Shifters of Port Shadow #1
Accidental Baby
Alex needs a baby and he’ll pull any trick to get it. Except, he never thought his fated mate will end up standing in the way…
Alex, an Omega, travels to Port Shadow Island on a sinister mission. His ancient pack has long been in decline and the only way for them to revive their numbers is to kidnap pups from other packs. Now he needs to infiltrate the close-knit, exclusive society of the Silver Fangs, so he takes a position as a babysitter in the pack’s day care unit, though he has never held or even seen a wolf baby in his life.
To Alex, the concept of fated mates is just a long-forgotten legend, so when he meets Zane, he can’t help but get confused about the strong, unfamiliar feelings he is developing towards the virile Alpha male.
Zane, a pack leader from the Silver Fangs, on the other hand, has no doubts that the newcomer is his destined mate. Too bad he’s also the only person Zane can’t trust. After all, it’s an Alpha’s obligation to protect his pack and it is becoming pretty clear to Zane that the outsider Alex is up to something…
Accidental Baby is the first book in the Shifters of Port Shadow Series. It is a standalone novella with a HEA ending, a satisfying epilogue and NO CLIFFHANGERS.
Content alert: This book contains male pregnancy (mpreg), a sweet, cuddly baby and a good dose of hot scenes intended for adults only.

Me agradó que se fuera rápido y que sea muy interesante, con buena acción y buen ritmo que lleva una buena fantasía, salvo me fallaron algunas cosas y que me dejaran en el aire otras tantas.

**** Amazing, interesting, suspenseful, heartwarming, and sexy, these words describe this wonderful tale. **** I loved the deep characters right away.
Beautiful Alex is the Omega tasked with an awful job by his Alpha. Strong Zane is an Alpha who will protect his pack, no matter what. Zane knows immediately that Alex is his "fated mate". Alex has not heard of that, so he's in the dark. Alex is progressing with his plan, until one night, when Zane follows him, and they give in to the attraction, the pull, the eventual bond of a mate. Super sexy times with these hot men, and neither knew what that event would lead to. We get suspense, action, fear, love and blessings, too.
This is the first in this series, and I look forward to more.
ENJOY !!!

This story started out very promising but took a turn into lots of cheesy-ness and melodrama that lowered its rating for me. I found that a number of things stretched the limits of credibility: a shed with gas lamps, somehow affording diapers without anyone seeming to hold a job, and carving a cradle in a two to three day period. There were enough of these moments to kind of throw me out of the story. I did like it overall and plan to follow up with the next one. I just hope that the sappiness is toned down and the plotting is a bit tighter.

I liked this story but it could have been much stronger without some of the cheese. Also, it tended to wander; there was a giant fight with more pack members coming "in the morning" but the other pack walked away to a happy ever after. I'd like to have had some details on the aftermath. Also, where did all the money come from? Little things like that throw me out of a story. I'm still looking forward to the next story and hope it won't have some of these issues.

So I like shifters, and i did like this book. I felt though it did not have enough details or was long enough. I wanted more. I will continue on with the series and enjoyed this author and will look at more from her.

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review*
Oh my goodness, I am SO happy I was offered this book to review. It was a total gem! <3
I really liked that the concept of fated mates was already more of a legend or folk tale than something that happens everyday like in other shifter books. It added a unique twist to why Alex, an Omega, at first simply suppresses his lust and attraction to the alpha Zane, a pack leader from the Silver Fangs pack.
Now, Alex's intentions were anything but pure when he first arrived at the island where the Silver Fangs pack lives. He was sent there on orders of his alpha to kidnap one of Silver Fangs' babies. All because their pack has become so torn from their origins that they no longer seek their fated mates as they should. So his pack has grown sterile.
Alex has all the intentions of going through with this plan because it was his alpha's orders. However, as more time passes that he stays there and the more he gets to know Zane, and everyone in Silver Fangs the more his resolve to go through with it falters.
After he's all but decided to execute his plan, on one fateful night he has a glorious erotic encounter with Zane that changes his and Zane's life forever.
The action and drama that follows was so entertaining I simply couldn't put it down. I'm trying not to give too much away, but, lets just say I was TOTALLY convinced that, a certain ex of Zane's had betrayed him. But I was pleasantly surprised to see I was completely wrong and happy to see other members of Silver Fangs come to their rescue. It was such an enjoyable read I suggest it to all mpreg lovers!
Also, If you're looking to venture into mpreg this is a wonderful book to start with as well!

