About this listen

Spitfire disgrace Matthieu Boudreaux has one wish: to age out of the Pedigree he despises, then destroy it. With one year left before he achieves the first step of his goal, Matthieu finally has some hope for an independent future. That is, until a surly Amethyst dragon by the name of Geoffrey Drake and his entourage show up at Matthieu’s cloister and inform him he’s been selected to be part of an "experiment".

Geoffrey Drake, proud and stuffy legal counsel for the Amethyst clan, has been charged with ruining his own life. His mission? Deliver a potential mate to the son of the Amethyst clan’s most despised enemy - and the man he’s loved in secret for the last hundred years - Topaz dragon Ian Brand. Refusal is impossible. Dragons don’t consort with dragons, and should Geoffrey decline, he risks exposing them both.

Ian Brand, charming black sheep of the Topaz clan, is trapped between his forbidden love for an Amethyst dragon centuries his senior and his duty to his family. Chosen by his unhinged father to be the Topaz candidate for the mating experiment, Ian is faced with a terrible choice: run away with the man he loves and face the deadly consequences or accept his fate with a broken heart.

But dragon magic - as Matthieu, Geoffrey, and Ian soon discover - works in mysterious ways. When an unforeseeable circumstance draws them all together and puts their futures at risk, they have no choice but to set their differences aside and work together to prove a new, startling truth....

What the dragon world knows about mates has been wrong all along, and it will be up to the three of them to prove it.

Please note: Mate is a steamy omegaverse romance involving male pregnancy that will leave you in stitches. It contains an experiment gone awry, five eccentric peacocks, an unusually large number of whelps, an ancient Viking Daddy dragon, and science! For maximum enjoyment, Mate is best listened to following the events of Clutch and Bond.

Geoffrey and Ian have been lovers for awhile the only problem is that they are both Alphas therefore their relationship is forbidden, Matthieu just wants to live his life as he wants not how others tell him,when he is giving to Ian but Ian really doesn't want him, this is a fun book to listen to, the peacocks leaves room for jokes about cocks.
Really enjoyed this a lot, Michael Ferraiuolo was amazing with great delivery on the one liners. His take on all the characters was fabulous. Definitely one I will be listening to again. Feel good book.

Worth all the stars

I recieved an ARC of this book and hadn't read the rest of the series, so I was worried that I wouldn't enjoy it. Boy was I wrong! The story is beautifully told and is quite angsty in places, but never loses its sense of humour. The other characters really made me want to go back and see how we got to this point.
Michael Ferraiuolo does an incredible job with so many different voices and so much emotion. also, there are accents everywhere in this book, and he's amazing at them. The honks are everything.

Loved it

When I began the book I wasn’t quite sure in which direction it was going but once Matthieu the spicy French omega was introduced I understood and immediately fell in love with his character

This book not only presents as a satisfying saucy romance but also helped me understand the concept of polyamorous relationships in a better light

All around a fabulous book in an amazing series brought to life by Micheal Ferraiuolos narration.

🔥🔥🔥🔥 4.5/5 Steaminess

Fantastic Story!

I absolutely loved the first two books and this didn’t disappoint.
Geoffrey and Ian have been lovers from differing clans for centuries and both being Alpha Dragons 🐉, their relationship is forbidden. Matthieu is an omega disgrace and has lived more than half his life in the pedigree, yearning to be free. Fate brings Geoffrey, Ian and Matthieu together and an experiment changes their lives and that of their family and clans.
We meet all our favourite characters from the previous books but my favourites are Harry and Everard! I could listen to Michael Ferraiuolo narrate dialogue between Harry and Everard all day he is so hilarious, he has them bouncing of each other. I’m sure there could be another book there Piper and Kelly, Hint! Hint!

Eggstremely cute dragons whelps galore!

I don’t want to get the names wrong but Jef, Ian and Matthew are in for a roller coaster before they can mate. As part of an experiment Ian has to mate with Matthew and Jef is just one hair away from crazy jealousy. Their journey is long and it takes so much sacrifice and risk but at the end it’s all worthwhile.
Awesome narration! Those accents...

Adorable dragon mate...

I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed when listening to this audiobook - well, the only disappointing thing about it is the fact it’s the last in the series (that I’m aware of - please make another!)

I absolutely loved this series from beginning to end, each one with such passion (in and out of the sheets 😉😉), with humility, love and respect as well as hilarity, and there’s LOTS of that too!
Each book managed to draw a tear, not in sadness, but for the conclusion to the hate and fear that was endured.

I cannot praise these authors and the narrator enough for giving such a great experience and wonderful fantastical adventure.

I really hope this isn’t the end, as there are two more brothers sexcapades that haven’t been told yet - I get the distinct impression that when Joff telephones his brother to find out his net worth, and that said brother’s phone is answered by a mysterious ‘dominator’, (but obviously in the middle of another sex scandal I’m sure), it seems to have left an open avenue to explore.

I sure hope the authors do!

Thank you both for lighting up a very dark part in my life at the moment - I really needed this series, especially characters Nate, Harry & Everard 😆

Thank you so much ☺️

So I think this book may have just pipped the post as my favourite in the Forbidden Desires series. There is so much going on with the relationship between two Alphas (Geoffrey and Ian), the introduction of omega Matthieu, an unheard of triad bond, the disgraces being named as dragon omegas and then the fight against the Council for recognition of their relationship and clutch.
This is a story packed with emotions from three very different characters, regardless of their alpha/omega status. Geoffrey really grew on me throughout the story despite how frosty he seemed in the previous books, there's so much more to him that we get to see now. Ian is a great mate to both men, standing strong but there is real depth to his character, especially when it comes to his awful father. Matthieu is a real firecracker, definitely not a docile omega and he knows what he wants from life, plans thrown slightly off course by an unexpected mating that quickly incurs strong feelings between the three of them.
I was so drawn into the story, I quickly worked my way through the book needing to know what was going to happen after every thing that happened!
Even better than the story itself from Piper and Virginia was Michael Ferraiuolo. His outstanding narration was so much fun to listen to. He brought out all of the emotion from the characters and the situations that they found themselves in. And one step further - the accents. Holy crap, there were so many and he nailed every single one. Never failing to keep each individual character the same with their voice. Along with the Drake family that we have met in this series, we encounter men from all of the dragon families and even the one family that has at least six individuals not including the children. Michael should be so proud of his work on this book and series overall as he brought it to life and made it so easy to love.

Oh wow, what fantastic narration!!

I don't know if this is the last book the authors will write in this series, but if so, it is a fantastic conclusion. I loved the omega Matthieu and his strong, snarky disposition. I loved the way he planned for a future that didn't fit the omega typecast, and plotted the downfall of dragon society, even while he sat in a cloister likely to be mated. I absolutely loved the MMM dynamic between the two alpha dragons and between them and Matthieu, and it was great the way they kept finding new family members and connections. Is their revelation the end of dragon society or the beginning? Fantastic story! I love the way Matthieu cared about the fates of the other disgraces trapped in the cloisters and set out to free them all, not just himself. I also really loved the way Geoffrey's family supported him, even after his secret trysts with Ian were revealed. Finally, I loved Mat and Iggy together. I bet they could raise some hell!

The narration was fantastic. Great job of providing different voices for the various characters and capturing the atmosphere of love and caring in the family components.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook through the author and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Fantastic!

I love this series! If you have already read everything, you should try this. Dragons, omegas, eggs, whelps and peacocks! And Monsignor Dragon Perverse! And Michael gives them all unique voices ! So good, hot and hilarious!

Honk honk!
