Rock the Cradle

Silver Oak Medical Center, Book 5

By: Aiden Bates

Narrated by: John Hong

A DJ becomes a hero. A doctor weathers a family tragedy. And a thin wall between them....

Radio DJ Derek Brown grew up in foster care. He’s built a decent life for himself, but when he’s called on to save a terrified young girl from traffickers he doesn’t hesitate to step in, even at the risk of his own life. The young rising star has become an overnight hero.

Alpha Alex Brennan is a trauma surgeon at Silver Oak Medical Center. When he checks on the patient he operated on the day before, he’s startled to find the “hero DJ” is his hated next-door neighbor.

Despite their shared animosity, Alex can’t ignore Derek’s heroism. When the rescued girl takes shelter with Derek to recover, Alex finds himself drawn to the young omega even further. Working with Derek and his guest dredges up old family tragedies for Alex, and not everyone in Alex’s family is thrilled about the new people in Alex’s life.

Can Alex and Derek forge their own path through family tragedy, and build a new and healthy family together? Or will their pasts keep them apart forever?

Enemies become lovers in this highly erotic gay mpreg tale. This 106,000-word audiobook is brimming with explicit man-on-man action, and is intended for adults only.

Good Story - not the best narrator

I enjoyed the story and liked the relationship building between former rival neighbors, but the narrator just didn't do it for me on this one.

Enjoyable addition

Derek notices something is wrong with a girl while he is working and steps forward to help. This leads to so many changes in his life. Alex realizes that the man being called a hero is the neighbor that has been annoying him for some time. As he battles with his family and his feelings, secrets are discovered. You will be drawn in and find yourself cheering for them.

Terrific Story!

This is a terrific story that had me on a rollercoaster of emotions. The story has many layers that pulled on my heartstrings. The characters are complex, at times hard to like. As we get to know the characters more behaviors become understandable. I laughed, cried, and so much more. I previously read this book prior to listening to the audio version. I had a hard time enjoying the story as an audio, the narrator didn’t click with me. At times he sounded mechanical and emotionless which pulled me out of the story. This is a really great story.

Nice read

I liked this story from Aiden Bates a lot! It had interesting main characters and a well thought out plot...with that said, I was not crazy about this nararator...his speech was extremely slow and over exaggerated. I think he does have potential and would be open to listening to another book in the future with his narration.

Feeling exhausted

I'm really enjoying this new world I have found of human alpha's and omegas. Aiden bates writes the best stories and weaves a wonderful world with challenges and new ideas being challenged by the characters within.