I read the book in one day. Accidental Baby by Serena Storm It was interesting and entertaining enough for me to want to keep reading to see what happens next for Zane and Alex. I don't want to give any spoilers away. The closer I came to the end of the book the more action happened, especially when Zane (Alex's Alpha) was fighting with another Alpha strong than he was wondering who would be the one to walk out the door alive.
The story tells of one Omega, Alex, that has lived amongst humans with a pack leader that doesn't teach his pack anything about their true nature, and an Alpha, Zane, that has grown up with the old ways on an isolated island. I liked the way Storm wrote the book to include the birth of the child and how Zane and Alex were as parents and of course the agony they go through.
If you don't like your lovers to eventually show love and kindness to each other then you might want to skip this book. But to those who love a book that takes mistrust of their mate, and the other totally unaware what's happening as an Omega with lots of awkwardness and bringing it to love, then I highly recommend this book.

I thought this was a really well written novella.
It was intense, steamy, and sweet.
Alex is sent to a foreign pack to do something unthinkable for his own pack. Kane is there to greet him when he arrives and knows something "off" about Alex and doesn't trust him, but he also realized that this stranger is his mate.
When you find out what Alex is sent to do, your stomach tenses with anticipation and worry. You're hoping he changes his mind And the very least that he doesn't get caught.
When he decides to move forward with what he's doing, he in fact almost does get caught, but something else happens that changes his life.
Now on the run with Alpha Zane, for fear that Zane's pack won't accept Alex for what he had planned, they take off towards Alex's pack. Only on the way, situations arise and they have to stop. Some situations good, others will leave you chewing your nails.
The ending is very sweet and you can't help but fall in love with all the characters.
This is my first Serena boom and I thought she did an excellent job. I will be continuing this series, because I need to know what comes of Bein.

Zane is pack leader and alpha of Silver Fang pack. Alex is Zane's mate but he can't trust Alex just yet until he finds out what he is up too. Alex takes a position as a babysitter in the pack’s day care. Alex's alpha tells Alex to go to the Silver Fang. Alex's ancient pack has long been in decline and the only way for them to revive their numbers is to kidnap pups from other packs. I loved the story line and plot. This was a great book and my first from Serena Storm and wont be my last. I received a copy of this story in exchange for an honest review.

Enjoyable
I liked this book. I love fated mates stories. I liked Zane and Alex. They made a good couple. Really liked the bit of action. Kept me on the edge of my seat but didn't drag on chapter after chapter. I liked how Port Shadow was rustic and earthy. It really sounds like a beautiful place to live. I would have liked to see more integration of that life with some of the amenities of modern life. At times, it felt like the worlds were too disconnected. I am looking forward to Bein's story. I hope his is next.

I really enjoyed reading this book.. The main characters Alex and Zane are fun to read about.. When Alex reveals to Zane his real reason to join the pack. Zane takes his pregnant mate and runs. Just as they are finally settling in with new baby Aurora. Th past catches up to them and Aurora and Alex go missing will Zane be able to find Alex and Aurora before it's to late or is he destined to loose them forever..
March 22, 2016
A great book :-) I just love Alex and Zane. After everything Alex needed to do on the island to steal a baby it was great that he and Zane are infact fated mates, zane was such a softie and he and Alex have there HEA with a little surprise of there own Aurora ;-). Now it wud be great to see Bein have his HEA. I do love a good M/M story no matter be it wolves, aliens or just regular guys ;) this is a worthy read thank you Serena X

Doesn't sound like Alex came from a good pack so I'm glad he met Zane before he made a huge mistake. I would have liked to know more about how he grew up. Obviously Zane lived in a good pack but he was still missing the spark that Alex could bring in his life. Zane is such an amazing mate to pick Alex over his pack. I really like how Alex talks about his pregnancy experience and how relatable it is.

Accidental Baby is an amazing story! I love the whole shifter fated mate concept! This book grips you from the beginning all the way to the very last page! Secrets, uncertainty, betrayal, acceptance, gut wrenching fear, Love, and so much more! I hope there will be many more books about this wonderful world that Author Serena Storm has created!
Read
March 20, 2016This is a good read. The characters are well written and the story itself is well written. I liked the characters. There are a couple of twists to the story with a HEA ending. There are a couple of sections that may make you cry.
March 25, 2016
Alex is sent to steal a baby for his pack. He doesn't count on Zane, the Alpha. He falls in love and sees what life is supposed to be. T his is a terrific story with a great plot. It is so filled with love and passion. I recommend it . I received this in exchange for an honest review.
March 13, 2016
This was enjoyable. I'll read the next installment as soon as its available.

Good book
The ending was so cute. I will be reading more books in this series. It was short and does not leaves you at a cliffhanger. Which is a good thing in my book.
