About this listen

A lustful young alpha meets his match in an older omega with a past.

Professor Vale Aman has crafted a good life for himself. An unbonded omega in his mid-30s, he's long since given up hope that he'll meet a compatible alpha, let alone his destined mate. He's fulfilled by his career, his poetry, his cat, and his friends.

When Jason Sabel, a much younger alpha, imprints on Vale in a shocking and public way, longings are ignited that can't be ignored. Fighting their strong sexual urges, Jason and Vale must agree to contract with each other before they can consummate their passion.

But for Vale, being with Jason means giving up his independence and placing his future in the hands of an untested alpha - as well as facing the scars of his own tumultuous past. He isn't sure it's worth it. But Jason isn't giving up his destined mate without a fight.

This is a stand-alone gay romance novel, 118,000 words, with a strong HFN ending, as well as a well-crafted, non-shifter omegaverse, with alphas, betas, omegas, male pregnancy, heat, and knotting. Content warning for pregnancy loss and aftermath.

I read this series in 2020 and now I’m listening to Michael Ferraiuolo narrate the characters perfectly in 2021. Jason Sable, the “baby alpha”, and Vale Aman, Jason’s older erosgape omega are compelling reading/listening. The world is well developed, the characters fully realised, and the romance is the slowest of slow (and delicious) burns.
Ferraiuolo gives Jason a lovely youthful but mature for his age voice, and Vale a wanting but careful tone. Yosef and Rosen are so warm, Jason’s pater and father are sympathetically characterised and play off one another beautifully - I’m especially fond of Miner. Every single character was even more vibrant with this narration. I’m off to listen to Jason’s best friend Xan’s and Vale’s ex lover and close friend Urho’s story next.

Such a Stellar World. The Best Omegaverse Series.

HEA's are always great. Glad Jason and Vale's love succeeded and ended up as one family.

Very Enjoyable
