Summary

I don’t believe in fate, but this dragon makes me burn...

I want to be a playwright, not a trophy husband to whatever powerful alpha my family chooses. And when they go too far, I can’t take it any more. I’d rather be poor than their pawn. But when my past catches up to me, I do what I do best...make something up.

Mason Shanahan isn’t my fiancé, but my family doesn’t need to know that. A dragon as powerful as Mason shouldn’t be happy to play along, and a part of me is worried that he’s just as concerned with his status in society as my family. But if that’s true, why does he kiss me like me means it? He says there’s more than a fake relationship tying us together...he says we’re mates. 

No one believes in those stories anymore, myself included, but the more time I spend in Mason’s arms, the more I find myself wondering...are we really faking it? Or could it be fate?

Good story with good narration :)

I enjoyed the story overall, though the mix-up in names (blurb says Mason, actual name used is Marcus (sp?) took half a point off.
Other than that, it's an interesting story - Levi, wanting to be in charge of his destiny, flees his pack. Marcus, a rich, playboy dragon has been sent to a small town to take care of some business (and grow up in the process). As fated mates, they're drawn together, but before they can get their HEA, they have to deal with their differences in background, pack politics and their own issues.
Alex Esquire did a nice job with the narration, I enjoyed listening. Not a bad way to experience the story.

Good story.

Really enjoyed the story completely different from other shifter books I read. Aleks did a good narration of the book. Recording there were a few mistakes like at the beginning there were few sentences that were repeated.

This book is one of my the best I had read, and Aleks Esquire done a brilliant job of bringing the book to life,

His voice drags you in so that it feels like you are truly there, he done a brillant job of bringing the characters to life as well as the story line.

Somewhere between 3 and 3.5 stars.

Somewhere between 3 and 3.5 stars. There was a lot of things that I really enjoyed with this one. I thought that it was really interesting how different types of shifters and competing shifter politics was handled. I also really really enjoyed the take on fated mates here. That it wasn’t an instant we’re together forever, but that you had to work on yourself before you were ready for a mate was novel and interesting and I really enjoyed it. What I wasn’t sold on was the romance. When these two came together, it was so much heat, but I just didn’t believe their actual love was believable and it didn’t completely work for me.

Fake relationship, slow-burn


Levi is tired of simply being a pawn in his family's demands of him.
He decides to present a fake mate in the hopes of being left alone.
When he meets Mason, sparks fly.
Suddenly the lines between pretending and reality are blurred.
Especially when Mason is so adamant that they're fated mates and he tells Levi in no uncertain terms that he believes in him Levi has no choice but to believe in himself as well.
This was really sweet with plenty of heat and I truly enjoyed Alexs Esqire's narration, he truly brought these characters to life.

A Good Listen

What a delightful book the writing was good. The plot was entertaining, and it was steady throughout the book. I found the story and characters wonderful. The characters were developed and thought out. Levi and Mason are the MC’s of this book and mates. There were issues with the narration. I can recommend this book as a good read/listen. I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book for an honest review.

Claimed By Fate by Aiden Bates and Jill Haven. I enjoy this sweet slow burn romance. This story develops nicely. A good combination of world building and character development. If you like M/Preg and shifter this was a good listen.
The Narrator Aleks Esquire did a good job bringing these characters and story to life.

Wonderful!

As a huge fan of Aiden Bates and Jill Haven, I have read almost everyone of their books, so I jumped to the opportunity to re-read this book in audio. The plot is interesting, especially when the authors included different types of shifters, a fake-to-real love story, fated mates, lot of romance and hot scenes, some angst and a wonderful ending. Of course hearing all this in the charismatic profesional voice and acting of Mr Esquire is simply the cherry on top. Wonderful book!.
