually feels good to read. I even cry some happy tears at times which usually ruins a book for me but not this one because it's all so sincere and just works.

I can't recommend it enough. Just give it a try!

Sweet Nothings is the prequel to the Chosen One series. I’ve seen it marketed as book 0 in the series, so I figured it was the perfect place to start my Chosen One journey. And oh my, I LOVED it. This book has some minor flaws, but honestly I don’t even care. I love found family and protective parents trope. Mix that in with an interesting plot full of magic and paranormal entities and some intriguing world building, and I was completely hooked on this book and ready to devour this entire series.

The audiobook was narrated by Michael Dean who does a fantastic job. I’ve been a big Michael Dean fan for a while, and it’s because he knows how to voice interesting characters and bring a story to life. The production of the audiobook was also well done and it just made for a fabulous listening experience.

I actually read this one way out of order. I'd read all the Choosen novels, the Hellhounds, the Kiddin' book and some of the Champions. This is Sam and Vaughn's book. The rescue of the children of the Jerrick pack.
Knowing that Henry was a Choosen guardian and that Ben was in his last year of Medical school, didn't help when you see the deprivation that they went through as youngsters. Sweet, fierce, six year old Ollie, was a heartbreaker. As were Jack and Natasha. Emily is a quiet child and you don't get a real feel for her.
A strong mate bond and insta-parenting look good on Sam and Vaughn. The worldbuilding is excellent and the story quick. Loved the book. Can't recommend the series enough

4.0 out of 5 stars Protecting love

I really enjoyed this story. I know this is a prequel, but it holds up so well as its own story. I loved how well things flowed and how the story unfolded. Sam is a force to be reckoned with even if he is one of the physically weaker characters since he is one of the few humans in the story.

I loved seeing the "origin" story for Henry come alive. Vaughn was attracted to Sam the last time they met, two years ago, but there is something different between them now and he wants to see what it is. Sam and Vaughn are strong characters and want nothing more than to protect the kids and try being together. He can't persuade the human to let the pack take care of the captive cubs, but Sam wont let Ollie out of his sight and wont stand by while children are being hurt. They will put themselves in front of anyone that tries to harm the children. They put everything they are into saving the kids and letting them know that they will be protected and loved.

Getting to learn more about Henry's family is great. I liked meeting his siblings, parents, uncle, and the rest of the pack. I love the last chapter of the book, but wish that we got to see more of that part too. I can't wait for the next book in the Chosen One series.

I received an ARC of this from LesCourt Author Services. This is my honest opinion and review.

So, I stumbled on this one, having not read this type of genre or author before. This book at a couple times literally had me tearing up. The interaction of the supporting characters, the kids (oh, these kids!!), Sam and Vaughn, frankly there is nothing bad about this book. I found the listing of order and continued on the multiple series in the author’s world. It is huge, but worth it. Her imagination is impressive. This book will always be my favorite, but others are close seconds!

I didn't know this was a prequel to an ongoing series but oh my gosh I love everything about this book. There's a lot of moments that will hurt your heart because of how the kids were treated. But there's a lot of hope, healing, and that childlike wonder and resilience is just inspiring, and that's been portrayed well in this book. Ollie is a bright ray of sunshine.
Sam and Vaughn are adorable and so good together. It's weird that I find Sam more alpha than Vaughn. But hey, their dynamic works.
Now I'm wishing there's books centered more on this family, the kids and how they are like as they're growing up, the challenges of a human and shifter parents raising shifters and magic user children. I wish the next books were those stories. However, it's on a different tangent which are also great to read. I just want more of this family. =)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series! (an audio review)
Reviewed in Canada on June 16, 2022

These books have been out for a few months on audio, but when I was offered the opportunity to listen to and review all six, I seized it.

This story starts out pretty tense. Sam, an everyday average guy, finds a strange child at his doorstep. The boy demands Sam call Vaughn – the man he had a one-night stand with years ago. The man who ticks all his boxes. The man who walked away from him. Now Vaughn is back and Sam learns things are way more complicated than they seem. Vaughn is the alpha of a wolf shifter pack. Okay, mind blown. Vaughn and Sam race to rescue a group of children shifters as well as a young mage. Okay, mind blown again.

Sam’s invested though – and who wouldn’t be? Fox shifters and bear shifters and wolf shifters and, of course, dear Henry. But there are dark forces and then men and children are in grave danger until they can figure out how to defeat the bad people.

I loved the story and was especially drawn to Henry – which was a good thing. I’m intrigued and can’t wait to go on to the next book.

Quick shout out to Michael Dean who always does an amazing job – especially with the kids. On to the next book!

Audiobook Review: Overall: 5 stars - performance: 5 stars - story: 5 stars

I didn't know Macy Blake as an author before. But she has a wonderful writing style with a fascinating world building. The story is emotionally told and had me hooked from the beginning.
Macy Blake has created a great world where shifters live alongside humans in the real world. When Sam finds a frightened boy on his doorstep one night, he just has to help. But this boy with unnatural eyes is asking for Vaughn, of all people, who just left Sam years ago after a hot one-night stand.
As a listener, I was immersed in a great described world full of people and shifters. I liked Sam and Vauhgn from the start, they are both warm and very likeable and it's easy to empathize with them. It turns out that it's not just one kid in trouble, but several. The kids were cute as well as the overall story. I especially took Ollie and Henry to my heart.

Michael Dean's narration was on point - as always. He brought the story to life with many different voices - including those of the children. The emotions resonated with me as a listener and he was a pleasure to listen to. An interesting and entertaining audiobook that I am happy to recommend to others.

Nice read. Fantasy with insta-romance and a bevy of cute kids. The MC, Sam is very likable, and the alpha, Vaughn, isn't too tediously alphaish. Extended family is rose-tinted but leavened with a bit of snark. Thankfully the werewolf culture the author gives the pack is of the simpler kind without simpering omegas and hormones all over the place. There's a good mix of all elements. I'll definitely move on to the first in the series (hadn't realised this was a prequel until I finished!)
