Summary

Reynard Drake, solitary cybersecurity expert and curator of the Drake family fortune, would rather be chucked in the midden than forced to bed an omega, but as the selected Amethyst candidate for the mating experiment, he has no other choice. Resigned to his unhappy fate, he takes solace in the fact that one thing will never change -his virtual rival, Magpie, will always be there to keep him on his toes, even if he has been strangely absent from the internet lately...

Diamond Disgrace Misha Vasiliev has a secret. By day he learns what it takes to warm a dragon’s bed, but at night he’s Magpie, renowned hacker and dark web service provider who steals from dragons in his spare time. His favorite target? Reynard Drake, whom he's only ever seen in pictures, but whom Misha wants more than anyone else.

And now, with a faceless threat closing in on his cloister, quite possibly the only one capable of saving his life.

Magpie is a steamy omegaverse mpreg-ish romance set during the events of the Forbidden Desires series. It contains pretty things hidden where the sun don’t shine; a scandalous screenshot or two; plenty of laughs; its fair share of tense moments; and, of course, “Beagle!” For maximum enjoyment, Magpie is best listened as a companion piece to the Forbidden Desires series.

Pretty shiny things and no honour among thieves

I love this series by Piper Scott and Virginia Kelly about dragons and their mates, their hoards and the competing clans. This spin-off series from the original Forbidden Desires stories didn't disappoint as we meet the infamous Magpie (aka omega disgrace Misha Vasiliev) who has been the bane of Reynard Drake's existence for years. I love how the two meet and discover sides of each other that they never knew existed. They bring out the best in each other, even when they're at their worst. Highly recommended Dragon shifter MPreg fated mates story, voiced by the highly talented Michael Ferraiuolo, who is one of my favourite narrators.

An enjoyable listen

I absolutely enjoyed this book. Scott and Kelly's co-writing is a cohesive, enjoyable read and very seamless. This tale of Reynard and Misha is absolutely engaging and consuming. Their dynamic is fun, and lovely.Truly a book worthy of always being in the library, it is a good listening book. Ferraiuolo once again creates a dynamic characterization of this story. His capability to keep a listener engaged is truly an earmark of a great narrator.

4.5* of shiny

Another book about that gorgeous Dragon family, this is. A world that I enjoy reading and listening about, this time we are to learn about a more reclusive Dragon and how his life is turned upside down by his Magpie.

Misha is the ultimate feisty omega determined to get what he wants and that is Reynard. Reynard can't believe what is happening, but now he has his mate he's never letting him go. I can't wait for the next in this series.

Misha and reynard


Magpie is a spin-off novel set in the world of Piper Scott and Virginia Kellys Forbidden Desires series.Both use theinternet, they met each other more than once, virtual, as rivals and both feel the attraction. Magpie a Thief is Misha, aka Magpie, clever as he is, manipulates his future so he can be with Reynard in Harry's experiment. Fun and games, kidnapping and falling in love happens, really enjoyed it

Such a great addition to the series!

Magpie is a spin-off story from the Forbidden Desires 'verse and for maximum enjoyment, you need to read it, or better yet, listen to it, in order.

Misha was a force of nature, a bit on the forceful, conceited side, probably due to his diamond dragon heritage, but with a good heart and an inherent knowledge of what Reynard needed from him, someone who could dominate him. And Reynard, even if he was a submissive dragon, he was up to the task to protect both his mate and his family when they needed him. They were just perfect for one other, despite how unconventional on dragon terms their relationship was. Misha and Reynard were hot and sweet and fun and were this close to dethroning Everard and Harry as my favorite FD couple.

Michael Ferraiuolo's performance from the series musical theme that I love to bits, to his versatility to give all the characters in the book distinctive voices and deliver a narration that made me laugh and cry and keep falling in love with this series, was as amazing as always. I don't think anyone could've brought these dragons and their mates to life quite like Michael does.

Overall, this is one of my favorite books in the series, it had sizzling hot mating scenes, hilarious moments, some angst and violence and I got to catch up with all the Drake dragons and their mates. Piper Scott and Virginia Kelly have done such a fabulous work with the series and the spin-offs and after this book, hopefully Bertram's story will come next, I'm very intrigued about him.

Great listen

Another wonderful read in the Forbidden Desires series, Magpie is both funny and sexy. The characters are wonderfully flawed, and have great chemistry together. I love how the Drake family continues to grow in both number, horde and love!
The narration by Michael Ferraiuolo continues to be outstanding. He truly brings out all the emotions with the voicing of these fantastic characters.

Speak Russian To Me

Where can I sign up to hire Michael Ferraiuolo to just follow me around and speak Russian to me all day? Cause I really need that in my life.

Seriously.

This book was amazing. The chemistry between Renaud and Mischa was out of this world, and I adored the unexpected twist of their relationship. Mischa is not the type of omega to do what he is told, and I love that he not only took charge of his destiny, but helped Renaud achieve his dreams too. The emotional levels of this book were off the chart, and the audio definitely worked to emphasise this. The action scenes temper it well, and makes for a well rounded and engaging read.

As always, Ferraiuolo's narration is flawless. He has quickly become not only my favourite narrator, but is one of the only narrators I buy anymore - no one can compare. His accents are fantastic, and his control of humour and emotion is perfect.

A great book all around. 100% reccomend!

Magpie (A Forbidden Desires Spin-Off Story) by Piper Scott and Virginia Kelly. I really enjoyed this story. A good combination of world building and character development. If you like M/Preg and shifter this is the story for you.
The Narrator Michael Ferraiuolo did a fantastic job bringing these characters and story to life.
